Mmmmm, sushi with a big cold Asahi on the side.

drooooooooooooooool.

I think sushi is good or bad depending on your choices. I would worry more about Mercury intake of eating it everyday personally.

*DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL* also! Id rather have a Guiness though.

Im not really going to eat it everyday, but Id love to.

Hi all
Was wondering if I could join you ladies?

Going to start CC tomorrow. Have tried it in the past and at the moment I'm not really commiting myself to one plan and I need focus!!

I'm going to use FitDay. Do you girls watch your protien, carbs and fat as well? I want to make sure I'm getting a balanced diet so I'm going to try but I tried before and it got really complicated at times!!

beach-Yeah ron would be like just keep us here for my son. I just want him to be here you can vote me off or throw me beside the road just keep my son....Now he says everyone else should leave before they suggest him. Like why didnt any of them just stand up to him. It really sucked that cathy left. Yeah there is a lot of twists and turns in this one. ALOT more than the last one. I hope helen does not win because ...yeah just because...LOL


vegas-She doesn't need to smoke and she is in foster care because of incorriagable behavior. She would just do anything everyone else did or wanted her to which is not healthly. We have managed to teach her to be her own person. Which she still follows a lot. She has a leader personality but not much self confidence to go with it. So I really try to work with her in that.

Nicki-Yeah we have had her for 2 years. It is hard when you first get them because a lot of them are not used to structure and some are used to being the parent in the home. So some have a hard time with rules. We originally didnt want teens but there are sooooo many teens that nobody wants. So when we got the call we said ok. Of course we make sure there is no major issues that would hurt our children. Which we have not had any problems. Actually my 2 year old called her my foster dd while she was visiting her mom and she says "you not go with your mom you go upstairs.." Then the first thing she asked when her eyes opened was for her. I am not going to lie it is work and it takes ALOT of love, understanding, and patience. I dont regret doing it but I said to my husband I said if she goes home I dont know if I want to start on another kid again. It takes a lot of work to help them grow. Hes like but your soooo good at it. My heart is to start a home for pregnant teens with no home. I know right now with my kids I do not have the time to put into it so when the time is right I am sure it will happen. I know she misses us and its going to be hard if she goes home. Last weekend she called me before she went to bed to tell me goodnight. Then she called me last night to tell me good night then called me this morning to tell me good morning. I feel bad for her cause shes in a hard spot but I know she will make it....OK I am just blabbering on...LOL



I am not doing so hot on plan those few bad days I had really screwed me up. I am sooo struggling. I still dropped a pound but I HAVE to get on plan. I am determined to lose this weight I just have to DO IT!!!

Ok well have a good day everyone!!!

Hi Ladies

The scale has put me in a 1 lb loss for three days so I'm going to make it official. I'm now 167 again like it was in Jan. So I'm hoping for a 7 lb loss in the next 1 1/2 weeks left of my challenge.

VEGAS-Thanks for the congrats,Hope it continues going down.Yes that has happened to me the other day,Leo thinks my tummy is shrinking and Im don't feel like eating big meals anymore.

NICKIE-Happy that I could help. I usually exercise 5 days a week between 30 45 mins everyday.


MADDIE-Welcome to our thread. We Have a good group will to listen and answer questions to the best of our ability.Good luck on your starting CC tomorrow. I was on so many plans that didn't work and I found that CC is the best. I watch my carbs be case that the food group that I have too much of,and that the reason I use fit day myself.


MOMO-You said it all about that show. Hopefully they go back to basic and not only for rating.


Have a get afternoon I heading for the TV to watch the golf tournament.

Happy Saturday ladies!

Maddie - Welcome! I also think that CC is the best way to lose the weight, and more importantly, keep it off! Its great to have you, and congrats for getting back into the swing of things!

Momo - I hope you didnt think I was saying something along the lines of "she should smoke" or "you should let her" because heck no! Having self-confidance these days are difficult, especially for teen girls. There is so much media BS of you should dress this way, or be this skinny, thats its sad. Congrats on your 1lb. loss! One is better than none! You WILL lose the weight, you can do it!

Beach - Hooray for officially being back! I hope this is the start of continued loss for you. Whip that body back into gear!

Does anyone know when the heck Ill be allowed to have a darn ticker? Grrr.

Nothing much going on with me lately. I have done perfect for the week and scales are still not moving. I think i have hit my platau...grrr I tried lowering my calories and nothing has changed. Im giving it another week at the lower calories and see what happens.I also have changed my weigh day till monday instead of sat.I think I have been eating to much on the weekends.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

dgramie - If you are at a plateau, you certainly lost a GREAT amount before you hit it! Anyhow, I just wanted to say I hit mine (or my first one because who knows whats to come) after about 25lbs. and tried everything. What nudged me out of it was exercising for a full hour instead of my normal 30-40 minutes. After a few days of that I was able to go back to my normal routine.

