Oh BTW....I at a horribly non-Core meal after the appointment. I hadn't had lunch so that helped a bit but I shall have to be VERY careful for the rest of the week.

TEJAS Hope you have had a wonderful day.
ONTARGET Congrats on the loss. That is wonderful.
VICKIE Congrats on you loss. Hope you get in soon with the new DR. Hubby's toe is looking some better. Now it is awful red. And after he soaks it. Some yucky stuff is coming out. So that is good.
CHER37 Hope you are feeling better.
BEACHBUM I have been struggling for a good while now. Just getting back on track.

Thank you all for your congratulations. I appreciate them--plus, I'd like some more blinks if you don't mind. I am happy about my loss this week, but now I'm wanting to break my old pattern of good loss/gain/give up. I guess the next few weeks will tell the story.

Vickie, I'm glad you're getting some help. Thank goodness for good health insurance. My lunch today wasn't really Core. We ate at Applebee's and I ordered off the WW menu. The only thing I had that wasn't OP was a few chips/salsa. My gf and I did break our chips into pieces before dunking them, so I got several "dips" off the same chips. I made a rhyme!

I'm going to have to be extra careful therest of the week, too. We can do it.

Cher, where did you go tonight? I am impressed you made your son some cookies and didn't nibble. Atta-girl.

Coco, I don't know where summer went. We'll be going to homecoming in a couple of weeks. Time flies.

Whew...I made it through the day almost Core...not easy on a birthday, and I've got to eat some of the cake DH made. Yes, he made a bd cake!

Thank you for all of the good wishes!

We went to this restaurant:

The menu was different from the one that is posted. I had scallops. Delicious. Ok...rest of the week is going to have to be Spartan!

Sandra, congratulations!!!!! Donna, good luck to your DH tomorrow and after. We're all thinking of you. Oh, about migranes: sometimes they are grown out of. One of the few advantages of aging!

Night all,
Rhonda

Sandra, I have the same pattern. Let's break it.

Rhonda, from your lips to God's ears on the migraines!

Rhonda-The avocado soup, fritto misto & lamb kebab combo look REALLY good!
Sandra-Yes I made choc.chip cookies & had 2 w. my son after school. We went to Church for Pioneers/Stockades (girls & boys groups) kick-off night w. games & bonfire. I earned 3 pts running the potato sack/2&3 legged/wheelbarrow races for 50 mins.
Vickie-Wow! A Taste and Smell Disorder Clinic! I didn't even know there was such a thing!! Well, it looks like all bases are being covered - hang in there girl (LOL ...have you tried my ice water glass / cold wet cloth on face trick?

Cheers ladies!

Sounds impressive, doesn't it? I guess the guy has been on Oprah. Apparently, he's also doing weight loss techniques using smell something or other. When he gets a look at me, he'll be begging me to join that! I didn't try the ice water because I haven't had the smell today. Jim opened up the house this morning. I'm not sure if that's what helped. I'm definitely going to try it the next time it happens.

Rhonda, what a wonderful menu. And Doyle baked a cake? I am totally impressed.

Vickie, we can break these cycles. I just know we can.

Cher, you did get in a lot of exercise. Those 2 cookies got worked off tonight for sure.

Good Morning Chicks! I'm meeting with the Painter's Assistant Decorator person this morning. She's going to help me finalize color selection and the window treatments for my kitchen. Then I'll probably buy small sizes of the color to put on the wall to make sure I like them. I'm not sure what I'm cooking for dinner but I'll think of something.

Sandra -- Wow! 6 pounds!!!! Fabulous! Keep it going girl!

Good morning Ladies

I was very happy to get my walking done along the beach,it was cool but wearing a sweater did the trick.

We didn't have to go for Chemo this morning as they called Leo yesterday that the new meds for his treatment hasn't come to the center. So next week it should be in.It worked out fine since his port insertion is still sore and now it has a chance to heal.

Well tomorrow will be my last day on the reg core plan starting on Friday when my new week starts I going to start the Wendie plan,even if my leaders doesn't want me to go over 20 target points I'm going to do so, to get this weight down once and for all.

I'm so depressed right now,I can't seem to post to all of you,hope I get out of this mode by tomorrow and see a lose on the WW meeting Scale.

Donna-If it doesn't work the points way I do the Wendi Plan your way with the volume way. Leo always tells me that subconscious stress is something you can't put a handle on. My stress is Leo cancer & weight loss stress,and Leo thinks its the latter.


SANDRA-Big congrats on your 6lbs weight loss You're doing terrific along with the other gals I'm in a stand still. Wish I knew what I was doing wrong.


COCO-I can't understand I have been eating all the right foods that the core tells us to eat i even have a food journal and I weight & measure and that scale still stands at a stand still. or It even goes up.I don't know what to do next. My DH sys I should cheat and that maybe the scale would go down.


Hugs

Congrats on your weight loss Sandra!

I hope the rest of you lovelies are having a good week. I have been struggling for the past 2 weeks. I was good up until last night when I decided to go to a bar w/ a few friends for a drink, which turned into 4 after the White Sox lost ha I <3 College. I'm starting to get more consistent w/ exercise. I've made a new goal: I want to lose at least 20 pounds before Christmas. It sounds tough so hopefully I can get it done. I think my main problem is going to the bars every weekend. I'm going to stop until my birthday on the 15th and see where I'm at then.

I hope you all have a good core week! <3

Good Morning all:

Maryann, in my view no one should be worrying about posting to everyone individually anytime. It's nice to do, but I know I can't normally and I don't worry about it. Don't you worry either....especially with all that you are going through. I believe that stress just makes that fat hang on. Stress produces "bad" stuff and I really do believe that it is hormonal and the body tries to protect itself in any way it can. I'm hardly an expert but I do believe that the You on a Diet book writes about this.

Focus on taking care of yourself which includes eating well.

Sammi, it takes willpower like crazy, but order club soda with lemon or lime and let your friends pack on the pounds and aggravate their livers

I've got a busy day again...but then DH and I are meeting the friends from BC for dinner at their son's house. But, I'm going to go do the DVD before I go in to the office. I didn't do it yesterday

Have a great Core day everyone...

Rhonda

ps: not only did DH bake a cake, he bought flowers....what a sweetie. (He said he was scared not to )

Hi Everyone
Just wanting for a load of clothes to finish washing.
And was wanting to see if I could find a recipe for iced coffee. Thought I could use my skim milk in it. Anyone have a good recipe. I have some sf raspberry flavoring. I know I will have to count points. But am willing to do that.
BEACHBUM I hear you. In the past when I have been really focused on WW. I had lost 52 lbs. But now I have gained 42 of it back. But I got upset. Because I hit the dreaded platuea. And I just couldnt get over it. Well I guess I could have or would have. But I gave up to easliy. I had walked everyday. Was walking 3 to 5 miles a day. Then I done something to my foot. And I have walked in about 2 years now. And I am really struggling with the weight now. My foot still bothers me. But I have a gazzelle in my basement just waiting on to get on it. Have I yet. Nope. But that is my next goal. Even if it is 5 minutes to start with. And also. Dr Oz's book You on a Diet. And now I am reading Dr. Phils weight loss book. I got alot of good info out of them. So just keep you chin up. The weight will start coming off again. Just hang in there. Sorry I wrote you a book.
I hope everyone else is having a wonderful day.
Got to go check on my washer. I will be back later.
Thinking of everyone.
