MeRoMo 01-19-2004 10:30 AM

I'm here! :)

So today is really nasty out, but I will get a good workout shoveling out the driveway when I get home!!

I'm working on my first 1.5L of water...how about everyone else? Doing good?

Weigh-in is on Wed....and I'm not so sure how I did, only time will tell

Trixi 01-19-2004 05:57 PM

I am just leaving work...had a good day behaved myself and drank my water....only one coffee today! I will post more this evening. I hope everyone finds us.

Hockeychic 01-19-2004 07:05 PM

Hi everyone, just checking in to let you all know I found ya. Busy night so I am just doing a little recipe investigating then gotta go. Have agreat day everyone

cat90 01-19-2004 09:08 PM

Hi Girls & Glen ;) Thanks for the Welcome.

Trixi, I already use the lemon and lime trick and its the only way that i can drink it :lol: i even have it hot with lemon in the morning if i feel too cold to drink cold water :)

I've been out shopping so i've only had one bottle of water today while i treadmilled but i'll do better tomorrow..i don't want to start drinking too much of it now as i will spend most of the night visiting the 'can' and i do that enough already :rolleyes: While i was at Walmart i found the Kinetix range of shakes and bars so i bought two boxes of the bars to try..they are only small but i had one of the peanut choc ones earlier and it was'nt bad at all..could'nt find any peanuts in it tho' :lol: funny how the pic on the box always looks better than the actual thing.

Trixi 01-19-2004 09:36 PM

Cat: thats great about the water. Today was my first official day back on my program. Last week I weighed myself...for motivation. I knew had I gained in the last little while but when I got on the scale I found I had gained 17 pounds since the last time I was on a diet. Man I got depressed and I immediately logged on here. Didn't do much for the last week (but the water) as today was going to be my start date. But when I woke up this morning and got on the scale (buck naked) I had already dropped 6 of those pounds! I dont know why or how it happped but Ill take it!

Today I drank all my water went to the ladies room every 20 minutes but siiting here at the end of the day knowing that I have done everything I set out to do this morning and I feel great! Work was really busy (five meetings overall) came home cooked hamburgers for the family and fish for me (saved some for my lunch tomorrow) did the dishes, put the laundry away, helped daughter with homework (she had tons) and showered and now I can sit here and relax!

All in all, I had a great day and hope you all have had one as well. My goal this week is to continue getting use to the eating (good foods) and not having any alcohal and next week my goal will be to start incorporating exercise into my daily routine (Zanne: Never got a chance to go to the library this weekend).

Hockeychic : Hope you found a recipe worth trying!

MeRoMo: Finish shoveling yet? I am lucky its the one chore I can actually get hubby to do! Though might be good if I tried it once on awhile seems like a good workout.

Night all!

cat90 01-19-2004 10:34 PM

Well Done Trixi :bravo: a 6lbs loss is fantastic :D

MeRoMo 01-20-2004 08:17 AM

G'Morning everyone!

Shoveling is not fun!!! I'm hoping that's the last of the snow...(yeah right!) I did really well with my water this week, and I'm really hoping for a loss this week but I just don't feel any different, so I'm not sure how it'll be. I tend to eat everything is site when its that T.O.M. (sorry Glen, I'm sure you didn't really need to hear that :) ) so that's my excuse for the week, NOT that its really an excuse...but oh well! D-Day is tomorrow...I'm really not looking forward to it but who knows, maybe I'll suprise myself! One thing tho, with all the water I've been drinking, my face looks so much more clear then it did before....so I guess thats a good thing...not as good as a loss, but we'll see.

The sun is finally shining so I may go for a walk after work today, if its not to cold..burrr :)

Cheers,

M.

