Good Morning Again!
I have a lovely headache and would love to climb back into bed, but I guess I will get some 222's into me.
Got a 5 mile walk in this morning, felt good. Even though we walked a bit yesterday through Mt. Dora, it's not the same as when I walk daily.
I am back down to my lowest while on SB, 139, so I am PRAYING for a bit more of a loss by WIW!!
I hope you all don't mind, but with the task at hand of going through old posts, I am going to not reply to everyone from the weekend, unless it really was an important question. I read the posts though, just don't have time to respond to them all. I will reply to everyone starting today-if you posted something you really need me to answer, please e-mail me with it directly-hope you all understand!!!
FINALLYLOSIN & GLORY, I tried sending you both a mailing I sent the others and it wouldn't go through. Any ideas of what's going on?? :confused:
QUILTER, flying into Tampa and staying where? BIGORANGE & IAMAP are not too far away from there, maybe you could meet! If it's possible to meet half way I'd be game as well if I'm free that weekend! Let us know!
OVERCOME, in the SB Shoppers Guide, it says you can eat PREMIUM TYPES WITH HIGHER FAT & LOWER SUGAR. I'd probably check out BREYERS since they don't put a lot of garbage into their IC.
CHERRI,
WELCOME TO THE BOARD! We'd love for you to join us. The info you read about the percentages on fat, protein & carbs was posted originally by BEACHFAN which she found in an interview with one of the Dr.'s the co-authored the book. Also, if you get the SB SHOPPERS GUIDE, which I do recommend ($3.99 or less), on page 10-11 it states: [b]On Sugar Busters you will generally be eating fort percent (or slightly more)carbohydrates, thirty percent protein, and less than thirty percent fat, only ten percent of which should be saturated fat. These parameters are perfectly healthy and conform to those recommended by the AHA.[b] Hope this info helps! Please let us know what other questions you may have. Thanks for posting your BIO on the BIO BOARD too!
CATHY, if you aren't able to fit the fruit in as suggested, eat it whenever you can. BEACH has done it, and I've had to do it on occasion. They believe it's for better digestion, but if you have no problems with fruit causing you indigestion, go ahead and eat it when you can-and you can have berries, any type, at any time, without trouble - no rules on those! Don't worry about the small loss, trust me, it WILL come. Letting your body adapt to this new WOE may take this past week, and you may really have lost more, but hormones can cause funky things to happen to people's bodies - be patient, and you'll be rewarded!!
JOY, thanks for posting the WIW info-that's a great loss. Hope to be among the losers this week!!
VIV, hope you don't get that snow storm. I would be thrilled to have my work day shortened, you must really love your job! Do utilize your WW info, it will help you with your eating and portion sizes. From what I have read, the decaf green tea is fine. I think you need to drink it soon after making it to get the most benefit from it. You may want to ask BEACH to be sure, she is the one who knows more about GT than I do. I usually don't eat a full fat version if there is a reduced fat-like cheese, cream cheese, yogurt, etc. BUT, I do eat fats! Glad you found the EZEKIEL BREAD, how did you like it?? The sweeteners, esp STEVIA should be where they carry the vitamins, not in the regular area. You should be able to find STEVIA PLUS there.
BIGORANGE, (I think we should rename you to BIGO, or BOB!) Glad you tried the Powerbelt, you'll have to let me know how you like it when you walk with it. I did see QUILTER'S message, lets see what we can work out. I figured out 2 squares of that chocolate has 76 cal, 6 fat, 1.6 sat., 4 carb, 0 fiber, 3 sugar, 0 protein - not bad!! Sharon called and said she had a piece this morning and loved it.
BELINDA, CONGRATS on the 3LB LOSS!! It's true that people have a hard time believing this is a "diet". I never feel like I am missing anything by following this WOE.
IAMAP, thanks for posting that info. I've seen it in the past, but it's good to read it again.
GATOR, congrats on the 2.5lb loss! You must be dancing around the pond.
MELF, is your sister following SB?? I bought 1 bar of the chocolate, though I haven't tried it yet - putting it into my stash. It's easier for me to find these than for BIGO. I must admit, when Narda opened one of those bars, it smelled like I was in HEAVEN!!!!!!!
For anyone interested, the CHOCOLATE BAR we bought is 70% cocoa, was bought at WHOLE FOODS and is by ELREY and was teh GRAN SAMAN. They have a website,
http://www.chocolates-elrey.com (hey, enter for the free chocolate drawing when you get to the site!!).
I'm calling it quits for now-I'll check in with you all later!!!
