Hi Safina.. (cute name by the way) ;)

I eat MCCann's daily..it's really helping me to drop my weight. It doubles in size when cooked because of the added water.

You've been dieting without much sugar....the wine would hit ya fast! :)

Oh good you are home! :) Here is a link that will help you a bit Sandra: http://www.the-gi-diet.org/lowgifoods/ Low GI = 55 or less,
Medium GI = 56 - 69,  High GI = 70 or more.  Raw carrots = 16, Boiled carrots=41.  All carrots are low Gi..eat them to hearts content! :) Most vegetables are not a worry..

One little cookie is not a no-no.. it's just a treat..couldn't have been more than 3-4 points...you have to treat yourself sometimes.. Today I had sugarfree ice cream..you just gotta treat yourself occassionally..the most important thing is just to stay on your W.W. points/or calorie allotment..whatever way you are counting. Your day looks excellent! I see such a difference in what you are doing compared to your menus you shared with me the other day! :)

PS: drink alot of water to flush out yesterdays Kung Pao sodium so you hopefully get a nice surprise on the scale tomorrow morning! :)

(((Sandra))) Never say never sweetie.. you gotta always keep trying! Sometime we hit roadblocks but there are always ways around them. I've had some hard knocks in life too but you just gotta pick yourself up, dust yourself off and know that you are ALWAYS worth the work! :) 

Day 6 of Weight Watchers..down 4 lbs and finally back in control. Oh does it feel good to finally be back on track. Makes me wonder why we always give up and never finish the process. This time I really pray I am able to stay strong and keep going in the right direction!

Oh yikes that's alot of snow! Be careful out there! We are due to have thunderstorms today..kinda unusual... I think I am about ready for spring myself although my body sure isn't! EEK! I really haveta step it up a notch!

Hi Change! So glad you had a good time in Cancun.. I betcha that 3 lbs is just from sodium and flying.. give it a week and I bet it's gone!

Hey Jc....I'm not really getting anywhere either..I do good all day at work then come home and look for something to eat...I can't seem to control my afternoon hunger...

Well shoot, sorry we missed your birthday Muns! Hope you had a great day! Lol, you are still funny as ever I see! :)  Hey, at least you are catching yourself before you fall too far out of reach and end up in another pants size so that's a good thing! We'll all do it again, we can do it!

Hi Caroljoy! That's so great you like yourself again..it's terrible to be down on ourselves! I wish you success, you did it before you can do it again! I like your gradual approach better than jumping in too harshly and starving your body! For me, it's got to be upping exercise more so than changing diet except for cutting portions a small amount. I've crashed my metabolism one too many times in my life to risk doing it again.. "slow and steady wins the race!"

Wheeeee! Congrats Munsey on getting your motorcycle license! That's so cool! :)

Nooooo 'if's" Jc! We're doing this! :)

Nice to see you Muns! I can certainly understand the brace causing anxiety for Robby! He is in my prayers! I LOVE chocolate too, you better not be munching on wabbit ears from easter! :) What is your new job going to be? I didn't see any mention of it in your journal! Whatever it is I hope that you will love it!

JC...ahh, the ice cream pull. I can't figure it out either sweetie. In fact I allow myself some but I buy Sugar Free/Lowfat so I figure that's something! Have you tried any of them?

Em: Hey you! Snacks are the culprit for so many of us. I do great with my meals, it's nighttime snacks that always have been my downfall too! I agree we don't to be stuck here in six more months so the snacks must either go or be replaced with diet friendly ones! :)

Hi Dee..

I was just saying this morning that I can't continue to compare my weightloss of the past with where I am at today. Time changes things and how much we weigh..health, stress, medications, menopause...we only have this day to go in a forward motion. You're right it's a lifelong journey...Congrats on the 6 pounds!! :)

Loven..."no U turns"..I love that! :)

Thata girl JC!! I do remember last summer and we are again going to make it happen this summer again! (here and at my new place!). (If anyone needs the address to my new forum just PM me and you are welcome to join us!).

Day 2 for me and I am 100% on my plan! *beaming with joy*