Trixi 01-20-2004 03:33 PM

I am at work so just quick note to say hi everyone! Will check in later.

me don't worry about mentioning tommy.
:) glen

Trixi 01-20-2004 07:36 PM

Day 2: I did really well today, drank all my water and the only problem I had was I was realy hungry this morning (which is great because I never want to eat breakfast) When I got to work I remembered I was supposed to go to lunch with a co worker that is leaving the firm the this week. So I ate my lunch for brakfast (small peice of fish and cauliflower) at 11:00 and check this out... I went to a restaurant with a great Italian menu (one of my faves) and I ordered the grilled salmon (with no sauce...sniff) and when it came it had vegatables covered in oil and rice (no oil no rice allowed!) I was so strong I pushed it all away to the edge of my plate and only ate the salmon! Very proud of myself!

I had a horrible day otherwise...Why does it seem that all the not so smart person call me in one day? I just dont get it but I was really bugged today by both clients and co workers. Usually atfer a day like this I really want to sit and relax with a beer (okay six beers) but I fought the urge and at this moment I am having a very relaxing tea and still preparing dinner. All in all It was a good day for the plan and I can cope with the rest as long as I don't have to add the guilt for cheating (cause I didn't)

I hope everyone had a great day!

Hefti: Thats very inderstanding and very unguy like (thank you)

MeRoMo: Hope otday was better for you and no more snow...did you make it for your walk?

cat90 01-20-2004 11:43 PM

Hi Buddies :wave:

Trixi, you're an :angel: i would have hated to leave food that i'd paid good money for :lol: mind you i could have left that because i did'nt like any of it including the salmon :lol: i'm a very picky (and plain) eater. I've had two excellent days apart from not drinking water :rolleyes: i had to go out today and that always mucks up my water consumption and if i'm going out i don't like to drink it anyway because i'm constantly looking for a washroom :lol: tomorrow i'm staying home so i'll make sure i drink my quota ;)

MeRoMo 01-21-2004 08:02 AM

G'Morning everyone!

WOW...is all that I can say! Today I lost 4.4 which brings my total to 11.6!! AND I got the 10lb ribbon from WW (everyone was clapping for me :)...I'm such a ham)

I am so suprised! I thought for sure that I had gained a pound (or two...) So yeah, today is wonderful!

Trixi: I didn't get out for my walk but I chased my baby brother around the house for a few hours so I think that should count for something :)

Cheers,

M.

Trixi 01-21-2004 09:07 AM

MeRoMo,

Congratulations!!!!! thats wonderful. Its great when its a surprise and keeps you motivated! Your doing a great job. I agree chasing children can be quite the work out. Walking would probably have been more relaxing. My weigh in is on Monday and I dont think it will be that great but any loss will do thankyouverymuch.

Cat: I am glad I like to eat fish or else I would be stuck with just egg whites and chicken for my protein. (BORING).

I am at work now but I hope everyone has a great day! Will post more this evening.

hefty1 01-21-2004 12:18 PM

:wave: where is smart cookie? maybe she crumbled.
MeRoMo :grouphug: for the loss.
trixi hope you have better day today
zane the :cb: are coming to look for you
have a :cbg: free day.
cat is that your youger picture? :) glen

cat90 01-21-2004 05:50 PM

:lol: Glen that is my grand-daughter :lol: i don't know if smart cookie crumbled or not :?: i was wondering what happened to her too.

MeRoMo, Great Job :bravo: what a fantastic surprise :D

Trixi, egg whites :p why do they always have to take the best part away for it to be good for you :mad: its beef or ham for me all the way and whole eggs :lol: don't care much for chicken, turkey or egg whites :( rarely eat fish too..i'm one of those people who when finds a dish that they like will gladly eat it everyday :rofl:

Trixi 01-21-2004 08:15 PM

Glen, I am not sure where smartcookie is but I would like to thank her for starting this thread. Too bad she didn't stick around.

Cat I know what you mean about finding a meal and sticking to it but unfortunately the one thing I could eat everyday for the rest of my life is Fries and Gravy (not allowed ....sniff) Eggs whites are not the greatest, the yolk it the tasty part. The only good thing about using eggs whites for my portein is I can have six of them (I do use a little butter) for one protein and I usually put mushrooms in it and make an omlet.

