Well, I haven't been doing too well all week. I'm pretty much sticking with it, but have had a few setbacks. I've been scared to step on the scale, so I'm waiting until tomorrow morning.

We went out to a Japanese Steakhouse last night, and I was pretty good. I think the sauces they use have quite a bit of sugar in them though.

TERRI my prayers are for her that she heals quickly both mentally and physically!!!

had a good week so far....haven't been on a scale yet...don't think I will for a few weeks so I can get a nice surprise...or re think depending on what I find lol but I've kept to small healthy portions..taking my lunch to work is best for me.10 brussel sprouts and a small cut of some meat..today and tomorrow might not be so good...lunch is at work the next to day provided by them lol BBQ both days with all the fixins!....

I have found my new healthy summer addiction. We do a lot and I mean A LOT of BBQing in the summer, and I have been trying to find new things to grill that would keep me on track. I was bummed that I would have to watch the sauces and what not that go along with BBQing. But what to my dreary eye would appear....a new McCormick Grill Mates seasoning that would be good for my rear. Sorry, I was trying to find something that rhymed. Anyway, I have decided that instead of burgers I would switch to Turkey Burgers, and I love BBQ sauce on my burgers, of course that is not always good. Grill Mates has a new Barbeque seasoning that tastes just like BBQ sauce. We had it 2 nights ago on pork chops, and last night on Turkey Burgers. YUUUUUMMMMMYYYY! Add a little lettuce and slice of tomato and it was perfect. Anyway, just wanted to share that for anyone who is addicted to BBQ sauce like I am. Have a great day everyone!

It's been a busy week for me too Rhonda. The kids have had softball/baseball every night this week...and I've been spending my days packing up the house. I'm just too busy in the evenings to worry about counting and measuring everything out !! I haven't been doing any snacking though and I've been drinking more water this week.

I love turkey burgers...I like them even when not trying to watch what I am eating. Red meat is just so greasy !! I like to put a slice of Kraft 2% American cheese on it too. I've found the 2% melts really well in all kinds of recipes too.

Terri, I'm so sorry You and your family are in my prayers.

I had a stomach virus over the weekend. The good news is that I lost 5 pounds. The bad news is that I think I have gained 4 of them back now that I am able to eat and retain all of my food

We are going on our first family tent camping trip with my DS(8) Cub Scout Pack this weekend so I should have a fairly active weekend. I hope to get back on track Monday.

Hi,
I would like to loose in the next six months 40 lbs. That is what I gained in two years during two pregnancy's.

I am chasing my girls but I am still gaining weight. Maybe some support could help me loose.

[seabee]

Welcome!! I know, chasing my girls around does nothing. Can I still say I'm loosing pregnancy fat if my youngest is 6?

 

[PolynesianPixie]

Of course you can join! Imagine how svelt you'll be when your hubby comes home! Just watch out for baby #3!!!


Well I was supposed to be walking with VACAMPER right now....but my DD9 has a fever today I'll get on the treadmill a little later.

 

[seabee]

I hope you feel better Ami's DD9!

 

[PolynesianPixie]

I hope you feel better Ami's DD9!

She says thanks!

 

[VACAMPER]

Ami, I thought we were cyber walking this morning? I didn't feel your presence. lol (i haven't walked yet either) How's your DD feeling. As soon as i got into town this morning they called me from school to say my dd had spilled a drink all over her so i had to turn around and take her dry clothes. So it wouldn't have worked out anyway.

amaycatbaker, welcome. Glad you joined.

seabee, if you like grilled chicken try McCormicks grill mates Montreal Steak marinade in the packets. You do add a little oil, water and vinegar to it. It couldn't add to much fat though. Let it marinade overnight. Yummy! Yummy!

I'm baking brownies right now and they smell so good! I keep reminding myself that tomorrow is weighin. I also have to make 2 baked spaghetti's tonight. I hate being fat!!!!

 

[seabee]

I love that marinade! And good luck with all the cooking. I hate being fat and having to cook good stuff that I can't or shouldn't have!

 

[Just Beachy]

Welcome, Amaycatbaker!!

I weighed today. I just ended week 5 and I didn't lose anything!! I didn't do anything different, that I can think of. I'm really disappointed!! But I won't give up. Hopefully something will show up tomorrow instead. Hope everyone else is doing well.

I have gotten my 10,000 steps in every day this week so far. Now I just need to work on what I put in my mouth. The pizza I had for lunch tasted very good however it won't feel good when I get on the scales tomorrow and I don't see a loss. Why do I do this to myself? I hope everyone else is having a great day. Good luck tomorrow with weigh in.

2 bites ladies!

i'll cyber walk.....later Lexi is feeling ok. She's a trouper! Thanks for asking! At least our DDs planned to overtake the same walk....maybe we can get together in a few days!

 

[4daubers]

May I join in as well? I would like to lose 50 lbs as well...as a starter!

Weight Watchers works best for me. I'm kicking myself for stopping working out. Last year this time, I was with a trainer a couple of times a week. Now, I've become quite the couch potato.

It's really time for me to gut check and get in good health....5lbs at a time.

Thanks!

 

[momoffive]

Well I know it's not Friday but it is 7pm on Thurs. I just got back from the physicians and have lost 6lbs since my last visit. woohoo. I didn't weigh in last week so I guess 6 in 2 is a good start. Now to add the exercise.
