Call me the newest member in this league of losing weight, though it might have been a bit late but I have realised the importance of losing weight. Anyways as always when you step into a new field you are most likely to be crowded with suggestions and I am no exception. However amongst the many so called tips to lose weight I am hearing a lot about the whey protein. So can someone please elaborate this to me regarding the benefits of the said product to effective weight loss!
Abbot!!!!

I will look into it. I love ANYthing that helps me!

BUT! Tell us about yourself!!!!! Your first post was HERE!!! :p

You are welcome to join us if you want!
 
Happy Thanksgiving​


Thank you to everyone for the get well wishes! We (the six of us plus 2 visiting grandparents) all dropped like flies after Monday night dinner with the dreaded stomach flu. It was awful... I have never been that sick. We are all better (except DS1 who is still have trouble keeping anything but soda crackers and water down).


Also welcome to Valentine ( I :love: that name) and Abbot and any other newbies I have missed!


Welcome back to Toot Sweet- I was starting to think Bbgrizzle had kidnapped you girl!

Bee- I know that as soon as you decide you are 'in' you are going to Rock on the weight loss. Also thank you so much for your kind words regarding my trip reports... I had no idea people will still reading them! Thanks!

Congrats to all who are doing well!

Sympathy to the lexmelinda family- glad you are better and that you have a peaceful family Thanksgiving planned.

Utah- I am so worried about you. You do NOT want the flu!! The laundry and disinfecting are NOT worth the 2 lbs of water weight. However your Thanksgiving post was the FUNNIEST thing I have read in a long time. Thank you for helping me keep things in perspective (and for the great decorating and entertaining hints!)
 
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

Have a lovely meal! Let's plan ahead and make GOOD choices. I have to make ROLLS!!! :scared: :faint: BUT will NOT touch them!! I will not sabotage myself. I will not sabotage myself. I will not sabotage myself!!!!!! They wont be my HOMEmade ones, that'd KILL me. They're frozen dough ones. STILL tempting!

After the dinner and dessert temptations, We're going to Jordan Landing (Movie Theatre, I was being specific for the local girl Spongalicious) to see one of three movies we're interested in. NO POPCORN (insert pitiful faced smilie here) I'll have to take snacks in my purse. :rolleyes1


So, I got on the scale and HOPE I maintain that loss! It's not as good as last week, naturally, but it's braggable (anything less than the previous number is braggable!)

No Zombie Eating! That was for ME and anyone else who consumes mindless extra calories that are not worth it!





Im THANKFUL for this supportive group of wonderful women (and one MIA hunk) and the strength and love y'all give me daily! :grouphug:

UM
What time you gonna go to the movies ?
 

Abott, not sure about your question, but I've been researching (and waiting for the vitamin health food store to get it back in!!)

Glucomannan from Wikipedia :
Glucomannan is a water-soluble polysaccharide composing 40% by dry weight of the roots or corm of the konjac plant. Glucomannan is a dietary fiber, and has been marketed as a the treatment for constipation, obesity, high cholesterol, Acne vulgaris (source) and Type 2 diabetes.

Clinical evidence suggests glucomannan may be beneficial in weight loss (PMID 16320857). Because it is a soluble fiber, it absorbs water to form a viscous gel-like mass. This mass may promote feelings of satiety while traveling through the gastrointestinal tract. In obese patients, taking 1 gram of glucomannan with 8 ounces (250 ml) of water at 1 hour before each of 3 meals daily over 8 weeks resulted in an average weight loss of 5.5 pounds

Glucomannan may be useful as a therapeutic adjunct for Type 2 diabetes. It has been shown to improve the lipid profile and alleviate the fasting blood glucose levels of Type 2 diabetics

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucomannan (go to wikipedia for more links in above information, including a paragraph on cholestral)

Now I went to GNC, my cousin is also the one forging ahead btw, she's been on it and feels it works much much better at giving her a "full" feeling, better than hoodia which she says didnt work at all! However the GNC doesnt carry plain Glucomannan, theirs has chitosen (sp??) which is another fiber - but the other ingredients listed along with glucomanan doesnt state how much glucomannan is in the gel cap pill...
 
I've been up since 4 am - dh snores while breathing IN and OUT - and while on his stomach!!

Our oven isnt functioning properly! Got the pumpkin pie done, I read its less calories and fat if you eat the filling (fat free stuff!!) and leave the crust, and of course use FF Cool Whip!

I'm making sides (potatoes, and veggies, stuffing, cranberries) putting them in the fridge, then popping them in the oven while the bird "rests"... I have one hour before the next run on the kitchen!!
 
To all a Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful that it is not so cold here in Omaha! I will be camping outside a
shopping center all night. I normally dont do that... but I have to get this one particular item... CHEAP. I will tell you what it was tomorrow or Friday!

All have a wonderful day.. I am going to my brothers house.. My sister in law is skinny and all her skinny family will be there... so, this will be fun :rotfl2: :sad2:

love all y'all... :banana:

I just had a sugar free Reeses peanut butter cup (singular) and it was pretty good. My DH took my DS's (6 & 8) to a convienience store to fetch the Mama a diet Pepsi JUMBO super size...and the kids chose a drink AND a treat. Riley, the 6 year old chose the very expensive sugar free version of the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. Which illustrates several things. IF it had been ME, they would have gotten an ON SALE drink (since they dont finish them) and they'd SHARE a cheese and crackers or bag of pretzles (something healthy-ish).

Funny, huh?
 
