Topic: RE: I am in the middle of a WOW moment...

Congratulations and enjoy!!! I love going into my closet and finding things I didn't fit in 2.5 months ago and now it is like I have a new wardrobe since I have all types of sizes in my closet!

Topic: RE: what is everyone eating and where

Well I haven't been to daring eating out as I had a bad experience at the beginning (it has been the only time I threw up). But I have been to a steak house and had a piece of steak and about 1/2 cup of black beans and I went on Sunday to a fish place and ate about 1 oz. of my husband's broiled fish and some smoked seafood spread on 2 crackers which was great! I guess it is just all about trial and error. Good Luck!

That is great news. Congratulations! I, too, got the closet-cleaning bug this weekend. I'm just now having my 30/32s get too big, and it's a wonderful (although quite foreign) thing. I boxed all the clothes that were too tight/small and will enjoy actually "opening" them when I go down to the next size. Plus, it makes finding something to wear so much faster.

I like the Blackened Tilapia Sandwich at Applebee's. I just ask for it plain (ie, just the fish). I also like their Weigh****cher's Onion Soup Au Grautin too. I'm not eating any red meat yet per my nutritionist, so I can't help you with that. Fish and chicken (as long as they're not fried) are good choices for me.

Congratulations! I am so jealous. I still weigh 210 but can't wait until I'm out of the 200's. It must feel awesome! Congrats! Patty

My favorite place to eat out now is Olgas Kitchen. I love to get the cup of broccoli soup with snackers. I have also had their white chicken chili. I can usually eat the whole cup and most of the snackers. Don't know if that is good or bad.

We went to TGI Fridays the other night and I was sick of soup and ordered a french dip. I had 2 bites (very small bites) and 4 fries and was totally stuffed. It was funny. I guess because the soup is well soupy that it goes down much easier but something like beef just stays in there, you know? Patty

Do you mean as in out to dinner? My dh and I went to Applebee's this weekend and I got the grilled shrimp salad - its on the Weigh****chers section of the menu and is only 4 points for the whole thing. Of course, I didn't even eat 1/4 of it. I ate SEVEN shrimp and a few bites of the veggies. (I was talking too much and not paying attention to how much I ate - I felt a bit too full after) The dressing is basically lemon juice. I also ate out every meal for a couple of days when I was at the casino in CT a few weeks ago. I ate shrimp or chicken appetizers. Got a turkey burger one night...1 egg and ham for breakfast. I have gotten a cheeseburger from Burger King once and took off the top bun...ate about 1/2 of the burger and bottom bun. Oh and I ate a slice of pizza at Chuck E Cheese this weekend...can you tell I have kids? When we go to the mall, I make my dh get the teriyaki chicken and I have a few bites. Oh - and I get the sugar free fudge bars from Dairy Queen if we go out for ice cream - YUMMY!! Jenn

Topic: RE: OCTOBER ROLL CALL.....

I'm sooo excited!!!

I have passed down under!!(the 200 mark) I am 98# post surgery and feeling great! I am eating veggies again and it's been strange. I crave different things than I did before. No sweets or bad stuff really, but I crave veggies and fruits. I get some weird cravings, like Asparagus sautaed in roasted garlic and oil, or fresh string beans steamed with almonds and fresh mushrooms!!!(before surgery, not my fav veggies!) I had one episode of throwing up when I ate chicken breast too fast one night.

Eating most anything in moderation and SLOWLY ( a hard thing for most of us to learn!!!). Refined sugar is a dumpers nightmare! Protein drinks, Please won't someone come up with an alternitive!!?? I need the shakes, as I don't really have an appetite w/o them. I HATE them!! I've had so many kinds and have had dumping from most of them. So hard to get back onto them when they scare ya from trying the next one! Have found one I can tolerate IF I eat something first!!!Not on empty stomach!! Some days I dump, most I don't w/it. The bars are so Yuky!!

I am buying clothes and loving it, wearing a little makeup and taking care of my skin now!!! My best day was the one where my neighbor(not a close one) missed me in the grocery store and then didn't recognise me when I had to physically stop her to say Hi!!! Janee
