Have fun! I want to see that as I loved the book. I'm afraid it won't be nearly as good though.

I too loved the book. The movie was only "okay". I wouldn't go out of my way to see it again.

I'm really impressed with everyone here's will power. I have NONE. That's why I like what I am doing....it's the first hting that worked for me in 5 years.

I have absolutely no will power. And I am a stress eater. Right night is tax season and I work in accounting so I am super stressed.

I don't like to restrice certain foods - just eat in moderation. I try to be extra good during the week when I am home more so that on the weekends if I go out I can indulge a bit. My biggest problem is overdoing it when I get stressed out.

I went to the movies this afternoon and had a soft pretzel - no salt. This was my lunch since I had a late breakfast. I don't go to the movies very often and I like to have something to eat during the movie. In the past I would get candy so this is a bit better. At dinner I had a tuna salad plate but did share a piece of chocolate cake with my daughter.

I think the key is totally finding what works for you. I don't even follow SB 100%. I've done enough diets over the years to know what works for me and what doesn't so I've kind of tweaked it and added some things (or taken out some things) to make it work for me.

Absolutely! That is why it is great that there are so many different plans out there. I have a lot of friends who have done great on South Beach. I just don't think I could give up carbs - even for two weeks!

well the movie was not good. The book was so much better. They left alot out of it and I think it ruined it.

The food tonight, well let's move on. When I wake up I will be full on diet.

Well last night was one of THOSE nights- we didn't want to cook supper, it was late and we were all tired. BUT, instead of fast food (DS wanted Subway which is better than his usual choice of Rotten Ronnie's) we shared a wrap and had salad. DS had hawaiian pizza which is fine when your 7 and running from here to there.

Now today we are having DS' birthday party-no cake for Mom!

We are going to my cousin's birthday party too..lol..and for me to say no to ice cream and cake is going to kill me!! We went to dinner last night at Ruby Tuesday's and I filled up on salad...I LOVE THEIR SALAD BAR

I hope everyone is having a good weekend!!

 

[carissanboys]

Thanks for the review Scott. I think I'll wait until it comes out on DVD.

Saying no to cake is hard

Easter is going to be hard as we'll be at my in-laws house and lots of yummy food will abound. But, I plan on bringing a salad and some nuts and yogurt to eat in addition to whatever meat and veggies are there. I think being prepared and having a plan is helpful.

I admit I got on the scale this morning and it's down even more. Can't wait until Friday!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Very good job!! I didn't my scale yet But me and Mom are heading to Target in a minute before the boys wake up!!

Easter I plan on eating what is there just small amounts. If I cut everything out I will not last.

The movie previews last night they showed a preview for "Mamma Mia", it is starring Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan. Looked better than the broadway show.

I started up my fitday program today and it keeps logs of all the food you eat, weight and weight goal and exercise. It may keep me on track.

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Sounds like everyone is on the right track so far!

I think Easter will have to be a cheat day for me - too many good things to choose from.

Congrats Carissa for the scale reading!!

I had a special k bar for breakfast today and special k ceral for lunch. I'm saving up for dinner - going to my parents and my dad is making sausage and peppers - yum!

Well, today is over and I am sooooo tired. I had to work again today. Did not have any ice cream. But we did order lunch. I had a BIG burrito. But only ate 1/3 of it and wrapped up the rest for lunch tomorrow. (not to bad right )

 

[VroomVroomLightning]

i HATE scales..lol..I did the bad thing of weighing myself at like noon and then when I got home today after the party I weighed myself again and I was so mad....It said I had gained like 3 pounds...I was so upset and crying...I knew I had not ate that much today...I only ate one serving today at lunch and then ate a few chips...Yes i gave in to the cake and ice cream but a piece of cake an inch wide and one tiny scoop of ice cream could not have done this no way!!

My mom told me to calm down and she told me not to weigh myself because this would happen and since I had started today that it would make it higher(( Sorry to any guys who didn't want to read that last sentence)). So I was deteremined that I had not gained all that...So I just got off of it again and I was back to my weight I had been at Noon..lol..So needless to say I am not giving up like I wanted to!!

I was sooo bad tonight. We ordered pizza and I ate 4 slices! I will have to make up for it tomorrow.

It is amazing how much your weight fluctuates in a day. That is why I ONLY ever weigh myself first thing in the morning before I've eaten anything.

Stay positive - you can do it!

Yesterday -

Daily walk

Stuck to diet

I was so tempted to have something I'm not suppose to in the evening yesterday. That's the hardest time of day for me as old habits die hard. I only have popcorn in the house so it wouldn't have been a bad snack, but I'm not suppose to have popcorn until Phase 2. I was glad that I held out.

I hope everyone has a great week!

 

[camelotcats]

I was VERY bad yesterday. Stress eating. Many Peeps, and a box of milk duds.

I will be better today, as my tummy is very angry.

Hi guys. I had sausage and peppers for dinner last night and a Klondike bar for dessert. Sunday nights are usually my worst since I go to my parents for dinner. They always have a great meal and dessert. But, I didn't eat anything else the rest of the night once I got home. Usually I would have snacked on something.

Sounds like everyone is doing pretty well. I'm sure there will be days that we all overdo it but there is always the next day!

I think this is one of the most important lessons to learn. It's ok to make mistakes or fall off the wagon, or whatever as long as you're able to get back on track. I know I've always had a hard time with "cheating" and then giving up.

Me to. If I over eat something one day I think to myself that this day is ruined anyway - lets go all out and eat crazy all day. I am trying to remember that just because I overdo something during the day I don't have to continue the trend all day.
