Woohooo! Thank you for sharing the good news and excitement. I'm going to try to have a great day tomorrow and hope to have some good results like yours (even that 1-2# would thrill me!)

Hi Kerdeeya! Wow, you have had some exciting times here recently. So kewl!!! I hope you WILL have great holidays, keep motivated to keep that under control. That's one thing that only YOU can control and should be able to feel good about.
My plan for the holidays and surviving the carbs is to do very limited baking. Going to make 2 gingerbread houses (one will go to DD's house) and only ONE batch of splenda gingerbread cookies for consumption. Our tradition is that the gingerbread house doesn't get touched till Christmas day then the kids have at it. So we get the nice smell and prettiness of it and it isn't a temptation. With the splenda cookies to look forward to then I won't want any of the house myself either. We do a little cookie exchange at work and I will do one kind of cookie for that but then the cookies I come home with will get eaten up promptly by my boys so I'm not worried about that.
Other than that...no baking! Melissa is going to help me stay strong and not even make a batch of her protein fudge. Even though it is a good, healthy recipe it IS extra calories and the protein grams could just as easily be made up for in a chicken breast or something not sweet.
We can do this!

Hugs for you for the family drama, Elaine. {{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}} Hang in there and kudos for getting rid of the candy. Hope your fake fried chicken tasted good! Great job getting on your elliptical. Very inspiring! I am going to drag up my little old stair stepper that was my 1st yr. post-op pal before getting the treadmill. Might be a good thing to get me back in an exercise groove like you.
Bad eating here lately, I posted on the weigh-in message about it but will get back to being better now. Besides, vacation is just about over so no excuses.
coffee,coffee,coffee...lots of herbal tea
1 EAS cafe caramel
1/2 cup egg beaters
skim milk latte
2 cups black bean soup
1/2 cup nsa choc. chips (baking grazing)
1 homemade nsa choc. cupcake
No exercise....some shopping this morning during which I must have twisted wrong and messed up my middle back. It is sore and tender. Did some demolition in the basement yesterday, maybe it was from that?
May eat more soup tonight then I have to fast for my 2yr. post-op labs tomorrow morning.

Great goal! Glad that you are energized to get back to work on it. If I had the courage to set a goal (and I'm not sure I do) it would be to lose 10# by New Year's.
Not happy with the numbers today but then I have eaten a lot this week, not feeling well and eating mushy stuff. After the root canal on Monday I was in a LOT of pain and got Lortab from the dentist then had to go back the next day for antibiotics when the infection spread into my face and puffed my cheek out like a chipmunk. The swelling is going down now and the pain is nearly all gone. Can't use feeling sorry for myself as an excuse. Just need to eat better!

Topic: going back to basic even 4 1 day REALLY paid off
yesterday morning, i weighed in at 143.5 (the night before was even worse--147)
I was good all day yesterday and was hoping for 1-2lbs loss but when I stepped on a scale today--135.5---quite a difference in 24 hours. i know it's water weight but damn, that made me feel better and motivated to stay on track today!!!

I'm Back...sorry I disappeared for a few days. Family drama. Let's just say I now have 3 kids! My 17 1/2 YO nephew has been with me for a couple of years now. He is more like having a roomie that doesn't pay rent. But, he went to visit his sister and take her a new cell phone G-daddy bought for her (she was in OKC which is 90 miles from us BTW). While there her egg-donor cause some drama and the plice get called out (by the kids, tell me who the grown up is here?). They threaten to take sis (14 YO) to juvie because egg-donor says she started the trouble and she doesn't want her there. They call me (the kids) and I say just bring her home with me. Had to enroll her in school and still waiting to hear back from child services about the rest.
When I did foster care I use to call family members jokingly everytime I got a placement and say "It's a girl!" or "It's a boy!" Kept them on there toes. Dad use to say he did not have time to adjust, no 9 months to wait with me so you better stay alert.
So now I have a 17 YO, 14, YO and 4 YO. OMG! Can anyone say..."Calgon, take me away"?
Back to my plan for the day. all the Halloween chocolate is gone now, BTW. Only thing left is the icky stuff like suckers and tootsies so no temtations there.
B- protein shake
S- coffee w/ SF creamer
L- chili
S- rice cake with PB
D- chicken fake fried...gonna dip the chick in egg and crunched up fried onions and bake in the oven...never done it before but sounds delish to me!
S- yogurt w/ frozen BB's (been missin my BB's and I am goin to the store today!)
Edited to add: exercise plan to do 36 min. elliptical. I have been doing it the last two days and plan to again today. I am going to try 3 days on and one day off. On my off day I will try to do a biggest loser video or something...just to shake things up a little. My thighs and butt hurt today cause I have been slacking on the elliptical more than I have been doing it so this 2 days in a row is kicking my butt.
Have a good one every body!
