• 1 bunch scallions cut diagonally into 2 in lengths (I chopped em up)
• 1/2 cup chopped parsley

• 2 ounces feta cheese crumbled

directions

Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the flavors are blended, about 10min. Add the scallops and simmer until just opaque in teh center, about 5 mins. Stir in the scallions and parsley.
2. Turn the mixture into a 6x10 in. baking disn. Sprinkle with the ouzo and feta cheese. Broil until the cheese is lightly browned and melted about 2 mins.

8 g fat
3g sturated fat

DH says we should make this on a regular basis!!!

My old version of a scallop recipe involved alot of butter so I am very happy to have found this one!!!

Congrats to everyone that has been doing so well. I peeked a look at the scale on Saturday morning and I was down another pound but since then the I have gained it back since yesterday . I'm so frustrated with this , but I can't give up. I don't know if it's my eating or exercising that's not yielding the results I want. I've been doing this for a month now and not much has changed except my thighs are slimming down but nothing else really noticeable cw 177lbs./sw 180lbs./ltd 3lbs./goal 140lbs.

Weigh in!

Starting Weight:165
Last Weeks Weight: 156.5
This Week's Weight: 154

I lost 2.5 pounds this week! I am still mad at myself for slipping up last week but all in all I managed to lose last week's slipup weight gain (2lbs) and .5 more. Not amazing but still better than nothing right? DH starts his new job today which means a better scheduel for the whole family so working out should be pretty easy every night. (No more excuses ) I hope you are all doing well.

Nothing but slimmer thighs :: Looks down at own massive thighs :: I want that! You have to look at the big picture and also remember that muscle weighs more than fat. You are slimming down and getting healthier. Keep up the good work!

Monday morning check in - Well... I haven't really been dieting to much or excercising at all. Yesterday I had 1.5 cans of pepsi I'm having major family drama right now, so I just kinda gave up on everything this weekend due to the stress, but I'm back on this Monday morning. Hope everyone had a great weekend, and an even better week - I'm off to change some poopie diapers.... my 16m/o is the best - I ask her "Sophie, did you do poopies?" and her responce is the same every time - "No." and always with a slight smile, like, ya know I did!

I am majorly out of commision today. I twisted my neck funny at bowling last night and hurt it. The funny thing is I almost quit bowling but couldn't cuz I was bowling so well ~30 pins above average. I put massive amounts of Bengay on it and took tylenol, but today it hurts so much that I can barely move. This really stinks!!!!! Now I'm trying a hot pad. I don't even think I'll get much done at home today ugghhhhh!!!!

Angie - Sorry about your neck - same thing happened to me in Florida... kinda. DD16mo woke me up at 2am, and while I was sitting on the bed with her, my upper back started spazaming - it hurt so much! It still hurts a little, but no where near as bad as it did in Florida.
A note about bowling - DH used to bowl (adv. about 220), and he got me into it (adv. about 120), but he gave it up for softball and I gave it up for kids.... We really want to get back into it, but DH broke his thumb playing softball, so it didn't fit into his balls anymore - well long story short, with all his weight loss (25 lbs!) his finger fits now! Now we just have to find a league or something go join...

 

[smwf71]

I am down .6 this week. I believe that's 12.8 lbs total - I hope to loose that much again before heading to Florida March 29th - can I do it? Maybe!!! I hope you are all having fun and plugging away - I really am a firm believer in having a few higher calories days to help boost your metabolism and speed weight loss, so don't stay super low every day or you'll get in a rut. Love and thin thighs to all!

Hi all!!
First of all someone (sorry I didn't take note of the user name!) wanted to use my ODD signature thing? Absolutley go for it!! I don't mind at all!! I understand that there are many sufferers out there with this disorder Second thing is thanks for all the great tips! Over the weekend I went out and bought some lean gourmet michelinas! They are all under 300 cals per meal so its a great option! The biggest loser idea is also great!! I love that show! Just watching it gets me motivated so I will have to look into getting something like that started!
Angie- sorry about your neck!! My mom actually hurt her neck over the summer and for about 3 days it kept getting worse and then she went to the doctor and they said to take aleve and use ice. unfortunatly that is aparently a slow muscle to heal! Hope it gets better soon!
Great job on all the weight loss! You guys are inspiration!! I need to start adding some workout to my day but I don't like to sweat I'm probably going to have to get over that if I really want to lose weight! If only there was a magic pill I'll be weighing in on thursday to see my progress...hopefully!
Keep up the great work!!!

Where were you guys in January 2006? I could have used you. Thought I would share my story and join you.

On January 5, 2006 I weighed 262.5. I am 5' 6-1/2" and I was 37 years old. On January 2, 2006 we booked our first trip to WDW since 1992 and our first trip with our daughter who was 10 years old at the time. A day or so after booking that trip and purchasing airfare I started thinking - Am I going to fit on the rollercoasters? Am I going to need a lap belt extender on the airplane? I realized right then and there that it was time to do something about my weight. So I joined Weight Watchers. Of course our trip was only 2 months away in mid-March so I knew I couldn't lose that much before the trip! But I didn't let that stop me. The day we left for WDW I was down 20 pounds. Fit on all the rides and did not need a lap belt expander. Can't say getting OFF Space Mountain was all that easy!

Well on December 1, 2006 I reached the goal that Weight Watchers told me was appropriate for my height and age: 160 pounds (over 100 pounds lost). By the time we went on our second trip to WDW in March 2007 I was at my (and my doctor's) personal goal for myself 145 pounds (117 pounds lost). I have been maintaining my WW goal for over a year now and in just a few weeks I will reach my one year mark at my personal goal. I now hang out in the 142-145 pound range.

And in 1 month 2 days we will be back at WDW! I loved the trip in '06 but the trip in '07 was incredible. I allowed myself to actually be photographed. I had more energy. I was able to enjoy all the walking. I was able to make good food choices and not really sweat it like I did in '06.

I definitely fit this category. It was a trip to Disney that encouraged me to start my weight loss journey and I will always be thankful for that. It has been an incredible journey and I wish every single one of you good luck. Even though I am in maintenance I still diligently watch what I eat and stick to a points program. So I hope you will let me join your group!

 

[DoryDays]

Stitchlover!! WOW!!! What an inspiration!! I love your story!! I would like to lose some weight but ultimately for me, I would like to get to the point were you are in maintaining and really just living a healthier lifestyle. Losing all that weight and maintaining is such an accomplishment!!! Do you have any tips??
Hope you find the support you're looking for in this group!
It's great to meet you!
