MONDAY WEIGH IN!

You are absolutely right Marge....I will definitely not be a stranger and will begin to use my "knoggin" when I eat again...it is easy to stray on so hard to get back on track.  Thanks for the encouragement and see you next week! 

Good Monday Marge!  Sounds like your Easter was a good time, I had my brother and his 2 very large teenage boys over and a couple of friends, I made an untradition meal as well, Well for us it was spanish food my DH was excited all day to eat lol It was a kid in a candy store! lol  Everyone loved it except one of our friends who said beans just wasn't his thing lol  I made a sugar free strawberry Mouse cake for desert and everyone loved it! My Brother was supposed to bring home made cinnamon rolls but backed out the night before so I had to scramble for a quickie but it was good.  Congrats on that new baby!  I myself am not sure how I will react when the calls come my way lol  The scale was pretty good to me with Easter and all and my total lack of exercise last week.  Heres the damage  Highest =392 Preop=344 Last week= 259.5 This Week=257

HEY ESTELLE,       WHEN I THINK OF SPANISH FOOD I WANT FRIED ICECREAM LOL... MAN I MISS IT.. UGH...THAT CAKE SURE SOUNDS GOOD ALSO YOU MADE... I LOVE STRAWBERRY ANYTHING.BUT CANT LIE..... THE HOMEADE CINNAMON ROLLS SOUNDED BETTER LOL..... AW THE SMELL.... GOOD JOB ON THE TWO POUNDS!! HUGS MARGE

Morning Everyone! Congrats on the exciting news Marge, that is so wonderful! I for one am sooo thankful that Easter is over, I am so tired of making chocolate bunnies that if i see another one I might scream...lol Beginning Weight- 303 Surgery Weight- 295 Last Week- 196 This Week- 190 6lb loss woohoo! Have a great week everyone!

HOLY MOLY Lori!!   Thats a great loss this week...whats your secret?   You must be thrilled.  I may need to make a few changes to avoid this 1-2 lbs...I want bigger numbers!  LOL  Can you think of anything you did differently this week?  Congrats!!  HUGS  Jeanine

Thanks Jeanine, no secrets here, i jus****ch my intake, drink tons of water, and work my butt into the ground at the gym 4-6 days a week. As far as this week goes, I have been really stressed out getting the shop ready for Easter and making the chocolate bunnies and such, so that may be part of it. ~Lori

I can do without the added stress LOL  but I know I have to get more water in.  Most days I easily take in 50-60 oz but I think it may have to be more!  I am careful with the intake and some days I swear I barely take in 1000 calories. I was told to be around 1200. Thats alot of food for me.  I am happy for your huge number....hopefully I can mirror it soon!!  HUGS  Jeanine

HEY LORI,         LOOK AT YOU LOSING SIX POUNDS!! JEEZ, AND OVER A HOLIDAY LAYERED WITH FOOD EVEN.... THAT IS SO GREAT! THOSE CHOCOLATE BUNNIES HAD TO BE GOOD I BET! HUGS MARGE

Thanks Marge! My MIL's a crappy cook so she makes the holidays easier for me to deal with! lol I did almost have a jellybean breakdown, but luckily the store that we were at didn't have the ones I was craving so I was able to abstain. We have owned our shop for 3 years now and I haven't eaten chocolate since, making it full-time killed any pleasure it may have given me...lol The smell of it makes me sick to my stomach and has for the past couple of years.

Ok, I'm on the wrong career-path then, time to make chocolate!
