DDD Update!!

Anyone got any good news?? I weighted in this morning down 4 lbs. I have been stuck on down 4 lbs now for a couple days..but hey I'll take it. Ironically, this isn't all that bad. I have made some changes in my diet, walked a little more and things seem to be working.... I have a huge hurdle though this weekend were food will be in abundance in front of my face...i am already plotting my strategy So how are you doin?

Morning! Congrats on the 4lbs!! I'm down about 3 as of this morning. I was hoping for more....but I'll take it! I've been trying to concentrate on getting in lots of protein and water. Unfortunately, the vending machine reached out and grabbed me yesterday afternoon and I ended up with a pack of cheese crackers. And someone force fed all six of them little buggers to me instead of just stopping at 2 like I planned. Made me dump too. I vow to do better today!

Morning. I sneaked on the scale this morning when it wasn't looking.. it said -3.. but I had my robe on too.. usually I'm nekkie. But.. I still don't trust the damn thing.. and expecting it to say +5 tomorrow.. I've jus****ched what I ate more this week.. kinda the same foods.. but no fast foods.. like chinese or McD's.. and not much for suppers.. which I usually don't anyways. Good luck on plotting your weekend strategy.. mine would be free for all. knowing I don't have to weigh in 'til Thursday but maybe that's why I battle the same 4/5 pounds each week HAVE YOU HEARD FROM LIZZIE.. did you go to her wedding?? got any pictures?? I miss her

No I didn't go to her wedding...ironically, we live about 5 miles apart and have never met....we just had the same dr for surgery. She went first and answered a ton of my questions about the surgery. No pics.... I am going to a picinic on Saturday and food will be plentiful and will be some of my favorites...I already told myself, go straight to the BBQ chicken and veggie trays.FILL UP ON THE CHICKEN!!..skip the potato salad, macaroni salad, baked beans, chips, pretzels, AND MY FAVORITE THAT PREZEL JELLO STUFF....and endless deserts.... It's gonna be tough..but...I feel that I am up to the task...I hope

what is the pretzel jello stuff??

My mom makes it and so does a ton of my family and freinds of family..it's like this raspberry/strawberry jello with a layer of whip creme stuff under the jello, with a layer of chopped pretzels under the whip creme, I guess it's the combo of the sweet jello whipcreme and the salty of the pretzel...it's the sheet... It's always the first to go at any picnic I've been too...I can't eat it now obviously....but...I can dreme right? 2 cups crushed pretzels 3/4 cup melted butter 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 3 tablespoons sugar 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 tablespoon grated fresh lemon rind 6 ounces berry jello 2 cups boiling water 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen berries (strawberries, blackberries, whatever sounds good to you!) Mix together the crushed pretzels, melted butter, cinnamon, and the sugar. Press into a 9"x13" pan and bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Mix together the softened cream cheese, Cool Whip, sugar, vanilla, and grated lemon rind. Spread on the cooled crust in pan. Dissolve the jello in the boiling water and mix in the frozen berries. Carefully pour into pan and refrigerate until set. Enjoy!

I love this stuff!! You could probably make a sugar free/low fat version that would still be good using sugar free jello, low fat (or fat free) cream cheese, sugar free cool whip.

I've had that before and it is yuuummmie.. tell her to make the lower calorie/sugar version.. with splenda.. s/f jello.. lite cool-whip..

you CAN do it and drink plenty of fluids.. the good kind

everytime i see makes me want an ice cream soda
