Hope you liked 'em!
 

Evening Ladies and gent!
Sounds like the board is hoping!
Love the pics frog!

Welcome Pooh! I too am PCOS this is a great group to belong to! You need to try Deb's cheese cake! It is awesome!:D

Work is hectic and I have been to Dr's a lot so have not had time to catch up on everything! Still walking; however I will have to stop for the next few weeks but should be able to get back in the swing in March!
11 DAYS UNTIL THE 500!!!!! Can't wait!! I 'm sure it will be cold this year last year wasn't too bad but I expect it to me much cooler at Daytona this year!
Well gotta run everyone hang in there!!
:angel:

Hey All:wave:

Didn't do all that much today, leisurely day out with Eli-ended up in the long run doing the Broward thing-lunch at Ole Ole was delicious!

Today has been a feeding frenzy for me-all SB LEGAL but way too much of it. I'm not looking forward to WIW tomorrow-wish to heck I'd of hid that scale! Being at the top of my cushion doesn't make for a good weigh in tomorrow-I feel heavier, very bloated!:eek: Back to the grindstone tomorrow!

Ordered 2 more cases of agave-the guy at the store says "I thought by now you'd have enough stock!" I told him I thought I had more than I did, and that I've been using it a lot recently, so my stock is going down-a white lie, I guess-been using it, but not to see a dent. Just thought I already had 6 cases.

My pen-pal that lives in Texas (the one I met in Vegas in Aug 2000) e-mailed me today to ask me more about SB. She has diabetes among other ailments and her Dr. said her diabetes is really out of control. She's thinking about doing SB, so I sent her Rissa's site to give her a better outline of this WOE. I hope she decides to follow it, it would really benefit her. I'm thrilled she asked:spin:

Hoping to make it to chat on time, if not, will be there shortly after. Mom wants us to come see her cousin before she leaves to go back home tomorrow. They were suppose to come here, but may want us to go there-depends on the time they get back from dinner-just wanted to mention this just in case I'm not there right at 9:15pm-just start your *****in without me:s:

MUSIC, from the info I got off the web, there's a few ways you can sub. applesauce for oil, but most sites say to use 1/2 applesauce for 1/2 the oil. If a recipe calls for a 1/2 cup of oil, use a 1/4 cup oil and a 1/4 cup of applesauce-another one says you can use one-for-one, and just add in 2 tablespoons of oil, which is basically what I did last night, I didn't exactly measure, but I would guesstimate I did the second one instead of the first option. Next time I make the cake, I'm going to try the second one with measuring the ingredients.

BETH, the SCF agave is just fine. I asked because the Cucamonga brand is older as far as the shelf life. Agave is also delicious on WW pancakes, my kids love it on there cereal, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, stuff like that. I would suggest you try something like the ALMOND GRANOLA, or even the BLUEBERRY BUCKLE recipe. Really, depends on what you are in the mood for-just one warning-don't be like me and have no control after you've made something-it could lead to trouble!!;)

POOH, sounds like you had a great time at your YOGA class. I'd love to go to one and try, but can't find anyone to go with me and really don't fancy going alone-wish we lived closer! Dinner should be the easiest meal to find things to eat-definitely check out the recipe boards. Make something you like and freeze portions that you can easily heat for yourself when DH isn't around and you don't feel like cooking for yourself. If you like quiche, the CRUSTLESS SPINACH QUICHE is wonderful and freezes great!!!

FROG, LOVED THE PICTURES!!!! Yours came out better than mine! Loved the pic of Eli and Me! Have already copied it and sent it off to family and friends:D Loved the pic of you and the REAL FROG! You and Mr FROG look great too!!! See you at chat tonight!

MEL, do we live in a mansion? Are you crazy? 60 people! Can I come-heck, what's one more, huh?:rolleyes:

NASCAR, do I hear excitement in your post???? LOL!!

Off to the kitchen, the house smells wonderful-Eli's making himself some potatoes:eek: made with LOTS of garlic and cilantro-it's really delicious-I know this before SB. I haven't a clue what I'll have for dinner-the way I've been eating today, it should be nil!

See you all at chat tonight!!

Debbie

SB since 3/22/00
Reached goal 6/10/01

Someone Hide My Fridge...
 

OK... at this moment I am VERY glad I don't have a scale. I feel like a blimp.

I know TOM is on the way in the next few days... but geezum crow, I've eaten EVERYTHING in the house that is SB Legal and hasn't eaten me first!!! I swear I've consumed MASSIVE amounts of food today, and I feel like crapola.

No matter what I was doing... I was snacking. I even drank 80 oz of water so far... I ate raw veggies, triscuits, triscuits with cheese, salad, more salad, more veggies, more triscuits, some soy nuts, a few pieces of SF candy, some pickles, some pickled okra (i love that stuff), some chicken liver, some chicken, ... I mean I never quit shoveling it in today. I hope this stops soon.. or I'll be GAINING instead of losing!!!


I'm gonna try to make the chat... supposed to get snow/sleet/icy crap tonight and my cable modem always goes out when we get yucky weather... but I'm gonna try!!! I need some good "STAY OUT OF THE FOOD!" motivation!!!

**Update** I have aquired a bladder infection... again... ( I have them chronically because of something that happened to me when I was having my youngest son... he was HUGE) Anyway... I got meds, but I'm not sure if my body getting an infection had anything to do with my appetite today?? Anyone???

