Did you like that movie? I tried watching it but I kinda lost interest. It seemed to really drag on and on for me. Maybe I was too sleepy when I tried watching it.

I am not really hungry today, which is a good thing, because I didn't pack up my scale like I planned to, and I stepped on it this morning, and I'm still up. It's ok, though, because I am working out after work, and I will tomorrow, in addition to my walk. I just haven't been as active this week as usual.

Oh, Reg! I made that Enchilada Pie last night, and it is amazing! I used tomatoes, canned and diced with jalepenos, only half a pound of turkey, and added a cup of SF salsa to the meat as I cooked it. (Had to do a little substituting to use up what I had in the kitchen. ) Wow! It is great. I'll be having a piece for lunch and dinner tonight, too. LOL

Okay I'm making this enchilada pie this weekend!! Sounds delicious!

Morning everyone!! I'm up early on a Saturday morning because it's weigh in day!! It's funny I hate getting up early in the morning to go to work but I didn't have a problem getting up to go weigh in this morning. I'm so silly...

I'm so excited!! I really hope I like this leader. I'm pretty sure that I'll show a loss this week. I just checked my home scale and it said 227.5. (No Tarolee I haven't been weighing daily I just wanted to see where I stood at this morning) After the meeting I have a few errands to run and all my errands are right in the vicinity of the center. Super convenient plus it saves on gas!

I'll be back later and have a great day everyone!!!

I had 2 slices yesterday

The recipe calls for Whole Wheat Tortillas.........check the points. The La Tortilla factory Tomato Basil has the lowest fat/calories that I can find. The big ones have 100 cal and come out to 1 point. Some of the others have 170-200 cals per.

Let's assume for argument, the recipe is using the 3 point ones. The point count would be 9 for 3. If you use the ones I suggested the point count would be 3 for 3. That's a savings of 6 points per pie, or 1 point per serving !!

And, I used the ground turkey breast (0.5g fat per serving) as opposed to the regular ground turkey which has 10g per serving. I also use more turkey than the recipe calls for.

I guess I could use the recipe builder to figure it out, LOL.......but I'm too lazy.

Hope you LOVE the dish !!

Good luck to oraki, Pam, and our Saturday weighers !!

I havent had one in years.........I thought they only came in Red, Orange, Brown and Purple. There's this funky blue pop in the bag......no clue what the flavor is

Morning! Skinny vibes to our Saturday weighers! Oraki I hope you like the leader at the new meeting. My center is near all my stores too. It is very convenient.

I love my WW center. We have meetings seven days a week day and night. When I move to my summer cottage the WW meeting is very near and it is on the same day!

The recipe is using the 3 pt tortillas ... those are what I have (all I could find at the store) and I ran it through the tracker. Even at 4 pts a slice, it's a deal! It is much more filling than I had expected.

Yay!!! I'm happy for you! I'm tempted to get on the scale....I'm experimenting with my food and I want to know the reaction I'll get on the scale...but I won't.....I really want to but I won't

It's a very generous serving......but you know me.......I'm always looking for a way to hold on to my points

Tarolee...I'm still scale free !! \


Its so nice not allowing the scale to run my life. Thanks.

[Reg]

Get this.......yesterday I had the whole minivan fiasco to deal with, and it rained all day. I got all my shopping done (Costco, supermarket, etc) for a weekend family BBQ.

DH got home from his business trip around 5PM and I made Tacos for my peeps and had the Turkey Pie for myself.

After dinner, still raining, I wanted to walk and DH said "Why dont you want to 7-11 and get us coffee". So I did........1.82 miles, easy pace (slippery and rainy) but at least I got some exercise in........and 2 APs

I've walked every day this week. . I really want to be in the 190's !! Can ya tell?

What kind of exercise do you have planned for today?

I must say it's tough for me but it does feel good not "worrying" about what the number said

It was so nasty yesterday but I walked after the funeral for about half hour in the rain...today I'm walking to the shopping plaza which is a little over a mile...so I'm starting there

Ohh and I got that dance dvd and it's good. That woman can dance...I'm out of breath 3 mins in but I'm going to still press on

[twinkerbell]

Good Morning!!!!
It is finally pretty here today, the sun is out so I'm off to mow our lawn...
Oraki- we completely lost interest in that movie too!!! No clue how it turned out
Dedicated- I think I am going to make some of those apple banana muffins today. I'm not core but I've been thinking about them!
Reg- I have GOT to try that turkey pie
Have a great day!

[Dedicated]

So the reason I started this weightloss journey once again...was because I had a friends wedding this upcoming Sat. in Fl. Sure my feeling fat, almost sumo-ish had something to do with it...but I wanted to fit into my fave dress I bought 2 yrs ago. (I've worn it twice but I paid over $200) It was a size 18. In Jan I was a size 22 @ 270 lbs and restarted lc. I tried it on today and although when I wore it the first two times I was 10 lbs lighter...I put it on this morning and it Fit!!!! I'm just saying I can do backflips right now. I'm guessing I'm losing inches!!!!! I'm so shocked and excited!!! now all I have to do is be extra clean this week so I can eat at the wedding and not look 8 months prego!!!!