Today for lunch I had Broccoli, mushrooms and 3 1/2 oz of last nigts roast (leanest and dryest part I might add) Oh yeah and for breakfast I had a whole tomatoe. For dinner it was fish in totamoes and cauliflower. It wasn't so bad. Drank all my water today and now I am having a tea. This is kinda of becoming my routine. Usually by now I would be sitting on the couch watching nothing and having my fourth beer. Everytime I think about that I get depressed again. So glad I am finally doing something about it. Beer has always been a relaxing thing for me and now I have replaced it with tea and there is no way I could drink six teas or I would never sleep so I go back to water about 1/2 hours before bed. (do wake up to you now what though)

I do have to admit I am having a hard time today. My bosses were out of the office and everyone was constantly bugging me. I work till six but today I took off at four because I couldn't cope without blowing up at somebody. I really wanted a drink and was very cranky. I got into a huge argument with my fiance and had to aplogize (that hardly ever happens :) ) because I know it was because of getting use to this diet. But oh well If I can't vent on him who can I vent on. He's the only person I know who will take it! Have a great evening everyone! I think I go on chat for a little bit. The people there are really friendly and I having been logging on about the sametime every night if you ever want to join me.

Trixi

MeRoMo 01-22-2004 07:49 AM

Trixi, I know what you mean! I would have a white russian EVERY night, just one, but its still too much for me now. I would get home from work, clean up a bit, make supper and have my tasty treat. But like you said, now its water. It's not as hard as it was when I first started. I was having a really hard time drinking all of my water, but now I'm usually finished what I'm "supposed" to drink by late morning.

I think that seeing the actual results of my diet and WW has made it easier to resist all the yummy, sweet, tasty treat....what was I saying again :) Seriously though, last night we went to McD's and I had a chicken sandwich on a whole wheat bun and a salad and was fine with it (I did steal ONE of my friends fries tho....)

And being able to come here everyday and vent to you guys has helped so much! Thank you all!!!

Cheers,

M.

Trixi 01-22-2004 09:27 AM

Well I made it through the night, At work now and its chicken breast (no skin)and cauliflower for lunch and bet you cant just whats for dinner? FISH...big surprise. Stopping at just one fry is truly a feat that I would not be able to do. Good for you MeRoMo.

I am having my last coffee of the day and then will begin on the water with lime until my tea this evening. Next week I am really going to incorporate some sort of exercise. Still dont know what yet. Though.

Trixi

Zanne 01-22-2004 04:23 PM

I found you!
 
Hey Everybody!

I'm not here for a couple days, the thread gets moved and is long! ;)

Welcome CAT!
Hello TRIXI, MEROMO AND HEFTY!

HOCKEYCHIC--haven't seen your name here either. How are you doing?

I'm sorry, I don't have time just now to read what you all have been talking about. I've been away for so long, I thought I'd better get my sorry butt back here to be accountable.

I haven't got into the Kinetix just yet. I'm having a hard time figuring out "k-counts" (I guess kinda like WW points). They have recipes with the counts already figured out, but not for things I may want to eat. I've tried some dip recipes and I just can't get around the texture of the cottage cheese. You're not supposed to eat fruit alone, but have a dip with it for protein and fat. I cannot get the dip past my lips. I tried, but NO way :nono: I'm gonna have to email them to see if I can just eat a piece of cheese and have my fruit. The veggie dip is the same--with cottage cheese. What's wrong with low fat sour cream and onion soup mix? :?: I like eating veggies and dip, but NOT Kinetix dip!

I had an eye opening moment today. And not a good one :( I had to buy BIGGER jeans today. And it's terrible trying them on. They're all sized differently, even when from the same manufacturer (only dif was the inseam on one style--same size waist and one pair was a bit bigger than the other!). I ranged in 3 different sizes from the one manufacturer! Oh well, I have them now, didn't spend a lot on them, so won't feel too bad when they get too BIG and I have to give them away!

