Granted, it'll be easy for me, because I'll be home.

Share your strategies ladies
.....and then think about us when you're starting to snack.

We'll expect a full report on Monday morning.

Yes! Let's do it!! Super Bowl Sunday used to be just another excuse to binge, but no more. My strategies will include lots of wings and celery plus a no sabotage, no setbacks, no shenanigating mindset.

Have fun everyone!

[kittycitygirl]

Sounds like we have a plan of a action to avoid carb assaults! Let's show those nasty carbs the door!

[JillAnne]

Thanks Janice! Your superbowl plan sounds awesome. Agreed though, public outings that are non-LC oriented are the hardest. Good luck, you can do it!

I bought some pepperoni to microwave into chip like crispiness and will dip it in some LC spin-art dip I make. Superbowl is really hard for me!

[Texas Cowgirl]

TC is sneaking between the tents, trying to get back from a weekend of shenaniganating... Almost back to my tent...No one has seen me yet.. Maybe I can make it!

[kittycitygirl]

Caught you!

[kittycitygirl]

LOL!

[Texas Cowgirl]

Oh, no! Sarge, I'm sorry! It, uh, wasn't my fault! See, I was with these evil people that just kept cooking such good, uh, evil food. OK, I'll confess. I was one of the cooks, too! But I'll get back on track now. Just don't give me KP duty for punishment!

[kittycitygirl]

We know you'll be back on plan...or else! LOL

[jumpstart24]

TC!!!!!!! I tried to distract Sarge, but she's always on duty!!!
Glad the shenanigating is over.

I did okay - stayed mostly on plan with only a little taste of "this or that". Had a lot of salty meats, so my weight is up a bit. Hopefully I'll be back to last week's weigh in in a day or two.

But I did SOOOOO much better than past years... so a victory in my book!

[freeman525]

Well, a little snow caused our church services to be cancelled. So what did I do with two, count 'em two, key lime pies? Thankfully, my son and family came over for a super bowl dinner and I got rid of MOST of one b/c my son loves that pie and DGS, who never eats sweets, ate about 1/4 of a pie. I sent my son home with 1/2 of the second pie and there's 1/2 of one sitting in my frig. I ate a piece but am down a pound from yesterday morning. Hopefully my husband will finish it up in the next day or so.

TC, thanks for the laugh out loud-

Have a great day!
Janice

PS Anyone watching TV this morning notice the plethora of weight loss ads? Almost as many as New Year's Day...

[kittycitygirl]

The after super bowl weight loss ads...ughhhh! Only good thing, others are less likely to try to tempt you when they are in this short period before they sadly cave.....

No more shenanigating! We can do this! Fat bombs will be passed out immediately! Line up!

Please make my Fat Bomb sodium free. I gained 1.5 pounds from yesterday on about 10 carbs- had to be the pepperoni slices!

My body held onto that little bit of extra eight from Sunday.
I really had a good week otherwise and was expecting a loss.
Big push this week, Sarge!

[kittycitygirl]

Not panicking--definitely because of TOM.

[Mobird]

On another note, lent starts next week, the day before this challenge finishes, and that's a six week period also. I've always used it in the past to give up something that I was eating that I felt was getting out of control, but in the last year doing LC I don't feel that way about any food or food group. Anyone interested in another six weeks with a specific commitment to help us achieve our goals? Suggestions?

I was trying to look on the bright side of my slow weight loss and I figured out that if I lost only 2 pounds every six weeks this year I'd still be down 16 pounds by the end of the year. Of course I'd like to lose it by summer but I'm going for the mindset here--progress in the right direction is what matters.

[Texas Cowgirl]

Mobird, I've given things up for Lent before -- chocolate, all caffeine (which also included Chocolate!), cigarettes (34 years ago and never went back! ), but some years I make a positive vow -- something I am going to do. And mine for this Lent definitely should be getting back on track, including back to recording weight and food daily -- I could do it after reading daily devotional. Thanks for the inspiration!

[kittycitygirl]

Have been thinking that the next challenge. It could start on Mon. and run for 6 weeks...the Mon. After Easter would be our last weigh in. What do you all think?

That works for me. Thanks, Kitty.

Hello everyone! Looks like you've been doing wonderfully! Glad to see it, happy for all of you. Take care. As for me it was just an accomplishment to get on the scale.. :-)

[Texas Cowgirl]

Mondays are rough weigh-in days, but we can do it, Sarge! And maybe that's what we need!

[Mobird]

I had the same reaction--maybe Mondays are rough but necessary. I'm in, and I think I'm going to go with TC and to get back to daily recording too.

I'm happy to have fallen in with such a great group!

Works for me, Kitty!

I have to think about Lent. There's not much to give up at this point so I think having a thing to DO is a really good idea. I'll think about mine.

Big hug for the group!
We've all come so far!

This is definitely the way I think now. I just want to keep moving in the right direction. It's not going to happen EVERY week - because life happens - but I'd like to keep an overall trend towards my goal.... slow and steady. I also chopped my goal into small goals. So right now I'm only 9 lbs from a short term goal.
We can do this...

[kittycitygirl]

Yes, tough, but it helps curb those weekend shinanigans!

Glad you fell in with us Mobird!

Lizzie! You lost, that is awesome with all you've been through! I'd be humongous draining my sorry butt in carby crap.

Great way of thinking Margaret and Mobird!

We can do this TC!

Made it through that diet cursed football game without eating off plan. I probably over ate on plan, but it was all low carb items.

Has anyone tried this soup? CAULIFLOWER BISQUE - Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes

I made it last weekend and it.was.amazing!!!
