Hello to all of our Lightweights!!!  If you are visiting WELCOME....PLEASE JOIN US and POST!!!!!    Besides my tool,  I count  Posting on the LW board as my #1 reason for being successful on this exciting journey!!!!     

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!   AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!!  THEY ARE ADDICTING!!  THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!!  THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with good choices during the Honeymoon Period!!!!!!!!!

How's everyone doing?  Are your kids off to school?  Do you have empty nest syndrome?  Is it easier to follow your plan than when you are feeding little ones all day?  I know it is a lot easier for me to stay on track than it is for my DD's.

Got my walk in this morning then rode Poppy.   Feeling very vertious about my exercise even if the scale isn't going down like I would like. 

I've changed my breakfast cause I was out of eggbeaters.  Not having the kale in the morning however was not helping my bathroom habits  so I changed from benefiber to miralaz this morning and had a flax muffin.  We'll see if that helps.  But I will be gone for a few days at a driving clinic so meals will be different anyway.

decaf protein coffee 33g
flax muffin with cream cheese, SF jelly, hand full of blackberries
lemon tea protein  13g
eggplant parm/chicken
caribbean cooler protein 13g
pizza chips
stir fry with beef, peppers, onions, edename, celery
protein shake  33g

My nightly popcorn helps me go to the bathroom.  I can really tell the difference if I haven't had it for a few days. I've read some nasty things about miralax but they might only pertain to children.  My DD took her 5 yr. old off of it immediately.

Sounds Good Price!   Have fun on your trip!!!!

Empty nest most of the time...ahhhhh!

Hi Roz,

We've had empty nest for 7 or 8 years.  I like it.  It about drove DH crazy, but I think he is finally getting used to it. 

We are going out of town tomorrow when I get off work.  We are meeting my sister and her family and going to a Hot Air Balloon festival.  I'm so excited.  We are suppose to be home Saturday night late.  I'm not taking my laptop.
