Magic Double-dip "SCOOP AWAY THE POUNDS"

141..heck that is enough for a petite woman and small child. Now lets get that man of hers going. He should be beefy. :teeth:

I heard from rachel (kaykels) and she reported that she has lost all she wanted to, plus. So that will add to our beef cake. Gosh it is all about the food for me.

Okay, I have to confess. I realize you guys do not know me, but I like to consider myself fairly bright. Well, I can at least read. Today I stopped at Walgreens to pick up some gas medicine for my DGD. While I was at it (I was hungry) I perused the candy isle. Much to my surprise they had sugar free twizzlers. I snatched them up, figure the points were low enough to indulge. After all a regular twizzler is 1 pt each (from the big bag). Well, these are 6 for 2 pts. Now I can not beat that. So I proceeded to munch down on six. Yummy. Not as good a regular, but a good close second. I stopped off at my DSIS (who is watching my DGD) and administered the gas drops, visited for a while and then headed to the grocery store. Now I am telling you all this so you can really get the feel of the situation. It is now around 7pm and still no dinner. I decide to indulge in another serving of those sf twizzlers. You see I am now food deprived which mean that I can no longer read or think. I mow down on them and pick up some groceries. NEVER shop when you are hungry. It took longer because I had to run back around the store putting things back that I had no business putting in the cart.

Got home, cooked the ground turkey, did my walk and then came back to eat. Then al of a sudden my lower belly started yelling, grumbling and carrying on like it was possessed. Yup, I bet you all figured it out. Sugar alcohol. That wonderful laxative effect ingred that they put in sugar free food. :stir: What a doofus. They even wasted their time putting the warning on the package. :rolleyes:

SO I need to remember to pack my snacks in the morning so I will not have to splurge
. :guilty:

Good thing is I will be clean out by morning and detoxed. :rotfl:

Glad to see a post from you. Even if you haven't lost anymore at least you haven't gained. Afternoon munchies are the hardest part of anyday.Angelina has a thing for feeding others, I could totaly not want anything to eat and she will insist that I do. She loved shoving goldfish crackers down my throat!
Dee :banana: :Pinkbounc :cool1: Looks like you will reach your mini goal next week. Keep up the great work! Funny story about the twizzlers. I use to eat these sugar free candies in NY, can't remember thier name but they had really yummy flavores and were soft and goooey. Anyway I was eating them not as candy but has laxatives.Also glad you heard from Rachel. I think about her often.
Jackie I hope on Friday you have some extra weight to add to our growing family!!
I have a really difficult day today. I have to go up to Angelina's school for a meeting. They never go well and I have been stressing about it. I always have to fight them on everything. This meeting is to go over her phyicological(sp?) exam , which they did back in April and never had the time to have a meeting. They only will have meetings on Thrusdays and love to wait untill a day or 2 before to notify me. They always hope I will give up my rights so they can meet without me, Lord knows that will never happen. They are actually annoyed that I want to and will always be envolved.Just need to vent.
 
Note to self: Indulge in SF Twizzlers before tomorrow's weigh-in.



Kidding........



What's that ingredient that the use for the 'fat free' stuff, like WOW potato chips....that stuff is LETHAL! Yep, sometimes we're way better off eating the 'real' thing...just less of it ::yes:: I've pretty much given up the ____-free stuff and just go with the 'light' version. Well, sugar-free if it's made with splenda is OK for me, but Dee's so right...watch out for those sugar-alcohols!

Time to hit the shower...it's lots of water and tasty salad for me today!

Congratulaltions Rachel! 'Weigh' to go!:cheer2:
 

I am very sensitive to sugar alcohols. Anymore than 5 sugar free jelly beans and I am running (no pun intended) for the bathroom. And those WOW potato chips, same thing. I never eat those anymore - too dangerous. ;)

You guys are doing great!!!! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:
 
I had to share a funny. Last night I bought my family food from Panda Express (I was good, and ate a few noodles, and some veggies and chicken). I saw my fortune cookie on the counter this morning, and decided to open it to see what my fortune was. "Over-Indulgence Hinders Body & Mind" :rotfl:

How true that is. It is a shame though. Do you realize that had we been born a few hundred years ago we would have been seen as healthy and sexy. Darn the bad luck, I am late once again. :rotfl2:
 
I'd *like* to report that two days ago I was down 21!! However, today, I'm not. So, I can't really report the loss...I'll give myself a few days before I "claim" those pounds, if I can borrow Jackie's word. I do think, though, that I'm back on track. Never really left the track, but I think I let the stress of the last few weeks keep me from being extra good, ya know?

What's a sugar alcohol? Whatever they are, I learned my lesson with sugar free hard candies years ago...ughhh...never again!

Dee...I am so impressed with your consistency! You go, girl!

