Morning everyone. My kids have been bugging me about taking them swimming an Ive been wanting to go to. When I was younger it was a buck to get into the pool. Now they have the nerve to charge 4 to 6 bucks a piece. There is a new water park opening up so it will cost me $18 a day to take the kids. I need to make a friend with a pool. or get my own haha In a moment of weakness I ate red velvet cake with cream cheese icing.... home made and it was delish. Only one more kids bday to go and temptation out the window. Why cant one of my kids ask for fruit salad on there bday LOL. At least there is no more cake I caught my son with a fork and the cake platter just finishing off the last bite. I never get picked for jury duty. Something thats happened in my life always has to do with what the trials about and they dont want me. Maybe thats a good thing. Eat Well.

Pumped up for weigh in tomorrow.... unless the scale really is out to get me. Ive got a pair of size 8 pants in plain site all hours of the day as my motivation. My blood sugar crashed big time today cause I missed a meal. I will never do that again. You all are such an inspiration for me. So thank you everyone. Wishing the best for everyone weigh in tomorrow. |

Woohoo water weight is going byebye. Karen you look great(wrapper wise LOL) Awesome... and that hair cut looks great on you too. Im a big fan of wash and go styles. Im glad that the super high hair phase is gone. EEekk casino. I never had a green thumb but practice made perfect and now I can garden with out the plant deaths. Hhhmmm wonder if its the same with gambling LOL. Glad you won Pam. Hey Rachel you can still pie it and stay south beach friendly. Fiber one cereal makes a great gram cracker crust. heehee get your fiber in.... while low in cals. Some one needs to come and get my sons Bday cake ASAP. I have resisted temptation but starting to think about having a piece. which will lead to more and more. yup need to leave the house for a while.... maybe take the kids in the neighborhood a treat |

Good morning ladies. Im am so glad that there is good news going around. Ive just about had it with Mr scale. Its says 201 lbs this morning I know that cant be cause that means I went over 4000+ every day and I didnt.... must be water weight or something.... sure is depressing to see though. Im turning up my nose at mr scale and focusing on eating less salt. |

Those carb cravings are back again and I cant sem to get a firm hold on them. Lucky I have a healthy 4th of july BBQ planned out. Hope our guests dont mind the lack of potato salad and rich desserts I normally make. I saw that crystal light came out with Popsicle's. Has anyone here tried them? Im Apple shape.... to bad we cant choose were our fat deposits go. Wow Jayne you look great...HOTTIE in the HOUSE!!! LOL |

Jumping In to say hi. Feel like Ive been out of the loop forever. I need another week under my belt to get back on track. Ive been out of town for a while and rarely had time to jump on line. I had around a hundred emails to sort through. Why is it when your on vacation the whole eating right thing just flys right out the window bye bye see ya later. and then welcomes back 10 pounds. not the welcome home gift I was looking for. Back to doing heavy yard work and the ever friendly broccoli on my plate. I need to go back a couple of pages to catch up. Later!!! |

Good morning ladies well almost afternoon. Im staying away from my scale for the weekend. It hasnt been very kind even though Im doing everything right. Yup Pam my hubby is a truck driver more specifically a cattle hauler. my three year old kept me up half the night and I dont really have back up. I have the upmost respect for single moms who work outside the home and deal with the rest of this stuff. I have facebook and a myspace. holy cow karen you are on a roll. Jayne is angel I agree!!! Rachel woohoo for meeting your goal. Its so hard to get the sodium out of food even if you dont add any extra its still there. Della I used to live in Kansas and we were always having to take shelter during the season. That area along I-35 is a bad place to live. Took me awhile to get used to the fact that there are no basements in Texas. Jayne I never have been able to enjoy brussle sprouts. I like cabbage but the brussles are to strong for me. Do you cook them a certain way? |

Good morning everyone. Had a great weekend and stayed on target. Husband was home and both of us ate really well. I have a goal and its kind of silly. I want to weigh less than my hubby. He's down to 185 now( how he can take off weight so fast makes me crazy) all he has to do is say he wants to lose weight and within a week hes down 5 lbs grrrr. |

Jaynes back YEAAAAAA LOL. Sounds like your recovering well. Yep had lots of storming but no rain. Just lightining thunder and wind. Ate lots of greek food when I lived in Germany. Nice resturant about a half mile from from our house we would walk down the hill to get there and back up(back then not for weight control but trying to avoid DUI LOL). LOVED IT. Havent found a place thats as good yet. |

Oops I missed weigh in......196.... Woohhoo. Im seeing progress!!!! Nanny.. finger and toe injury's are the worst...hope it heals fast. Congrats on the low bp. Rachel on your way back down. Great job. Even lost water weight can motivate us. Della hope the new water pill works out. Dealing with the up and down of water weight is depressing I agree. LOL thats the first time Ive ever heard of someone liking the doc's scale. Jayne miss ya bunches!!! Hope post op recovery is going well. Any chance Kiki is around to help out? Ill be happy to see you back on your feet. |

Hi ladies. ***dances around singing*** school is out school is out yeaaaaa!!! Boy that last week of school was nuts... lots of ceremonies to go to and the kids going crazy when there at home. Ive had time to log food but no time to chat. Doing okay here with south beach but Ill weigh in on thursday with everyone else. Dusted off the treadmill and getting my walking in. Now if I can just keep at it. Im back to this yoyo thing and I dont like it one bit. Rachel yum bufffalo meat I used to get it when I lived in kansas as a kid. there was a game reserve and they have to thin the heard occasionally. the butcher shop sold it along with osterich meat(never had that). heehee ive lost glasses before too ..left them at the doctors office so I went back to get them a week later(when I remembered that I left them there) and someone had grabbed mine by mistake and left me theres. It was not the same perscription I dont know how they didnt notice. Pam my oatmeal always has vanilla and cinnamon in it no cals but lots of flavor. I to am a friuit lover ....but If I eat pasta its a bad trigger for a really bad day or evening. pizza is a down fall for me ..... Ive had it twice this week and I bloated really bad so no more for me. Good luck everyone with this weeks weigh in!! |

