Oh goodness, I'm the worst eater ever. I can't even say we had any real "meals" this week. I had a lot of South Beach TV dinners and Lean Cuisine pizzas, as well as Jamba Juice (but you can always make fruit smoothies with low fat or fat free frozen yogurt!)

I have scrambled egg beaters for breakfast every day.

Well, "worst eater" or not, you did well, my friend! Not every week will give you losses such as this, so enjoy!
I sometimes find that after a week when I have a bigger loss, I get more lax and then regain some - but that is just me.
I am going away overnight this weekend and don't expect me to be back on line until Sunday afternoon.

Proud to say I'm 10 days without a binge! It may not seem like much, but considering my history every day is an accomplishment!

I'm not feeling well today, a stomach "bug" of some kind.
One consollation is that I won't be over-eating for sure!
Linda

I hope you're feeling better soon! I had a touch of that last weekend; I think from getting my flu shot.

Made some delicious sweet potatoes tonight topped w/I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray & splenda brown sugar. YUM!

Tomorrow I'm making some 4 point per serving crockpot chili - if it turns out well I can always post the recipe!

My objective for today is to get back on program, drink water and hopefully have a decent weigh in this afternoon. I overate all weekend, but after being sick yesterday, maybe I'll do OK?
Having my daughter's 16th Birthday party here tomorrow, so I'll be doing lots of activity, housecleaning.
It's a half day of school due to a teacher's conference, which just happens to be her birthday, so she can have everyone over for the afternoon.

Finally! My computer went completely frozen and I've been out of touch for forever!!

I've been sick and have only managed to maintain, I think, since I got logged off. Gonna weigh in in the morning to see where I actually am and go from there....

Sunflower--put me on the list for that recipe if it goes OK.
Back soon,
Ipa

Hi guys.... pizza can be a very good thing, but too much can be a bad thing, need I say more?
It was my daughter's birthday party yesterday and my house is FULL of pizza.
I froze 4 of them... we purchased much more than was eaten by all these teenagers. I was surprised that they didn't have more. Now, what ideas do be have about using up leftover pizza and not pigging out on it all at once?
I had some for lunch today and I am not happy with myself.
Maybe I should just toss it, but it's too expensive. Having a huge chest freezer, thankfully, is great when you have something like this. At least I can deal with it, over time.

Down .8 this week. Goal for next week to get to the gym more!

Ipa - the chili was awesome! Here's the recipe

shredded fat free cheddar cheese

brown meat and then add all items from onion through garlic
cook 7 minutes
place in crockpot, stir in beans and tomatoes, cover and cook on low for 4 hours.

1 1/4 cup servings 4 pts.

Way to Go on the .8 lbs!

Once I stop being sick, I'll weigh in again; I've been doing fluids for the past 2 days... Today, at least, is FRIDAY and all I have to do is get through this one day at work [It's a new job and I don't have any sick days yet ]

Thanks for the recipe--have a great weekend!!!

Ipa

Yikes! Sick for days and on fluids and UP 4 pounds to show for it!!!! Decided to give the "Wendie Plan" a try for a week--I'll keep y'all posted on my results!

Ipa

Don't sweat it - you're probably retaining & next week you'll have a big loss!

I binged on Thursday night after my weigh in. Ugh. I'm so mad. But, back OP and day 3 binge-free completed. Here's to another loss this week!

aNYBODY OUT THERE?.....iPA

Ipa - come back to one of the monthly goal threads. There's lots of people there

Hello!!!

How are you doing Ipa?

I had a 1.2 loss this week after .8 last week - but they're all losses I will take whatever I can get and not be frustrated as long as it's a loss. It's a marathon, not a sprint!
