I'm okay with these numbers. I'm thinking another soak in the jacuzzi tub in in order this weekend! Yup, I can hear those bubbles calling me.

How did you do?

 Hi Dawn, I had surgery in 2009 and never reached my goal wt.  I lost 120lbs, but have 40 more to go. I am going to try to go back to the way I ate when I was losing wt. I have been just eating whatever I wanted and not trying to get all the protein in like before.  That is my first goal.  But my question is:  What is NSA Swiss Miss??  Is it no sugar added??  And is it tasty??  Do you use protein shakes and what kind do you use?  Thanks for your help.   Donna

NSA Swiss Miss is no sugar added but there's a recipe for sugar free on food.com that uses 24 packets of splenda, 1-1/4 cup powdered non fat milk, 1/2 cup cocoa, corn starch, salt.I put it in a food processor and grind it up really smooth. I put it in my hot coffee in the morning..

As far as using protein powder. I have some left over vanilla or chocolate soy protein that I use in recipes. I use Carb Thin Soy Protein Baking Mix for my protein waffles. My favorite protein powder for making shakes was Designer Whey chocolate cappuccino that I bought at Vitamin Shoppe but it was a long time before I found one that I actually liked..most of them were nasty..Vitamin Shoppe has or had a return policy for any unused portions..that helped alot.

I strictly stay away from sugar and white carbs. whole grain thin breads..no pasta or whole wheat pasta and keep the portions strictly measured..

I move more. Walk more and further..or try to.

Start with what you're eating now and then tweek it a bit..then a bit more..pretty soon you'll be losing weight and it wont' feel like you did anything drastic at all..but it's a life change and not a diet at all..

Good luck to you!

Indeed! Today was a MUCH better day. I spoke to my manager & a another team member/mentor & they coached, confirmed, reinforced & gave my the validation i needed to hear. Basically, I need to distance myself from those ppl - specially since i dont need them for anything.
I went in to work feeling a slight migraine coming & ended up leaving a couple hours early from tummy trouble. I went home & crashed for a few hours & when i woke up, i couldnt see clearly out of one eye. eekk...

NTSDawn - Happy Friday!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
W95 - Im sorry you re-injured your ankle & hope you can get back on it soon.

Thanks MissC!

I can totally relate with you on the situps, pushups, dips, and squats.  I wont say I enjoy doing them (especially the pushups and dips), but I love how I feel and am starting to look.  I FEEL more toned and stronger.
My girls (not-so-affectionately labeled as 36DD Longs) are even standing up a bit higher due to all those pushups!

Migraines are bad. I don't get them but my husband used to and has occasionally..our son gets tthem too..that's even worse! when your baby hurts, you hurt..

That's cool that you are loving the exercises..I know when I'm having a rough day, just moving even a bit helps my mood..

Wow..I can't believe the numbers!..awesome really awesome..Keep up the good work. You're doing great!
