Hi Sistas,
Hope everyone has had a good Saturday so far. I got all my chores done that I needed to do. I finally heard from my dr. yesterday that they made an appointment for me with the neurosurgeon for 8/24 - so maybe I'll know something soon. Maybe I can have some kind of surgery to help me stop hurting & be able to move around a lot better. A guy who works with DD told her that his wife had surgery done by this dr. & he was really good. Hope that's true.
Aileen, sometimes no matter what you do you gain, but in the long run, I think it will even out for your. That's what matters. You still did good, ya know.
Just keep going for next week.
Steph I hope you have a good visit with your parents. Has it been a long time since you've seen them? They may notice the weight loss, you never know.
Jill, you are probably already gone, but have a good weekend away from it all.
Amanda, have you ever made the diet soda cake? You use a cake mix & substitute a can of diet soda for the eggs, oil & water. Another way is to use a cake mix & can of diet soda & 1/4 cup of egg beaters for each egg.
And Still another way is to use unsweetened applesauce for the oil. Use the same measure as oil called for. Let us know how it turns out.
Misty, I've never tried the monkey butt flavor of hamburger helper. Is it new? How many points?
HH, have you ever heard of the Wendie Plan of eating? It has something to do with eating like 6 days with low points, then eating a real high day, like 40 to 45 points. You still only use your WPA, only distribute them differently. I think the theory is that your body gets used to only so many points per day, then thinks you are starving. So when you eat a real high point day, then biologically, it thinks "OK, not starving, I can release some of this weight". I wouldn't worry about an occasional high day.
Maggie, PLEASE DON'T QUIT. We need you here.
Crissy, WTG on the lost pound, one less to worry about.
Ok, gotta go, gonna post a recipe for some soup on our recipe thread.
Ta Ta,
