Hi Denise, You are a trooper and always so positive! I'm glad your scale is moving for you. I on the other hand am still at 183, which is a good thing. This diet thing has got me going in circles, trying to decide what is the best way for me conquer the snacking demon and to maintain my weight. I think I do ok with my regular meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Its between those meals when I get hungry that I make a bad choice. The protein bars I got are really good (Luna Lemon is marvelous, I've got to try some of the other flavors), so that's a start. But the salty snacks is where I go wrong. Someone posted about sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds...I haven't thought to try those. Maybe I will. Yesterday's actual: Breakfast - 1/2 Toast, Egg, Turkey Sausage Lunch - Fish and Salad Dinner - Ground beef w/ cheese and 4 french fries Snacks 2 SF Popsicles 1 Oatmeal Cookie Luna Lemon Bar Baked Doritos *********************************************************** Today's Plan Breakfast - Turkey Sausage Lunch - Chicken and Salad Dinner - Not Sure Snacks Luna Lemon 100 Calorie Popcorn Yogurt SF Popsicle Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Protein First, Have a Great Day!

Hi ladies! I have nothing to post as far as plans or actuals because I've been sick as a dog with an intestinal virus. Yesterday I managed a cup of beef broth and a few saltines. I still feel queasy today, so whatever I eat will be very light. I weighed myself this morning and I was 167 - I know that number will go up once I start eating again, but it's nice to see! Hope all of you have a great day, and keep up the good work!!! Hugs, Nancy 167

Dare I even post? Sometimes it feels like people LIKE to make me feel crappy because I don't follow their "basics" regimen. Why does everyone want to measure my success based on their success? B~cottage cheese, slice bread with PB S~none L~tuna wrap, soup S~apple, cheese D~haven't figured this one out yet (low on groceries because we'll be out of town next week) S~granola bar Exercise~STILL haven't gotten with the program Pamela -134

Because some people just don't get it that's why. Please feel free to post what you ate, you are not being judged by the ones that support you. You have to do what works for you sweetie!!!!

Good morning, I have nothing to post either, my stomach is very quesy and food does not sound good at this point! But wanted to say Hi and keep up the great work ladies!!! Michelle

It's 2:40 pm in hot & humid St. Louis... so far I'm in compliance... Could this be the day I actually stick to plan!!! I certainly hope so!!! I'm headed to Chicago in the morning for a meet and greet with some folks from another board. I'm taking a stock of AchievOne and cans of tuna (easy stuff to lug around) in hopes I can be compliant all weekend too! You'd think since I'm meeting other WLS folks, compliance will come naturally. I'm striving for it!!! Will update again before night fall. Denise
