50 lbs GONE!! Geez luweez I'm frozen! I have been walking a mile in the morning after taking the kids to school and I think the spit froze to my teeth! I have also been walking a mile in the afternoon before picking up kids and a mile at night after they go to bed. I been doing the bowflex and the ab lounger. I cleaned out my closet the other day and tried on some clothes, some of them I thought surely would not fit but actually they were too big, woo hoo. I officially have the saggy butt in the jeans syndrome, I need to go shopping. I am in 16's now and the butts in them are starting to sag too, 14's here I come! I am losing my boobs too (poor girls I will miss you) but well worth it. I had rather keep the butt and boobs and lose the belly instead, but, Ill take it. My boobs stick out farther than my belly, thats something I have not seen in years. I got a new tatoo to celebrate 50 lbs lost. Its a rose and the stem curls into a C for my maiden name and there are three butterflies a bigger blue one for my son, a medium purple one for my oldest daughter and a smaller pink one for my youngest daughter, I got it right over my heart (yup hurt like ****) but its pretty. Hope everyone is doing well!

Congratulations of the loss of 50 lbs!! Your frozen spit comment .....Too funny!

I completely understand!

Hi everyone, I am on the beige menu and need some different ideas for combinations of meals, especially breakfast..any help anyone could be would be greatly appreciated.. I am trying to stay OP...Thanks, Deborah

I would try the recipe thread first. There might be something there that is of interest to you. The cookbook also has some good ideas.

I like to do things that you can make ahead. I will use the pancake recipe from the thread (the one without an HNS) and then pair it with the turkey sausage in the cookbook. I also make french toast ahead and freeze it. You can easily reheat it in the toaster. I know a number of people on the board do cheese toast for breakfast. Smoothies using cottage cheese are popular as well.

Hope this helps!!

THanks!

My Favorites:
French toast
eggs w/ toast
Pancakes w/out the HNS
Make scrambled eggs & Sprinkle a little cheese on them and then warm your corn tortilla until it's crispy and slide the eggs on.
A lot of mornings I'll do MRB b/c I'm in a hurry

Good luck!

Went to WI this morning and am down another 2 lbs.! YEAH!!!

Hello everyone, sorry I been MIA... so much stress going on with my daughter still no news yet but now she has a crazy rash on her face so we -r- going to the Dr in the am....... I see all the great weight losses!! Keep up the great work everyone. I dragged my self to WI and I was down 1.5 pounds. I am not sure how other then stress is eating the fat.....

Congrats on the loss and good luck with your daughter! We are still keeping all of you in our prayers! :hug:

I think I have officially hit my plateau... I only .5 this week! I am not discouraged though, you have inspired me to keep going!

Do you take the MR6 as well? I have been taking that from the start.

Hi Denise! I had the taco casserole for dinner last night and it was sooo yummy! I think it may become a staple, especially since we are now getting some cooler weather. It is so nice to have something already prepared that I can just microwave--it also keeps me from stuffing my face with everything within arm's reach when I get too hungry from a workout! This casserole is so tasty, too. You continue to impress me with your inventiveness. I served it with brussels sprouts, which are my new favorite veggie now that I have found them in individual steamer servings at the grocery store. Who knew brussels sprouts were actually tasty?

I'm so impressed with your thrift store find, btw! I really need to take my old clothes to the one at the end of the street. I have such a hard time parting with things, though. I feel guilty for not completely using them up, but for heaven's sake...the stuff is way too big now!

Gosh, Carrie! That sounds serious! I'll try not to get in a smaller size than you. ;) I think I may have to correct myself on the Diane Sawyer issue. I believe she is 20 lbs lower than what has been recommended as my bottom limit, but when I looked up the height-weight chart for 5'10", the range was 135-174. She might have just squeezed into that lower limit, but I'm telling you that she's got to have much smaller bones than I do! Seriously, though, I'm thinking about lowering my goal to 160 to see what happens. I wasn't terribly uncomfortable in my size 14's today, but I found myself wrestling with them all day. I didn't feel good in them.

What happened to the recipe thread...am I crazy..I don't see it anymore..please help...Thanks Deborah

Hey Deborah.... I think you might be crazy....:dizzy: haha! I just clicked on the blue hyperlink above (the one that says >metabolic research center and it was displayed all of our threads.... the recipe thread was the top one.

Maybe there was a system issue earlier?
