Thanks for the welcome - have fun bowling :) This goal plan did wear on my mind but of course I did not fulfill my goals for yesterday but today will / is better! yesterdays update - ate dinner late, finished the evening with snack size halloween candy & no exercise but stayed within calorie amounts... Today's/ this evening's Goals: 1. exercise 30 minutes early in the day (done) 2. stay within 1200-1300 calorie limits & simplify calorie intake by making 2 meals the same or similiar components 3. make fish, rice & veges one dish meal & eat early 4. at 6:30 going to look at a used Sole e25 elliptical as I've heard they mega burn calories in no time at all (going to put me first instead of everyone else such as buying golf clubs, skiis, memberships etc for others that were never used) 5. return library audio book (the end of overeating by david kessler md -good read/listen with very interesting points about our food supply & the american diet !) 6. keep busy in the evening to avoid mindless eating (moved all candy to the basement rec room - out of sight = out of mind) 7. play a game, or read & snuggle with my 10yr old cause I start working nights next week :( GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE TODAY/TONIGHT WITH THEIR GOALS! UPDATE: it takes more than luck - it takes action & I only "acted" on mindlessly grabbing halloween snacks every chance I could get & then when the lady didn't answer her door after driving Forever to look at her elliptical - it was a chocolate self-pity poor me party! OK so moved the candy to the freezer since I cannot have it anywhere but & it is really hard to eat a frozen mini snickers bar! new day... |

good idea- I always have great goals in the AM but lose it by PM! This will make me accountable for the PM part. Goals for today: 1. eat within 1200-1300 cals 2. exercise for at least 30-60 minutes 3. do NOT let stress automatically cue my brain to reach for senseless, mindless foods (such as halloween candy) 4. go to bed early & listen to an audio book |

| Motivation | Ten lbs gone by Thanksgiving - anyone want to join me? | Nov 03 2009 18:54 (UTC) |

Hello - I would love to join in! I need to lose 50 overall but the initial 10 by t-giving would be fantastic! I'm an up & downer but I'd like to just go down & not back up again. To encourage this 50 lbs to be gone forever I am purchasing an elliptical machine this week for sure. Currently am going to be focusing on calorie counting & exercising daily even if only for 30 minutes. If anyone has any tips to share that would be great. |

| Foods | Things you put in a pita | Sep 29 2009 16:29 (UTC) |

Love love love all the replies so far so adding them to my pita possibilities... also I like the mini-wheat pitas from Wegmans (our local grocery) with 1 tbsp fat free cream cheese, 1 tbsp natural peanut butter & a sprinkle of ground flaxseed for about 160 cals. I had heard somewhere before when you mix the whole wheat with the peanut butter & cream cheese it forms a complete protein balance, & adding the ground flax balances the essential fatty acids. What I do know for sure is that it is yummy & satisfies for hours! |

| Foods | What's the best tasting caesar salad dressing? | Jul 01 2009 22:02 (UTC) |

wegmans grocery store from the deli if you are lucky enough to have one in the area, or Newman's lite caesar is very good & goes a long way in a salad since it is very flavorful even though it is not a cream based one. I just had a caesar with chicken! yummo |

thanks for all the support 'cause really without this group & these postings I would've totally given up when the scale kept going up & down & then back up again but long as the downs are more than the ups we are all doing OK - great job everyone! Stick with it! |

My vow is to stick with my PINK team BL11 losers & do whatever I can to lose the pounds! My head knows what I need to do & I need to "JUST DO IT"! most of all including: stay within my calorie limits by getting my a** off the couch at night & hitting the pavement or the treadmill or the healthrider - I am my own worst enemy & I have to stop sabotoging* myself by doing the same ol' thing every night!!! (example: I know nights are the worst time for me, eat great all day & then BAM - kids - homework - husband - cranky- the ol' donegoodallday/Icanhavethis routine along with can I cover up my stress by filling my stomach routine) so I VOW to get out of the house for a nice upbeat walk! perfect description from wiki *Sabotage is a deliberate action aimed at weakening another entity through subversion, obstruction, disruption, and/or destruction. |

| Recipes | Using Slim Fast for baking? | May 14 2009 14:27 (UTC) |
|
hmmm I use slim fast for smoothies but never thought about using it for a muffin... if you are looking for a healthy alternative, the butter & the sugar has to go but there is absolutely nothing unhealthy about cocoa... easy thing you might want to try is the brownie/pumpkin recipe. You take any boxed brownie mix & only mix 1 15 oz can of pumpkin with it - you can add healthy ingredients like sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, slivered almonds etc & then I make them in a mini muffin pan. Maybe you can add slimfast to that type of thing & make a breakfast muffin out of it? |