I have been doing good with my water, but I have been really BAD getting in breakfast. I've dropped DS at school and then have been out shopping and don't get home till nearly lunch time. NOT a good thing. I can tell my blood sugar is low. Then I eat something bad, spike the blood sugar and then crash. I even have the shake mix cannisters on the counter! I MUST drink a shake every morning BEFORE taking DS to school. That has to be a personal challenge.

Ok, I have to get going. I'll try to catch up on all you're wonderful posts tonight.


:wave:

cat90 01-22-2004 05:09 PM

Hi Girls :wave:

Susanne, i really like the kinetix range ;) i'm not following their plan but i am having the bars and shakes as snacks and they really do curb my appetite :D i'm eating much smaller meals now.

Trixi, i'm saving the beers until weekends now..i used to relax in front of the telly every night and have 2 or 3 (more at weekends) but i've decided that its 2-300 extra cals that i can use on something else :hun: and i have'nt missed not having any this week :cp: so i hope it works..plus..i find that when i do have some beers it triggers a munchie attack :yikes: and i start looking for chips..peanuts etc...weigh in for me tomorrow :hyper: keep your fingers :crossed:

cat90 01-22-2004 05:11 PM

oops :o sorry Glen ;) Hiya Glen :wave:

helpneeded 01-22-2004 07:21 PM

Hi Everyone,

I'm a student from the University of Toronto and I was wondering if you didn't mind another Canuck joining in...I'm currently going to Herbal Magic and it seems to be working really well...its basically a low carb high protein with supplements diet. I blame the frigid weather for making me want to eat serious comfort foods that are not good for you and I don't know about you ladies but no matter how cold it gets I could still eat ice cream. I think that it would be great if we could all motivate each other and the best part is that we can all relate to what's going on in this neck of the woods. I'm cheering for you all!!!

Trixi 01-22-2004 07:44 PM

Welcome helpneeded!!!!!!!! The more the merrier!!! Life at University is not only stressful but you have to deal with the weather as well. Man there was alot of wind today!. I am not a fan of sweets but my comfort food is just as bad...The worst I do is in the afternoon after shopping or laundry on the weekend I want a nap and to get me tired enough to have one I used to have a homemade hamburger (huge) and fries with gravy...oh yeah had a beer with it and then went to sleep (Its a miracle I dont weigh more) But no more for me!

Zanne we missed you!!! Dont worry about the jeans I haven't been able to squeeze myself into any in two years! I have a pair I saved and one of my goals is to get in them again. Cottage Chesse!!!! uck! glad I am not allowed to have it!

Cat Good luck with the weigh in tomorrow hope you will be as sucessfull as MeRoMo was...but if not there's always next week :)

Glen how are you doing with the veggies?

Hockychic we miss you too.....come back to us (did you run off with smartcookie?)

Today was actually a good day for me....no headache and I drank most of my water, saving some for tonight. I have these strips that I bought at the drug store that test your urine to see of your burning fat (keytones) and I was! After only fours days thats pretty good...so I am glad! I had my chicken for lunch and it was actually good. I got a spice I know I am allowed and it made a huge difference to the tatse. I had someone ask me today if I lost weight but I think it was just the outfit I was wearing...but I'll take it ;).

Hope you all have a great night and talk to you tomorrow.

cat90 01-22-2004 09:28 PM

Hiya Helpneeded :wave: glad to have you with us :D

Trixi, just what plan are you on? i'm just curious :nose: because you say that you can't have this and that :lol: are you doing Atkins? I let myself have anything but in moderation ;)

Cya tomorrow for the weigh-in :yikes:

