Menus and Miles Tuesday July 21st

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.

I feel I need to repeat this:  I am a FIRM believer in Whey Protein Drinks!!!!!  I have IC (Irritable Bladder Syndrome) and I can only have them while I'm not having a flare up.   It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Hard day here.  We had our JRT put to sleep.  He was 16, had congestive heart failure and then started seizures.  We lost our min pin a few weeks ago, also 15 and ill.  Having old dogs sucks because you know you are going to lose them.  This is the first time in DH and I have been petless in our entire 44 years together.

Have you cut back on your Protein?

I have recently but I'm watching my labs. They were good this time and prealbumin is still optimal as are protein and albumin. I'm probably able to absorb more protein now being almost 8 years post-op.
