  • Quote: Amelia my sandwich only came to 215 calories. I don't know why I thought I was gonna make two servings of peanut butter LOL.

    OK time to finish the laundry, BBL
    That reminds me to put pb2 on the shopping list, were suppose to go into town this weekend. Have you tried the chocolate one yet? MMM, i love apple jelly...good choice


    Lori-Glad everything is looking better for you! high fives on the shopping more hugs sent your way...

    Hello to everyone
  • I like the idea of PB2 from a weightloss stand point, but as the mother of 2 children with peanut allergies, everytime I see it mentioned it kinda freaks me out. I could never have some in the house, because I would be so worried about a cross contamination reaction.
  • Jiggle, You're doing great. Do you plan to get on the scale at anytime. I know you said you only do sizes. But don't you wonder how much you've lost? I don't know what's going on with my measurements (I haven't officially taken any) but it seems that what I lose is going to my belly. I really think I have a constant bloat.

    Hi Envelope, probably because you are busy, busy, busy. I think it will be the same for me the first two weeks of school, just trying to get back into the routine of things. Got a call from the PTO President this morning so it's starting . Is it quakes or Quaker? I eat the Quaker Rice cakes, they are very good. I tried an off brand once, that was a true waste of money

    Lori, SUPER BIG HUG TO YOU! I'm happy you are happy and I'm happy that you had a great day. Tears are good sometimes, especially when they are happy tears.

    Amelia, I'm scared I will mix most of the jar up at once. I love peanut butter, but I am wild about peanut butter and chocolate. I can eat a bag of Reece's cups . My kids didn't believe me, I bought a bag and literally had to put the last 6 up for later. They aren't fond of them so halloween is a (was a) special time for me. I won't be doing that this year. They'll have to toss the chocolate's they don't like. Oh and I recalulated for the last time thanks to fatsecret, my sandwich with 2 slices whole wheat, 1/2 tbsp apple jelly and 1 serving of PB2 is only 190 calories <--- that is exactly 2 tbsps of Jiff peanut butter. Hooray for me.
  • Wow Envelope, I'm sure.
  • Hi everyone!
    Had a great workout today and did some swim laps. Now I'm ready for a nap. Looks like we got some rain coming our way next week so looks like my gym at home may be my workout it just depends what time the Tstorms get here. They close the pool when the storms are in the area. Hope it doesnt get too bad, we need the rain but I love our pool in Longview Texas. Everyone says they see me losing inches but I cant tell. All I know ive lost 17 lbs since Feb 1st. Havent counted my calories yet for the day will have to post later tonight after hubby and I eat dinner.

    Lori i'm very glad and happy all is well with you today. Hope the pills help you, will be pray that they will.

    have a good evening

  • Chicks- Thanks to you all for the birthday wishes. I'm not doing anything tomorrow, which is my birthday. That's strange, I'm celebrating on Sunday cause then my husband can go along to the Japanese buffet w/ my family, he has off.

    Did good today, had 1335 cal. Only lost 1 ounce, I think I've been eating to close to my maintenance calorie amount( 1500) for the past 3 days, so I'm losing real slow. Today's calories were lower, maybe that will help. At this rate I'm not going to make it to 105lbs. by my birthday like I wanted. If I do, I'm afraid I might overeat, I have this stupid idea in my head that it's my birthday so i can indulge in whatever i want. I will alone most of the day, that could be trouble, I'll go out somewhere if it will help to control it. I am working on my poor control issues yet, so I'm far from out of the woods. Good luck to us all!
  • Happy Birthday Fruitlady
  • Fruitlady!! Make this weekend a great time of celebration of you and all you have accomplished since your last birthday!!!
    Bigmama - Congrats on your loss. Sometimes it's harder to see the changes in your body. But it will come a time that you will see them.
    Love2b - Every once in a while I wonder but it passes because I come on here and see someone weighing daily and they see a gain or a stall and it makes me glad I measure. The reason I didn't start out weighing is because it makes me obsessive and no loss would be too frustrating but a gain would have been hard to deal with.
    Lori - How are you feeling today? I hope you are feeling GREAT!!
    Misspriss - You have been doing really good with your workouts and stuff so do you have some progress pics? You should be showing some awesome results!!

    Well I'm feeling wonderful today. I got up and measured this morning. I lost an inch in my waist, 1/2 inch in the larger part of my stomach and an inch in my hips. I didn't loose anything in my breast but that's cool. I told my hubby when I get to a size 14 I would start measuring. We will see how I feel about it when I get there next week!! A while back I told you guys about a two pair of 14 jeans I have. One is larger than the other one. The larger one I fit but I said I would consider myself a 14 until I could wear the smaller one because it's much smaller. I tried the smaller one on yesterday and they fit but I have too much of a muffin top for my liking. We will see what it looks like on Labor Day!! I want to be able to wear them in public and not look like I'm trying to wear my niece's jeans.
  • Love2b - The mini rice cakes from quaker are now called quakes. I am not sure if they changed the name of the large ones. I can not keep the cheesy ones in the house, because I could eat the entire bag of them.

    Fruitlady Have a great time on your birthday, you deserve to treat yourself to a happy healthy day on your birthday. Maybe you could go for a nice casual walk if you start to fill tempted.

    WTG Jigglefree I need to get myself a flexible tape measure so I can start measuring. Those smaller jeans will be fitting great soon. I have a pair of Capri jeans that I would love to wear on Labor Day, but I am not sure that will be happening. They will be getting close though!

    My weight is starting to come back down a bit, I have already drank some water, and I am about to go for a jog. It is a new day!

    I have to brag on my husband. He and my son go to breakfast 1 time a weekend with a friend and his son, lately since I have been running he has been taking my daughters so I can go do C25K with out having to keep an eye on my girls while tring to jog. He tried to start C25K when he found out I was doing it, but his knee started hurting pretty bad, so lately he has been getting up and hopping on our elyptical. I am really proud of him.
  • Hi Ladies! SO, I joined a gym this morning. I am feeling pretty good about it. I have already done a few of the classes which were a blast. It will be nice to shake things up and not always be on my treadmill. I find that I also really like lifting weights (even though I am a complete weakling).

    Tonight is my neighborhood block party and soccer is into full swing. So, I am going to be one busy mommy today.

    Have a great weekend.

    Well, this is week 6 on plan and I've only lost about 4lbs. But i've been losing inches, I did take a pic back in June that shows my legs and then (in the same outfit) about a week ago. I just hate showing my legs on an open forum there not a pretty sight

    I've got a tan in the second one but i can see a slight difference in my thighs...more tone.

    I want to get back into running agian so maybe that will help boost my metabolism a bit, the only thing is...that when i run i can get really hungry so i have to make sure i eat a lot of protein/complex carbs throughout the day so i don't sabotage myself

    BTW- on your inches loss...that is so AWESOME Jiggle!!!
