Oh ya, Kelly's vomit in the restaurant really reminded me of that pukey girl in R & C!!! And her obnoxious parents ... So, Kelly did you order another round of banana foster martinis while the YC hostess cleaned up the vomit? (Just kidding.....)

OK, so maybe I am a bit of a germaphobe, but I know when you toss your cookies there are germs set loose!!! I don't need those germs at WDW!

I still love my Diet Coke. Seriously I lost 50+lbs and it was my lifeline. I love the stuff. I really don't think it makes me more hungry. Not at all. And I know it makes me feel peppy!!! I don't JUST drink Diet Coke, but it is a treat for me because I love the stuff so much.

okay feeling better now.... trying to lose that last 10 pounds to get me to goal before my 2 year RE birthday (may 8) i soooo wanted to be AT goal at the 2 year mark

I have been so good on my diet and I put on 2 pounds today I am so not going to make it to my BIG time personal goal.. i made this goal for myself the day I went in for surgery... its been a long time coming... i am 10 pounds from it DANG BLAST IT ALL TO YOU KNOW WHERE..... so close I can SMELL it.... I dont see how I can drop 10 pounds in 9 days

Brook -- I know how frustrating it can be, but you've done amazingly well and YOU WILL MAKE IT THE LAST 10 POUNDS... you should just give yourself another month or two... Good for you for getting where you are!


Kelly -- you have a beautiful family!
Thanks for sharing pictures! More, More!

Channing~ sorry is I offended your cough cough DEVIL's DRINK .... i mean diet coke

You know if I could figure out a way to hook up my PC so it only worked while I was on the treadmill... i could lose those 10lbs in NO TIME

 

[Lives4Disney]

Ya, I am crushed ....just lying here on the floor totally bummed that you would say nasty things about my sweet Diet Coke.

That's OK...I can take it. I've had to develop a thick skin hanging out on the DIS with all the bullies over on the resorts board.

No, really though...Diet Coke helped me thru!! I lost it w/diet and excersise & it filled me up and kept me from craving Oreos. Now, you wanna talk about evil....what's with those Oreos!?!?!?

 

[praline3001]

I was just sitting here praying you hadnt reported me

Oreos... what about those flippin double stuff oreos
oh the things I do miss...

peanut butter cups.... havent had 1 in 2 years
ice cream... ohhhh rocky road ice cream... with fudge and butterscotch...whipped cream and lots and lots of nuts...
kit kat bars... ohhh i loved those things
what i wouldnt give for a nice huge platter of bread pudding right now.... ohhhhh i loved that stuff....
oh and fried ice cream with honey topping
PIZZA... oh i can make my own but i want a huge slice of greasy fried bacon and all the fixings dripping with cheese and loaded down with sauce....

okay so i can do kart wheels in the back yard with my daughter and i dont have to shop in plus size stores anymore .... but ohhhh every once in a while ..... i wish i could turn this thing off

NO! Thanks for the info though ...some tip and some don't...that's at least good to know there is no real etiquette to it.....I hate those awkward moments......

Praline...I haven't had a double stuff Oreo in about 20 yrs. I drool over them as I pass by and reach for teh reduced fat version....wish they could cram more stuffing in the reduced fat Oreos!!

OMG>....You love all my favorites. A couple years ago Reeses had the Carb 1 peanut butter cups...they were only 3 pts on the WW for BOTH...I LOVED them and they helped get me thru my chocolate cravings....I guess enough people didn't love them and they are no longer. I HATE when that happens. I find some great yummy diet treat food and it disappears.

 

[praline3001]

I am having that very same problem... but mine is a bit more serious than a snack... I have to drink protein shakes to get my protein in... depending on how much I ate that day is how many I drink... I shoot for a goal of 100 grams of protein every day. Well the 1 and only protein drink I really really like they stopped making .... I wanted to
sugar free protein drinks do NOT taste like slim fast

Public service announcement**** Kristen and those others who might have a less than pure mind... please put down anything your drinking BEFORE reading the next 20 or so post*****
so now I am forced to gag down the nasty protein (SHUT UP KRISTIN YOUR GOING TO MAKE ME GIGGLE)
shakes.... as they are a way of keeping my healthy... it really stinks. I wish I could find some protein that actually TASTED good

Hilarious! Lord knows it's the truth!

 

[vbarry]

Channing- I did not tip the delivery guys from Sears and they delivered a whole bunch of stuff. Maybe other do but I do not. See if they provide you with over the top service and go from there. The guys I had never even cracked a smile.

You are cracking me up

 

[praline3001]

You are cracking me up

I will tell you, my DH has been so supportive. He is always asking me if I drank all my protein shakes that day and is always concerned that I haven't gotten enough in while I am in weight loss mode.

I am sure he has your best interest in mind.

 

[praline3001]

I am sure he has your best interest in mind.

It does motivate me to make sure I get all my protein grams in before bed.

I have one of those supportive DH, except it's not protein shakes he nags me about it's my "happy and calm mommy vitamin" I raise my voice just the slightest and he's asking me if I forgot to take my "vitamins"

It's so sweet that we have DH's that care so much for us. Whatever would we do without them

Altoids......thats all i'm gonna say

hmm... well... see.... I have tried those altoids and though they gave me the freshest breath ever for some reason DH hated them.... something about an allergic reaction to cinnamon

 

[Alicnwondrln]

You guys are to much. After Anty got sick we immediately went

to the room and put all the clothes in a bag and I went and did the laundry. We were staying at the BWI side when this happened so no washer and dryer. We didnt even stay and eat. We paid and left.

What kind of protien shake where you drinking before? When I had a personal trainer she recommended a brand called Optimum Nutrition from GNC. I tried the vanilla and it was terrible and then I tried the Rocky Road and it was very good. I drank them on a regular basis...I have to get back to the gym...One day maybe....I also have a few recipies for high protien pancakes and orange carrot muffins. Let me know if you are interested in the recipes...

I am the protein expert (stifiling another giggle)
I am a gastric bypass patient and have lived on protein shakes for 2 years. In my kitchen I actually have a protein bar
My favorite protein powder they stopped making is Nectar Tealicious. I know they make the lemon tea but it doesn't taste as good.
I do like the matrix chocolate when I make it with my coffee... it makes a nice cafe latte.

I have several bottles of Divinci's sugar free syrup and I play around with those, trying to come up with recipes to make the protein taste better.
There are also several different grades of protein to go along with a million flavors. It depends on your activity and time of day which is best for me. If I have just worked out or need a fast protein absorbtion drink I have to do Isolate proteins such as isopur <i need to find that puking smilie>
If its morning i drink the whey proteins as they are a bit more filling but not heavy. At night I drink the micellar milk. the micellar milk is the BOMB if your looking to stay full longer but 1. its pricey and 2. you can't drink it all day long as it is a bit heavy (at least for me). The micellar milk turns into a gel in your stomach (it taste like yoohoo's so you dont notice the gel part) and keeps you full for 4-6 hours BUT it takes 4-6 hours for your body to absorb the protein hence why I only drink it at night.

Now there are other proteins out there and I am all ears to hear about a new protein but I don't like the nasty salty ones ewwwwww
