Run, run, as fast as you can....

I'll tell you what I did when I couldn't find LC catsup when I was doing QWL...

Take a can of tomato sauce and add some Splenda to it and a lil onion or garlic powder to that and mix and put into an old catsup bottle or any jar will do.

Now that I'm doing raw foods, I don't use Splenda. I've read that it stays in your intestines for who knows how long... 3 days after you eat it it still doesn't show up. so what's it doing and where's it doing it? that's a good question...

For sweetener I use raw Agave Nectar. But it's NOT low carb. So unless you're going to go the raw way don't use it for LC diets... 16 carbs in a TBLs. and 60 calories...

I wasn't whistling >>. but I did sing tonight while coming back to the bus garage after my last run... strange lil song I made up... Rudalphalo the red nosed raindeer...lol I think I inhaled too much exhaust(sp) today...

Doit... so happy you decided to hang out with us.... I am eating all natural..
for years.. because of my Lichen Planus... it has really helped...

Waving to all.... had my 2 warm hard boiled eggs.. aunatural... ahh my fav..

Later all...

doit · 12-09-2006, 06:51 AM

Yeah... idio.. I'm glad too... but all ntural isn't eating meats ... natural foods are raw foods.

My mom isn't better... the inflamation in her sholder isn't better. She may never get the full use of her arm back.

182.4 this morning.

Melly · 12-09-2006, 07:59 AM

DEBI IN OHIO · 12-09-2006, 12:08 PM

Melly, nice dress and great pics

Tom is definatly here

along with cramps which I dont usually get

I purchased the BEAN not sure if u all know what it is, but I HATE exercise, its easier than trying to balance on those stupid balls.
I will place it in the living room as a "reg" part of the furniture, hoping my 9 year old boy will use it, while playing video games, since he cant sit still lol. I measured him this am and told him we will check them again in a month, his waist is 34!!!! man I knew his tummy was large but WOW, that is where all his weight is, hes a tall boy, hope he stretches out somemore while growing.
My lower stomach is awfully large and droppy I sure hope this helps, it doesnt hurt my back at all YET!!

This Thursday is 2 months on track....hope TOM takes all the extra weight with him

doit · 12-10-2006, 06:08 AM

Melly · 12-10-2006, 06:11 AM

OMG Doit!!!!!!!! That is GREAT!!!!!

doit · 12-10-2006, 06:13 AM

I'm feeling better about my weight, I know that this time I'll get there and stay there too...

Melly · 12-10-2006, 06:14 AM

You are getting there Doit.......I am impressed!!!!!!!

doit · 12-10-2006, 06:31 AM

I'm impressed too...lol

I didn't think I could lose weight eating veggies... but I can if I eat raw and fruits too. only thing is I can't eat a lot. I'm sure when I get to where I want to be I'll be able to eat a whole lot more and still stay at the weight I want to be.

idioglossic · 12-10-2006, 06:48 AM

Hi all...

Just dropping by between cleaning the house and porch and gardening...and deciding which christmas decoratins to use this year..

Doit.... you are doing fan flipping tastic....
I STILL pray your mom will improve... is she seeing a physical therapist?

Melly you did not mention your mom... so I hope her trip home and was fine and she is coping... love the pics of your daughter... wow has she ever grown up...

This weekend my mom is making me crazy.... but I am living in the moment... and taking the time off to order my life...

Smile... next is to vacuum my couch to get the dog hairs off...

ahhh the bliss of animals.... then to clean the bird cages....

okie dokie back to work....** in my best Maynard G Crebbs voice...***

doit · 12-10-2006, 07:35 AM

Thanks... Pam... no my mom isn't better... but I have read that pineapple juice (fresh squeezed of course) gets rid of inflamtion. So When I get my retroactive check this Wed. I'm going out and getting her a juicer (not one I'd buy) and some pineapple and juice her up.

Melly · 12-10-2006, 08:33 AM

Pam my momma is doing great. She is enjoying being at home but it is killing her that she can't hit the Christmas sales at the stores

Doit I would have to go back and look thru the threads to see exactly what you are eating and well......I am lazy!!!!! Do you ever cook any of your veggies? What exactly are you eating? I have been having fruit, salads and celery. Occasionally I will have a couple scrambled eggs. I have lost some this past week but have been at a stand still for several days.....but NO GAIN!!!

