Well heck....I maintained today :( I was hoping to have a loss, but reflecting back and looking at my food journal, I understand why. I am probably lucky that I maintained. I was OP most of the past week, but it sure doesn't take much to change the course a bit, does it? I guess we need those reality checks occasionally.
I go to my "Stabilization" class tomorrow night. It is out of town for me, so the hubby is going, and we will celebrate:) I am going strong for at least another month, then plan to move into Stabilization. I think I am ready....This disappointment with expecting a loss every single week for 6 months and not always getting one is rough on me....even though it is me that controls it all. So...keep up the great work all! Sounds like many of you have a plan for the holiday meal, and that is the first step to success! Bigdog is right when she says that that meal isn't our last, either...so we don't have to eat like it is :) Love it... Thank you, Jen, for ALL of your positive strokes and comments to each of us individually on this board. Means a bunch to me!!!! |
Bigdog... Here is my turkey and veggie meatloaf in muffin pan
Before maintenance, I used whatever veggies were on my list and omitted the onion. Yesterday I made it with the trinity frozen mix of onions, peppers and onions, vs. the bagged dry broccoli cole slaw. I believe the slaw is OP, and that is what you should use and omit onion.For ketchup, I used tomato blended to make a sauce before hitting maintenance. This recipe came from cooking channel. Ingredients.. 1 small onion 1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey. 3 cups bagged dry broccoli cole slaw,roughly chopped 1/2 cup quick cooking oats 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 tsp. no salt 1/2 cup fat free liquid egg substitute 1/4 cup, plus 3 tbs. ketchup bread crumbs to bind( made with bread on program).. I now use Panko plain I just eyeball the bread crumbs Heat oven to 350 degrees F Using box grater, grate the onion into a large bowl. Add turkey,broccoli cole slaw,oats, garlic powder, no salt, egg substitute and 1/4 ketchup.. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Spray 12 cup muffin pan with Pam or any non stick spray. Evenly distribute turkey -veggie mixture among the muffin cups , and top each with a teaspoon of ketchup if so desired. ( this is the three tablespoons of ketchup) Bake in oven until firm with lightly browned edges.. My oven takes 35 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. I do not like the ketchup on top ,so omit it. On my turkey mixture, I use the medium fat one. I do not use the .5 lean as it is terrible and comes out so dry. Choice is yours which one you prefer. Hope you enjoy it. Patzi |
Here is the recipe from Jamie's website...I think the only thing I need to leave out is the onion. Plan on making these up this weekend. It's very similar to patzi's. Maybe I'll make a tin of each:)

Turkey meatloaf
Thanks Patzi and Gina,
both recipes look great! i'll definitely make these this weekend...i love to have stuff ready so i can just heat it up...i just read an article online on tips on adding more veggies to all dishes and suggested cutting up broccoli, celery, green peppers, etc. very small and adding to almost everything :-) i remember my DH talking about his mom adding celery to spaghetti all the time, i guess that was to add some veggies.. Thanks again! |
Hi, everyone! It's been a few days...
Did a WI on Tuesday and was down 7lbs total (in less than a week!) Got my blue menu for days 5-10 (today was day 5.) I volunteered all day at my two middle kids' school today and a teacher I see frequently asked me if I'd lost some weight. I was elated that someone noticed!!! (Then a classmate of my son asked if I was having a baby...guess I wore that shirt with a little too much confidence today!) I got the MRC brownie recipe and tried it tonight. I was scared to try it because it seems I have kicked my chocolate/sugar/starch habit and I thought this might kick start a craving, but I am relieved to say I thought it was disgusting. :) I won't be making it again. |
Morning everyone. I've been doing good...but I can tell today will be a tough one. Just found out my good friend had complications during pregnancy and is fighting for her life on a respirator. I'm consumed with thoughts and prayers for her. And I'm an emotional eater. Right now I don't want to eat, but I should...and as the day goes on my tendency is to grab for food when I'm sad and stressed. So remembering to stick with the plan and know that food is not going to make her well. Times like this make everything else pale in comparison.

10 ways to watch your weight over the holidays The holidays are upon us, but that doesn’t mean you have to change into your elastic pants. This year, consider changing your approach to holiday eating and exercise, instead. With a little planning, you can wallow in the season without the weight gain. Here are 10 tips to see you through the holidays. Eat, drink and be merry – in moderation 1. Eat your fruits and vegetables first: Make a deal with yourself – promise to eat your daily fruits (1-1/2 to 2 cups) and vegetables (2 to 3 cups) before you indulge in seasonal sweets and treats. Fruits and vegetables fill you up with high-quality, low-calorie nutrition. If there’s any room leftover, go ahead and have that treat – you’ve earned it. 2. Dine before you dash: Before you head out to a party, eat a hearty, healthy snack. With your hunger satisfied, you’ll be less tempted to overindulge in high-calorie party food. 3. Remember – location, location, location: Position yourself far from the buffet table, and focus less on the food and more on the people you came to see. When you do eat, linger longer at the beautiful fruit and vegetable platters. 4. Savor slowly: Allow yourself a few special sweets and appetizers at holiday parties, but be selective, eat them slowly and enjoy them fully. 5. Plan your potluck: When you are invited to a potluck, bring something healthy and low in calories that you’ll enjoy eating. 6. Limit the liquor: Beer, wine and cocktails pour on the calories fast, so limit yourself to a drink or two when you go out. Between – or instead of – alcoholic drinks, try sparkling water with a splash of cranberry juice and a slice of orange. 7. Say “no, please,” or freeze: Let well-meaning friends and relatives know that you are working on your weight, and ask them to reduce the size of their usual, sweet gifts. If you can’t do that, then tuck their fudge and fruitcakes into your freezer to enjoy now and then, instead of all now. Fit in some fitness 8. Walk to shop: Do your holiday shopping in places designed for walking. If you go to a mall, park far away (as if you had a choice) and walk the mall a few times before you start your shopping. 9. Get creative with indoor exercise: Find a place to jump rope on your lunch hour, or walk up and down the stairs several times every couple of hours. Even 10 minutes of aerobic exercise is better than nothing. 10. Celebrate the season – get out in it: Instead of inviting people over to eat, invite them out for an afternoon of hiking, snowshoeing, skating, skiing or sledding, or plan an evening walk to look at all the neighborhood lights. ’Tis the season – get out in it! |
Jen - Thanks for the info. I also like the tips for watching yoru weight during the holidays. They will come in very handy. :)

Made it through this long day without going OP. My friend is (miraculously) still alive and they will begin taking her off the respirator soon. Besides her getting better, it was awesome to know I could stick with this even when life got crazy and plans for the day were thrown out the window. WI is tomorrow...since I am doing the at-home program I have the advantage of always being able to weigh at the same time (right after getting up).
Excited to try some new recipes like the meatloafs this weekend. |
Hi ladies!
Went through the "Stabilization" class tonight, and it was really neat. Very informative, then they played this "celebration" music and we all had a picture taken together, then wrote on an individual balloon that we later let go of outside. It was a fun experience. I cried letting my balloon go...sort of an emotional time for me. I still can't believe sometimes that I have lost 42 lbs...for me, that is a HUGE accomplishment. We had 14 people at the class, and the total weight lost between all of us was 800lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There were some very inspiring people there, and it was just awesome to be around them all. I thrive on support, so identifying directly with others doing MRC was way cool :) Most of us still have a few pounds we would like to lose....but the new challenge is closer! Awesome feeling :) Well, off to bed now...taking this "All Day Weight Loss" has the before bed pills that seem to knock me out. I kinda like it after a long day! Bedtime is my favorite time :) Good luck to all! |