I know it's nutso, but I'm joining you all today, Thanksgiving. I need to lose 14 lbs, have done WW several times, pretty successfully, but right now I don't want to spend the time and money to go to meetings. Plus, you all are so sweet and funny.
I didn't have time to read all the posts yet, because I need to pay my bills now, but I'll go back and do it later.
I thought if I joined today I might skip the zombie eating and the mountainous portion sizes.

I did have time to read UM's description of the low-rise jeans. :rotfl: That crack in the back is called a "coin slot". I saw a young lady at the supermarket with a backside the size of a case of soda, and she was showing a dollar slot. Low-rise jeans + extra weight + needing items on the bottom shelf = :scared1:
Happy Thanksgiving to all, and let's make today about gratitude, not gorging. :)
 
Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone has a healthy & happy day! Whatever your plans...I am heading over to my sister's house....I think it will be just myself, my sister.. and tough guy (in my siggie).. although he is much bigger now.. i just LOVE that pic and don't want to change it yet! He is my nephew btw... not mine.... I only borrow him on the weekends and for an occasional Disney trip :) Anyway.. I will check in on all of you later! Have a great day... enjoy the movies for those of you who are going... feel better to those who are sick... and think thin to All of us! :)

Hello ladies Bird is in the oven and all 8 sides are ready to go in when they are done!!! Been good so far today saving he calories had a diet pepsi for you UM and some water. Dinner is where I will blow my calories but since I made Thanksgiving this year I took a lot of low cal recipes.


Talk you ladies and gent. After Dinner!!
 
My turkey is bigger than the roasting pan!! :faint: (dh got it free from work!) 18#'s

Boys (and their gf) are MIA!! (presumably eating turkey there first, here last!)

New FDA guidlines for safe turkey temp is 165 - used to be dark meat at 180!! (No, I couldnt get thru to the Butterball talk line - it was busy and didnt give me the option!! BUT I emailed, and they emailed back!!)
 
Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Welcome to the newcomers(no names- in a hurry) :wave:

Well I conquered Thanksgiving dinner.It helps that I don't like alot of what was served.I did stay away from the rolls and macaroni and cheese.I had a sliver of pumpkin pie and it was soooo good.For the first time I am not overstuffed after eating. :thumbsup2 Tomorrow I will be leaving extra early for shopping but I will check in with my weight.

I am so thankful today for my kids,DH and wonderful friends.....Happy Thanksgiving!! :wave2:
 
Welcome dwheatl! Today is the perfect day to join the skinny minnies (actually any day is perfect!).

Fortunately for world peace (ok just extended family peace)... I am counting calories not carbs or fats because we are having a traditional Southern Thanksgiving (think turkey with sides of carbs, carbs, more carbs and then veggies swimming in butter).... also I am taking the day off of counting and going to have small portions and focus on gratitude, family and all my many blessings (of course having just survived the flu is a big help... a lot of things don't look good).

I will splurge on dessert because I after weeks of feeling Thanksgrinchy I woke up in the most wonderful Thanksgiving mood.... and made a homemade from scratch apple pie!!!! My little girls helped me after donning there frilly heart covered aprons made from a vintage (found in my grandma's sewing box) pattern (not by me.. I don't sew! or craft!) Too cute!

I will be thinking of all of you peeps as I put truely dainty (read miniscule) portions of everything that I really want (no wasting calories on pleasing others!!!.... ie no corn even if FIL picked it in Virginny at peak harvest time, froze it, stored it and carried it here just for us... let DH do the obligatory eating! I am a free woman!) and enjoying one slice of pie ala mode. You all are the good angels sitting on my right shoulder :wizard:

Man Shopping...the phenomenon when the dad goes to the store and purchases all the great expensive, unnecessary stuff that mom won't buy...usually forgetting the thing for which he was sent. So be thankful...at least he remembered the diet Pepsi! (He did remember the diet Pepsi, didn't he?)

Glad everyone is having a great day. Welcome, newbies!! I succumbed to the pressure of the fam and went out to the store and purchased a Thanksgiving-ish meal....deli-rotisseri turkey breast (was SO much better than my mom's turkey...ssshhh), stove top stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, jar of Boston Market turkey gravy, Sister Schubert's yeast rolls and a Sara Lee pumpkin pie. Tried to eat sensibly but I still feel really full. Hopefully will skip dinner. I will be SO embarrased if I have actually gained back the 5 I lost. :blush:
 
Good Night Ladies Im full and I believe I didnt go over my calories for tha day at all 1600. :banana: yeah baby. :banana: I dont think I have much of a change but that 1.5 from last friday into Sat. so I will let you know.... Im off to bed because thats right BLACK FRIDAY is almost here and its 8:40pm here and I need to leave for Walmart at 2am to wait in line for 5am... So talk you later Peeps!!!

Good morining as I am always up first I am pleased to say this.

I am glad to hear you all had a great day yesterday.

Weighing -In I have lost 2 pounds, I had hoped for more but any loss is great. :cool1:
I will not be weighing in next friday unless I find and internet cafe as I will be in Disneyland Paris :cheer2: :cheer2: but I will be trying to make the right choices and not eat so much whilst I am there. I rarely put on weight at Disney as we walk loads. That may another reason be why it is my favourite holiday place.
Waiting to see how the rest of you have done. :grouphug:
 
Congratulations on your loss Bonitatime, and have a blast at DLP! I lonly lost 1/2 a pound this week which is better than nothing I guess. I had some anger issues with one of my sons at dinner last night and ate a few hundred more calories than I'd planned, but no major sinning . . . just minor. :blush:

Good luck, everyone.
