Stacy,
I do the same thing...but the longer I am on LAWL the more I find myself doing this less and less. Don't beat yourself up...just get back on the wagon and keep on working on it. I think it's such a mental thing to lose weight as well...and sometimes our biggest enemy is our own mind. So jump back on the challenge..and keep working on this....I believe we all will reach a point that this is the lifestyle we live...and we don't have desires for things that are bad for us....either food off plan, or too much on plan food! Stay strong...and we always have your back!
Thank you guys!!
I talked to my sisiter in law earlier and we are going to walk tonight for an hour! (Since I haven't exercised since Wednesday) and I made some OnPlan chicken salad this morning..... I thinkI am going to save my shake for dinner today. Eat my fruit and starch early..
Thanks again! I just hope I didn't gain!
Day 2 of TO for me. Won't know til tomorrow if it was worth it or not! COD put me on the limited, which isn't as bad as I thought. I'm not feeling hungry. Just a little dizzy.
They told me NOT to eat beef, pork or tuna for 3 days after TO. Has anybody else heard of that? They say that those three are too high in fat.
Stacy - everybody has bad days, whether it's intentional or not. All you can do is take one day at a time, and move on. Don't dwell on the past "mistakes" or misfortunes that are made.
Have a great POP day everybody! I personally can't wait til tomorrow when I can eat breakfast! Have that need to chew ...
Have any of you ever made spaghetti squash? I am baking one now. Curious about putting spaghetti sauce/tomato sauce on it. Probably not a good idea ???
A friend of mine did it once when she invited me to dinner. Not bad and a good alternative for spaghetti... but definitely not the real thing LOL
Hi all,
I am new to the forum. I have been lurking for a few days trying to get my passwords and stuff to work. I started TO yesterday and was down 3 pounds this am. Woohoo!!! Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi.
Hi Daphne and welcome!!! Glad to have you aboard. What part of Nevada are you in?
Okay, you big boozers, I joined you too. I drank a TON of green apple wine last night. I even drained my sisters glass while she was changing her baby and filled it up with water. Hehehehe. I definitely need my lemon water today. Oh well, shouldn't have, had a great time though. I giggled all the way home. I am one of those drunks who thinks everything is funny. Wait a minute, I am like that all the time. Anyhow, back to it today. We are taking my grandma out to lunch, so I need to do well at the restaraunt for sure.
**I am back on the wagon after three days of -I don't know what- but anyway, I have been good today. I am saving my shake for dinner tonight hoping that will help the scales in the morning (starch and fruit early in day)
lots of water drinking I was trying to drink a glass of water between each "drink" the other night. DO you think that helps? Man, I did pee alot-between the beer and water! haha
Hellow ladies,
I am just popping in to complain...lol (whats new?)
One day off plan and i gained two lbs! IS THAT EVEN LEGAL????
So today i had a banana for breakfast, shrimp and broccoli for lunch and i am showering myself in lemon water...i also went to the post office and food lion walking! 2 days ago my scale read 178.1 so i cant ruin that...i am not going to WI until wed... Lets see if i can get read of the demage until then!
I just wanted to let you all know that I've been reading the posts and I think this challenge is great. I really like the Slim-Fast shakes but I can only drink them at home on my days off from work. I work 12 hour shifts and I get so hungry when I just have a shake. But I will definitely drink them on my days off when I can usually eat whenever I want to (it just depends on what my babies are doing). I weighed myself first thing this morning at home at the scale said 176.5. I was so excited. It has been almost 6 years since I was that "light."
Just checking in on Monday. I was really good this weekend ... well that is until my neighbor invited me to a cookout... now i did good until the ICE CREAM CAKE came out... i only had a little piece but i wish i had the wp to resist! Oh well... I had a good brkfst today ... a recipe out of the NEW cookbook... 1/3 cup of cereal, 8 oz no fat yogurt, and strawberries, 1 pkt of splenda. mix it all together.. yum yum... 1Fruit, 1Dairy, 1Starch.
I will weigh in today... we will see how it affected me. I did go on a 3 mile bike ride this weekend so maybe i will be okay :-)
DAPHNE - Welcome to this wonderful forum... tons of helpful ladies here.
Hope you all have a POP (perfect on plan for those that are new:-) week!!
Ok, I've GAINED weight on the challenge. I was 170 this morning, but after thinking about it I realized TOM should come in the next 2-3 days so hopefully that is it. I will stick with it through TOM and see what it looks like then. I could probably be more vigilant about water intake as well.
Stevia is AWESOME. I really like the liquid (the powder doens't mix as well, esp in cold beverages). I found a guy off ebay that is selling it for $10 for 2 bottles (it was $17/bottle at kroger). That includes shipping. I really encourage you to check it out. Katie, are you liking yours?
OK ladies.I am staying OFF the scale till end of this challenge.I am telling my DH to hide the scale(so if I am tempted I wont know where it is at.lol)I weigh too much so I am taking on this challende like Katie!!I want to be at my goal at the end of this challenge or at least real close!!!
Glad you found this thread! Everybody here has been sooo supportive and helpful!
