Hey Patzi..

I did very well.. even when I tore off a piece of ham to throw to their dogs, I didn't even lick my fingers. I went straight to the sink and washed my hands. But I received several compliments from my sister-in-laws family. They were extremely proud of my food decisions. I had chicken, salad that my mom made with spinach, romaine, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers and mushrooms .. I took my ranch salad spritzer and then while everyone was enjoying coconut cake & strawberry shortcake.. I had my strawberries & jello. I was SO full. I didn't even eat the chocolate pudding HNS but I did have my HNS Kiwi Melon drink. My sister-in-law was sitting next to me with a plate full of ham, baked beans and potato salad and she said she felt bad for me.. I said.. don't feel bad for me, I'm just fine.. I feel bad for you guys :D It wasn't until they had stuffed themselves and everyone fell asleep.. I sat there full of energy and feeling great about myself and my choices.

Anyway - the turkey in the crock pot smells amazing! I'm not even hungry but I know I have to eat.

Hope you enjoy your OP meal for dinner.

I went to weigh in yesterday morning, and I lost a pound. I'm very happy about that since I'd lost 3 lbs the weigh in before. I'm now at 40.5 lbs down. I hope by next weigh-in it will be another 2-3 lbs. I'm going to work my hardest on that.

Great job today! I think planning the meals in advance makes all the difference. I thought it was pretty funny you told your sister-in-law you felt bad for her :D.
I did pretty good today too. Yesterday was really hard making the easter baskets and not eating one single piece of chocalate...But I did it!!! I also made rice krispie treats for a party today and did not lick my fingers or the spoon one single time :p I did however make the amazing cheesecake for my dessert for the party...but I only ate 1/2 a serving. I didn't feel deprived at all while everyone else ate their strawberry shortcake and rice krispie treats.
Hope everyone loses at next WI!

For those who haven't had anyone notice their losses yet, it seems that no one noticed my loss for a while either and then BAM, everyone noticed. It almost seemed overnight too! So, just keep it up and you will be surprised one day about all the compliments!

Well, I weighed in today, but I'm not counting it. So I more accurate record of my weight loss, I always weigh in wearing the same outfit so I know that the loss is due to me, and not the different clothes I'm wearing. Of course, I left my outfit home today. :( Instead, I had to weigh in wearing jeans. Oh well. It'll make it look that much better on Wednesday, I guess.

I also decided to do the Meta-Quick diet for the next week, except for Thursday since that's my wedding anniversary. When I was MRC before, I'd do it every 6-8 weeks to give my body a boost. Hope this works again.[/QUOTE
I don't blame you, jeans can make a big difference. Hope metaquick works well for you this week!

My mom doesn't seem to grasp what is ok on program...and just didn't have what I asked her for. I asked her for some frozen veggies and fruit so I could eat that with whatever meat we would be eating all weekend (which was BBQ brisket for dinner Sat and roast on Sunday). But she got canned green beans and canned mandarin oranges for me to eat....so I did what I could with that.

She barely cooks at home (and when she does, its hamburger helper or frozen meals) so she had no other options for me. I'm feeling bloated, but I'm guzzling water today and will hope for the best at weigh in tomorrow!

Teacherlady- congrats on buying some cute new dresses! I can't wait to see your pics!

Wish I'd thought of wearing the same outfit, but I do try to avoid wearing jeans at all costs. I wear my work clothes, which are a lot light materials.
