NEWBIES: To post a reply, please hit reply and NOT new thread

Oh I love a new month. I'm so hopeing I can do better this month. I'm going to try my best. Tonight I made a taco soup for dinner. It was good but awfully spicey. Next time I'll use 2 cans of mild rotel instead of 1 can orginal and 1 mild. I've just got done ordering Dr. Oz's new book. I watched him on Oprah today. I really do like him. Guess I'll go back to watching CSI. Then its shower time.

Happy Friday!

Nothing new with me. Tomorrow we are going to the race track all day with DH's office. They have a private room this time. I am tyring to be so good. My eating has been great all week. They always have a salad. (note to self, take my own salad dressing). I should be fine. We have to pay for drinks so I will only have 1-2 wines. Exercise has not been great this week. I have just been exhausted and too much to do. Next week should be better. It was 35 this morning and only getting in the low 60's next week. Brrr.......

Toni, I watch Oprah a little last night and saw Dr Oz. I like him also. Let me know how you like his book.

Monet, Poor Kalaeb. That sounds painful. I'm sure you have plenty of beautiful things you can donate. Hope you feel better.

Well, it looks like it is just the 3 of us. I can't get on over the weekends so it will just be the 2 of you. Have a great weekend.

Sugar and Wrinkles! Yep, that's right!
 

Well, I just heard on CNN that here is another reason to not eat that "white stuff" or anything else that has it in it: WRINKLES! That's right!

A recent study conducted by The British Academy of Dermatologists has shown that white sugar when absorbed in the bloodstream attaches to healthy proteins and then makes bad proteins which causes a breakdown of the collagen and elastin that is in our skin! Appropriately, those bad proteins acronym is A.G.E.S.

I still have youthful skin even though I am 54 years old. I am still mistaken for someone ten years younger. If "sanity" won't get me to stop eating that "white stuff" then "vanity" will!!;)

Thought you'all would like to know this extra bit of info that has come down the pike.:D

Not quite new but almost ......

I too hail from Atlanta, Monet!

I do have the sugarbusters book and I have read it a couple of times. I do know someone who did follow the book closely and did lose a lot of weight. Right now, I am using the frame work of the WW Flex Points just to keep me concentrating on portion control. My background is also with the OA Program which as you know has said for years that all that "white stuff" just isn't good for us!

Although there is a part of me that doesn't want to give up sugar "entirely", I will say that I have been eating "brown" for many years(maybe 8 or 9) and I prefer it. I do have some white sugar but only when it is "almost unavoidable". I have cooked with Splenda and I really do like how the recipes I have used have turned out.

Question: what about high fructose corn syrup? It is in all of my whole wheat breads and sometimes listed as the second or third ingredient. I am getting so frustrated with that. I am at the point of resuming baking my own bread so, again, I know what is in it.

I am also doing some research on both the Sonoma and the French Diet which also follows similar guidelines to Sugarbusters. Any comments or suggestions? :^:

Hi Pamatga! My opinion on Sonoma or any other diet is that of course Sugarbusters is the best! :lol: Hope you decide on it and join us! Where are you in Atlanta? I am in Duluth/Peachtree Corners. On the high fructose corn syrup, I avoid it as much as I can. I am a diabetic and HFCS makes my blood sugar spike worse than any other sweetner. I get Nature's Own whole wheat bread, and it is made with brown sugar and not HFCS. I get it at Publix, so I am sure you can find it. I don't even bother with the no sugar one. The regular 100% whole wheat is cheaper and doesn't have the HFCS.

Hello all. I'm cleaning and thought I would take a break. I'm also doing wash so things are flying in this house. I'm trying to start on getting our room ready for the contractor Jerry to work on our room. I don't know what to do with our stuff. But guess that will get figured out.

Welcome pamatega.... Sounds like you're on the right track. Hope you keep coming.

Monet- Bet you're busy today in the garage...