I have been up since early this morning cleaning, cooking and doing laundry. My momma was wanting me to make her some fudge so I made a batch this morning and have banana bread in the oven

Don't worry......I have no desire for any of it!!!!!

Yesterday was my anniversary and my hubby sent me the most beautiful bouquet of roses to work on Friday.....I brought them home yesterday and must say they look wonderful on my dining room table

Mom2Daisy · 12-10-2006, 09:00 AM

Hidee Ho all!
Looks like you all are doing super!!

Melly, Your daughter is beautiful! The red dress suited her well.

Doit, I'm impressed. I'm hoping to meet you in the 180's soon enough.

I'm holding steady at 221 YAY! Considering I had a wing-a-paloosa Friday and a Christmas party last night. I'm jumping for joy with my stand-still. I did make good low carb choices but it was more fat/calories than I'm used to. Absolutely no crackers/breads or sugar. Had a few wings, ham and cream cheese roll ups, spinach dip and cheese. All in all I was proud of myself

.
Also.....I'm so proud of myself I ran and told my DH immediately! For the Christmas party I brought something sweet. Chocolate covered grapes. They are divine. But to make them you must melt a whole pot of chocolate. I had it up to my elbows by the time I finished and I DIDN'T EVEN LICK MY FINGERS, SPOON, OR ELBOW!!! Not one crumb of chocolate crossed my lips. I can appreciate even more how tempting those cookies must have been. (can't remember which one of you was baking in the past week or so

) Wasn't sure if I could do it or not. But I did!!

I have another challenge today....chili dinner for DH & his Dad's birthday. I'm going to bring some chicken breast. I may even eat before I go and play with the kids to avoid sitting with the others to eat. His step mom is a royal pain as far as getting into your personal business. She'll have more than two cents to add if I tell her exactly how I'm eating.

Food for today:
B-Scrambled eggs w/hot sauce
L-Chicken breast
S-cottage cheese
D- Beef or fish

Have a roasty toasty day!!
Angela

A quick fly by to say still here, still on track. Went to a party and drank water only and ate before I left.

Didnt weigh this morning because sleep was so interupted. I just got up, took care of the puppy, drank some coffee and warmed up. lol

Hope all is well with you all.

Hoops · 12-10-2006, 04:24 PM

December Dolls!

I got back on track on Thursday after 5 days of eating anything I chose, and I've dropped 3 pounds doing LC in 3 days. I've been enjoying the salads the most, but I will get back to Stillman's QWL any day now. I know it produces the most weight loss. I also need to get exercising again. WTH! So, my simple goals:
1. QWL for 10 days before Christmas
2. Exercise 10 times before Christmas

Chantel~ Nice woosh! I need to get moving on the T-Tapp again!

I

carne asada, although it is cumbersome trying to get rid of all the fat. Hey, a lot worse choices. I look at carne asada like eating hot dogs in regard to the fat.

Brittany~

Melly~ Will you be routed through Vegas for your trip? I'd love to get together. I am too young to show the cleavage, too.

Angela~

Show it off!!!!!!

Karen~ I hope you feel better!

Amy~

Don't fast to offset a binge. It truly will be lost very quickly by following QWL. You can do it!

Deb~ I'll take the cramps of TOM vs the alternative... no TOM due to other things!

Doit, Slat, Pammy, Anna~ HELLO!!!!

Hoops · 12-10-2006, 04:31 PM

By the way, I was shopping yesterday with sis. I bought 2 sizes of jeans... 12's and 14's!

It really stinks, because the 14's are a little loose, but the 12's are a little snug for my liking. Maybe I could just lose 5 pounds and return those darn 14's.

I bought a new laptop computer yesterday. I

it. I bought my son a laptop for Christmas, and I knew I needed a new one, too. It has two remote controls and all sorts of functions. I bought way more than I probably needed.

I think between the plasma and two laptops.... I need to stay out of Best Buy! I don't even like shopping, which is a good thing. I'd be broke!

Anyone done with their Christmas shopping?

Laura sorry I won't be coming thru Vegas.......we are flying thru Phoenix......wanna drive over and meet me?

doit · 12-10-2006, 08:41 PM

Don't feel bad Melly... I haven't started either... Get a big check on Wed. though.

