I just want to clarify to those of you who have been 'following' me...and helping me...

I originally stated that my start weight was 165. This is what the scale at home showed. At that time, the scale at work showed 167. For obvious reasons, I went with the lower number. Two things - I am told that the scale here at work is very accurate. Also, I'm finding that I'm actually weighing myself HERE and not at home...so I feel I should use these numbers, in order to stay accurate. So, technically, I am actually down 4 pounds since last Monday. Feels great!

Excellent!! :thup:
Yes, it wise to stick with one scale as opposed to 2 different ones.
I like to weigh naked in my bathroom after shower and potty. Sorry if thats TMI!! :lol: :p

I'm almost tempted to take my name off the weigh in list these days. It's depressing entering a new gain in every week. I'm struggling here desperately fellow SBers. I just can't seem to get it together. I know in time that the motivation will return. Summer is notoriously hard for me but I will persevere. I need to keep coming here, even though the reporting isn't pretty.

From todays Jillian Micheals tips:

FRIDAY: FEELING GOOD


Do You Have the Right Attitude?
Do you have what it takes to reach your weight-loss goals? If you think it's all about diet and exercise, you're wrong.
It sounds crazy, I know. Exercise and a proper diet are crucial to all weight-loss and fitness programs. But to reach any long-term goal — especially one that requires a major lifestyle change — you need to improve your attitude too. You can have all the external support in the world, but if your self-esteem is in the toilet, you'll never have long-term success.
Having the right attitude is so important because thought is behavior. The power of the mind is total — the way you think about yourself manifests as your reality. We all know how easily negative thoughts can lead to lack of confidence, hopelessness, and depression. You've heard about self-fulfilling prophecy, right? Well, if you tell yourself that you'll always be fat or you'll never find happiness, chances are you'll end up fat and unhappy. Hey, it makes sense.
Okay then, let's turn that scenario around. Tell yourself that you can get fit and you will be happy. It's that simple. You can master your own fate with positive thinking!

Can someone clear up the food item "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray" for me? It says deleted, does that mean we can not use it?

What do you need a spray for?

I use EVOO for sauteeing...."Pam grill spray" for when I grill.

I like to have a hint of buttery taste on my veggies with dinner. I was also thinking of using it on a multi-grain english muffin.

I like to have a hint of buttery taste on my veggies with dinner. I was also thinking of using it on a multi-grain english muffin.

I understand. Pam makes a butter flavored spray.
I've used Smart Balance on my veggies and as a spread.
Now, my advice to you on eating a multi grain muffin so soon into your phase II.
I'd wait...I don't think that adding in flour at this stage of your phase II is wise.....way too soon. Start out with sweet potato first as that is a starchy veggie....second step would be to go to an actual grain as in oats in oatmeal. rolled, steel cut or old fashioned oats are acceptable...no instant!!

Do you understand why I say this?

OK...this is where it can get kinda confusing. Experience is what wins out here so please bare with me as I try to guide you through this.

As we enter into phase II, we begin to develop a food plan that we can use for the rest of our lives. This is where we learn which carbs our bodies do best with...and which drive us to overeat. I learned that wheat triggers my appetite and it leaves me very hungry...so I tend to avoid it as a grain in general and because of all the grains, wheat is the worst one to eat.

Now, on the( shhhhh...atkins carb ladder :lol: ) , grains are the very last group to add in on that plan...and this makes a lot of sense to me. so that is what I did....waited until I added in starchy veggies first, then added in grains.
Also, a muffin is made from processed grain, not using the whole grain and even whole grain flour is still flour. At the start it is best to add in foods in as whole a state as possible and avoid flour/bread until you are well advanced in phase II and close to your goal.
So...I highly recommend eating sweet potatoes, butternut squash, peas and carrots...as your first starches of phase II......if you need to have cereal, oatmeal will be your best choice...plain old fashioned oats, steel cut or rolled...no instant!! The less processed, the better.

Does that explain it?

Thanks for clarifying but I still have a question. Aside from triggering you to eat more, what else is wrong with the multi-grain english muffin? Is the appetite stimulant the only factor to consider with consumption of whole wheat flour products? Or is it just a matter of exerting self control/portion control when it comes to these items? I thought whole wheat flour was ok?

