Hi Lisa, Sounds like you're still on track - good for you! I"ve been so busy at work, so I'm just quickly popping in. Here's today's menu: B: Eggbeaters, V-8, and coffee with skim milk S: zucchini with lemon hummus L: leftover sirloin steak with grilled asparagus S: light Jarlesberg cheese with sliced almonds D: grilled chicken, tossed salad S: SF Jello with lite cool whip. Hope everyone has a GREAT day!! Hugs, Nancy

Well I made it through the graduation party OK. I did have some chicken that was breaded (a no-no on the SBD) and a couple of pretzels and a small piece of cake, but not the icing. Aside from those things, I stuck to plan. I weighed this morning and was 175.0, so I'm OK. I was proud of myself that food wasn't the focus for me yesterday. There were so many times that I would have plans to go to a party and totally obsess about the food and just eat constantly once there. That didn't happen yesterday and it's such a relief. Maybe I do have the ability to eat normally..... Here's today's plan: B: Eggbeaters with 1 slice turkey bacon, V-8, coffee with skim milk S: lite Jarlesberg cheese L: tossed salad with some chicken strips S: zucchini chips with hummus D: sirloin steak on the grill, grilled asparagus, broccoli S: No sugar added fudgesicle, jello with lite Cool whip Hope everyone's having a great weekend!! Hugs, Nancy

Hey Lisa - good food choices and it looks like you're eliminating snacking - I think it's really showing in your weight loss! I'm SO proud and happy for you!! I did well again yesterday, I'm feeling better too so glad about that. I was 174.8 this morning....woo hoo - getting close to my mini goal of 172 and within less than 10 lbs of my final goal of 165! I have my neice's graduation party today - there will be healthy choices that I can make, so I just have to behave myself. I may allow myself seconds, but will really try to stay away from the sugary stuff which is poison to me. Breakfast: 2 soft boiled eggs with a 1/2 slice of whole wheat bread, V-8 and coffee with skim Snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack: I guess whatever I choose at the party I'll let you know how I did either later tonight or tomorrow morning depending on what time I get home tonight. Hugs, Nancy

Lisa, you are doing so great and staying so strong!! to you!!! Doesn't it feel good to be in control??? Hey, I hope the foot gets better soon!!! I've been doing well diet-wise. I was 175.0 this morning!! That's the lowest I've been in a couple of years I think. My goal is 165, but my mini-goal is 172. My abdomen has been bothering me the past couple of days. I feel like I'm going to explode and I get pains in my abdomen especially after I eat . I'm fine when I get up, then I eat my eggbeaters and it feels like my abdomen starts to fill up with gas and it rumbles. I took a Gas-X pill today and hope that will at least ease it a bit. It gets very painful and then I walk around and it's a bit better. Sometimes it hurts so much it takes my breath away. I'm hoping it will go away soon or I'll have to go to the docs. I don't have much of an appetite when it's hurting like that. Later on in the day it seems to go away, so I don't know what's going on. Last night I ate a couple of pieces of chicken breast - it was a little dry and it ended up my pouch not liking that and I got the foamies and threw up a couple of times. That hasn't happened in awhile either! Anyway, here's today's plan: B: Eggbeaters with lf cheese, V-8, coffee with skim milk S: squash slices with lite Laughing Cow cheese wedge L: my famous lettuce wraps S: cheese stick D: taking my dad to a Jewish deli for his birthday. I'll probably split a tongue sandwich, (yes, that's right, I said tongue!) with my son - I'll just eat the meat. S: SF jello with some lite Cool Whip Tomorrow is a big party for my niece's graduation. I'll try and make good choices - I don't want to undo all the good I've done!! Hugs, Nancy