Carolyn (lost, but found again...amazing what one short letter from a newly shaven Marine can do for a mom!:)
 
Oh, and one more thing, completely and totally off topic....I'm really struggling to find a dress or two for the dress up nights on the cruise. I HATE to shop, so I tend to buy online a lot. Works for many things, but having trouble with this. I returned 7 dresses today (from 2 different stores)!! Any website suggestions??

And, what about little girl dresses? Sissy's 5, so it needs to be cute (but not toddler-y) and no spaghetti straps. We just got DS8 a black suit...oh my...how handsome...I almost cried. When did he get so big?

Please, please, shopping divas, I need your help!

Carolyn
 
Well Carolyn...my size does not come from a store so I do shop on line (when I shop) Have you tried, Jessicalondon.com or chadwicks.com. They carry like size 14 on up, maybe even smaller.
 
Wendy
Love the fortune cookie...Also good controlonly eating a little Panda Express. I like thier chinese food and find it really hard to have just a little.The next dayI really suffer.
Caroyln
I hope you can claim the pounds soon :thumbsup2 For dresses online line I think it is really hard to buy a dress with out trying it on. But for Sissy's dress there is a lady on Ebay who has the most amazing little girl dresses. I will find out her name. They are new dresses and I think they were around $35.00. They look more like $100.00 dresses.
Dee
You are so right. Looking back a all fine art work they always painted the most full figured women.
 
Dee...I loved the the two dresses on the opening page of the Jessica London site. That's what I'm looking for...not a really froo-froo FORMAL dress, just more of a nice dress. I don't want sleeveless or halter or cap sleeves. Just 3/4 sleeves, with NO plunging neckline (sorry, Surly!) (Besides, cleavage makes my kids giggle!) I found a couple on the Chadwick's site that might work, but their website was REALLY slow. Thank you for the help!! I'm more inspired now! (I'm think I'm going to brave a few stores Saturday. BY MYSELF. No kids allowed!!)

Michelle...yes, if you remember the lady's address for the girl dresses, I'd appreciate it. (I have never purchased anything on ebay...)

And, today, I will claim two of my three pounds. So, Miss Jackie, please add another 2 (down 20!!!) to Bubba.

YEAH!!!!!! Carolyn. Congradulations!

I am very exvited. We are on the right track to creating a beef cake.
 
Good going kids! Bubba weighs 153 pounds right now....but we need to beef him up....Bubba is a manly man, so let's give him more muscle!

Well, I can't claim that mystery pound from early last week (knew it was fluke) and certainly wouldn't deserve it anyway. Too much 'convenience' foods this week and an overindulgence of those nasty (and much loved) french fries! Topped the week off with a root beer float last night....a real full blown ice cream, not diet root beer one.... Wassup with that? :confused3 So it's back to the grocery store for me today and back to packing lunches. Need to stop spending $$ on dining out too! I drug out and dusted off my exercise tapes....they're right there...sitting next to the VCR, ready to go.

Welll, I'm off to cruise the cruise forums before hitting the shower and starting my day. O&D and RTD everyone!
 
Jackie, I added up what we spent last month eating out and dan near crapped myself. It was enough for several shore excursions. To top it off I also spent a boat load on groceries. Something has to go, so it is eating out. I have learned to make icecream sundaes at home instead of getting a cone at DQ. Not really the same, but difinately cheaper.

I am gonna miss those grilled chicken wraps at Chick fil A, but I will try to learn to make them at home as well.

Have a great week all.

I was doing really well until last night. We went to a Wedding and they had BOTH of my true weakness sea food casserole and Cheese Cake. In a moment of weakness I had 7 pieces of cheese cake (the waitress kept bring them to me she said people didn’t want it was left over) and two helpings of sea food casserole. I love cheese cake there were still 8 pieces left on the table when all the food was picked up, so I guess I did exercise some restraint. I LOVE CHEESE CAKE. For my 25 Birthday my DW worked next to Alden Maeral Cheese Cake Factory and she brought home 2 full size pies and 6 individual one for the kids. I ate mine (all of it) two of the small ones that weren’t eaten and part of the second. Like I said I love cheese cake.
OK I stopped because I was full. I couldn’t eat anymore.

Now that takes the cake! :lmao: :lmao:

That's quite an accomplishment, young man. You should know that TiggersPal makes THE BEST CHEESECAKE I HAVE EVER TASTED. So if you ever plan a visit back to your old SW stomping grounds, we'll have to have her make one for you!
 
Dee
I love chick-fil-a grilled chicken wraps but eating there is expensive. We have been eating a home manly because Vito Jr has no control in a restaurant.
Jackie
It does feel like a chore when you need to plan out the week of what to pack for lunch, but you diffenently see success when you do. Is Peg home yet?
Devin
You a wild cheese cake eatin' fool :thumbsup2 We all love cheese cake but I think you win!!!It is so rich that to me it is hard to eat more then one slice.