According to most people that push the SAD...whole wheat products are da bomb! Not to me and many people around here.:nono:
Wheat can be very addictive. Also, if you are engaging in very strenuous exercise, then the bread/flour may not be a factor...but if you aren't, flour will inhibit your weight loss...any flour!! :idea:
I wouldn't be telling you any of this if I didn't know it to be true. If you do go ahead with the muffin, know that 1/2 is a serving, not the whole muffin. And....if your weight slows or stops, then please don't eat them again until later when you are close to your goal. :)

[KellyAnne1]

Woo Hoo for you anyway! You're still down!

I'm scared to weight in today. I was 160 last night, with a full stomach of food...and I usually weight mid day on an empty stomach...but I was in the ER and received IV fluids, so I just know I'm going to be up today. Oh well. We'll see later.

Woo Hoo for you anyway! You're still down!

I'm scared to weight in today. I was 160 last night, with a full stomach of food...and I usually weight mid day on an empty stomach...but I was in the ER and received IV fluids, so I just know I'm going to be up today. Oh well. We'll see later.


Kelli: Sorry to hear you were in the ER. Hope all is ok! And thanks allot for the kuddos!!!

I haven't not weighed yet today so I can't weighin yet...just wanted to bring down a new list with all the weighins. ;)

Kellyanne! WTH? Why did you need to go to the ER for IV fluids? Please explain! I seriously hope that you are alright!! :there:

Welcome Back Donnaliz!! :wave:

FYI- There is nothing stopping you all from using your weighin from Sunday or Saturday. I tend to use my Saturday weighin but not this week as I was out to dinner Friday night and had water weight gain, from too much salt, to get rid of.

A key to seeing a good low weighin 2 days in a row, is to not use food rewards when you see a good weight on the scale. This is something that I'm always working on with myself. :o :lol:

[KellyAnne1]

Judy - I was having the whole lightheaded / sharp pains in the head thing again. Which, i knew was from not eating enough over the weekend, though it was still worrisome. But, I went to get in the shower and as soon as I undressed, I saw little purple spots all over my body...the size of a mole, or larger freckle...but they were purple! Almost looked like bleeding under the skin. I freaked out and ran right to the ER. Before even running tests, the doc took one look at my urine and said, "You're in Ketoacedosis", which he explained I WANT if I'm trying to lose weight, but that this was way, way too much. Blood tests confirmed. I've elaborated further in my journal. He couldn't explain the purple dots. I have an appt. with my family doctor tomorrow, who will probably refer me to a dermatologist. All other blood tests came back clear (clotting, HIV, liver functions)...but they did confirm that my body is starving. :confused:

I dunno Judy ... I understand what you're saying but for me it would go against being honest with myself...ya know? Especially since it's date specific. It is what it is...whether it's Monday, Friday or any day. Although I do remember when I went to Weight Watchers years and years ago I hated Monday meetings -- I always wanted a Friday meeting. Maybe we can switch the weigh in days to Friday?? :lol: :lol:

Its always your choice Gayle....I was trying to give all of you other options as we are all working hard at this and deserve to acknowledge the work. :agree:
If its better for you to weighin on Friday, then do that!!
But the point of not weighing in on Friday is to avoid the food rewards that can happen over the weekend. :o

I'm not a doctor, nurse, or anything else medically connected, but from what I know and have read, ketoacidosis is a life-threatening condition that occurs in Type 1 diabetics. Unless you're a Type 1 diabetic, most likely what you had was ketosis, which is non-life threatening. If your doctor told you that you had ketoacidosis, I would question why he/she thought so. Ketoacidosis that would occur in a non-diabetic is somewhat suspicious.

"Ketoacidosis is an extreme and uncontrolled form of ketosis, which is a normal response to prolonged fasting. In ketoacidosis, the body fails to adequately regulate ketone production causing such a severe accumulation of keto acids that the pH of the blood is substantially decreased.

Ketoacidosis is most common in untreated type 1 diabetes mellitus, when the liver breaks down fat and proteins in response to a perceived need for respiratory substrate. Prolonged alcoholism may lead to alcoholic ketoacidosis. Fasting leads to ketosis but not ketoacidosis."

Great post Char!! :thup: Thank you!!

[gmmd]

Oh absolutely we deserve to acknowledge our hard work and having a good Monday weigh in IS without a doubt proof of that. It's just not an accurate representation of the thread if we don't weigh Monday -- or weigh in consistently whatever day you choose.

I tend to use my Saturday weighin but not this week as I was out to dinner Friday night and had water weight gain, from too much salt, to get rid of.