Hi Ladies

Not feeling well this morning,I think I caught something like Leo had for 2 weeks.I didn't go out with my friends for brunch,as I have a queasy tummy.Didn't eat anything but chicken veggie soup and 2 dry rye toast.Hope Whatever I have doesn't last for 2 weeks cause my DD & the grand kids are coming up here for Spring Break.


VEGAS-I'm not sure when you get to use your ticker.I think you have to be on the board at least one month.I hope that my weight will go down again and that I found my calorie balance,but we'll see in the up coming months.


DGRAMIE-Glad to see you posting again. I sure that the scale will more downward again. I did for me,just by using a smaller section plate[the ones you get from the frozen entrees.] I don't use these plates for heating up,but I use them as a plate to put my stove cooked meals in them. That's my way of weight & measuring my food intake. Just a thought.


Have a great afternoon going to watch the golf tournament.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

I had a bad weekend! I didn't start my CC, I just didn't have the right foods. Sounds like a bad excuse I know but I really hadn't gotten the right foods with CC in mind last week. But today I went and spent way more money then I should have on healthy low cal low fat foods! I'm pumped to start!! I'm going to hit the gym tomorrow morning.

Tonight though I need to plan my meals because if I don't I totally wont stick to a plan!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a great week!

DON'T GET SICK!!! I ended up being sick for a month with the zombie death flu it is NOT FUN!!!

Been doing better, still haven't gotten to work out but I should be able to tonight or tomorrow.

I totally forgot to eat after lunch yesterday. OOPS! Well I was down a pound for it. Ah well. I'll be good today and actually eat. Geeze.

Good Morning Ladies

Its official I lost 1 lb at my W-I this morning. Now I have to see if I can get out of the 160's.Seven[7]pounds to lose,but it not going to be easy,have to continue eating off the tiny plates along with my zig zaging my calories day to day,it might be doable.

MADDIE-I don't understand why you had to go out and buy all those low calorie foods. Other than CC I think that portion control is the key also.Not suggesting that your eat high calorie or high fats foods,but hope that you bought the foods that you like to eat,and not depriving yourself in reg foods.Good Luck on your new venture of CC.Did you check the sticky above how to start the CC challenge.Over 200 lbs you should start with 1800 calories. Have any questions be free to post.


PRINNY-Glad that your getting better each day.and that you'll be able to get back to your exercising routine BIG CONGRATS on your 1 lb loss..


Will be back later

beachbum: no nothing like that. I love all the foods I have but I didn't have much food on sat and what I had wasn't the best. cheese, bread. things like that. thanks I'll read that sticky!

punkermom- I lost really great until nov...it took me 4 months to lose 10lbs and now its like i cant get to the 90lb mark.
I am going to increase my exercise this week. I did increase it last week also.
I drink 128 ounces of water a day...
I am eating 1300-1400 calories per day( a decrease of 100 calories per day) my dr recomended it but he said to decrease to 1200. I am not ready to do that yet!!
beachbum- i already eat off of a salad plate. How do you get your calories in if your eating off such a small plate.
The only thing i have been doing different is I have a new additction...frozen grapes..i have been eating a cup of them in the evenings as snack(70 calories) but i have not been eating any protien with them..do you think that might help?? someone once told me you had to balance carbs with protien.
any ideas?? I know on the ZONE diet you had to balance everything even snacks..

Beach - Congrats on the weight loss & I hope you're feeling better. Ive always wanted to try the whole zig-zag thing, but havent gotten up the guts to try it yet. Right nowim figuring, if its not broken, lets not mess with it.

Maddie - Glad you got all the foods you need to get started. It'll get easier, and become natural for you to CC.

Prinny - I have a VERY hard time eating breakfast. Ive never been much of a morning eater to begin with (except when pregnant) and now Im still not hungry until about 11. I have to force myself. :/

Dgramie - Wow! You're hardcore woman! I couldnt drink that much water if you paid me! Awesome, but it shows in your weight loss, thats for sure.

As for me, Ive been very lazy!! Im totally OP as far as eating, and oddly enough, Ive been even less hungry than usual. Not sure what the deal with that is. I need to get up off my behind & exercise today!

On an amazing note, yesterday at Walmart they had clearance clothes for $1. Ive been too scared to buy anything in my goal size thus far, but it being only $1, I bought 2 pair of workout pants, a pair of stretch dress pants (Size Med. 7/9) and a shirt (Size Med. 7/9). I also bought some things for the kids! When I got home & put the clothes away, I decided to try on the medium stuff for giggles. HOLY HECK they FIT!!!!!!! Now I dont feel comfortable to rock these medium clothes out anywhere yet, but another 10lbs. or so, and I KNOW they'll be perfect. I officially fit into my goal size. Im SHOCKED!!
