DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[TwinkieMama]

aeries thanks for the link!

Do you have anything on applebees? I ate a half portion of the grilled chicken caesar salad last night. I am guessing almost 500 calories but I can't find it anywhere.

Also the last couple of days when I have been searching for calorie information I have been getting pop up you know what. Rhymes with corn. I haven't had this problem in years... same internet filters... ??????

 

[UtahMama]

Applebee's is Weight Watcher friendly! If you order any of the WW entee's it should be FINE!

"WWWW" What would Wendy want?

I love our motto, and our mantra.... siusii, siusii, soooooseeee!!!

Thank you all so much, just when I need to smile, or get encouragement - here's a post!!

ok, restaurant menu info - if you've never spent hours at Dotti's weight loss zone, then you've never done weight watchers!!

Link to restaurants > http://www.dwlz.com/restaurants.html

(I looked for the ceasar salad it wasnt there maybe because it wasnt ww friendly? some of the salads listed were 804 calories tho!)

Also her site includes many many recipes > http://www.dwlz.com/recipeTOC.html

there are a lot of ads on the site - but you can only imagine how much bandwidth gets used by people like me that grab what I need and move on - its great the site has stood thru so many tests!!

I know there is also a palm pilot free download for points calculations, I used it back in the day!!

(I went and clicked on the review the weight commander review says >

Michael Marder, the man who created the Weight Commander, did a wonderful job on it....it is a creative, informative, fun program. It is a shareware program that costs $9.95 (and worth every penny!). It is a ready-to-use program - not hard at all - very user friendly! It is a GREAT tool for tracking your weight loss journey. He is always working on the program and updating it. It has the following features (geared for any diet plan you are on) plus much more:

holy canoli - a ceasar salad is 1295 CALORIES!!!

I may never eat that again!! No wonder I'm carrying an extra spare tire around my middle!!!

Anybody given any thought to Thanksgiving? I'm a huge Pie lover!! ( boy do I got that right!!)

So I've been rethinking some of my recipes and searching for alternatives. Now I have an award winning Pumpkin Pie recipe, its made with sweetened condensed milk, so you can imagine calories and sugar there!!

How about any of you? I found this one, I'm not lovin a frozen pie crust, but other than that???

4 cup fat-free whipped topping

3.Pour into pie shell.
4.Chill until set; at least 4 hours.
5.Garnish with remaining whipped topping.

This one I think may need sugar (or at least splenda, but I think I'd love the phyllo dough - I'm afraid I've never worked phyllo dough tho... )

Reduced Pumpkin Pie
Ingredients


4 sprays cooking spray
4 sheet phyllo dough
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cornstarch
1/8 tsp table salt
1 1/2 cup canned pumpkin, puree
1 1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute
1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions


Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch round pie pan with cooking spray.


Cut phyllo sheets in half. Place 1 sheet in prepared pan and lightly coat with cooking spray. Top with another sheet of phyllo, placing corners just to the right of the previous sheet's corners. Repeat with remaining sheets to form a circle. Press layered phyllo into pan and roll in edges. Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.


Whisk together brown sugar, spices, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together pumpkin, evaporated milk, egg substitute and vanilla in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients.


Pour filling into crust. Bake until set, about 50 minutes. (Cover crust edges with foil during baking if they are becoming too brown.) Cool completely before cutting into 8 pieces.

I still have yet to exercise. I have a disk problem in my back which causes my sciatic nerve to hurt big time. Anyone knows exercise that won't cause that to act up please let me know

What area do you have problems with? L4/L5? How do you handle walking? That might be the best to start with right now. Another one, that I think someone else brought up is to lay on your stomach, and lift both your arms and your legs off the ground for a count to 10. Lower and do again . . . Sounds weird, but it really helps the core muscles . . . Then you can also try lifting alternating arm and legs, hold for 10, then repeat with the other leg/arm combo.

When I was recovering from my back surgery, I started out excersicing by going to a water aerobic class. It was wonderful . . . I didn't feel like I was doing anything, but it really helped my stamina! The YMCA by us has a couple of neat classes that you can go to without being a memeber. I think it was $2 a time. . . . I really lacked confidence in my ability to do anything so I started with the arthritis class (I was the youngest person in the class by 20 years!!) Needless to say I "graduated" to the "Warm Water Plus" class which is a class in the "warm" water pool and more of a beginner class . . .after 2 mo of that, I moved up to the regular water aerobic class . . . then on to the regular gym. (** this is also great if you have joint problems - the water helps support you!)

