Hi everyone.
Betsy, awesome job losing 15 lbs. in one month. That alone deserves some bowl and beater licking and a tasting of the finished product. Ok, this is my faulty thinking at work that we should reward our efforts with food. Maybe the day of not doing yard work is a better reward. Good luck with 8 lbs. this month.
Fi, sorry your knee is giving you so much trouble. Sounds like you had a very active week though. Maybe it was just too much? I hope resting it and using a cane helps to alleviate the pain.
Workinghardatlosing, welcome back and good luck. Staying on the wagon is hard, but possible.
Teena, the whole grain breadcrumbs should work fine for the salmon patties as well as the meatballs. I hope the turn out how you like them. Are the mini quiches the SB recipe? If so, they're good. I always add cheese though because well I have a thing about cheese.
Caldawg, how wonderful that you and your partner have that kind of relationship. My DH and I are soulmates too, but you have described your relationship much more eloquently than I ever could. It does seem rare to find that kind of love in this day and age, but I'm glad you have.
Karencat, , I used to have trouble getting in all my daily points on WW too, and found if I did eat all of them consistently I couldn't lose weight. It probably had more to do with what I was eating than the program itself because I really do like WW. I still track my points online but they are usually far below what I'm allowed. I'm glad to see it is working so well for you.
Well I updated my signature to reflect my weight loss this past week and hoping to be able to change it again next week. Somehow as of yesterday I had gained a pound back but it's gone today. I think it may be because I didn't drink enough water Saturday, or there could just be no reason. It happens.
I have an appt. with my PCP this afternoon. I really don't know what she will say about my weight loss. I'm sure I haven't lost as much in the last three months as she wanted me to but at least I've lost and not gained. I've lost 13 lbs. since the last time I saw her which averages to about a pound a week, so that's not bad. I also figured out how to recalculate my goals on my fitbit last night and figured out that if I'm diligent and keep my calories between 1200 and 1300 a day I could (in theory) reach my goal in two years. by losing 1.5 lbs. per week. That is another 300-400 more calories a day than I've been eating all week, so it sounds doable (again, in theory). Right now I'm motivated so I'm taking advantage of that.
After my appt. I'm going grocery shopping. Tomorrow is the only day all week it isn't supposed to rain so I want to get outside and dig up the flower garden we're going to use for our small vegetable patch. This weekend DH and I want to go get our veggie plants for it so we can plant them when we have a nice day next week.
Gotta finish getting myself together here. I hope you all have a great day!