Well better get back. Duty calls ... LOL

O.....M.....G I feel fat, puffy and sluggish. Since my shop started up, I have been, not only living the sedentary life of a mother pig, but have been on an all-out frenzy eating junk food and a boat load of crap that has been making me feel awful. I've gained SO much. I've been eating donuts for breakfast and hot pockets for lunch. I've just been busy and grabbing whatever. Then the onslaught of candy before, during and after halloween. I've been havign heart palpitations and have been wicked tired.

But that all ends today.

Yesterday, I turned 21 for the second time (meaning 21x2=42...21 twice) and had cake and pizza as a last hurrah, finished off the candy in the house and today the changes take place.

Shelley leaves for school in 45 mins. At this time, I'm saddling up the dog and walking with her to the bus stop and then going for a walk through town. Then, today I'm going ot the store to stock up on good food for the salon to keep in the fridge there...or making my lunch here and taking it there. Derek got me a new blender for there to make smoothies for lunch and I'm bringing my ice tea maker to make green tea. I'm taking my vitameatavegemins (remember that from Lucy?) and getting myself BACK ON TRACK. Weight isn't the issue at this point...I just don't like feeling like this anymore!! Bleh!! I just don't want to do anything but be a slug and I hate that.

Okay...off to start the coffee pot and get ready for my walk! Junior will love it too. But, see...I can get up, walk the dog for 45 mins or so after Shelley gets off to school, then get back in time to wake up Kyle for school and take my shower to get ready for work while Kyle eats his breakfast.

Okay...gotta run. Will do replies later.

Happy Monday Ladies,

Boy this day sure comes around quickly any more. IWe had fun at the track. Didn't win any money, but had a good time. I spent the day yesterday, cleaning out my closet. I mean all day. Cleaned out drawers and threw tons of stuff in the Goodwill bag. this morning I didn't have anything to wear.

The metal monster has me down 2 lbs this week. Weekend wasn't great, so I will take it. I'm shooting for more next Monday. I can't beleive I went a whole week w/o weighing. I am normally a daily weigher.

Monet, things will pick up on your etsy site soon. I think people are starting to start their shopping. The malls have been packed.

Toni, Does the remodeling start today? Hope you found a place for everything.

Pamatga, Welcome to our board. I am doing the same as you. Following WW on flex plan and incorporating the SB principles as much as possible. I am giving it another week, and then I am going back to strictly SB. I lost 105 at one point and have gained 30 back. So I know it works. Hope you join our board.

Well I see the followers haven't picked up. That is so sad as we had such a great gorup of people here. I'm sure come Jan, they will be back.

Got to go type a letter. Have a great day.

okay...walked this morning for about 20 mins and actually worked up a sweat! Had two scrambled eggs for breakfast and some strawberries and am having an apple now. Have to go to watertown later and will probably have lunch there. Will make it a salad of some sort.

MMM has me in at 170 :fr: Highest I've been in a very long time. I'll look forward for a nosedive in that number.

Half of my birthday cake is heckling me on the counter. I might have to give it to the neighbor. Well, half of it, anyway...my daughter and hubby made it for me and I wouldn't really want to give it away.

Okay, hubby is ready to leave. Talk with you later!

Happy Monday to you all. I didn't do well over the week end so I'm glad its Monday. Its a really beautiful day out. Waiting for Jerry the contractor to come. He had to take his wife to the dentist so is late today. I still have a ton to do inside before he could work in here. I have no idea where our stuff is going to go when he starts.

Monet- You sure did get allot of stuff done. I hope the glazing turns out good. Your stuff would make such wonderful gifts.

Solly- Jerry still has lots to do outside before he can come inside to work. Congrads and a big woopie for losing the 2lbs.

Tech-Glad you're back on track. I sure haven't been doing well. I've got to buckle down to. I feel so much better when I'm eating right.

Well guess I'll run. I'm hungry and need to find food!!
