Hello Ladies...I am back and been having a hard time getting into the swing of things. Let me tell you..I let myself go those days in Vegas. We had a wonderful time. Me and hubby are not big gamblers so we rented a convertible and went exploring. We had a great time. We went to the Hoover Dam, Lake Meade. Drove to Utah and went hiking in Mt. Zion National Park. We had a blast. We did gamble some. Hubby had a dollar and won believe it or not 1000 quarters....so we gambled the rest of the time on Vegas. We went to see the Blue Man Group. We had front row tickets. The show was awesome. I had seen them before in Boston but this was the first time for hubby and he totally enjoyed him self. We went on a Gondola ride at the hotel called the Venetian. That is the most beautiful hotel that I have every seen. It made you feel as if you were really in Venice. We did that on our anniversary.

Sorry guys gotta run...work is crazy...I will tell more tomorrow...

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Well it is me again...and I am trying to get back on track. I weighed in on Saturday and I was up 4lbs...that is alot. But let me tell you. I totally enjoyed my self while we were in Vegas!!

Quick question....I am thinking about doing the 3 day...on my own...since I am on maintenance the center will not allow you to do the 3 day....so I am going to buy the Hollywood juice and do myself...but I can remember what I can have. Can someone help me out. "Please" I would like to start tomorrow....on Wednesday...and then hopefully when I weigh in on Saturday I can be down...and I will have cleaned out my body. Let me tell you...all the junk food that I consumed while in Vegas...I am lucky to have only gained 4lbs. Any help about what i can have on the 3 day will be appreciated. I think I can have all the meat and green veggies I want. And you drink the juice 2 times a day. There is something about eggs...1 or 2 a day. Geez I really don't remember.

You guys know I love sweets....so I think I had ice cream 2xs a day when I was there. No peanut butter....well OK...I had peanut butter cups in my ice cream....*smile*....really didn't eat much food just sweets...isn't that funny. We went to a couple of nice buffetts and believe it or not I passed on the food and went straight for the desserts. My hubby could not believe what i was passing on.

Kim....I am sooo excited for you about your cruise....It is justt around the corner. What day do you fly out?? When we went on our crusie the cruise planner lady filled out all of our forms...so we didn't have to do anything. that part was nice. But believe me I read and re-read all the information. You are going to have such a great time. I am jealous. I wanna go back.

Gotta run for now...will check back in later....Have a great day!!

Hi Tab:
3-day consists of:
Unlimited proteins, no pork though
unlimited green salad vegetables
2 glasses of the juice 5oz. mixed with water.
two eggs a day, you are allowed butter or vinegar and oil.
It sounds like you had fun.
Diane

Hi Ladies,

Tab-Glad you're back and good to see you had a wonderful time! That's what celebrations are all about, enjoying your without restrictions, sounds like you had a blast!

As nice and helpful as our cruise planner was, he never offered that service, but it only took a few minutes over the internet. They just want to make sure that our passport information is given in advance and then they compare it with what we bring on board the ship. We fly out on the 22nd of Nov. Our flight actually leaves at 7 AM, can it be any earlier. I did try to have it changed but that was the best and plus it's non-stop.

I've been working out twice a day and I'm really trying to restrict my eating. I guess I'm starting to feel the pressure of the cruise. Anyway, I'll be glad to get a way and my plan is to really enjoy the cruise without a lot of restrictions on myself. If I exercise than OK and if I don't than that's OK to.

Well, I have a new supervisor and it has not been an easy 2 weeks. I guess I've learned to work on my own and do things the way management wants so this has not been easy, but I'm adjusting. The good thing about this is no staying late for me, now at 4:30, I'm out of here everyday and I'm loving that.

Also, 2nd job is coming along, after the cruise, my schedule will be cut in half so I'm looking foward to that and then hopefully, I'll be giving them a ending date soon.

Well, until the next time, have a great mid-week day!

Good day to all,

I thought I better post before things got to crazy. I went to a spin class this morning, it was great and boy am I tired now. It's such a great workout, I love it. I only do it once a week but at this point I don't think I could make it to another class in the course of a week. I really push myself and I'm feeling it now.

I hope everyone is doing well. I'll check back later.:)

Good day ladies,

I hope all is well. I see I'm the only one posting but that's OK for now. Hopefully, we'll be more active next week.

I didn't work last night I stayed home and got some much needed rest. Anyway, I had a good worked out this morning and the work day has been busy.

Well, until next week ladies, have a great & healthy weekend!!

Hay Ladies,

Where is everyone:?:

Has everyone jumped ship?

Oh well, it's been a day today so I decided to stop by and hopefully read a post for encouragement. Anyway, I guess I've got to encourage myself.

Hopefully, someone will be around tomorrow.

Until then, have a great afternoon/evening!:)

Hello Everyone!!

Wow...I am still trying to catch up. Well ladies I think I have fallen off the wagon. Halloween is the worst time for me since I just love candy. I can pass on everything but the candy. I ate soooo much candy on Friday night that I made myself sick. I had the worst stomach ache. No kidding I proably had 30 or more little candy bars. I would give to the trick or treaters and then I would eat 2 or 3 myself. It was horrible. By 8pm I was out of candy and I felt horrible.

Sooooo needless to say when I weighed in on Saturday I was still up the same 4lbs. I didn't gain or lose. I stil plan on doing the 3 day. Going to actually buy the juice from the center on Friday and start Friday morning. They will weigh me on Friday for a start weight and then I come back Monday night for the results. If I can just lose these 4lbs I would be happy. I am desperate to get my body back on track. I need to be detoxed from the sugar. I just can't seem to get enough.

