What's on your menu today (Thursday) RNYers?

If I could just get the scales to cooperate with me haha! Weighing back in on Monday so hopefully these last two weeks will be kind. Fingers crossed!

Hi everyone!! Today is my Friday-- woohoo! I've got my first ever mammogram tomorrow and some other tests. I ordered new undies because Victoria's secret had a buy 3, get 3 free sale, and I also had a coupon for a free one. I had to force myself to get rid of 7 older pairs. I still had undies size 22-24 in my drawer. WTF?

Accountability- the after work/before dinner time span will be the DEATH of me. I'm like a cow grazing in pasture. Its better, but I go through phases of it being off the walls though. I have go-to's in place, but sometimes they aren't enough. Maybe when school starts and I have to help the kids with their homework my mind will be more focused.

QOTD: I knew I would have been active in a forum after WLS. I am a member of a working mothers forum and I swear those ladies helped me keep my sanity in the tough times of parenting! Knowing the value online forums had in my life, I figured it would do the same for being successful WLS. So far my theory has proved to be true:-)

27 months out, 195.5 today

M1: 2 scrambled eggs, 2 slices bologna, 2 slices ham

M2: Greek yogurt, berries,

M3: 4oz tuna, t boiled eggs, 1oz cashews and 1oz cheese

M4: Spaghetti, no pasta

LOL on the undies - I definitely need to do a purge of the old stuff...

I need to do the purge of my old underwear too! I could probably make a sail with them! LOL!

Good morning! Temps are going up up up here!! Supposed to keep getting hotter in the next week or so. As much as I love swimming, especially in the heat I have become REALLY self conscious of the skin on my arms and more recently - my inner thighs... it's starting to effect my desire to swim and that is killing me. I can't wear a rashguard/swimshirt comfortably in this heat. When its cooler I will have no problem. I cannot wait to be eligible/ready for plastics. I'm enjoying cardio/weights though, so at least I'm still working out on the days I opt not swim.

While it's no jackpot, I won 5 bucks on Powerball last night!

Accountability - ate way too many pieces of bacon for dinner....

QOTD - If I hadn't found OH -I'd be at the mercy of my center and my sister for guidance, which would not be a good thing. My center is higher cal/carb focused and my sister who had WLS 15 mo ago w/virtually identical stats as me, lost 70 pounds in the first 6 months and has maintained but not lost anymore. For the most part, she went back to her old ways and doesn't understand how I eat the way I do and how I am able to continue losing as I have. I've told her what and why but she does what she feels is best for her and I have no control over that. I do have control over what I allow for myself though. I am so grateful to OH everyday! I know I would not be as successful if it weren't for all of you, so thank you to each and everyone of you!!!

Hi guys! Another hot one in Philadelphia... Lower humidity but still hot.

I love the menu thread.... Not only do I get excellent advice and support... I feel like I'm getting to know people. I can't get to an in person support group and really didn't get all that much from my preop group or advice from my nut...people here showed me the way to a lo carb eating plan that works. Also basically I enjoy reading the thread to see what's new with everyone, pictures, and menu ideas. Couldn't do it without you guys!