Trixi 01-22-2004 10:19 PM

The only thing that I found that really works for me is if I give up all the bad carbs (bread, pasta, rice and potatoes) and only eat lots of good carbs. Mostly I eat as many vegatables as I want (except peas, corn, and carrots) and for protein I have fish or chicken and (beef once a week). I do use butter so that I will have fat in my diet as well and eat salmon. I drinks lots of water and take potassium and b5, b12 and a multi vitamin. I did try Atkins but felt really guity for eating all that fat. I have also cut down on caffine. My body hates fruits, I am allowed them but they make me really hungry and crampy so i stay away from them. There are tons of stuff I am allowed but also in moderation. I am staying away from dairy for now (except for the cream in my decafe. Cant give that up) I know it sounds like I cant have anything but mostly I am just missing stuff I want and crave and I like to complain :) alot. I actually find myself eating more now than when I wasn't on a plan. I usually didnt eat until supper and then I pretty much gorged myself until I couldn't move off the couch. In just four days I have a bigger appetite and I have more engery. Once I lose a good portion of the weight and have exercise in my daily routine I will incorporate carbs back into my diet slowly...things like whole wheat pasta (man that will taste like heaven and sweet potatoes etc. I have to keep convincing myself that its a life change and not just something to do until the weight comes off cause I do not want it back.

I hope you have a great weigh in tomorrow and the scary face will be a happy one! I am rooting for ya!

MeRoMo 01-23-2004 07:56 AM

G'Morning all you wonderful people :)

I did the worst diet no-no....I ate an entire DONAIR!!! That is sooo going to put me back a few days :( I guess I'll have to be especially good for the rest of the week!! It was so good as I was eating it but as soon as I finished I felt so guilty, so I guess the guilt part was good.

My goal this week is to loose at least 2 pounds, I know I've lots more than that in my last two weigh ins, but I think I'll be lucky to get that this week.

How is everyone else doing?

Cheers,

M.

Trixi 01-23-2004 09:27 AM

Just a quick note as I am at work now. MeRoMo, everyone falls alittle, don't worry about it I dont thinkit will set you back days...Just just extra water today and be "good" the rest of the week. Sometimes we need to give in to the craving or will could plague us for days. Have a great day all. I know I will cause it's Friday!!!! My favorite day.

Trixi

cat90 01-23-2004 02:37 PM

Hi Everyone :wave:

M, don't worry about it..it was one thing its not liked you binged all day ;) and we all need a treat now and again..i don't think it will set you back that much if at all :D

Trixi, TGIF :lol: hey i can have a beer tonight if i want :chin: but i'm going to a party tomorrow night so i might save them up for then :D

Weighed in with a 3lbs loss this week :cheer: i am so happy that i'm starting to see results :cp: Have a Great Weekend!

helpneeded 01-23-2004 02:59 PM

Hi Everybody...Thanks for being so welcoming.

Trixi as soon as you mentioned beer my mouth was already watering, I haven't had a beer in probably 6 months and being Irish Canadian its one of my favourite things. School is super stressful but its really only when I start to do all my readings that I get munchy. Plus, my social life has taken a hit this last year since I've been on a strict diet I can't go out and party with my friends really cause it mostly involved alot of drinking and eating. But I figure its worth being on a social dive for hopefully only another 5-6months for the chance to be healthy. I have already lost 60lbs and I have approx. 50lbs to go. But I must confess my motivation was low around christmas when there was so much food. But I'm back on track now.

How much does everyone else want to lose??

It's so comforting to know that there are other people who are battling the bulge and don't have the metabolism's of some of my friends that can eat and drink whenever they want.

Hope everyone has a great day!

cat90 01-23-2004 03:50 PM

HN, i would like to lose about 30lbs :D i think i'd feel 'comfortable' at that weight although i was 115lbs in my thirties :cb: i can't imagine being that small now :eek: i still have some of the clothes that i wore and when i look at them they look so tiny!

I fell off the wagon at christmas too :rolleyes: but i'm back on it now and intend to stay on it :D You have lost a lot of weight already :cp: Well Done!

hefty1 01-23-2004 08:25 PM

hi everyone
welcome back zane.
the veggies are getting better. tomorrow i am making a stew with lots of veggies.
trixi: i am having a beer
cathy she is cute
:) glen

cat90 01-23-2004 08:50 PM

Hi Glen :wave: thanks ;) i think she's cute too but then i'm her Gran :lol:
hey, i'm having a beer too :o

Zanne 01-23-2004 09:00 PM

Good Evening People!
 
