This really has been a lot easier now that I have other options. . .I really have learned to savor every bite considering I've deprived myself for so long of things I used to enjoy. When I really think about it, I never really enjoyed evil carbs as much as I thought. . at least not alone. .and, at least, when they made me feel like a bloated beached whale afterwards! They really do, don't they? It is amazing what they do to your body. . think of all the growling and brewing and gasses they produce in your intestines. . When I am following plan, I do not have indigestion, I do not burp and I dont' have the funny stuff going on in my belly! I think because your body digests the food a lot slower, it doesn't feel rushed to hurry and make room for more! I really dont' know what I'm talking about but it sounds good to me. . In my pre-meat days, I would wolf down a burger or two. . fries, chips, baked beans and a salad. . you would not have been able to convince me that I would be satisfied with just a burger patty and hot sauce. . but MMmmm. .I sure am now!! I'm loving it. .

Speaking of hot sauce. . I miss Gwn, too. . That is the one good thing about October rolling around. . she'll be back to report and I can't wait to hear all about her big adventure. I sure hope she feels comfy enough with us to come back ASAP. .

I agree with everything. Point 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and especially 6. Hooray for us for eating meat. When are you suppossed to start emailing Gwn? Dont want her to forget us!!!

No. .the flavored tuna is 5 oz!!! that's why they can charge twice as much. and it never goes on sale! The small ones were 1.00 today and I had .55 coupons. .they doubled 'em so I got them for free. . however. .they would only let me get 3 .. No worries. .I just went down the road to the next Kroger and got 3 more. I have to run and get a RX later today so I'll get 3 more! I'm going there anyway so why not? Free is free. . .

no way!!!! you got it goin on with your bad self!!!

that is unbeleivable...

[aleriaaa]

we dont have krogers all the way over here...

[aleriaaa]

so you can use your coupon over and over again for each item? I never knew that. thought it was a one shot deal... or do you copy them? or just have all the multiple from the 20 newspapers you bought?

[aleriaaa]

and about this doubler...its another coupon you clip, right? It doubles all of the coupons you are using at the time????

sorry so many questions...I have no coupon experience...

OK. .I just have to stop here for a moment and really put this into perspective. . . Were we actually just talking about tuna muffins? Have we really sunk to an all time low that we need to trick our minds into thinking tuna would be good made into a muffin. . perhaps we have sunk (o. . but I guess I was not the one who actually made them. . heheh. . ) ! OMG> . we are hopelessly in love with meat!!!

No. you have to have a different coupon for each item. I buy multiple papers each week (usually I start with 3) - if they really have good coupons, I might buy a few more. I also stockpile them and wait for an item to go on sale, which is when I pounce! Typically, I try not to pay over .50 for an item. its just my stupid goal but it works and keeps my bill down. . I got 85 items today for a little over $20.00 (with coupons and bottle slips). .but that was being very frugle and only sticking to my list and only getting mostly "free" items. I did stray a bit because the manager was just marking down meat so I ended up with 8 packages of ground sirloin (included in my 20.00) ! That was a steal today but I was there a little after 8:00 and they were just getting things ready for the day. . It pays to shop early or very late (they mark stuff down after the "rush" about 7:00 at night. ) . If you really watch. . almost everything goes on sale. .I got batteries for .50, shampoo for .37 , hairspray for .37. . laundry soap for .50.

The only downside is that I end up with a lot more processed food than I'd like some times. There are always coupons for pillsbury, frozen meals, cereal and snack items!

[aleriaaa]

Im about to try tuna pancakes next. blend the tuna up with eggs and pour into little circles..drizzled with hot sauce syrup of course.. I may even make little mickey mouses

[aleriaaa]

im gonna have to start gettin the sunday papers!! you always amaze me. Then, maybe I wouldnt think I have to shop at walmart for the best deals.... We have Stop and Shops out here. the prices are ridiculous...

and..I do think the quality isnt as good at walmart, even on processed stuff. take cheezits for instance. how can the boxed cheezits taste different from both stores? walmart gets all the leftover scraps I guess. no quality control.

No. .you have to watch for stores that double. . The other grocery stores in my town (Walmart, Meijer) will only double coupons up to 50 Cents. . so that means any coupon that has a face value of .50 or less will be doubled. Where you can really rake in the good deals, are the stores that double up to a 1.00. .Any coupon $1.00 and under will be worth double its face value. Some stores (Like Kmart) will run special double coupon days a couple times per year. . some never double. You have to watch the sales, specials and markdowns to get the maximum deals. . it can be time consuming but its like a hobby for me to see how much I can save each week. I don't think my kids would eat half the time, if I didn't. . I have to save my money to pay my internet bill so I can stay in touch with my peeps, right/

I'm coming to your house for breakfast!

[IM2fat]

OK. .still have one computer and the kids are lining up. .gotta go feed them something, I suppose. . Tuna pancakes it is!!!

[SquishyPunim413]

Haha I got a good laugh out of the muffins and pancakes~!

[IM2fat]

Great Squish. . Laughter always burns a few calories too. . so its good all the way around. . my shoulder hurts. . I think sitting at this computer is killing me . wish I could get on my laptop.

[SquishyPunim413]

I honestly hate the scale....just for kicks I decided to check my weight again (I'm slightly obsessed...) Well I was 147 this morning...and after eating and drinking I was 146.6...how does that happen? I need to figure out the best time of day to weigh myself, WHEN I WEIGH THE LEAST and use that! lol

[aleriaaa]

i was reading on another thread that some people mark the scale so they are always standing in the same place. digitals tend to jump around.

I must be weird. I only step on it once. Im too afraid the outcome will be worse if I hop on again.

[aleriaaa]

IM2- you should get some help from CC. She knows her laptops! Or you can try to explain the problem and I can get my hubby to help.

[SquishyPunim413]

I have a digital....If I put it on one part of my floor...its lighter than another part of my floor.bizarre!

well we need to make sure we keep it in the right spot! preferably the kitchen, so we casn always make a better choice to eat the right thing.

now that would be weird to have the scale next to the fridge...

[aleriaaa]

GOOD MORNING

Rise and shine!!!

I know you'll love it. .

I'm still watching my Hello Kitty scale to see if it comes down in price. .I want the glass one with her face on it! I'm just too cheap to pay 70.00!!!

[msgirl]

Okay - quick drive by.....I will catch up on all the other posts sometime tonight or tomorrow.

I am up another 1/2 pound!!!GRRRRRRR~~~!


If you only knew all the temptation I withstood yesterday and still up a 1/2 pound. So in three days I am up a 1 and 1/2!!! I can handle not losing or staying the same but going up everyday?????

It totally doesn't make sense UNLESS......I am one of those who cannot have ANY fat.

All I had yesterday was:

2 CO cubes
a sirloin (with fat), small salad(mainly lettuce and a little ranch), tiny bit of broccoli
a turkey leg
coffee/cream

Here's the deal...I am going totally lean from today until Thursday. If I don't start to see some losses on the scale, I am about to move on to something else. No coconut oil, no fat, no nothing.....just lean protein for four full days....I will deal with the tummy growling.

I heard I have been challenged by AL - so hear goes!!! It's on!! If I don't lose by Thursday....well I may just jump over the edge. The only way I could sustain this diet before was that I would lose constantly. But, I was eating very lean. I am impatient and just cannot keep up with combating temptation if I am not seeing losses. Call me crazy but that is just the way I am made!

See you all tomorrow....after a loss.....I hope
