What a great weight to wake up to Bee!  All this time, I assumed you were recently out of high school college student.  In my profile's skinny pic I was 28 and 145 and was feeling thin - I can imagine how great if feels to hit the 120s.  Now youve two thin sisters in the family!

I wouldnt feel vain about the mirror Rachael - if I weighed as little as you, I be running naked in the streets!  Well, maybe walking - dont like when stuff jiggles but I probably wouldnt care. :P I remember when people went on talk show to complaining of a sister or friend who dressed like a 'hoochie' (I believe they were called).  Id think, "Yeah, need a little more clothes'" until that one who'd say how she lost 100+ lbs and Id think, "You go girl!" LOL

Never been one to throw it all out there but wont be hiding in oversized clothes when the weight drops, especially since I worked for it. 

 

BTW I also posted this in the lounge but from my profile, would should I choose the photo with label 1, 2 or 3 to email to my mom?   

 

Thanks guys.  Theyre actually just dollar store reading glasses but people would suggest I push them up, saying that looked better and it doesnt really much affect long distance. 

My mom hasnt seen me 4 years.  Shes 88 and in FL.  It would not have been good for her to see me when I was over 400 lbs and immobile.  She worries about nothing so I didnt want her concerned for me.  In fact, when anyone says there going to visit they usually give a later date so they can arrive without her worrying herself sick that we'll get there okay.  That or surprise visits = she's in assisted living.

Tonight headed to Alice's - going to bring the head of cauliflower (how weird does THAT sound) so I can show her the popcorn thingie Ive told her about.  Since she'll be cake decorating, will be good to have a snack too!

BTW Ive been wondering about Angie and Kathryn.  The last we heard, there skin was acting up and I think they were deciding whether to go for the steriod medication.  If so, hope it wasnt to rough on them - I never knew the connection between it and weight gain  - so unfair.

Hi all, I'm doing South Beach (again, I've done it many times) but looking at my daily analysis I don't think I'm getting enough fiber. I think that I should get 30-35 grams p/day but I'm only getting 25 or so a day. I have 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed and 1 tablespoon psyllium husk every day in my protein shake, and I eat a ton of veges.

Any suggestions on how to get more? I'm not a big fan of taking pills. It's not that I can't, its just I find it difficlut to remember and do it consistently!

Thanks!

 

Happy Sunday guys and Hi Amber!  Fun at Alices, with the cake decorating although I just watched.  Had a taste of the frosting - wouldnt have if it werent cream cheese based.  Made her the popcorn cauliflower which we snacked on.  She had a grapefruit which she peeled like an orange and I decided to add them to my grocery list.

Rachael, funny how some sweet cravings can be!  My mom had me at 42 so growing up it was almost a grandmother situation.  Im a worrier too though so hoping I dont get worse as she has. 

My ex is moving into the from 30min away to the complex behind my house and my daughters moving in with him.  Will spare you details but it will be a moment to exhale for me - long overdue.  He picked her up today and Im at such peace.  Also, FINALLY willing to tackle the condition of my house now knowing it can actually stay clean.

edited to correct popcorn chicken to cauilflower

 

mmmm.... cream cheese frosting!

(happy sigh)

(Don't mind me, just lurking)

MOLLY

Last night I used a chilis card for takeout.  I got the asian chicken lettuce wraps - theyre lower cal (330) then items on their 'Guiltless Grill' and I wouldnt have known except for using HEALTHY DINING FINDER.  They were amazing!  Bibb lettuce - thats a trip!

Rachael, your still doing great fighting that scale and 2oz - did you try exhaling? :D  Way to watch the stress Bee - college pressure is serious stuff. 

Didnt realize it was Pattys Day.  Probably no coincidence cabbage was on sal but forgot it was coming when I bought some which I can cook tonight.  I usually avoid it as I tire of it before finishing it but found a really small head of it that will work fine. 

Happy BDay shout out to you Molly - you cream cheese frosting lucker :P. 

Somebody needs to go wake up Sarah!

The left over sesame ginger sauce came in handy.  Its listed as 20cal per Tablespoon so put some in a pan, added shredded cabage and some pregrilled chicken.  I normally dont dare experiment this way but it came out great.

Then I ended up late into the morn, which as before finds me hungry by a certain point but did cottage cheese thankfully although some other things were looking tempting that would not have been good choice.

Had thought to do a mini grocery run and wishing I had since its pouring and should be tomorrow.  Forget waking Sarah up - Im coming round to wake you all up! :P  Good morny!

Rachel, we are going to be in Ireland for just a week (I wish it were longer). Thankfully, the jet lag never seems to bother me. My husband is a little nervous because he's never been overseas (I have been to visit my family in Ireland many times and I lived in London for about 6-7 months). 

So, my husband's cousin is getting married two days after we get back from Ireland (June 29th) and I'm excited to get a new dress!! All my dresses are too big, so I am going to wait to buy one until the beginning of June (when I should be at maintenance). Also, I think the wedding is a good way to make sure I watch my calories when I am in Ireland. Double yay!

I have been so hungry the last two days, but I think it is because I am sooo tired!! I need to take a nap instead of snacking! It's wet and cold here; I'm sick of Michigan!!
