I love love love chickpeas...I eat them in my cuos cous...I eat everything in my cous cous.

Good morning all. It took a little while to read the last 5 pages. Step away from the computer for a few hours and the vine goes from 1 page to 6! WOW.

I'm addicted to cous cous. When I got home last night I fudged around trying to figure out what I wanted to cook...dh and dd had spaghetti but I did not want that (I'd had my ground meat for the week sooo) I wound up having a bowl of cous cous with fresh tomatoes and scallions...sooooo good. I'm eating it now (8:40AM and I'm eating cous cous). It is so filling and soooo good. No chickpeas though

Congrats to all the losers.

Aija - do you live on a farm?

Dedicated - I want to come down to the beach party...I don't look too good in my swim suit yet, if you can excuse the extra rolls on my back I'll be there.

I'm 5'7.5" and it looks like we are about the same weight also...I need to get this fat off.

I'm right there with all of you. I am not anti-Atkins but I've gained and loss so many lbs on Atkins it's amazing...if I could have kept off all the weight I've actually lost doing induction I would be dead I like WW because I CAN EAT FRUIT, GRITS, COUS COUS, PASTA, BREAD, DID I MENTION FRUIT?

I've finally found my woe, something I can honestly see doing for ever I never went into Atkins thinking I would do it for a lifetime.

I'm on today, I did not go to the gym yesterday...no excuse, just did not want to go...I've fallen off the treadmill and can't get up!

Unfortunately I hold ALL of my weight in my stomach...but then again, I think it is all over...but mostly in the stomach area. Thighs and booty would be heaven to dh

Ok, adding quinoa and barley to my list of foods to purchase tonight.

Lol.....yes quinoa keeps me filled much longer than cous cous

quinoa is at whole foods or health foods store...In NY I'm yet to see it at a local grocer

I just got the new hungry girl book and I like it but I'm pizzed because it doesn't list points. You have to figure em on your own with the nutritional stats or go to the website. Sheesh, musty be a legal thing or something!

I would go thru the book and figure out the points and write it on the pages. Do you have the WW's calculator?

[Dedicated]

I only had a smoothie for breakfast and now I'm hungry so I'm eating lunch, I'll eat breakfast when I'm ready for lunch

I'll print off a list from the website and write the points in. It's just a matter of me taking the time to do it

[twinkerbell]

I just bought like 5# of bananas
I LOVE bananas!!!

1. Don't be so petty and angry...(not worth it later on and you won't remember why you were upset in the first place)

2. Your parents truly had your best interest at heart when they told you stay away from credit cards (you don't know more than them)

3. Don't worry about those losers you're going to date or dating now....(because in 9 yrs he's going to tell you about the child he fathered with someone else while with you! RUN!! Don't give him 8 yrs of your life)

Now that I got that off my chest!!! Much better now!

Truer words were never spoken.

2. Your parents truly had your best interest at heart when they told you stay away from credit cards (you don't know more than them)

This is one I should have listened to in my 20's.

3. Don't worry about those losers you're going to date or dating now....(because in 9 yrs he's going to tell you about the child he fathered with someone else while with you! RUN!! Don't give him 8 yrs of your life)

Wow! You certianly have been through a lot haven't you? But that which does not kill us makes us stronger right?

Lol I got a random call from an ex...who I haven't seen in about 5 yrs. He called just to tell me he fathered a child while we were together. lol I started laughing...I'm honestly not the same person I was then, so the laughter made him mad lol OH WELL! LOSER!

I was up all night AGAIN last night. I have a doctors appointment today and I do not wanna go.
I know I am being such a baby, but I have a lot of appointments the next few weeks and they really stress me out. Someone go for me please?


I think I may have a Splenda/sucralose allergy.
I have noticed I get little cluster headaches whenever I consume it and now I am starting to get itchy. Last night I had some protein powder and the itching was insane!!!!! Even Benadryll did not help.

Ugh I really do not have the energy to workout today after only sleeping 6 hours. If I do anything it will probably be the bike. I really wanted to do the NordicTrack followed by some bike work (enough to equate 40 minutes total aerobic so I can earn 2 AP's). Oh and I just realized today is upper body weight day. Maybe i will do those when I get back if I don't have time before the doctors.

I am so whiny today!!!!!
