I would like to try this! Great way to support each other. I signed up for online Weight Watchers a few weeks ago and this will help keep me encouraged to eat well. Thanks for putting this together!

I'm in Missouri and My husband plowed the garden and we have had nothing but rain since. When the garden is going there is always something to be done out there. And your bonus is fresh veggies., Nice sweet tomatoes,crunchie cucumbers. Love the fresh zuchinni and bell peppers.We put out lots of types of veggies just not a whole lot.,as it is just us. Wish I could share this year with all of you that don't garden.

What's on the menu for MONDAY ?
I think it is helpful to most on a weight loss plan to make a menu of what they will eat each day. It really helps you to stay on track. Also, when there is a list of what everyone else is eating and you failed to plan your own menu it helps to look at what everyone else plans to eat. Often you will see something on the list that you have the ingredients to whip together and then you stay on track too. Just remember that it takes participation for the list to be helpful. I will start the list each day with my own plan and all of you can add your own to it. We can see how it goes this month and then decide if we should keep it going next month or not. Jump in!!
Monday Menu
Breakfast
2 egg white omelet with salsa
1 cup cooked oatmeal (no salt)w/cinnamon
Morning Snack
6-8 carrot fingers
Dinner
1 Grilled (Lo Fat) Beef Patty
1 Cup Broccoli
Afternoon Snack
1 Cheese stick (Lo Fat) or 3 1-inch cubes of Mozzerella Cheese
Supper
1 Grilled skinless chicken breast
1 Cup green beans
Bedtime Snack (before 8 PM)
1 Apple

Hello hello! I have 25 days until my weight loss surgery. I have eliminated all solid food out of my diet and am drinking 7 shakes a day totalling 1,170 calories. I have just a few pounds to go to meet the requirement that I have to weigh less than 400 pounds on the day of the surgery. That seems like a huge thing to me but I am going to work my buns off trying! If I can get to 390 by surgery day I will be one happy girl!!!
Tomorrow I have to go get my meds and meet with my therapist and at 1 o'clock I am going to the gym to work out. Hopefully if I work out every day and do the shakes then I can get to my goal of 390 pounds by May 25th.
May 25th is the day before surgery but it is also the day I weigh in for the last time. The surgeon said if I am not at 400 or below on that day then he will not do the surgery. Sigh. That is why I am working so hard to get under that mark. I am trying to account for any differences in the scales. PLUS I think it will prove to the surgeon how serious I am about losing this weight.
So, everybody, please pray for me and know that I will keep you updated every step along the way on my journey to a better body and a healthier life!
Love y'all!
