Hi Nancy perhaps you and I will meet at curves someday. Such a small town we live in. We have probably crossed paths many times before. Wishing you all the best with your up coming WLS you are a very courageous lady! I read the Ontario WLS forum daily because I find that I still learn lot of useful info. Stories inspire and motivate me. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers neighbor.

Good for you rejoining Curves. I enjoyed it when I had my membership...such a comfortable and non-judgemental place to exercise.
I changed my shake a bit and I am having 3/4 cup greek yogurt and leaving out the cottage cheese...I couldn't get used to the taste. Plus I have cottage cheese and fruit for lunch so it was cottage cheese overload.
And I treated myself (and hubby) to 24oz Trevis tumblers at Bed Bath & Beyond for our breakfast smoothies this weekend . Sometimes things just taste better in pretty dishes.
Will check back in with all of you tomorrow for Hump Day Weigh In.

Good for you on re-joining Curves! I plan to go too once I am able to after my surgery of Sept. 4th. I used to go with a friend but.....you know how it goes. Exercise was never a priority and holding down the fort with two kids and a job it was on the bottom of the list. Now I know that exercise is so important and has to take priority for all the right reasons. I give you great credit and keep up the great work. There are so many great people on this site and the forums are great for ideas and enthusiasm. Have a great long weekend :) Nancy

Today I decided that it was time to get moving again! I rejoined curves today! I had been away from there for a year and after two surgeries to remove glands under my arms I went bk today. I was hesitating because if $ BUT I can't afford not too. Got to get moving hope to improve my blood sugars. Felt good to go bk I was able to do the circuit and still know some of the faces. This week I am working on getting Tammys tasty breakie shakes in me. And following a Volumetrics food plan. I was finding the low carb plan difficult to stay on so I am really shaking things up a bit. Also trying to food journal with my fitness pal. Have a great wk all and don't be too shy to check in and say hi !

Hi DebColCam
I too am a emotional eater. The best thing is realizing you are and that is the first step towards recovery. I see you live in Canada. Where do you live? Im in Winnipeg, MB.
The link below is a resource centre in Ontario. You probably can contact them to give any info about counselors who deal directly with eating disorders, which emotional eating is part of.

Good luck!

I'll gladly share the recipe!
1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese
1-2 cups berries, fresh or frozen (2 peaches work well)
My preference is strawberry and banana - extra serving of fruit but keeps me full even longer.
Mix it up in the blender. It is very thick and takes a good 30 minutes to drink. I made the mistake of drinking too quickly the first time I made it and had a tummy ache for the morning.
Enjoy!
(pretend those are smoothies in the mugs!)

Hi Deb!
Good for you on posting this info. You have had a heavy load in life lately and if your weight has stayed the same then bonus. Hope you get on the best meds for you and life settles down somewhat too. Can you share the breakie shake recipe by chance? thanks, Nancy

I'm glad the shake is filling you up for breakfast. My hubby and a couple of my friends are making it as well. Good luck with the new med...fingers crossed it works well with no/few side effects.

I'm going to be treating myself to re-piercing my ears. I let my second holes close up and I promised myself if I got down to 185 that I would reward myself with that.
