Thanks ladies!!

LunaAshling · 11-06-2009, 07:27 PM

I am having a cabbage craving out of the blue. Tomorrow I am going to saute some in bacon fat.

MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

VGrace · 11-08-2009, 11:38 AM

O i love frying cabbage in bacon pieces then adding mushrooms! yummy!

I am officially down 25lbs! The wooshy fairy has been visiting me all week! I can't believe in just 5lbs I will have lost 30lbs. Hopefully I can make it my mini goal of 149 by Christmas now! I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Congratulations! I just hit the 25 pound mark as well ... although I have a lot more to lose than you do. Finally went down from obese to just overweight according to fitday as well .... That being said, I have been sick for the last few days and am having the munchies today ...trying to stay on plan is hard some days.

Thank you! And congrats to you too

Hope you feel better soon,I know the feeling when your sick and all you want are comfort type foods. Hang in there!

fireflyfaster · 11-09-2009, 08:53 AM

VGrace and Lawmom -- that's WONDERFUL! 25 pounds apiece!

And I think I'm going to try the bacon fried cabbage; sounds great. I still have three more new recipes to try to meet my mini-goal.

It occurred to me that, when I crossed into a "normal" BMI last week, I guess officially I'm not a fat mom any more! I still have plenty to go though, so don't kick me out.

I had a stranger chat me up last week -- took a few minutes to realize why this person was talking to me. Didn't help that it was while the tow truck driver was loading up my stalled pickup...

But still, it's interesting (not relevant, I'm so taken!) that men see me on their radar again.

way2fluffy · 11-09-2009, 09:53 AM

Weight today up 4 pounds....from one meal off plan!!!
Doubt it. Must be water weight as well.
Not going to let it bother me. Hit the plan hard...got exercise and weights in today.
Happy Monday All!

Yah thats definitely water weight! Drink up that water and I am sure there will be a loss tomorrow.

Hey mammas

lawmom · 11-10-2009, 11:42 AM

I had a day surgery procedure yesterday ... only ate 1 meal consisting of two breakfast tacos using the LC tortillas and 1 Atkins bar (yes I know they are bad but i have had them several times when I am having candy cravings and they have never effected me before) all day due to the time of the surgery .... thought for sure I would be down a pound or two since I had very little food yesterday... Nope, I was up almost 2 pounds this morning .... Don't get it. Wonder what was in my IV? Needless to say, I am upset and pouting ....

way2fluffy · 11-10-2009, 12:28 PM

fluid....they give you a bunch in your IV and your body is reacting to the surgical procedure by swelling etc etc. give yourself time.

what she said! lawmom I bet the weight will be gone tomorrow

How is everyone doing?

Its gotten so empty in here....

Come back ladies!!,we all fall but its all about picking yourself back up and getting back on plan! No matter what plan you follow.

I am doing well,about to go try and find me an afternoon snack after my workout,though it wasn't much of one cause I had to keep my kids from killing each other..

Have a great day ladies!!

LunaAshling · 11-10-2009, 07:24 PM

Nothing exciting to report, still trying to avoid a nervous breakdown, so nothing new.

45 days until Xmas ladies!

VGrace · 11-11-2009, 01:27 PM

Luna

wow I can't believe there is only 44 day till Christmas!!

How is everyone doing today?

SecondTimeAround · 11-11-2009, 01:33 PM

Luna, I don't know if I could wait to weigh in like you are! Kudos! I know that weighing isn't everything, but I don't know if I could give up my quasi-instant gratification known as the daily weigh-in.

Yeah, no kidding! I miss ButterflyMama's posts. I got some fresh-made almond butter at the farmer's market last week and it reminded me of her.

And where did Humbledheart disappear to?

lawmom · 11-11-2009, 09:13 PM

Hi everyone. The weight did drop back down so I guess it was the sodium/fluid from the IV. Still hoping for a little bit of a loss before the end of the week though. I enjoyed the posts from ButterflyMama and HumbledHeart as well. Hope they are both doing well. Still on plan and still hoping to be out much less of a "fat momma" come Christmas. I can't believe we are getting so close though. I actually looked at a few "Black Friday" ads online today....

Glad the weight left! Black friday gives me nightmares just thinking about it

I guess I worked retail for to long to actually enjoy it anymore! ha

Sour peach was on another thread with me for awhile .... I miss her too. Her job had gotten kind of crazy and she was going to night school as well. Hope she comes back soon.

As for Black Friday, for years and years I avoided stores like the plague on that day .... but for the last couple of years I have braved the stores with my sister. We don't get caught up in the frenzy but used it as a way to spend alone girl time together. Unfortunately, she is going to be on a cruise this year so while I am happy for her I am sad for me! I will miss her.

All of the IV fluid is back off and I am back to last week's weigh in weight of 189.2 ... Hope whoosh fairy comes tonight as I would really like to have a loss this week.

lopez8365 · 11-12-2009, 07:13 AM

Hi girls. Sorry I have been MIA for awhile. Just been very busy. Still on plan and doing well. Down to 188, I never thought the last 10-15 lbs would be so hard. I have taken a different job. Same company, different position. Also, requiring us to move. Yuck. After we moved into our house 6 years ago, I never thought I would move again.
Glad everyone else is doing well. Looking forward to Christmas this year for the first time in a long time. Family can be so brutally honest. I don't know how many more Christmas' I could have heard from my grandma," Have you been putting on weight"
This year it had better be "Have you been losing weight"

Have a great LC day. I will try to check in more often.
