***Tuesday Weekly Weigh-In*** 9/4/07***

Oh and I bought a cookbook in light of the seasons about to change.. its called "Fix It and Forget it LIGHT.. for slower cookers" It is awesome. Highly recommend it.

Hi Melissa how are you girl?? I have been a little out of touch on the board also kind of a bad girl. This weekend I was busy and I snacked alot, 2 bbQ's too. AARRRGGG It shows in my wt which is a big fat goose egg, just like last week. I am going to plan tonight to go back to my platueau buster way of eating. Even if it's just for a few weeks. HW:280 SW:276 LW:179 CW:179 no loss no gain I have decided this year I am not baking, and very little cooking except for a few things for myself (sweet potatos and something healthy with pumpking in it(maybe a crustless pumpkin cheesecake). We are going to order a ready made meal at Bashas. Not sure on the company I am going to have yet, but last year I made a big deal about T-giving and nobody really was apprciative so heck with it this year no big fuss, and I have a good excuse " I don't feel like eating" Have a good week and talk to you soon...Erin

Hey Erin! I am doing good thanks for asking! I agree with the thanksgiving dinner.. you go girl!

Hi everyone, Melissa, thanks for the information on the Iced Coffee from McDonalds! I was shocked! I thought all the time I was drinking the coffee, I was sorta helping myself get in some extra fluids,were I have been having a problem getting enough in, But what I forgot to tell you was the size, I was getting a BIG 32 oz. vanilla iced coffee, and I looked up on the McDonalds site! I was shocked even more, it had 270 calories,43 carbs! So long, Vanilla Iced Coffee, it was nice for a week or two, I had no clue. But I will find some thing else I am sure. Hope everyone has a great weigh in, I get weighed by my doctor on the 24th of Sept., for my 9 month up-date. I love reading everyone's daily menu, I will try to post. Leatha

Hi Leatha! Yeah, stuff like that can really sneak up on you. I enjoy an iced latte like I said from starbucks.. its 110 cals for a large sugar free nonfat version. It has some sugars in it from the milk but that is it. I also make mine at home using milk or soy milk with an espresso machine and it makes all the difference in the world calorie/sugar wise.. you can buy davinci sf syrups at walmart in the coffee aisle or even starbucks sells theirs for 6.99 a bottle with a free pump included! Sugar free Cinnamon Dolce is like a buttery cinnamon and is ultimately delish!

First of all, I absolutely love your new avatar. Secondly, I am a very happy camper today. My current weigh is 200 Lbs, that's a total lost of 120 lbs and only 20 yeah 20 lbs to go. My stats are: SW: 320 LW: 202.5 CW: 200-I have not seen this in over 12 years...... to me.... As far as food desires for the upcoming season, I would have to say: Hallowen Candy. In the past, I had had a hard time getting thru it w/o eating it. So this is going to be a real test for my. I have no special craving for the season yet. Let's stay focused this week, I need to make to onederland soon. I am not going to weigh myself before next tuesday, wanna be pleasantly surprised. Beatriz

Aw thanks Beatriz! AND CONGRATULATIONS!! I remember that day so well and wow was it awesome.. May 15th to be exact! haha... yeah for you!!!! Keep up the good work!

I am so excited for you...i was at 202 last week and i went on vacation to las vegas....i went with good intentions to eat right .....and i didnt do all that well...i did do a lot of walking and did get all my water in BUT the carb monster took over for me....needless to say i am not at 202 right now...(204) hopefully it will go down once my body adjusts...often times flying makes me retain water...BUT i wanted to check on how you did ---i knew you were just about to hit Onderland and now you are right there! Congratulations ----i am so excited for you.....i need to get my big booty in gear and back on track! Good for you Miss B! Dawn

How was your vacation? Was this your first time in Vegas? I was there about 4 yrs ago and loved it. Would love to go back sooon. I am very excited about my weigh loss too, can't wait until tuesday so I can weigh in and hopefully be less that 200 for the first time in over 12 yrs. I know you can do it too, get yourself motivated and focused and you will see the difference real soon. Take Care, Beatriz
