What must have saved me was that I had exercised everyday I was there, and I hate to exercise. Now I know that I can't talk myself out of it even when I stay on track food wise.

Way to go on the 2 lbs trupeach!! Purplemem: are you ok after your fall? What is CHF? Is that a cholesterol reading? Hang in there, heal up those bruises and remember even moving a little more is a victory, no matter what the scales say. Karla's supper pictures are making me hungry and it is not time for supper yet; man they look good. Someone posted a shrimp scampi recipe on this forum and it inspired me, so I made it last night. I would have taken a pic but, I was really hungry. :D It was good! |

Thanks for the encouragement and good luck everyone!! |
BrendaB: you are so right about the whole wheat pasta. Also if you have Jenny O turkey products available, they have an Italian turkey sausage that we use to make our spaghetti sauce. It is so good. To a jar of spaghetti sauce (pick your favorite), we add diced tomatoes (0 pts.) mushrooms (0 pts). So the only points you have is the spaghetti sauce 2 pts 1/2 C serving, and the pasta about 3 pts per 1 c serving.
You see, once you figure out the point values of foods, it isn't too tough to come up with a variety of very good meals. Like that soup supper that Karla made. Wonderful, I just loved how that looked, and it is so healthy, and you could probably eat quite a bit of it and not get bored. |

I didn't know this thread existed and only spotted it few days ago however I knew I had to lose weight and I started my diet last Monday so I am behind everyone else. No.......I am not doing WW points, I don't even know how they work I just do my own thing. From my training in culinary arts I should know how to eat but the last 8 months have been stressful and instead of eating healthy I would have a 1/2 loaf of bread and a stick of butter for dinner, needless so say I packed on the pounds. I knew I was gaining weight in Aug and had planned on starting a diet then but that never happened so from then until now I was still eating unhealthy and the pounds kept piling on. I think to myself how stupid I could be to eat the way I was, it is easy to gain it is so very hard to lose. The weight didn't appear overnight and I don't expect it to disappear overnight but if I loss the amount every month that I gained every month in 8 months I will be back to being the weight I feel the best at. If it takes me a little longer that is OK I know I could do this, look at all the people in the same boat as me, we are all in this together and we are all cheering each other on. ;-) ;-) ;-) |
Trupeach, you would have had to be superhuman to eat differently over the last 8 months. You did what you needed to do at the time, which is exactly what you should have done. Now, you are at a place where you are doing what you need to do, which is commendable. You didn't get time to plan for what happened. You and Joyce were thrown into a situation that would cause even the most disciplined to eat, drink, and/or curse. You are a very strong, amazing lady. :-)

Well got on the scale today and lost 1.6 lbs. for a total of 14.2 lbs since 1/2/10. Wished it was 2 but I will take any loss that I can get. Congrats to everyone!! We are doing really good and are helping each other out. I love it!!!

Day off work after working 6 straight. Binged a bit today so I'm not looking forward to the scale in the morning. Then my DH (who is also dieting) brought home a loaf of home made sour dough bread that a co-worker makes! Boy was that slice good warmed up with the home made apple butter that another friend of ours had made.
I will get back on track in the morning. |
