| How you all doing.....I weighed in at 148....I busted my buns yesterday to stay on count cause I was up for my weigh in...so yesterday I showed a 1 pound loss....I know it's not possible to do it again and eat normally (within my points) but it was good for one day just to jar my body...Sometimes I eat more points and sometimes I do less just to see if I can bring my body to attention...I guess it worked yesterday....I am trying to lose 10 pounds that I had already lost earlier in the year and just got careless about...so here I am working hard to correct a bad habit...I have a really hard time getting below 150 and maintaining it...seems my body just wants to stay there ....and everything I put in my mouth keeps me away from 145...well I'm 3 pounds and I will be back to 145....I wonder if I can maintain it? What are your goals for the week? |

| HI!! Ruthie My goal is to try and get rid of 2-3 pounds by Friday for my WI!! I do not want to pay again for being over the 2 pounds of my goal!I have lost 1 so far so maybe:) My problem is my scale and the CURVES scales and the WW's scales are all different! I have been in a funk for the whole month of March way too much stress in my life and I got some stomach problem that I was not sure if I was sick or stressed, I decided both!! So this week I am trying to play catch up before my WI?? Will it work?? My mantra this week is: 'You can only control what you can control, and you have to handle all the rest with grace' I read it, I say it but why do I not do IT!!! |

| Here is a recipe I concocted and it was fabulous.... My WW's dinner was just fabulous.....I made Black Bean enchilada stacks..... I sauteed some onion and garlic and then ...added 1 chicken breast chopped with 1 can of black beans including liquid and some pico de gallo probably about 2/3 cup.....and just cooked it slowly so the flavors could blend...I put a little of the juice from the bean concoction on the pan and stacked corn tortilla, bean stuff.....1 piece of 2 per cent cheese...another tortilla and more of the bean stuff and poured some of the juice from the pan over it and then I baked in hot oven till very hot and cheese was bubbly...removed from oven, plated and covered with chopped lettuce and tomato....It was just yummy.... I counted it as 6 points... 2 corn tortillas = 2 points This was my total serving and My Beloved husband ate all of the rest...He thought it was fabulous too...I did use sharp cheddar on his.... |

| yes I just forgot to add it in there...I a slice of 2% cheese = 1 on mine.......just forgot to count it when I added it up...that's a real nono mistake isn't it.... |

| To me it is no big deal~~it is protein:) Does 2% cheese taste good??? I can not eat alot of dairy anyway, I buy soy yogurt now and try to get it that way so far it is working. OH and here and there (like today) I drink a soy latte for the dairy~~~but I think they count soy products different like they are more points than reg milk:( So soy is my nono that I forget to count :) |

| Hey LL...well let me put it this way...It's better than no cheese...I didn't like the fat free cheese so I tried the 2% and it is better...I don't even use it very often but like with the enchiladas...you just gotta have some cheese...the one slice was actually enough to give it the taste I needed...I love cheese...I mean it is one of my all time favorite things to eat or munch on...My dear husbands too... I checked my journal to make sure I had counted it for the day in my points and I had actually counted it as two points so I went and got the package and checked it to be sure and it was one point...I have a bad habit because I have been on the program so long of "guessing" point count or "knowing" and not verifying the point count and I'm often wrong...Gotta clean up my act because I am trying so hard to get below 145 by memorial day and my body is soooo resistant... |

| I am bad I decided not to go to my WI @ WW's tonight:( I weighed at CURVES and am 2 pounds of my goal I set at WW's so I am safe and back on track:) It is a bit of a drive to my mtg place and I would not have stayed for the mtg~~~so I am wondering why do I want to go??? I am trying to decide if I should keep going or just do the plan and keep on trying to stay with in 2 pounds of my goal?? I would like to get down to 145 or lower but am begining to think it is impossible for me, I do not want to spend my days always thinking about my food intake:( The more time I spend thinking about it, the more I seem to crave things that I should not have:( I love the core plan and it is good eating for me and simple to follow so I am just going to go with it and see if maybe I can lose a couple more pounds, I think the trick is to up my exercise:) Confession time~~~~I was up about 5 pounds at the beginning of the month~~~but as I said before I am back on track! |

| All, Sorry - work has kept me crazy and have not been able to write. Doing reasonably ok, been plateaued, but let's be honest, I have not really exercised, and if I didn't drink so much wine, I could lose faster :-) However, I went on my cruise early in April, and lost a half pound! I made very good choices, which you can do now on a ship. Plus you know, when you've been eating WW for a while, you really can't eat too much rich food without getting a stomach ache. So I want to keep it up, therefore I am trying this week to start going back to the gym that I have been paying for, for years, but because of work or commitments with DD, never went. Well I just can't lose without the exercise to go with it. Hope I can stick with it this time! Last night I made a fagiole soup that was in a pamphlet they gave us. And I bought the wrong beans, not soup beans but pinto beans, which are like refried beans in consistency. I had also bought the 'flat out bread' they talked about in last week's meeting. Ever tried it? It's great. So I put the beans in, one slice of lacy swiss cheese, and lots of salsa. Heated in microwave, and yum!!!! A low point burrito! Below is a link to the flat out web page. I'll try to write more often! It is helpful to chat to you guys! |
