Lil - you're doing great (and looking hot!)

Diva - How did you do at the ballgame? How's your daughter? I remember getting my wisdom teeth out - not fun.

Good work on the .5!

AFM, I'm down 1.2 today. Yay!

In perusing various forums yesterday before lunch I came across a few posts from people who say they stall on cabbage. You know, cabbage - the main veggie I've been eating my entire P2.

So I didn't have cabbage yesterday and I had a good loss this morning. Coincidence? Maybe - but I'll avoid cabbage for a few days to see if it's a pattern. Maybe it will help me break this down/up/up/down cycle I've got going on.

Great job Desi!

I'm stuck on this number. I think I'm going to do an apple day today. I did well yesterday. Grilled chicken w/ romaine for lunch, Grilled chicken w/ spinach for dinner. 1/2 an apple and a couple strawberries with just 2 oz of cottage cheese instead of my usual 4. Total Calories were 519. I think I drank all my water, if not I was close. I may do an apple day today. I just eat apples and nothing else?

I think up to 6 apples and only enough water to avoid being thirsty. Good luck with it. I hope it helps!

Lildrew · 08-20-2011, 06:40 AM

I am down 1.0 today!

Corey, I know it's a small things, but what about changing up what kind of meat you eat. I very rarely eat one kind of meat for both my meals. Maybe that might give you a little kick.

Here's hopin' you have a big ole whooosh!

Have a wonderful day ladies!!!!!

Marocka · 08-20-2011, 06:47 AM

KUTGW everyone!!

As for me, VLCD46, 196.0, -2LBS! 17 days to goooooooooo!! I think I just might be able to get into the 180's this round

Yay Drew!

I'm just doing apples today, but will definitely try that tomorrow. Thanks!

Balance101 · 08-20-2011, 05:21 PM

I think, no... I know I blew it today. I planned on doing an apple day so, I started out eating a half an apple around 11:30 am and then was hungry so ate the other half around 4 pm. Then I read that some do a mini steak day so preceded to having a small NY strip w/ a tomato for dinner. I'm not a big apple person and was feeling hungry.

I was confused about whether or not to drink water, so mostly didn't... I have no idea what's going to happen on that scale tomorrow, but only have myself to blame.

Lildrew · 08-20-2011, 11:03 PM

I thought an apple day meant you were allowed up to six apples in a day, and should only drink as much water as you need.

Hehe, yeah it does Drew. I messed it up. I just didn't think I could eat apples all day. I'm not that much of a fan. Luckily, I lost .8 today which brings me to 178.0 and .8 away from my 25 pound goal on this round!

I may just try that again!

Have a wonderful day ladies! Love you guys!

desifink · 08-21-2011, 06:22 AM

Congrats Corey! You're oh so close!

I'm down .4 today for 20.2 total. Yay! 20 lbs was my goal for the entire round, so anything past this is just gravy. I have 10 more days so I'm hoping for 5 more lbs. I never ever would have thought I could get to 180 this quickly!!

Yay!

I love it when we both have good days!

I might have to do the 10 days with you Des. I'd love to get to the lower portion of the 70s.

Good work on the .5!

I did "ok" at the ballgame, Desi, thanks for asking. I had my chicken with me and I ate it but that is the only thing that kept me from pillaging an entire row's worth of ballpark food. Why is it that stuff looks and SMELLS so good!? My husband had my fave polish sausage and man...I wanted it really bad. Then some terrible woman (I'm sure she's actually a nice lady, but Friday night, she was SATAN) sat down right next to me with one of those big fat yeasty smelling pretzels and a giant tub of cheeeeeeeese. I had very evil thoughts.

My kid's mouth hurts and she is pretty swollen. Makes her a cranky you-know-what

But she did go to work last night so I think she's on the road to being better.

I have no report today because it's Sunday and I'm up too early to weigh without being frustrated. Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. Mine has been terrific. And at least some of that terrificness is because of y'all. So there

Consider yourself loved all over and have a great day!

privatediva · 08-21-2011, 06:36 AM

Corey!!!!! look at your beautiful face! I love that photo. You look like an angel!

Wheee! Thanks Diva! I wasn't even sure that I was going to leave it up because I don't like what I'm wearing (an old cut up concert shirt, lol). But after your kind words, I may just have to!

I'm feeling so thankful for you guys today. I know I couldn't have lost this weight without you! Knowing that I'm going to share my weight with you guys every morning has gotten me this far. Thank you!

privatediva · 08-21-2011, 07:11 AM

I feel just the same. Thanks for that!

Balance101 · 08-21-2011, 07:54 AM

Hehe, I'm looking forward to it too. I just don't feel like I'm done losing yet.

I can't believe I am sharing this pic but, Diva was brave enough to share, so I'm going to too. Even though it's just my face, I think you can see a difference. And omg, I remember when I thought this was a good picture of myself!

You are doing great Corey!!! Your avatar is STUNNING!!!! You look like a model!!!!

I am down zero today, but I am happy with that because I ended up having an additional serving of meat yesterday.

I went with my parents to another congregation (my dad was helping out) and the people there hadn't seen me in months. They were shocked and VERY complimentary!!! I was a very nice day of positive reinforcement!!!
