I love using my crockpot and I really appreciate the link to those recipes! Thanks!!!

Thanks for the welcome.

My day was not so good. I still ate some of those blasted Girl Scout cookies and I'm pretty sure I didn't count how many (how convenient! LOL!)

Anyhow...back OP tomorrow.

Will try to PLAN my day:

Breakast
1 slice wheat bread - 2
1T Peanut butter - 3
Coffee with 2 sweet/low, 1/4c 2% milk - 1

Lunch
Grilled chicken/bacon salad at McD's - 6
Lite balsamic vinaigrette - 1
Water

Dinner
Not sure yet

And my goal is to get all my h2o drunk!

Hello all! Welcome back from the weekend to some of us ;) I did okay over the weekend. I only ate cake at two parties (the ones with the best cake). The one party knows I am WW so they buy me the FF hot dogs and light buns. They also always have baked chips. I drank water there. Did fine. Glad the weekend is over. I have also sworn off the GS cookies. I have gone three days without in a row now. Yipee! That is some serious success for me. I went tot he gym today and even got some cardio in. AHHH feels so good. According to my monitor, I burned 350 calories yeah again.

Breakfast
oatmeal 3pts


I must have a snack today. I am famished????? Will update with more later.

I also ate a snack but call it wash on the days I work out with the trainer. I had 2.5 points worth of FF yogurt,frozen blueberries,and go lean crunch. It was great. Never knew blueberries were so tart.

Have a good night. --Amy

Hello guys. I didn't post yesterday. We had a funeral for my grandmother yesterday and it was a strange day to say the least. Eating went well. Had fruit for breakfast. Went to Famous Dave's for dinner. Ate 1/3 corn muffin, very few fries, 1 rib and three slices of brisket. Not too bad.

Today......

lunch
most of a 6" ham sub from Subway with no cheese and veggies and mustard (I ate about 3/4 of it) 5pts
baked lays 2pts

snack

dinner will be chick-fil-a salad and I have 9 points for that. I will pick off the cheese and not do croutons or sunflower seeds. Should work out okay.

I have stuck to my guns on the artificial sweetener. Have not had any since I decided to stop. Thanks for your info on that.

I will post again tomorrow.

--Amy

Me again. Where is everyone? Come on........I can be gone for several days but as soon as I'm back on here, I expect everyone to be. Ha ha ha. I went and weighed in tonight for the first time in three weeks. I am down 2 pounds!!! Yipee!!!! I guess I will keep on going. 15 more to go to goal. Man! I just wish I could get this done. I did get the salad for dinner. I did also eat the croutons and the sunflower seeds. Oops! Oh well. I am heading out of town on Friday and will be gone for two weeks. I will have access to a friend's computer, so I do plan on checking in every now and then. See you tomorrow. = ==Amy

Howdy!
Sorry I've been MIA. I've been sick in bed w/bronchitis and a fever since Tuesday. Didn't attend my meeting Wed, but as of this morning I'm down to 192.4. I know it's a false loss, due to my not eating much the last couple days...but I'm still smiling :)
I'm home today too, but feeling alittle better...am thinking of going to the noon meeting in town, just to get myself back in the groove of things. Will let everyone know what they say.

Jennifer, I hope you feel better soon. YUCK!! Hope the loss stays too. :) I will write more later today. Just checking to make sure we didn't all fall off the radar. --Amy

Sorry to hear about your Grandmother Amy.
I am also sorry I haven't posted in a few days.I woke up Tues. morning and could barely walk.Somehow I screwed up my back again.I am seeing a chiropractor tomorrow.My eating has been soso.Tues we had pizza which wasn't good.Yesterday I hardly ate during the day and I managed to be upright long enough to make enchiladas for supper.Which I threw up an hour later.I am not a happy camper,being an active person I find it very distressing to be down and out.I have high hopes for tomorrow and maybe then I can get my weightloss back on track.My goal is 16 weeks away and the way things are going I am not going to make it.

He everyone. This is my last post from Arizona for awhile. I am off to Minnesota this afternoon. I will check in when I can.

Breakfast
oatmeal 3pts

workout with trainer.

too nervous to eat right now. I usually settle down at the airport.

Lynn, I hope you are feeling better. The friend I am going to visit has had back problems in the past. I know it is one of the worst pains to try to "live" with. Just hard to do anything. Good luck on getting better.

Jennifer, hope you are doing well.

I did my usual morning weigh in. It said 170.4. So darn close to under 170. I officially have 15 more to go to goal and am feeling pretty excited about it. Hopefully I will do well over the next two weeks. Take care........Amy

Hi guys!!! I am back from vacation. I am so happy to back in sunny Arizona. Don't know how you all cope with the cold and snow. Brrrrrrr! I did not eat well at all. I actually went and weighed in on last Wed (can't remember the date) but it was a week and a half ago. Anyway, I was back up to 173.8. That was a three pound gain. Weighed as soon as I got home today and my scale said 170.8. I think I may have managed to not gain any weight.

Anyhow, I will be right back on program tomorrow. Hope to see everyone posting a bit more. I missed the "support"
