thanks! Yeah the Connections class is a "group thing", but you will talk about all sorts of good stuff. This weeks topic for us was emotional eating. Which I know for me really hit home. I hope you enjoy your class and have a good WI. Keep us posted!

Just got home...only down 3.5 pounds in two weeks, but I'm down 16.5 inches! I'm excited!

Weighed in and got measured on Friday - Down 17.5 lbs and lost 17 inches since January 2nd! I'm so excited. :D

I got a piece of ribbon that was 17 inches long to document the inches lost. I stuck it on my fridge as a constant reminder for myself. :)

That is awesome!

After WI this morning down 3 more pounds!!
Only 4 more to go to hit 60!!!

WOOOOHOOOO!!

Thats so awesome!! You give me hope! hahah :bravo:

Yes, I like this diet. To be honest, I was really bummed to find out that I was going to be on a "special" diet when I first started. But then, I started losing weight just as fast as everyone else and realized that this is what MY body needed.

How were the meatballs. I love turkey, I might have to try them out too. :)

Lost 2 1/2 pounds at my last weigh in, so now I am down 10 1/2 since Jan 9th! Got my 10# rock. You wouldn't think that little piece of glass would be so important! Kind of fell off plan the last couple days since we were snowed in...but, I am back on plan today and headed to the gym tonight. I will see how it all goes when I weigh in tomorrow.

Super Bowl Sunday was pretty tough - all that food! But I tried to keep my belly full of water and just try and eat my MRC ranch dip with veggies that I made. I feel very good about myself that I stayed on track, but oh my gosh, it was difficult! Now to conquer Valentine's Day.....

Congrats on everyones weight loss! and... I cant wait to try that "ranch dip" All though im nervous b/c i HATE cottage cheese..but i bought the stuff..its worth a shot!!

Hello,

I'd also try the cheesecake made with cottage cheese. That's what I eat for breakfast most mornings. :D It is so good and you can't even tell it's cottage cheese!!

Ooooh You had me at cheesecake haha..is that in the cookbook?

what's the recipe for that??

If you blend it really, really well you honestly cannot taste the cottage cheese. I've been amazed at the things that I can make with cottage cheese - and not even taste it. For me the key has been to just blend the **** out of it so there are no chunks.

I'm planning on making the cheesecake for my breakfast and super interested to see how that will turn out. :)

Just got home from my WI, I'm down a half a pound! I'm so disappointed and upset, I've been staying OP 100%, been working out and only down a half of a pound in a week!! To top it off, I've had a sinus headache since Saturday!!
I'm worried I won't be able to fit in my shorts in March for my California trip, it's less than 6 weeks away!!
