Way to go Debbie!!!!!! You'll be at goal in no time at all!!!

I weigh in on Sunday mornings. I only lost 2 pounds this week....but I'll take it!!!!

I took a couple of free meals this time, one on Saturday and one on Sunday
Saturday:
breakfast: egg and bacon
Lunch: the inside of an meat and cheese burrito
snack: cashews
Dinner: Cheeseburger and fries

Sunday:
breakfast: bacon and 4 oz. v8 juice
Lunch: sauteed shrimp with broccolli, sugar peas, mushrooms, water chestnusts, bamboo shoots
snack: olives, orange
Dinner: Wendy's BLT salad with ranch dressing

Well I am down 3 pounds. With all those treats I didn't know what would happen but I am happy for the lose. I am a slow loser.

Dee, great job!

Debbie, I originally started at 220 pounds. I lost down to 153 last year. Over this past winter, I put on 23 pounds(mostly from stress eating). I've now lost 10 of my Easter goal of 15. After that, I want to lose another 12 by June 21st(DH 30 year reunion).
That will put me at 148 which is about right for me. At that weight, I am a comfortable size 8.

Oh yeah, believe it or not, I actually EXERSIZED over the weekend! OOOOOhhhhh, did I just say the E word???????

You girls are doing SUPER!!!!!!

I feel guilty for not having the time lately to post my dailey menu, but I can not thank you all enough for doing so. It really helps me to see what you are eating to know if I'm on the right track.

Do you guys weigh your portions?? Subtract the fiber count of certain foods from the carb count?

I did not do so great, thought I did, but apparently not.... stayed on plan all week except one day, then I had baked steak, corn, potatoes plus beer. I weighed today and it shows a three pound gain! But I do also know that I am retaining fluid like crazy, I can't get my rings off! So, hopefully I will do more of the water thing and will be right back on track!

Again, everyone is doing a GREAT job!!! You should be so proud!
