Thanks! I'm going to look over the ads this Sunday and see the current prices. Yours sounds perfect

Yesterday turned into an "all you can eat day" I didn't keep track of my calories but I'm sure it was well over my UD allotment. I got into the girls halloween candy too No worries, today is a DD and I will weigh tomorrow to see the residual damage. Hopefully it won't be too bad that a couple DDs can't fix it

[Deb294evr]

OH the dreaded Halloween candy!!.. I told the girls to get it out of the house!! It is calling me, and I am not hungry!!.. so no candy needed... haha.. It still calls me.. darn candy...

Have a great DD!!!

Still hanging around 192 which is good considering my very poor eating choices on Sunday. Today is an UD and I just had a yummy breakfast I haven't been able to sleep the past couple nights due to a little boy that was mauled to death here at the Pittsburgh Zoo. His mom put him up on the railing so he could see better and he fell over into the exhibit and the african painted dogs immediately mauled him. It is the saddest story I have ever heard. Then we find out today it's my husband's business agent's grandson. It is heartbreaking because everyone is calling the mom horrible things and I feel it could happen to anyone in a split second. The little boy wore thick glasses and couldn't see and I could just hear him asking her to lift him up to see better. It is just tragic and my heart is aching for their whole family. He was only 2 years old

[Deb294evr]

Oh Gracie, I feel so bad about this situation also.. breaks my heart!!! I know it could happen to anyone, and this poor Mom is going to be suffering for it forever probably... so horrible..

Keep on fighting the good fight! This is such a hard time of the year for everyone trying to lose weight.. ugh.. holidays all over the place for the next couple of months..we do the best we can!

[Cruzcrzy]

Gracie, there are no adequate words. How horrible. My heart aches for that family. How tragic. How awful that the mom is being criticized. You are right, it could be any one of us.

Thanks ladies. I seriously cannot stop crying I have squeezed Erin about a thousand times in the past few days. I can't imagine the pain this family is feeling right now.

[shari]

I know, it's such a tragic and sad story. I can't even think about it long enough to try to imagine what they're going through. People can be so mean and cruel, how dare they blame the mother....she's and her family are going through enough!! It does make you hug and hold dear to your heart our loved ones.

[Potaty]

Gracie~I saw that on the news and it made me sick to my stomach. I just cannot even fathom and how dare anyone point a finger. She will blame herself the rest of her life, having others judge her is so very wrong. My heart goes out to her, we all make mistakes.

The story has really made me sick to my stomach. It all happened in a split second and people are judging her horribly. I wish she could go back 30 seconds before entering that exhibit......

There are people who want charges brought up against her She just lost her only child and these people do not have any compassion for her. They are also saying she should've jumped in and saved him. Apparently people jumped on her so she couldn't get down. It must've been a horrible, tragic, scene. I've been to that exhibit and now I have nightmares. My Erin is a total climber and I constantly have to keep my hands on her. She'll even wiggle or squeeze my hand to try and get me to let go. I pray that God gives this family some kind of peace

Not sure how I'm down but I am. I was super hungry yesterday on my UD and I did overeat. I remember in the book that Dr. J says you may start getting hungrier on UDs and may have to start couting. Yesterday was definitely one of those days but somehow I lost. Not questioning - happy as a clam!!

[Deb294evr]

Great Job!! never question a loss.... Kidding, but that is wonderful. Sometimes we get hungrier before a loss, so could be why? Anyway, have a great day!

[shari]

I just can't believe the audacity of people sometimes..to want to charge the mother? Are you kidding me?!!! My goodness, it's so hypocritical that the same ones pointing their fingers have forgotten their mistakes...we all have made them, unfortunately for this mother it's one she'll never forget and will already blame herself. How selfish of others..instead of being there for support they go to blaming and cruelty. I can't imagine watching your child be maulded to death she and others will be haunted already for the rest of their lives, isn't that enough (for those wanting to charge her)?

I hope so!!! I have added something every day and it seems to be helping. I'm going to experiment for a month and let you know the results. It is not a supplement or drug of any type!

yes, therefore none of us can cast a stone. I pray for all affected too.

[Gracie514]

Good morning Scale down 2.0 lbs. and it's an UD I'm enjoying coffee and some yummy oatmeal as I type Yesterday's DD came in at 551 calories so not too bad. I even had a small bag of skittles from the kids halloween candy I have found that I get full faster now for some reason. My tummy will tell me to stop eating. Hope this continues

Today the kids have 1/2 day because it's report card time. Lots to get done - everyone have a great day!

[Deb294evr]

Wow! great job!!! Enjoy the kiddos!!..

Back to 192 after my UD - it's all good! We went to Applebee's for dinner and I had chicken fajitas so I'm sure there was a lot of sodium. Today is a DD and I'm aiming at <500 calories. So far I've had coffee/cream/equal. Going to keep it simple today

Happy Monday! I had a nice weekend with family and friends. Saturday I went shopping with my mom and sisters and DD Erin. I got some really good deals at Kohls. Then Saturday night me, DH, and DD Erin went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. Then I went out with a girlfriend for some drinks. I stuck to Michelob Ultra Yesterday I took my 2 DDs and my 2 nieces to Pizza Hut then to the park. We also went to Dairy Queen It was such a beautiful day!!! I totally overate my calories so I did not weigh this morning. Today I will focus on water, water, water, and a good DD. I'm aiming at <500 calories today. I'll weigh tomorrow and hope there' not a lot of damage from the weekend.

I'm leaving Wednesday for a business trip to Hershey, PA for a work conference. I'll be back Friday afternoon. I'm trying to figure out my rotations. I shall do my best! It's hard while traveling to keep to my numbers. Hope everyone has a great week!

Hey Gracie, glad you had a nice weekend. The weather here was gorgeous here too!
