Hi Marcia!!! I miss you.
Let me tell you about this picture, when I walked in the Peace Park and saw this huge statue the first thing I did was dropped to the ground and started doing pushups to get blood to my biceps so I could do a muscle shot, then I had people watching me and when I did the pose I got a lot of are you a body builder questions as if my fat behind looks like a dam body builder. LOL.

Recently its been lots of air poped popcorn as my carbs but it is time to getback to low carb once again. The inches are down. I'll be on the scale later today. I know where I want to be. The struggle cotinues so its a move to Atkins induction level carbs. No more popcorn. No more sf drink mixes. Carbs under 20g.
C ome August I've got to weigh in at my wls and endocrinology follow ups and I want to be well into the "normal" bmi range mid day and fully dressed. We know how to do it. We have the tools. Now I have to get it done. No mercy and no excusess.
TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH AND BE ACCOUNTABLE:
WIN! You are a loser over the past week
LOOSE! You are a gainer over the past week
DRAW! No loss no gain over the past week. Is it a frustrating slow down in your wl? Or, perhaps its an infuriating stall? Or, is this mainting and holding steady, no problem?
Make this week a good one. Think about what went well and what was not so nice recently. Consider what works for you and what is counter productive. Make a plan. Work your program.
...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

LV'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Early out my focus was to eliminate the carb desire as much as possibl;le. Once that carb mmonster is out it it hard to get back under control. I've heard BAF vets repeat ths and I agree.
I also like pb2 but it does not tast exactly like peanut butter. I love it but if you are a true pb fan there is really no diffference in calories with other substitutes. I take pb2 and us i to stretch regular chunky pb into a larger serving using 1 tbsp bb to 2tbsp pb2. Same calories but over 50% more pb.
