Hi girls! I did OK yesterday too. I deviated from the plan a bit, but the choices I'm making are better than they were. I think I'll weigh tomorrow.....but I'm afraid! I figure it might be somewhere around 175 - which is my limit...I've sworn to myself I will never allow myself to get over that, so if I'm right and I'm 175 tomorrow - I will have been over that weight because I have been pretty good the past couple of days. We'll see what the morning brings and I'll give you all a drumroll and a report! I start my days off pretty well - I have a protein drink in the morning, and at lunch I have been having a small bit of cottage cheese, a small bit of tuna salad and a small amount of egg salad. That really seems to hold me until dinner. For dinner, I plan some chicken or shrimp, and have a protein bar for snack. I did deviate last night with some pretzels, but I dipped them in protein powder, so maybe it's not so bad...huh? All we can do is keep on trying - even if I lose a pound a week and am able to maintain that, I will consider that a success!! Hugs, Nancy

Well today's a new day... I'm done with my tantrum... I'll get back on track today. So here's the plan: Breakfast: Tilapia/Applesauce Snack: AchievOne Lunch: South Beach Penne Chicken Snack: AchievOne Dinner: Steak Nutrition: 1224 Calories 45 Fat 43 Carbs 132 Protein Exercise: 1 hr water aerobics 1 hr walking 25 minutes Pilates

I haven't completely added up yesterday's totals, but I know that they were pretty good. I had to keep fighting the urge to sneak into the kitchen...and I actually won! No exercise again...was too busy after school. I only have a partial plan today. I'm taking Caitlin to get her birthday pictures done and will probably stop and get something CHEAP (which usually means not healthy) for dinner before we swing by the hospital to see my BIL. He's doing much better, although the jury is still out on the heart. All they know is that the heart enzymes are abnormal. His doctor, who's also the guy making the rounds, said that nothing appears to be critical at this point, so treat the pnuemonia and in a couple weeks they'll get back to the heart issues... B: english muffin L: wrap, cottage, crackers D: not sure Exercise: No time Have a good day! Pamela

Hello everyone, Nothing new...just that I am being soooo good and am fed up with the scales. I have been watching 157...158....157....159...158...157.....and so on for 2 weeks and I have been soooooo on track. This is disappointing that I am working so hard and see zero results. I haven't eaten over 1000 calories per day in 2 weeks and each day I get my protein....this process seems painful....if I were really cheating I would know why the scales were not moving but I am not.....well...enough complaining....hope everyone has a great day on Wednesday. Hugs Karen 299 - 158 - 149

I guess we're all in a funk. I did pretty well yesterday until about 7 PM. I was going to have my second protein bar, and an old friend called. I was on the phone for about 90 minutes and I got so hungry - I ended up picking at pretzels, then added some cream cheese to them. I also noshed on a little piece (and I really mean little) of my son's Domino thin crust pizza. That stuff kind of set me off - I sometimes feel if I make one mistake the rest of the day is shot; dopey way to think, I know - I wanted to eat more. I downed a whole bottle of water and ate some shrimp, so that wasn't too bad. All I can do at this point is keep plugging away and keep on trying. I walked yesterday but it was sooooo windy I only stayed out about 20 minutes. Practiced my tap last night for a bit too. I haven't weighed, but I think I have to be realistic and figure I won't be 169 in time for my trip to Boston on Saturday.... Hanging in there.... Hugs, Nancy