Good morning all!! I have a terrible sweet craving this morning and not sure why... as long as I dont feed it Ill make it LOL. I made the turkey burgers from that show cook yourself thin and they were great... and super easy(green chilis are a staple at my house) I did add sliced onion in to the meat to add moisture. Mine were more like mini meatloaves I guess rather than burgers cause I didnt put them on a bun and I baked them in muffin tins for portion control. Jayne are you changing your goal weight? I must have missed something LOL I seem to remember when we first met that you were aiming for 180-185...... your there haha. Della Ive got the gardening bug too but Im more centered around fruit and Veggies. This is our first year with multiple crops and have plans to expand next year since its going so well. Mr Moose was hungry I guess LOL. Ice sounds like your doing something right. Some times its not all about how much you weigh. You might have just lowered you body fat percentage and thats a great thing. Keep up the good work |

Good morning beachers. Ive been MIA here cause dealing with sick kids all weekend then of course I caught what they had. Still feel bad but not like yesterday(stomach flu). I have no appetite whatsoever. Taking this as a sign to buckle down. Have any of you caught that show Cook yourself thin? I havent tried any of the recipes yet but they sure look good. Pam that hospital food reminds me of the so called healthy food they serve at my kids school. most of the food is breaded and fried then frozen and sent out then the school bakes it and then says that they dont serve fried food to the kids. It must be a cost thing..... I know there budget is low. Have a great day everyone!!! |

Hi everyone. Im skipping weigh in today. I had an affair with a pint of ben and jerrys yesterday. Ive avoided the scale this last week. My mother in law wants to go to a waterpark and that right there put the thought of a swim suit in my mind. EEEKK not ready for that yet but summer is almost here and I need to be ready. so far so good today and shrugging off the bad from yesterday. |

Good morning everyone. I weigh in at 195.5..... a half pound I wish it were more but Ill take what I can get. Has anyone been watching.. cook yourself thin..... on lifetime network. The food looks really good.. though I wonder if I could make the same things and just use soy milk or almond breeze. Do you think it will taste the same. I quit smoking a little over 2 yrs ago and I still use NRT sometimes to stop a rush to go buy cigarettes. Nanny a thought about that Ham.......maybe its all the sodium. I stopped buying big hams for that reason. Way to go Bev!!! I know you ll be at 163 next week. I have the hardest times on the weekends. Sometimes just leaving the house helps. YEA for shopping. Oh some advise is needed....Ill be out shopping for an exercise bike this weekend for my hubbys Bday. What should I look for in one. |

Hi all. My mothers day was wonderful but high in carbs. My 9 yr old cooked for me(with a little assistance) Which was so sweet...... spaghetti and tomato sauce was the menu and I ate everything on my plate which was huge. Then I was surprised by a cake she had talked her grandma into buying for me(she had it hidden in her room LOL.... how she got it in the house without me seeing is a mystery). Yup a carb overload. I had a hard time yesterday with recovering but feel better today and in control. |

Good morning everyone!!! Had family over this weekend. Baked cookies. Ate cookies. Ate more cookies. Sent the rest of them home with them. Woo hoo the cookies are gone. I must have been crazy to think I could only have one or two. Welcome aboard Lisa .....you will do great!!! Della Congrats on the Grand daughter. Is she the first one? Water is good ...I found myself drinking more and I just thought it was to keep my mouth and stomach busy. Im a classic overeater so any thing to keep me from putting to much food in my mouth is a good thing LOL. Have a great day everyone! |

Good morning!!!! Welcome Brittney and Della. Brittney... I was looking over a bunch of recipes and you could think about trying stuffed lettuce wraps for phase one breakfasts. I dont like cottage cheese but Jayne likes it. Jayne... it just keeps raining here which is great for my new garden but the kids are going batty cause its to sloppy outside to play. Della.. ya for no counting carbs just eat as many vegetables and lean protein you want till you get full. With all the low glycemic carbs it happens faster than you think. Good luck with phase one I know the first couple of days are rough so keep that sugar free jello handy(i used it in place of fruit) Ice... good luck on that exam. Im sure you'll enjoy the break that's coming I know some of my friends are looking forward to it. Let me just say that SAM'S CLUB is the DEVIL. Im stocked up on all sorts of healthy food but my bank account is screaming at me LOL. |

Good morning beachers...I had a good weekend but like bev I did hit up the wine with my hubby. hoping that it wont foul up the entire week. We had one hell of a wind storm here last night and I kept waking up to make sure that my kids trampoline was still in the back yard..... even though I chained it down after the last mishap I dont want it to take a trip into my neighbors house again.

Good morning all. Feeling so much better because that stomach ache thing is gone. Future... your so close to your goal but you can give it a try. It is a lot of water weight lost in the first phase but processed carbs can make me bloat and giving them up totally for a week or two makes me feel better. Ice I know how you feel on the its good to be back thing ....Ive missed this. You will get there.. the last pounds are the hardest |

Im on board with tomorrows weigh in. I do feel a certain amount of shame for gaining back almost everything I had lost. But knowing Im back here means Im turning it around. That stomach ache is becoming chronic around the same time of the day. Thinking it has to do with the extra fiber Ive been consuming. My neglected body just isnt used to the healthy stuff anymore. That had better change LOL. |
