Hi Megan,
Question for you - are the shiritake noodles condiments on the maintenance plan or are they considered condiments on the regular plans as well?
Another question for you - are marshmallows on maintenance? How many? I am looking forward to a few marshmallows in the future now that it is hot chocolate season.

Thanks

Lynn: On the maintenance information that I have (from the colored plans) 1 Large Marshmallow is 1 condiment.

Thanks Amy for the info. I used to use miniature marshmallows so I will have to figure out how many miniatures are comparable to 1 large.

Good Afternoon Ladies. I'm so proud of myself - POP 3 days in a row!!! That's almost unheard of for me. I usually fall off the wagon ever so slightly but not this time. It must be the accountability to all of you. So for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!!

Amy - you are doing so well. Keep up the good work.

Kimberly - you'll get in the 230's before you know it and then you'll wonder why you were so stressed about it!!

Amy - I don't handle stress well. I go from one extreme of eating everything except the cabinets to the other of not eating for days at a time. Hopefully things will begin to calm down for you so that the holiday is enjoyable.

Better look at the top of my desk before I leave here so I'll talk to you all later. Have a POP evening.

My 4th day of golden POPness is going fairly well, although I might have had a bit more guacomole than allowed, but then again I just used a couple of teaspoons.. You get a whole 1/4 of an avocado, so I'm thinking I was OK. They brought in Taco Del Mar for lunch today and I made myself a chicken salad with a little guac on it... tasty.

I am starting to get really hungry on gold, but just need to hold on for a week... I promised myself to do a week on it...I woke up last night to my stomach growling... I'm better today though. This challenge is making me stick with it. Thanks guys, I would have gone down and ate something last night instead of laying in bed and listen to my stomach growling.

I've been POP since Moday, except maybe for dinner tonight. I had my mom's homemade split pea soup which is very healthy and low cal but I have know idea how to count it. I've also managed to get in some excercise this week which is where I really need motivating!

Ternoway, I'm with you on not knowing about dinner. My dinner could have been better, but it definately could have been worse. I had a chicken finger in the oven. It was breaded, so that could have been better, but atleast it wasn't fried from McDonald's. Oh well.. Otherwise it has been a POP day, so I'm satisfied.

Hi everyone,

Sorry I havent been around. Well I have been checking in everyday just not posting. I have been sick for almost two weeks now with the darnest cold. I have been POP for the last 3 days. I go for weigh in tomorrow so hopefully I see a loss. I went on Wednesday and was down 3.2 but I had a gain of 1.9 (cause of TOM) the WI before. It is almost Friday woooohoooooo.... Think POP everyone and Have a great Friday!

Everyone around me is suffering from PMS!
Unfortunately, It is my PMS they are suffering from. I should have known, the uncontrollable cravings, the fantasies about food, the extreme irritation with all things living and not.
I have been horrid! Bloated, gassy, *****y and sad. I cried last night over the littlest thing.
And, have I mentioned that I cannot stop thinking about eating? I have had to stop myself from going the fast food all week.
Well, today is did not stop myself. I couldn't! I kept thinking that if I just let myself have a double cheese burger ($1 at mickie d's) I would stop being a horror. I thought that a few fries would quell the hormonal rage within.
I went to McDonald's drive-thru. I ordered a single hamburger (no cheese) and a a small fries. I sat in an empty parking lot eating my contraband! Huddled over the steering wheel like the wretched soul I have become.
As an consolatory response to my loving being a little thinner I did order a single hamburger (no cheese, mayo ect) and a small fries. I pulled off the top bun and only ate 20 fries. (I counted!) I wadded up the rest and tossed them into a dumpster right away.
My car still smells of fries. My sin follows me like the beating heart in "The tell tale heart" Thump, thump, thump.
I am too embarrassed to write down my "meal". But, I do not feel like killing every person I come in contact with! Sad, but true.
Not POP but still beating. T

LOL Tuesday. Thank God I don't have Fast Food cravings to fight with. My TOM cravings have gone and the weight is coming off.

I was mostly POP yesterday but am counting it. I had to drop my fruit last night because of a medical test I am having done today. Can't have anything but WATER for 6 hours today before this test and they scheduled it for 1:30. What is wrong with these people?

Anyway, 5 Days of POPness for me!!!!

Beginning day 4 of POP. Maybe I'm getting the hang of how to do this. Going to DD's in St. Louis this weekend. NOt too sure about being POP there. She doesn't have the same food stuff in her house and I do at mine. Guess I should stop at the store before I get there and just take my own stuff. Something to think about.

Tuesday - you are just too funny!! That was good and something I think we've all felt and maybe done while eating something completely off plan.

Amy - good luck with you scan today. My prayers are with you for good results.

Cathy - sorry you've been sick. Hope you're feeling better.

Better get busy. I'll be back later.

Hello All and Happy Friday,

Day for of pop and so far so good.

Hi All!,
I'm on my 5th POP day! This usually happens then the weekend comes and all my hard work is down the drain. I don't know what I'm going to do! How do people avoid the temptations on the weekends? Good luck everyone!

BarbaraB - I love that. Golden POPness.

Wow This POPness is really paying off! I was down a total of 3.6 this week! So happy
