I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Today I had an Atkins Bar for breakfast about 11 A.M. Then at 4 I ate 3 chicken strips and 1/4 cup lima beans and 1/4 cup potato salad and a roll. All this came from Publix , and is not "healthy food" . I'll eat something else before I go to bed. Today was my last day off from work , so I'll be up at 5 A.M. and at work at 6, so I'll be back on a schedule. I'll eat breakfast at 7 , I'm thinking oat meal or Atkins bar. I' ll fix tuna for lunch for the rest of the week. I'll eat Broiled chicken every night and veggies. I'll start posting my meals and I know this will help. I watched Oprah today and she is back up to 200 pounds and is going to be having programs the next two weeks to help people get back on track. Carnie Wilson was on the show and she has lost , she looks so good.
Well, tomorrow is another day!! Good night, Judy

When I first had the mega problems with the low blood sugar I was gaining weight like crazy without eating that much. My metabolism was all off wack.
I've lost that crazy weight and now have even lost 2 pounds from my beginning weight before the low blood sugar hit.
My next form of attack for health is to get my big butt back to a gym. This weekend is when I go to try out the one down the street from my house!
Connie, thank you for sending me the note I'm very happy that you were able to send us messages. I look forward to hearing from you again when you're feeling better
Food for me... yeesh!
B-fast at 11:30 - Fish sandwich from Mickey D's with one slice of the bun.
Dinner - So far, about 4 ounces of sirloin steak.
Gotta rush to the 2nd job and will probably eat something else when I get off work at 10:00. If I'm lucky, it won't be 1/2 a bag of chips because I'm just too tired to fix anything that's better for me.
I have no blooming idea how much I weigh. Clothes fit the same as they did befor the holidays so I'm grateful for that.
I have no idea what real exercise is like anymore, but I'm on my feet for 4 or 5 hours a day and spend part of that running up and down stairs. That's probably why my clothes still fit after the holidays.

Hi all - it will help me to "give" my food over and my plan for living healthily - beginning today. If it helps just one other person, I'm a happy camper! Of course, join me if you think it will help you! I'm estimating the calories and protein count, if you come up with something else or if I seem to be way off, would you clue me in? Thanks - have a great day, friends. Maureen

Weight as of this a.m.: 158.5 - my HIGHEST since surgery total loss - I'm so scared!!!
How does everyone feel about a weekly check-in post, just to give each other support and be accountable for our week. This will help me, I know - what about you? How about Saturdays??? Once a week? MY GOAL IS TO LOSE 3 LBS. BY SATURDAY, 1/10. Reenie 
I am right there with you trying to kick the carbs and nonsense stuff !!!
I bought the 5 CD set of Walking Away the Pounds at Home and my hope is to get up at 4:45 a.m. to do that each a.m. and failing the am. do it when I get home in the evening. I gave up my gym membership because it was $59/month I was not using. I got screwed up when I was battling the kidney stones and never got back into the routine of going to the gym on a regular basis after that.
My 5 year is sdchedled for March 16, tho I might move it since we are probably not going to be at the beach for St Patrick's day parade, and appointment was to be on the way home on Monday. I need ot lose at least what I have gained since lastMarch, which is do-able and would REALLY like to lose what I have gained since March 2007 which is also do-able!
Hugs, Mo
Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