Great Pics!
 

Loved those pics, FROG. Thanks for posting them. I notice your beachwear is a bit on the warm and fuzzy side. That weather better improve by March! I can stay home and wear a big ole sweater.

Deb- NOT a mansion! Though we seem to be surrounded by them. Sure, come on up for dinner! Everybody come visit! But I don't think anything except the naked salad will be legal:o . Those girls love their pasta and desserts. And they're all so gorgeous from working out and having practice 3 hours a day. Heaven help them when they leave university....

Beth- Hang in there! don't eat the counters! I
WANT to have a day like yours, but so far have resisted except for a spoonful of legal peanut butter. But it was only the major accident at the mall entrance that kept me from going in there and finally getting that cinnabon I've been craving for 6 months! I feel really bad that someone probably got hurt to save me from temptation. As usual TOM hit like a ton of bricks and I either want to kill some one or eat the entire bread section of the grocery store. Or both LOL! Go floss and brush your teeth and lock yourself in your room!

Happy Tuesday!
 

Hi you all! Hope everybody is doing well. So sorry that I haven't been on lately. I've just had too many things to finish up. I feel bad leaving you all and ignoring you for the past few days. But you know I'm with each of you in my thoughts. I'll catch you on the chat later.

Take care.
Kim

Marie - I was at the doctor's office today and saw the Feb. issue of Family Fun magazine. There is an article about Disneyworld and I found these websites. If you haven't looked at them yet, they might have some useful info.

Happy hunting!

Hi everyone!

I've been away for a few days so I thought I would post how I was doing. This week I was worried that WIW would result in no loss based on my eating. I didn't realy cheat per se, but I had more carbs than I usually do and not enough veggies, and for some reason I can't get enough coffee lately! I was shocked to see that I have lost around 4 pounds this week so far. :D I can wait to see if the scale says the same tomorrow.

I've fallen a bit behind on the boards here as I have been busy with school, dentist (yuk! getting my crown on tomorrow) and listing items on Ebay. I figured I had better post to let you guys know I was still around.:devil:

I'm still dealing with my never-ending sleep problems. Another reason I was worried about the upcoming WIW was that I have recenty began to eat cereal (kashi in moderate portions) in the middle of the night again. :( Well, I think I'm going to try and eat dinner later in the evening than I have been to try and prevent the night eating.

I have a few questions about some abbreviations I see used in this forum frequently. I have an idea of their meanings but I just wanted some clarification. What do BFL, DH, DS, OP all mean? :) Forgive my ignorance in this matter! lol

Good luck on WIW everyone!

For Daramus
 

Thanks for the info! :)

Just a quickie before hitting the sack. I phoned the court office to-day regarding jury duty and they are willing to postpone it until after my vacation. So I can stop tearing my hair out in frustration. I sure wasn't a very happy camper when I got that letter yesterday. The guy I spoke to was very nice and assured me it shouldn't be a problem.

Deb - I may be calling on you to get me a case of agave if mine doesn't come before my holiday. But it's still a few weeks away so hopefully it will get here before I leave.

Karen - Thanks for the info on the Disney websites. I will certainly check them out.

Darasmus - Congrats on the 4 lb loss. Maybe you weren't eating enough before and increasing the carbs got your metabolism going. Whatever the reason it's a good loss.

Frog - Loved the pictures.

I just got home a short while ago from an evening shift and have to be back at work in the morning. So probably won't have much time to read or post tomorrow. Have badminton tomorrow evening.

Greetings to all.

Nite.

Marie.

22 DAYS TILL REGISTRATION FOR THE WDW HALF MARATHON!!!!

29 DAYS TILL THE FL GALS GET TOGETHER AGAIN WITH MARIE!!!!!!!!!!

Those of you who have been posting for a while will not be surprised at this news........ I'm up another 2.5 lbs. :?: What the heck is my problem??? I haven't been cheating, but I haven't been good at getting my water and fiber in and my body is so darn particular. I'm going to make it a point to be more faithful to post my food in fitday and add to our Food for Thought board here. I know TOM is coming to visit next week and that could be an issue, but geez-o-pete!!! I took my measurements this morning and they haven't gone down at all either. AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I know it HAS to start coming off sometime. I've been walking my toosh off, doing my weight training and following the SB plan - so I will win this - my body is just going to have to realize that! :mad:

I don't have time to post a bunch - but I do want to say FROGGIE thanks for posting the pics!! They turned out well. I really like the one of Deb and Eli. You and Bill look smashing in your beach attire! :lol: I do love the pic of you and Deb after the race with your MEDAL!! I think that's one 'must have' for my motivational wall!

I'll check in later tonight to do the 'personal' postings.

:wave: HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!

WIW
 

UGH- back up 2 pounds. It's TOM so I'm not too worried, and I think the BFL has actually STOPPED my weightloss for a while. I've got biceps like Popeye after the spinach, but still have a belly. Seems all the fat is sliding there. How very attractive. Sure hope this is not my body for life:lol:

Gotta go wake up ds for school-

mel

WIW
 

Not too good this AM up the pound I lost. so back at the original weight. It's raining buckets here today! So that makes things even gloomier!
:(

Deb - ya know I'm excited! It won't be long!

Hope everyone has a better week than me!
