omigosh!!!!!!! there is going to be a New Kids on the Block reunion tour!

I feel 12 again!

Chrgrl-YAY NKOTB...LOL I hear ya on the same old stuff. Today is 8 weeks for me and for the most part i have done awesome with the food. Every now and then im kinda like..Uhh now what do I eat. I really need to work on recipies. That chili sounds good. Great job.

I made buckwheat pancakes for breakfast. I am out of cottage cheese and my yogurt supply is slim. I have to have lunch on the fly so i figured Id have a good breakfast. Instead of oil I used applesauce and I subsituted eggwhites for the egg. It was almost fat free because I also used skim milk. The mix has 1 g of fat but not to bad. And I only ate 2..I made 4. I have breakfast for tomorrow as well.

I have 2 birthday parties today. So exercise is bult in again. Gotta love getting paid to work out.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. TTFN!!

Hello everyone. Just had a piece of peanut butter toast for breakfast. I'm running late with. And put on a pot of pinto beans to cook. Hope to make the leftovers into bean burritos this week. I've also got some shrimp thawed out so I can make a salad with shrimp on it. I need to get eating more fish to. Don't know what I'm doing this afternoon guess I'll just wait and see.

Sparkle - That bar should have 5 grams or less in the sugar dept. So it isn't a good SB thing. Have ya got your beans on to?

Monet- I'm so sorry about your Aunt. I'm glad you get to go.

Thin- I have the Secret. It was good. I think I need to watch it again. I'd forgotten about it.

Gym- wow I love buckwheat pancakes. My DH makes the best waffles out of it.

chrgrl- Boy are you doing it right. All the planned meals are so great. Keep up the good work.

Well I'm off. Have a great afternoon.

I made WW pancakes this morning, only 1 egg in it, but a whole cup of buttermilk. They would not be something I would eat on a regular basis. I made hubby 2 big ones and myself 2 small ones. I could not believe he liked them, but of course smothered in syrup I would have liked them a lot more also, ha ha. I put 1/2 tablespoon of grape jelly on each

The pinto beans are great! Hubby finished off the brown rice. I told him all I have to do now is get him off the white bread.

Well, got one more load of clothes to do, so I'll talk to y'all later!

Hi Everyone,

I had to go out of town on a family emergency. My sister had surgery
(she's fine now) and since I'm the only family member not working
right now I went to help her though it. I did the best I could to stay
on program but with her grown kids and neighbors bringing in food
I didn't do real well. I weighed when I got home and I am down a pound
and a half from when I started. Everything considered, I'll take that. Now
I want to get back to a better way of eating. One thing I have realized
is I am going to need more accountability than the plate thing. I some
times eat kind of cafeteria style, some of this and later some of that.
I have decided to count points ala Weight Watchers but eat only the
Sugar Busters plan food. Have any of you done this or counted calories
while using Sugar Busters? I brought back a George Foreman grill my
sister gave me. She got a larger size. I am going to try it out tonight.
I have to run to the store for at least a few things and decided to get
some lean pork chops as my first try on the grill. Do any of you use one?
If so and you have any simple recipes that are legal please pass them on.
I am going to try and go back and catch up on the posts I missed over
the next couple of days. So far I only read the posts from today. I hope
everyone is doing well and having success with the Sugar Busters plan.
I am sooooooo glad to be back home. SMW (SlowMovingWoman)

I used my GF grill a lot when I first got it, but not so much anymore. I have done pork chops, chicken and fish on it. I would also do onions and bell peppers on it also.

Supper tonight was breakfast with an omelet which had sauteed onions and bell pepper in it.

Everyone have a nice evening and I will talk to y'all tomorrow!

SMW: i follow the SB plan but log all my calories at the spark/people website. i don't trust myself yet, and i eat a lot of small things throughout the day instead of sitting down to meals on a plate.

breakfast:
shredded wheat with skim milk, splenda, cinnamon

lunch:
Toni's stew
strawberry smoothie

snack:
apple

dinner:
low carb wrap with turkey bacon, mayo, soy cheese, and lettuce
steamed cabbage with spaghetti sauce and grated parmesan cheese

snacks:
yet to be determined. probably a SF pudding and maybe some peas.

Hey everyone,

Today was good..Tireing. Glad its over.

Good food day for the most part.

B-2 buckwheat pancakes w/spray butter and sf syrup
L-cup straw and van yogurt
s-Apple
d-pork chop w/applesauce, brusselsprouts and a sweet potato
s- 4 pc sf candy
I had an eary dinner and a light lunch so i was hungry later after dinner. I had 2 more buck wheat pancakes cold. I realize this is a lot of carb/starch but still it was easy and I was hungry. Now I am quite ful, drinking my green tea and almost ready for bed. I hope I wake up feeling better. I have that clear throat raspy voive going on..Not to fun.

