I don't know about moose stew but lots of men here are leaving for deer hunting trips.  My GF cooked huge pot of chili (and she put mushrooms in hers which I might try), meatballs and cho chip cookies for her hubby & son to take.

I'm cooking chicken fillets from BJ's club.  Also bought a jar of marsala sauce to put on them.

sun:  I hope R stays firm with the ex he is NOT discussing you and it's none of her business. 

IMO she wants to know if "he at least asked you", so she can decipher (1) you are the one who refused the hotel  or  (2) If he didn't ask you that tells her that HE doesn't want you at a hotel.

Her insisting to know is to gauge you and R's. relationship.

I don't think I'm weighing for awhile cause the holidays are heavy on my mind and my fridge is stuffs with extra foods.  And while buying Thanksgiving foods I pick up other things I really don't need, so I'm overeating.  And I refused to give up my Thanksgving eggnog.  But 2 ppl this week asked if I've lost weight.  For me I think they notice only every 5 lb loss.

nanny:  congrats on your loss.  You are doing so great.  I'm proud of you!

chris, you spend 15 every morning on your hair?  wow.  I run a brush thru mine and that's it.  In fact I shower, dress and leave the house in 15 min.  ok, so I'm a little late some morning.

hump day, thank goodness.  Only brought a sandwich today, so headed to my fav groc store for something else.  Trying not to overeat because of the dinner tonight.

ruadhh, ok thanks.  I like fast paced songs on my Ipod for walking and like old ones.

I read there wasn't a soundtrack for Ferris Beullers Day Off.

beb:  sneezing all over is the best way to guarantee you won't have uninvited visitors.  You're right, washing hands is the best defense.

FTF:  there was a young girl, maybe 13, on TV, who had a disorder and sneezed all day long.  Only time she didn't was when she slept.  But they were tiny little achoos.

nanny thanks for the recipe, looks good especially this am when I'm starving.

any kind of chips are bad.  Always have been, always will be.  If you can limit to a handful I would say don't deprive yourself.  My problem is I can't limit.  I have no "portion control".  What I use for dip is to run a tortilla (low carb) under water, then pop it into a 350 oven till crisp, 5 min maybe, then use that to dip.

Occasionally I buy a .25 bag of chips to calm a craving.  ususally that does it for me.

alice, I was going by the CC activity log.  Will check it again, but I look at it each time I go to Fla, 14 hrs minimum driving time.  I burn more than FTF I think cause I'm bigger.

Went to library for first time in over a year.  Now, have something to occupy me besides thinking of food.

yikes.  ok, I'm a lot bigger than FTF.  I burn 84 watching TV and 167 driving, per hr.  But sometimes I haven't lost just going by CC and possibly their numbers are off a little.

Today I definately had a deficit but am up a few oz at end of day. 

nancy welcome.  Many of us here are in the same boat, losing the same 10 lbs over and over.  yes, metabolism really slows down at this age doesn't it?  Hope you find support here to help you on your journey to better health.

sun, no reason you have to pretend by staying at a hotel.  This sounds like a showdown when spunk will have to be shown or she will mow you both down.  She has no right to dictate who stays in HIS house, or what he does.  She may not want him but she doesn't want anyone else to have him either.  Stay strong. 

Weight is stalled.  No ones fault but mine............and the elderly lady who throws chocolates on my desk.  4 pc this week.  of course I gobbled them up.

Didn't feel like weighing in........but promise to do so next Thurs.  As long as I think protein, protein protein, I do ok.  Just had a weak week.

nanny, congratulations.  You did GREAT.

amanda, I should do like you did and enter weight, instead of pretending, but I just hate when it's up, even a little which is normal now and then.

proudmom where are you?

Wednesday. Hump day. 

Helene:  I just looked at your pics and they are beautiful as I knew they would be.

sam:  I'm a big water drinker also.  Really miss it when I don't have it.

amandief:  do you freeze the stuff after you sautee it and put in bags?  I'm buying lots of eggs too.  I love them and fix a lot of deviled eggs and egg salad and if I'm being strict, I will eat one plain when hunger strikes.

weight this am is 183.8.  I had more carbs last night, but oh well.  I need to stock up on broth also.  Theres one instant kind I like thats not as bad on sodium.

I was 181 Monday on another weighin, but I do better on weekends.  During the week I get stressed and tired at work and will lose my mind if I don't eat, or I wouldn't get my work done when I'm dragging from being tired.  I'm still anxious to get down to the 170's............Also will make more cabbage soup this weekend.  That fills me up and is low cal.  I am putting ground beef in it this time and sort of following a stuffed cabbage soup recipe, but no rice for me.

chelsy:  seems I don't know anyone who hasn't had a problem with regaining weight.  It's the downfall of us all.  I lost, gained and lost.  Working on the last 10 at the moment.  I just follow this loosely and try to stick to a high protein, less processed foods, etc.  The thing that happens to some (and me) is that we try too hard.  Harder than what can be maintained as a permanent life style.  Life has so many temptations.  Birthday celebrations, weekends, holidays, vacations, etc.  So its not just losing, its learning how to deal with life.  Also our goals have to be realistic.  I don't know what the healthy range is for 5'7", but I would be happy with 145.

I've done well all week, but felt on the edge of a binge, so overate yesterday, hoping if I did it in a controlled way it would help.  Also couldnt find the eggs or shrimp I was looking for.  Small town shopping. 

is everyone ready to weigh in tomorrow?

A recent one was, "The uninvited".

I love all the Redbox horror movies.  I want 'Orphan' but it was gone. 

ftf:  thanks.  Just checked Chili's menu.  They are at a less busy end of the mall.  Looks like they may have a black bean burger which I like. 

I just am unable to drink any water at work.  Will make up for it this weekend. 

I was 181 at the beginning of the month and want to see SOME improvement for November.
