Felicia- That sounds yummy! Wrote that one down! Thanks!

Luan- I did, and the gym isn't really in my area...OF COURSE!

Butterflyns - OUCH! I've never done ANYTHING to my eyebrows, and I can only IMAGINE how much that would hurt! What kind of tattoo are you getting? I'm too chicken to get anything! I just read about your ex, and that is so sad. You are a strong woman.

Hi Everyone!

I suck again. If I don't sign on for a couple of days I get so far behind and I never seem to catch up with everyone.

I have been watching your progress Kayley and you are doing great! Congrats!

Also, Felicia, I have checked out your blog a few times. I LOVE IT!!! Did you write the code on that yourself? If you did, I bow before thee!!!!!

Now, I am off to read and see if I can catch up . .. . . . . . . again!

Kayley - that stinks!!!

i am really not looking forward to my weigh in on wednesday. ive been on my TOM all week, and sick. ive been on point all week, except today, where i only ate 14 points. im just not hungry. its only my first real week, but i wanted to have some loss. im sure i have, but with the bloat from water weight... ack. ok. im gonna stop beating myself up and go eat a yogurt and try to squeeze in some more points before bed.

Luan - You are doing great for your first week! : Don't fret too much about the water weight.

So once again, I've only slept about 3 hours. I'm so tired of not being able to sleep, despite taking "sleep aids"! I have English Composition, Spreadsheets, and Psychology today, so I have to take more caffeine. I hate this cycle!

Well, I hope you all got a good night's sleep, and I'll talk to yall later!

So yeah.. I love to exercise but i'm one of those people who likes having someone to workout with.. only problem is i can never find anyone.. either all my friends are those skinny types who can eat a whole pizza and not gain a pound or just don't have the time.

Hello all. Hope everyone is having a positive day!

I'm still trying to get acquainted with everyone...reading the great blogs really helps!

I'm sure you've all shared this many times, but what types of plans are you all following?

I had a very good day yesterday, less than 1,600 calories. Today is going well, too. Here's my food log/plan for today:

B: 1 C Kashi Go Lean, 1/2 C skim milk, 1/2 C 1% cottage cheese, coffee
S: 12 raw almonds
L: 1 low carb wrap with hummus, light cheese spread, cucumbers and cabbage
S: 10 baby carrots
D: enchiladas made with low carb wraps, extra lean ground beef, 1 oz cheese, cabbage, tomatoes, salsa
S: 1 C unsweetened frozen raspberries with 1 carb control yogurt

Have a great day!

Felicia: Don't the low carb recipe books include fat grams and calories? I was looking at some other low carb recipes somewhere and they didn't have those two items either. I do WW so I need those stats to figure out points. Just curious.

Just a quick note while I finish my lunch. I went to the doctor yesterday and things were good. I weighed in on their scale at 340 with clothes on, so I am down from last week's appointment. She checked my records and the only weigh in they had for me under 350 was back in 2002 when I was at 338 and I am now almost back there. My blood pressure was good too - 118/80 which was a pleasant surprise. I will need to wait a few days for the results of the blood tests for cholesterol and sugars. I told her I had been having some knees problems since July and so she also decided to test me for lyme disease. I have been thinking it was my weight, but maybe it is something else. I am so thrilled to have a doctor that doesn't look at all health problems as necessarily weight related.

She was happy with my progress and cleared me for working out at the gym. So I guess I will try and go tonight. I will try the elliptical for a bit and maybe the treadmill too. I think I am going to go ahead and buy an iPod. I have some Xmas money left over and I think it will be great to have to help motivate me while I'm working out.

Felicia - I haven't tried tea, simply for the fact that I HATE the stuff! It's bad to be PICKY and on a diet as well!

Katie - I hear ya about working out with someone. It helps to keep me on track and motivated if I have a workout partner. Not to mention that it doesn't get so tedious! But no one ever wants to work out with me!

NotTheCheat - FANTASTIC!: I can't wait until I go back to the doctor, so that I can brag about the weight I lost...because he kept telling me to lose it, lose it, lose it. It's like easier said than done, pal!

ShadiePurple - Good to see you post! You are doing a great job, and your kids (and neice!) can tell! Woo Hoo! Keep it up, chickie!

I managed to get a nap in today, for about an hour or so. I feel really disoriented and cranky though. Hopefully (key word), I should be able to have an EARLIER night tonight!
