Actually, I hope that this post can bring people in from all my different cc groups....that way when we all meet one day, it will be like one huge reunion show!  ( :

TODAY WEIGHT:  166 
GOAL WEIGHT for next payday (7-20):  160

The egg beater mini quiches sound good.  I have to get some egg beaters...I never tried but so many people like them.  I like bananas but I had one that was a bit smooshy, it made me gag so I will be off them for awhile.  String cheese is a really good idea.  I am a really horrible morning eater...lol.  Thanks Olivia.  How is your class so far this year?

We have egg beaters several times a week. We originally started getting them because my stepson would eat 6 egg omlets regularly...that's just too much cholesterol.

I'm more of a 200-300 calorie breakfast eater, myself, and then about the same for lunch. With luck & planning, dinner is 500 cals or less which leaves me with a couple hundred for snacks. I actually prefer to keep my dinners on the small side so that I don't get accustomed to eating a large volume at one time.

chris is much more disciplined than me!   ( :    I used to go all day long from 5AM until after work at 4PM without eating.    I stopped doing that last year and felt so much better.  As a teen idiot, I always thought the less I eat, the better.   it has been a hard stigma thing for me to break out of, but I feel so much better after I eat through the day.     I still save myself a GOOD chunk of cals for afternoon snack, decent size dinner, and even dessert if I want it, but eating something before work, at 10:30, and a real, seemingly huge lunch while at work has made a BIG difference for me.  

thanks for asking, puppy!  ( :  MY classes so far are great.  Flying by so far, but really, I haven't even started.  We are still playing get to know you games and stuff like that.   it is important to me to bulid a GOOD foundation with my kids so they WANT to be successful for me.   ( :   Worth the time investment to me.

any other breakfast/lunch ideas?   (always on the lookout!)

anyone out there?   ( :  

weigh in tomorrow!!!!

Be there or be square!  

Chris--the scotch story---LOL--me--MAYBE 3 months and then --gind the money for more..so  instead I buy the cheap stuff (not scotch) and try not to run out except when it is intentionally to give my body a break....   :(   sad but true

 

Olivia-  baked potato for breakfast!!  Me too sometimes..fills me up and with salsa on it it is lo cal!

Don't have a clue how I am doing "real" weight wise--for one thing I am sure Dad's scales weigh differently than mine---but more than that--the foods I eat there are High sodium

TOTALLY off subject--what can you tell me (anyone) about the 2009 pontiac VIBE

JESS sorry I missed your birthday--

 

  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I eat what I want for breakfast.  I am not a breakfast person --  well, breakfast for supper is yummy and fun sometimes. .....  lol

I like the way the Vibe looks, but that's all I know.   ( : 

I just maintained last week, but since I lost 3 last week, that;s ok. 

How are all you, losers?   : D

Havent seen the dietitian I'm suppost to be seeing for a week, just busy and not writing in my journal and weighed this a.m. up 2 lbs. I could be water but still. Had oriental Thurs night so this weekend is a flush weekend, lots of water, green veg and protein. I need to start planning better. sound like everyone is doing well.  Never thought of baked potato for breakfast , why not. I've had breakfast for dinner.  Will have to work harder.  Hang in there everyone. I have this terrible cold or allergy thing, on anitbotic again. Have to see ENT because they are all school year long.   IT's FRIDAY!

Hey ladies

I'm definitely a breakfast for dinner girl but dinner for breakfast? Not so sure

156 today. Down 1 from last week.

I leave on Sunday. My kids are gonna love the ocean! I'm so excited! I haven't been the since I was a teenager. Can't wait!

Have a great day ladies

135.1

On the 13th I was 132.8 (almost the same as the 8th), then Friday (8/15) it's 134.9. I tell myself it's water on the 15th. Then it STAYS between 135.0 & 135.2 all week!

Help. This is so discouraging. Ihave to be sooo careful for weeks and weeks in order to drop about a pound a week. That's OK. It's not ok to shoot up a couple of pounds (two weeks work, darn it!) and stay there for a whole week! crap crap crap!

It never fails, just when I think I have a clue...

Errr. Sorry for selfish rant:

Hope you have a really fun trip with the kiddos, immom. You're really doing well with your goals. Note to self: can be done!

Hope you feel better soon gypsie!

Well I lost a .5 pound and I am thrilled!! It took me 3 weeks.  Now I just have to see if I stay below the 130 mark...I hope so. 

Chris it will come off because it has before.....but I so understand the frustration....just do not get frustrated

Immom enjoy the ocean.

Gypsie, I hope you feel better, I take allergy stuff all year long.  I was cutting back a Russian sage plant and ended up coughing the rest of the night but it is worth it to be able to work with my plants.

Olivia, on the other forum I did not acknowledge the death of your bike.  I am so sorry for your loss.  Once you get over the grief checkout garage sales and the paper.  It is amazing how many people get rid of exercise equipment but be careful of the lemons i got 2 treadmills that broke quickly then ended up buying a brand new one.

grr

am at 201. was 191 already. GRRR

dang it, ka --   sodium only maybe?     (chin up!!!!)_

thanks, puppy.  lol --  I just got on overstock and got a new one.   I couldn;t bear to wait very long.  it sucks to have to do twice as much running to get the same cals burnt -- and my knees won;t last forever doing that. 

I hate TTOM.   I saw a 163 and a 161 this weekend ----- both new numbers for me.   Then today, 166 something.  I know, I know, but why tease me?   ( :

where does one rant and vent and yell if not here, chris, among friends!!!????    ((((HUGS))))

sounds like us losers are doing pretty well!  

well sodium is partly to blame, but i would say only partly. the cals were just too numerous and the days too many. i do hope this week will start another happy perios od losing..

Today begins the last week of August and the beginning of the new fall semester at the college where I work. I'm pretty pumped up about finishing & starting well! Hoorah!!

Let's turn these darn scales around, Ka!

I did pretty well in August so far.   Let's keep it going, girls!!!

We can do it! ( :

I spent my weekend eating honey roasted peanuts.  I am a sabataoger of myself.  It takes three weeks to lose a half pound and I eat peanuts like  nothing else!!  I actually felt nauseous. I think I am stressing about a baby shower I am doing for my pregnant 17 year old (I debated about even doing one).  I am her adoptive mom, she has bio-mom back in her life (meth, men, etc), baby's daddy's mom is a witch with a capital B. Plus her mom and the brother of the daddy, his girlfriend who also has a baby out of wedlock.  Thank the Lord my mom is coming and I have all my husbands sisters and mom also.  My DH and I do not see eye to eye with baby's daddy's parents.  Eventhough the kids are going to have a baby we still expect moral standards.  His parents let them sleep together in a cabin at a family reunion.....ok ladies are DH and I just being too hardass????  I just expected on their watch that they would not put their son in bed with my daughter which they did (put him there) because he was drunk.  My husband will not let the kid back in our house because he tried to talk to him about it and the kid had a temper tantrum. 

Crazy workout week for me to relieve some stress and correct the damage I did.

I love overstock.com Olivia.  Next time your order something go through MrRebates.com first.  Last Christmas I ordered all presents on-line and ended up with a $36.00 rebate check.  Plus at Christmas hardly any company charges shipping.  Anyway just a thought.

Let's kick some butt or tummy or thighs or just plain old fat and calories this week....go girls!!!!  Plus I have to look great for the baby shower Oct 4th.  The baby is due Nov 5th.  I turned 43 on the 20th of August, it will be nice to be such a young G-ma!!

you're a good mom, puppy.  woo.   have the best time you can!  lol   ( : make the best of the situation at hand is always my motto. 

good tip on the rebates!  love free money!!