Good morning everybody! Don't forget your meds this morning.
No bkfast this morning, I'm just not hungry, but am taking one slice of WW bread with peanut butter on it for a snack around 9am. That's when the BS will start dropping if I don't eat something.
Lunch: pinto beans left over from yesterday (no brown rice this time)
Supper: don't know yet, hubby is out of town so I will not be cooking very much.

Have a good one!

Happy Monday, everyone!

Thanks to all for the pms tips......i survived with a little bit of off plan eating, but we also had my dad and stepmom here for dinner Sat, night, so we had subway sandwiches and I did not overeat......back on plan today and forging on.

Please keep my son in your paryers, He is scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning. He is 18 and has autism, so surgery/hospitals can be scary for him.

Have a great Monday everybody!

Michele

Happy Monday Ladies.

Weekend was ok. Wedding was fun. The food was delish. I did have some Chicken Cordon Blue and a small amoutn of al gratin potatoes, but I did pretty good. Had 1 bit of cake b/c a friend made it and wanted our opinion. Cleand house all day yesterday and ran some errands. I was so sore and hurting all weekend, I did no exercise. I feel better today and will go to the gym tonight or take a long walk since it is supposed to be nice today (around 50's) and rain tomorrow. Anyway the gym is always packed on Mondays.
Breakfast was 2 hard boiled eggs (out of protein powder), snack will be a banana, LUnch is left over pizza with veggies made on ww crust and apple. Dinner will be over fried chicken legs and veggies.



Slow moving woman, glad you are back with us. I did the WW points and ate SB food. But knowing i Couldhave other foods on WW did me in. I had a GF grill, but the plates did not come out and cleaning was a mess.

Toni, Is the party this weekend? I know you are counting the days to see your son.

Gymrat, Olive Garden has ww pasta. You could always just not eat the bread, sald is ok, CHicken Marsela would be ok.

ray, no I wasnot kidding about the 10 lbs. If I don't get 2 water pills a day, I retain water like crazy. Can't figure out why either.

Beth., I think the incentive approach is a great one. Now you have something to strive for. I know how you feel about not Losing. My meds keep me from losing hardly at all. I work out, eat right and maybe 1 or 2 pounds a month. Very frustrating. Hang in there those new shoes are calling for you.

Sparkle, I like the hot pork skins. Have you tried them? You made good choices at Lone star.

Monet, glad you got to go to the funeral. See you Wed.

Thin, the only exercise I got this weekend was cleaning and ironing and laundry. Not much.

Chrgrl, Wow you are prepared and planning ahead. That is the secret to this WOE. Good job.

Bob, Have you seen the Holiday with Camron Diez? I thought it was cute. Have a nice day off.

I've been here too long, got to get some work done. Have a great OP day!

Good morning everyone!! I've been BUSY crocheting this weekend to add to my Etsy store. I'm attaching a few pics of my little infant hats.

This Saturday at the shop I was totally swamped!! I actually had to shoo away three customers because I couldn't fit them in!! I had about 10 haircuts and a perm!! It was insane! And boy, did I need the money! My little shop, which is about the size of a good size kitchen, costs $175 a MONTH to heat and I'm not even warm! Its awful! Makes me glad we heat our house with oil!!

Anyhow...gotta get something done around here. Its my day off and Derek's gone to Syracuse to work for the company that laid him off for two weeks. They needed is help and we needed the moolah. He'll be home at night, but I am looking forward to a day of eating apples and oranges and watching the Food Channel!!

Morning all!


I am back OP today I celebrated my birthday this weekend. I had a wonderful time I went out downtown for dinner with my DH and a group of close friends Friday night and downtown again yesterday evening with one of my best friends and her daughters which are our Godchildren for dinner. It was a girl's evening out. My birthday was Friday. I had such a wonderful time this weekend I feel so blessed. My neice and her husband had there first child on Friday. (now I have a great nephew who shares my birthday)

So much for all my talking! I hope all of you have a great Op day. I also got the biggest losers dvds I wanted and I might just get that treadmill.

Have a wonderful day!!!

I can't post the pictures because they're too big. Story of my life.

If you go to Etsy.com and type in Miami Dolphins or Buffalo Sabres, you'll come to one of my hats or a sweater. Click on my name Tiny Tuques and you'll see all of them.

Monet: If I'm breaking a rule here, just let me know!! I don't mean to...