Glad to see the board is hopping!

Well, my goal is to lose about 40 lbs. Or at least a lot of FAT! If I gain a bit of muscle, that's ok--it may be heavier but takes up less room and BURNS fat! I want to be a comfortable size 11/12.

Well, I have some incentive to get my fat rear in gear. We're going to a Valentines day dinner/dance and I need to lose some poundage to fit into something I own. I REFUSE to buy any more big clothes. I'm getting some meal plans worked out, I know the workout routine, so I just have to DO IT!

I was very BAD today. Our Loblaws had Krispy Creams and of course I had to buy a dozen. I've eaten four of those things today! I actually feel kinda light headed. I can tell when I've had too much sugar--I can feel it spike and then I get tired. I have to treat my body nicer. I've been eating a whole heck of a lot of crap lately. I have a terrible rash and I thought it was from my skin drying out from the cold, but now I'm thinking maybe it's the toxins "coming out". I just chopped up some celery and I've got precut veggies to add to it so I can have a healthy snack later.

GLEN--I've made a veggie soup before using frozen mixed veggies (cauliflower, broccoli and carrots--I think it's called California mix). It also had shredded cabbage (you can use the premade coleslaw mix). It was cooked in V-8 or Garden Cocktail juice and there was an envelope of onion soup mix added. You could add chopped onions, zucchini. It was quite tastey. Does that help? You could just make small batches (therefore not using a whole envelope of soup mix). I can try to refine this recipe for you if you're interested. I know I won't find the exact recipe.

HELPNEEDED--CONGRATS on all that you've lost! That is awesome girl! It's a shame your social life is on hold. Could you not bring your own food to some of the shindigs (or are they usually out in a restaurant?)? Bring a baggie of veggies or other kind of food you eat (eg. you could bring celery and dip it in the salsa and not eat the chips that would be there). I know, it doesn't sound too cool, but you are looking out for your own health. Could you tell a little white lie that you're diabetic or something so can't eat the food that is there? You could drink club soda--have the bartender put a lime in it and it looks like a nice drink.

MEROMO--don't worry about stumbling a bit. I fell flat on my face today with the donuts! I don't think it will do much damage to you. By the way, what's a DONAIR? I've never heard of it.

CAT--GREAT LOSS! Keep doing whatever you're doing, cause it's working!

TRIXI--we each have to do what works for us. Sounds like you figured out what works for you. Hope you had a good TGIF!

Gotta go put the munchkin to bed.
Nighty nite all.

Trixi 01-24-2004 11:20 AM

Trixi went AWOL yesterday!!!
 
I was unavailable for comment yesterday due to the fact that I was kidnapped by the evil soul :devil: inside of me. She took me right after work and with out my permission, she dragged me to the bar with the pretence of say hi to finance parents who have their Friday eveining cocktail there. She said I could be strong and only have a soda water (with lime) and I would be okay...she would watch out for me..Siiting at the bar she told me they have something called "lo-carb" beer. I said "NO, I am sticking to soda water...please leave me alone" I don't no what sort of magic she has but all of the sudden my soda water turned into the low carb beer (gotta tell you...it tasted awful) and that turned into a wine to get rid of the horrible taste...Cant tell you how many wines I had cause she must have cast some sort of forgetting and counting spell on me...To make matters worse she followed me home in the taxi and made me order panizorottos (it had to be her cause I cant even spell panzirottos) I know it was her evil voice ordering it to be a footlong and deep fried one as well, cause I would never do that :nono:. Finally after eating almost the entire thing she forced me to go to sleep on the living room chair even. I woke up about an hour later and thankfully she was gone.

Well, That was my eveing..I am so glad you all told me about your beer...Its makes me not feel so guilty ;)

Cat: WAY TO GO ON THE LOSS! :dancer: :cp:....doesn't it feel great? Monday is fast approaching me and I need to be extra good so Friday doesn't show too much :) on the scale.