Kim...I am here but I don't know how much encouragement I will be. I am still trying to pick myself up. Wish I could be of more help. Just being able to come here and post helps.

The good news I have not touched a piece of candy since Saturday. Of course my house had no candy but I went to a friends and believe it our not I raided her daughters treak or treat bad...I am soooo bad....so I have been candy free since Sunday...only 2 days...but it is soooo hard....and now all the stores has the candy 50% off. And I love candy corns...and you can get bags for less than 50 cents...I am dying. I will survive.

Hope to hear from others. How was your halloween experience. Please fill me in...Was I the only one to fall off the wagon...*smile*

Hi Ladies:
Tab I had so much trouble with the candy also, thank goodness there is none left. I thought about doing the three day but changed my mind. When ever I lose lately after doing the juice I end up gaining it back a few days later.
Kimbo you are going to need that vacation. Be careful restricting yourself.
I have not been consistant with my diet lately. I have the weeks left at LAWL but I just don't want to do it right now. I am doing the yo-yo thing and thats no good. So I need to take a real break from LAWL. I just go weigh in to use my weeks.
Diane

Hey Diane,

Good to see you are still around. My weeks have been on hold for a long time now at LAWL. I believe once I get back from the cruise I'll have more time to go and weigh-in, so I just might start back then.

I started on a herbal cleaners a couple of days ago and it's been working really well for me. This is very unusal for me, I'm very hard to go to the bathroom, but I've actually been going quite a bit. It's also suppose to help detox the body which helps with cravings and I've actually found that to be true. Well, I'm going to continue to take it and even take it on the cruise with me to use once a day (now, I'm doing twice a day).

Anyway, I guess Tab is trying to play catch-up at work, it's not like her not to write but I guess she'll be back soon.

Diane-sometimes we need the break, we focus so much on diet that we forget about other things in life that we should be enjoying. We have the rest of our lives to eat health and lose the weight, so try not to be to hard on yourself.

Until later, have a great day!:)

Thanks Kimbo
Diane

Hello Ladies....

I am here..and yes I am playing catch. I cant seem to get caught. Everyday seems to be something new going on. But I do read what is happening with everyone. And now I don't know if I am going to do the three day. Why?? Saturday is my girlfriends b-day and we are going to go out and she wants us to have a few drinks...and being on the 3 day I can't do that. So why pay the money for the juice if I know I am going to blow it on Saturday. And TOM should be here next week...so I might just hold off on the 3-day. I have only ever done the 3 day at the beginning of LAWL so I thought maybe it would help but I am not so sure now. I am questioning myself.

Gotta run...hope to write more. Ladies we have to pull ourselfs together...we are going to need some good support we have the holidays approaching us fast. So we need to work out some kinds of support system.

You're right Tab!

Holidays are fast approaching and I've been looking at some other boards that are a little more active but I really do like our small group. We're more cozy this way, not knocking the other groups cause they do have it going on in a good way.

Tab-make sure you buy that stuff at Wal-mart, it's a lot cheaper than a drug store.

Last year I did very well during the holiday season and I hadn't started my new way of eating until the end of the year, but I'm sure with the cruise and all it will be a different story this year.

Well, I'm leaving early today to pick-up my truck, brake work done so I'll write tomorrow.

K

Hi Kimbo:
I know what you mean about other boards it nice but its not the same. I have trouble keeping track of all the names.
Well I am really feeling a mess lately. I have to start really focusing on the postive I have been very negative lately and
besides messing up my diet plan and I am just not to happy with me.
I started the 3-day today, just to stop this binging cycly I am in.
Diane

Hello Ladies....

Dianem1....I know what you mean about the binge cycle. I just can't control myself. I think since all the halloween candy I have went completly downhill. I honestly think that the only thing is saving me is working out. Since I work out like a mad woman I think I am not gaining but I am not losing. We have had a class the last two mornings and yesterday I had a huge blueberry muffin and candy for breakfast....and today I had a huge chocolate chip muffin and candy for breakfast. I am a mess. I need to make up my mind about the 3 day. I was actually going to buy the juice from LAWL. I know it is expensive but I really wanna do it right and for me to be on 3 day and get weighed by them I kinda need to buy their juice. I am hoping that by doing the 3 day I will stop the sugar cravings. Also I am afraid of losing the weigh and then regaining .... so I don't really know what to do but i need to make up my mind before friday morning. I was going to go to my center by juice and start this friday. I am really considering this. So I might just do it. Anything that will help. Since I have been eating bad these last two mornings I have been trying to compensate my other meals. Like I won't eat my Luna bars...and I won't eat my startches. I am just trying to watch my calories.....keep me posted on how you did on the 3 day. I will not be able to post again until Monday....and I will be done by then so I will let you know how I did.

I personally need to get a handle on this before the holidays. I used to have self control but lately I don't seem to have any.

Kim...I enjoy our small group also. I can keep up even if I miss a few days...I can jump right back in. Well I was just a break from class and now I am going back. Oh yeah...they have these awesome cookies at afternoon break but you know what I went for.....the candy....someone brought in the left over halloween candy and yes...that is what I have been eating. I just need help. Someone needs to kick me in the butt. Actually I want to kick myself after I eat it. So why, why do I do it. Boy if I could answer that question I could help soooo many people

Well ladies I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will keep you posted on my 3 day......

Have a good one...