Melly... I'm eating raw foods. I don't eat anything that's cooked unless it's a Holiday... or a Bitrhday. A special day, and I'll have some cooked foods. But for the most part I eat raw fruits and raw veggies. I eat sprouted grains and just about any kind of sprouts. I process the sprouted grains and add things like Agave Nectar to some and nut butter to that too, to make cookies. I made raw rolls and raw crackers and raw cookies. I dehyrated them in my dehyrator. The last ones I made were really crunchy and very tasty too.

My mom want to have ham and scalloped potatoes and baked beans for Christmas. I wanted turkey and all the trimmings again for that day... but I said ok and I'd have that for New Years Day, instead.

ok I'm going to bed.. good night everyone.

Hoops · 12-11-2006, 07:02 AM

December Dolls~

I am the same weight as yesterday. I still need to lose 3 pounds to get back to where I started at the beginning of the month. I'd like to lose at least 3 more in addition to that before Christmas. That is 3 pounds a week.

Melly~ The Phx airport is at least a 5 hour drive from my house.

Doit~ You are so wise to shop after you have the money. I never buy anything I can't pay for that same day, except my house.

Credit cards have hurt a lot of people. Good job!

slatman · 12-11-2006, 07:18 AM

A bit off track this weekend... bbq.. beer.. you know the rest of the story

Fasting today with a grey sea salt roto rooter

Hope everyone had a great weekend

Chantel · 12-11-2006, 07:29 AM

Hi people.
All is well here. I actually made progress in my "tight jeans" challenge. Hoops sis "Vicki" is over there as well.

Menu is eggs, chicken, cottage cheese.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

I have 2 parties this week. One is a dinner for us community volunteers. Hope I can pick my way through that. Then Friday is family night at the church. That will be easy to skip the foods as the kids are doing crafts. So I will eat first and hang with the kiddos. No worries.

Need to stay on course!

Doit, Slat, Pammy, Anna~ HELLO!!!! __________________ Laura~ 36 yo.... I the San Antonio Spurs! Fasting... day 6 Last edited by Hoops : 12-10-2006 at 04:25 PM.

I bought 2 sizes of jeans... 12's and 14's! It really stinks, because the 14's are a little loose, but the 12's are a little snug for my liking. Maybe I could just lose 5 pounds and return those darn 14's. I bought a new laptop computer yesterday. I it. I bought my son a laptop for Christmas, and I knew I needed a new one, too. It has two remote controls and all sorts of functions. I bought way more than I probably needed. I think between the plasma and two laptops.... I need to stay out of Best Buy! I don't even like shopping, which is a good thing. I'd be broke! Anyone done with their Christmas shopping?

I haven't started either... Get a big check on Wed. though. Melly... I'm eating raw foods. I don't eat anything that's cooked unless it's a Holiday... or a Bitrhday. A special day, and I'll have some cooked foods. But for the most part I eat raw fruits and raw veggies. I eat sprouted grains and just about any kind of sprouts. I process the sprouted grains and add things like Agave Nectar to some and nut butter to that too, to make cookies. I made raw rolls and raw crackers and raw cookies. I dehyrated them in my dehyrator. The last ones I made were really crunchy and very tasty too. My mom want to have ham and scalloped potatoes and baked beans for Christmas. I wanted turkey and all the trimmings again for that day... but I said ok and I'd have that for New Years Day, instead. ok I'm going to bed.. good night everyone.

I still need to lose 3 pounds to get back to where I started at the beginning of the month. I'd like to lose at least 3 more in addition to that before Christmas. That is 3 pounds a week. Melly~ The Phx airport is at least a 5 hour drive from my house. Doit~ You are so wise to shop after you have the money. I never buy anything I can't pay for that same day, except my house. Credit cards have hurt a lot of people. Good job!

Menu is eggs, chicken, cottage cheese. Have a wonderful day everyone. I have 2 parties this week. One is a dinner for us community volunteers. Hope I can pick my way through that. Then Friday is family night at the church. That will be easy to skip the foods as the kids are doing crafts. So I will eat first and hang with the kiddos. No worries. Need to stay on course!