Zanne, I have forced myself never to try one of those Kripsy Kremes cause I know I would find a new addiction. But don't worry about it too much everyone deserves to endulge at times (hence, last night for me).

Glen, How did the stew turn out?

HelpNeeded: You should be so proud of yourself for all the weight loss..:cp:...I know you'll make your goal. You seem really motivated...I think you will probably be more support to us then we will to you :lol: Keep up the great work!

MeRoMo, How are you doing?

Its about 11:15 AM and I am going to start cleaning and drinking a ton of water to flush out the stupid thing I ate yesterday.....gotta get back on track. Funny thing is this morning I was rubbing my tummy and it felt alittle flatter and not bloated! Will post more later!!!

Trixi!

cat90 01-24-2004 01:28 PM

:rofl: :lol: Trixi..i think that evil soul will be visiting Victoria tonight and putting in an appearance while i am at a party :eek: think i'll take a baseball bat with me to fend her off :rollpin: what on earth is a panni wotsit? i've never heard of them but i have heard of a donair :lol:

Susanne..i would have been exactly the same with the donuts :( so i try to avoid them now...can you feed the remaining ones to some poor unsuspecting soul? :lol:

Time for me to hit my treadmill :rolleyes: Have a Great Weekend Everyone :wave:

hefty1 01-24-2004 04:06 PM

:wave: hi everyone. cathy a panzorotti is a pizza sandwich. have fun tonight.
trixi: the devil was at my place last night also. i lost 1.4 today. i've put the stew together and cooking later.
zane post the soup reciepe please.
:) glen

Zanne 01-24-2004 04:24 PM

Sounds like the DEVIL was everywhere yesterday LOL!
 
Hi Everyone!

Well, my eating got better last night. I had a bowlful of veggies for a snack instead of chips. Eating has been good today, so far. Probably I haven't eaten enough, but I'm taking it easy. My stomach had an episode with not liking a vitamin I fed it.

GLEN-- WAY TO GO WITH THE LOSS!! I'll have to try to figure out that recipe. I can't remember where I got it from, but it was actually sounding yummy when I was typing yesterday. I'll make me up some in the next couple of days and write down what I throw in. I tend to cook by eye and my friends hate that--especially when they want the "recipe" for stuff I make. I'll try to be specific with measurements for you.

CAT--the donuts are all gone now. DH and DS helped me finish them off!

TRIXI--I loved your Devil story! Next time don't be so polite by asking her to "please" leave. Tell her to go straight back home to...well you know where.

I've got to go get dinner started. Bye y'all!

Gee....I fell soooo bad. I really need to remember this horrible stomach ache when I think I want to cheat again. I can't keep anything down...Didn.t get much done today..alittle cleaning , shopping at about five different places, I took my vitamins but I think they added to my nausuea.

Zanne I did go by blockbluster and they had "Walk Aaway the Pounds" I bought the one with the 1 mile and 2 miles workout. I watched it and think that its going to be perfect for me...thanks for the tip again! I am going to try it tomorrow.

Hope you all have a great night. I am going to veg on the couch and watch movies. It was hubby's turn to pick so I will probably sleep right through them :) Night all

Hi everyone.

Sorry I have been MIA. Between computer problems, car problems, working and the house I haven't had a minute to get in here.

Great too see you all doing good. I have switched to slim milk as another way to cut out some fat and cals....but yuck....my tea still looked black I think I might have to go up a notch to 1%.

Just came back from a 40 min walk.....whew....it is cold. My forehead was freezing....this is one way I act like a kid....I will not wear a hat so it is my own fault but what a beautiful sunny day.

Zanne: Sorry I haven't responded to your email, I have had problems with that account so I think I might have to do another email address. How is Kinetex going???

Have any of you been following the taking it off series on the Lifenetwork, last week was the first weight in. Zanne, one of the girls is doing Kinetex, she lost a pound .

Well better go as usual daughter has a game so gotta get motivated.

Have a super day everyone.