All it takes are baby steps . . . but let me tell you - it is a great feeling when you start to feel strong!!! I unfortunatley fell off the wagon and stopped working out for four months. I can't believe how much I feel it! I also didn't changed my eating habits enough to really lose weight, but I did tone up and had much more energy! I did more activities and worked in the yard this summer more than I have in years. So now I realize the importance of this and I am committed to making it part of my life . ..

Hit the gym 2x so far this week. I won't make it tonight, but will try the excersice ball and a DVD I have at home instead . . . !

[UtahMama]

I'm watching The Biggest Loser to help keep my focus. Utah (Heather) is STILL going strong!!!


In the theme song is the words: "What have you done today to make you feel proud?"

I want to be able to answer that with SOMETHING everyday!!!

This is so physical. But it's SO emotional too!
It's EASIER for me to not try and diet.
I have to break free of my "stinkin thinkin" (excuses etc.)
and form new attitudes along with the new habits!!!

 

[eeyore45]

Woman's World magazine -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucomannan

its a soluble fiber glucomannan that is significantly helping with weight loss - so all of us that need that extra help in the bathroom...

I jogged in place during Biggest Loser - and I have not liked how Kia and Heather have behaved in this game, but it got them to the end so, what do I know!! They were featured in this months Prevention Magazine!!

off to take care of dd!!

 

[monymony3471]

I'm upping my exercise to at least 4 times a week. Today I took off.

Got my water in, I stop counting after the first 8.

B: mushroom omelet
am sn: I was making chop suey for lunch so I had a few bites of that
L: chop suey/no rice added black eye peas
pm sn: celery sticks and turkey
D: salad with chicken

Can't believe UM said the "C" word. Must be the diet

I don't know about you but I'm tired of waking up 2-3 times through the night to pee. I usually can make it through the night. Not now though with drinking all my water. So, I'm trying to stop fluids by 8pm.

Here's to tomorrow! Hope it's lighter!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

OK, if you want to really diet, check out Top Chef competion (Leftover segment) on Bravo!

Pig blood, kidneys, chicken feet, tripe, beef hearts, beef cheeks, sweetbreads, veal tongue, fish heads, veal tails .........

Good eats!!!!!!!!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Eeewwwwwwwwww, Marita! Way to ruin our appetites. YES!!!!!

What a GREAT diet plan . . .

 

[UtahMama]

monymony???? What C word? Chili??

I have NO idea

I LOVE the food choices you made today! WAY to GO!!!
I want an omelet tomarrow, that sounds good. Eggs FILL me up!

I hate getting up to pee!!!! I wait till the last possible second!




I want beef jerkey and string cheese tomarrow for snacks.

But some of you have mentioned ham or turkey rollups I think that sounds good too. I do have to finish up my big pot of lentil/beef soup tomarrow though. THAT stuff "cleans" you out if you know what I mean.

Knowing that we weigh in on friday makes me want tomarrow to ROCK!
Time to kick it up a notch ((BAM))



Where's DISunc, the thread hunk?

 

[hinsok1]

Ok - I'm really trying to be good and plan meals a little better than I have in the past . . . So knowing that Wed nights are crazy with Karate for the kids, I bought a roast to put in the crock pot . . . I got up early, jumped in the shower and prepared for work. As usually I was running late, so I quickly pulled the crockpot out of the front closet (who has room for those things in the kitchen?), took off the cover, threw the roast in, plugged it in, put the cover back on, turned it to low and ran out the door . . .

Fast forward to later this evening when I came home expecting the smell of the roast cooking . . . while I could smell the roast, there was a odor in the air that I could not identify . . . I looked high and low, but could not figure it out. . .It seemed to be going away, so I forgot about it as I ran around preparing the rest of the meal.

I had a few errands to run after dinner, so DH took care of cleaning up the kitchen . . . When I came back, he was just laughing . . . and said "so remember the odd odor from earlier tonight"

Yes

"Do you want to know?"

Oh course I do.

"Take a look in the crock pot?"

What are you talking about?

Inside the crock pot, under the crock portion was a crushed, melted bag of individual doritos!!!!

What happened? This summer I had bought a few individual bags of chips for the kids. We were doing some remodeling in the kitchen and they were thrown into the front closet. The last time we used the crock pot, it was put away without the crock. Who ever put the crock away, did not realize that a bag of doritos much have fallen inside the crock pot outside unit . . . and put the crock on top of the doritos!!

What a mess . . . .! That will teach me to be in a hurry!!

Have a great day tomorrow! and remember WWPD!
