You started your day out strong! A Sausage Patty sounds delish! We just got a 1/4 Beef and next I want to get some pork....YUM!

How's it going with your Parents? I haven't been to see my Mom at the Nursing home since I got home. Right after we got home from vacation the 2 yr old Grandson broke out with Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease so I'm going to wait and see if any of the rest come down with it. He must have gotten it on the cruise.

We don't go to Red Lobster often because DH doesn't care for it but I do remember those buns being delicious!

Topic: Syntrax Mint Cookie SALE!!!!!!!!

In the last few months the Protein that I've used for years raised their price up $16.00 for a 5 lb. bag. It went from 38.52 to 54.50 a bag. I had to drop down from ordering 2 bags at a time to ordering 1 every month.

I buy my Protein from All Star Health and yesterday when I placed my order they were having a sale on some of the Syntrax flavors and fortunately my Mint Cookie is one of them ($37.40)!! I checked other sites and they are still selling them at over $50.00.

THE SALE IS STILL GOING ON TODAY!! I wrote and asked them how long it's going to be on sale but they haven't responded yet. I'm hoping it lasts until next week so I can order 2 more.

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.

I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Scales are still at 118....YEAH!!!

9 + Years!!

Morning LW's!!!! I did it!! I won the Bun/Butter battle at TX Roadhouse which turned out not to be much of a challenge. I was perfectly content with steak and green beans with bacon. Scale was still at the bottom of my "good" range @ 118. I am having a stuff pork chop for dinner but there won't be much stuffing and I did put extra egg in it.

Breakfast:

Protein: Matrix Mint Cookie 35g

Lunch: 1 Crab Cake (little oatmeal)

Snack: 1 Beef Stick

Protein: Matrix Mint Cookie 35g

Snack: Sliced Ham

Dinner: Stuffed Pork Chop

Snack: Jerky

Topic: RE: On the road again! Help me get back on track :)

Regain is such a battle. Hang in there, sounds like your doing things right!

I am 5' 1" and 51 years old. 7 years post op rny.

I got down to 131, got back up to 164. Thank goodness down to 145, but when I think about it, 19 pounds in 120 days is not so bad. Trying to get back into the 130's.

Good luck!

Congrats on your engagement and wedding coming up!

Big hugs to you Roz!

Topic: RE: We need Posters!!!

So Sorry I didn't see your poster sooner!!! We left on vacation on the 5th and I was kindof slipping at posting on those few days before that.

Thanks for the compliment....I needed it today!!! I've really been bummed that we have so few posters. I don't know what else to do to get them posting like it was when I started my journey over 9 years ago.

You have done an Awesome Job keeping your weight off!! I'm sooooo Proud of you!!!!!!! I'm glad you have working out. That seems to be the biggest downfall for others. They exercise like crazy until they hit goal and then exercising gradually disappears and the weight starts working it's weight back on.

That's one of the things I ward new posters about. You have to LOVE exercising and if you start you HAVE TO continue doing it after you get to goal.

I knew an exercise program was NOT for me...........LOL.

Please stop back in we could use some help!