I don't know - I've owned up to my weight fluctuations - I'd love to choose yesterday's number instead of today's but it's just not the case. Perhaps I'll just continue to be accountable for my weight in my journal like I do now.

I'm not trying to be argumentative at all - I just don't see the point. We all have fluctuations in our numbers....

[KellyAnne1]

No clue. I'm stumped, too. I'm just going by what he told me for now. I did make a follow up with my regular doctor, and will see him tomorrow at 11:45. Thanks!

I tend to use my Saturday weighin but not this week as I was out to dinner Friday night and had water weight gain, from too much salt, to get rid of.


You have an issue with when I chose to count my weight? Please explain as I don't get this at all.


Oh absolutely we deserve to acknowledge our hard work and having a good Monday weigh in IS without a doubt proof of that. It's just not an accurate representation of the thread if we don't weigh Monday -- or weigh in consistently whatever day you choose.

I don't know - I've owned up to my weight fluctuations - I'd love to choose yesterday's number instead of today's but it's just not the case. Perhaps I'll just continue to be accountable for my weight in my journal like I do now. I'm not trying to be argumentative at all - I just don't see the point. We all have fluctuations in our numbers....
I am not looking for weight loss any longer and have hesistated in the past about weighing in here. But I decided long ago that I would weigh in with whoever is doing SB also. Maintenance goals are different from weight loss goals.
If it works for me to use numbers that help me to feel better about myself and what I'm currently doing, why should that bother you?


As you say Gayle, Do what works 4 you!!

Well, okay then......just keeping it real...
So you take yourself off this weighin because you don't like that I am not consistent with my weighin day? I'm confused by this...totally!!

I try to not obsess about the numbers on the scale any longer. I use it as a tool to tell me what I can or can't eat on a given day. I used to log all my food daily into my journal for accountability and had a hard time not doing it any longer after I made it to my goal weight. It made me feel safe knwoing that I had to do that each day. But it had become a crutch that I wanted to let go of...and I did.
When I first reached my goal weight of 160, I kept going to give myself some breathing room. I maintained my weight between 156-159 for a very long time, about 3 yrs. as 160 was my cutoff for cutting way back and getting it back down again.
Last year, I got down lower and have set my upper limit at 155 now.....that is when I scale it way back for several days to keep the scale in my comfy range. I work within my range and if and when I have a water weight gain, I am on top of it to see it gone. But I am within my range of acceptable (150-155)weight and that is my goal.
If I chose to not report an inflated weight from eating out, thats my choice and I hope that I am not being judged for it. And just for the record, I was up to 155 on Saturday morning.

Now....I choose to always use my lowest weight of the week when I was still in weight loss mode. Its what kept me motivated to keep moving forward. I knew that I'd get there again even when I saw the inevitable bounce back from any new low. It was like I was dangling a carrot in front of a donkey...it worked for me. :lol:
Thats why I suggested that you can use any day that you want to weighin....we each need to make this work for us and our individual needs.

Just because something has always been a certain way( Monday weighins ~ WW), doesn't mean it is written in stone. I try to stay flexible when it come to these tools that support us, not define us.

Oh....and I'm not trying to be argumentative either, Gayle!! :wave:

[gmmd]

Judy, here's the thing with me and then let's leave it alone. If we're having a weekly weigh in with specified dates then I feel we should be reporting our weights on those days - not picking and choosing which number we like best? KWIM? For me -- just for me, that's important. It's hard to admit a gain but I do it. That's why I'll choose to report my weight in my journal....

Everyone is free to have their own opinions -- I have no issue with it at all.....I have no issue with when you weigh in. It's just not a true representation for me and wouldn't be a useful tool for me.

If I were to say something honestly --- you are looked up to here by people and offer a great deal to the South Beachers on the board. To know that you did perhaps fluctuate may make someone feel not so embarassed or apprehensive to post theirs...It would for me!

Anyway - you've come so far and are doing a fantastic job here....let's just drop it - K? :)

Nice Kellyanne! :thup: I sincerely hope that you are feeling healthier and better.

For the record, I will not be weighing in with you as a group and will continue to weighin with other maintainers. I've been at this too long to report every fluctuation on my scale...its not what my life is about any longer.

I am here to support and help you learn how to do this plan. I am not seeking weight loss any longer and am off the dieting yo-yo....and have been for more than 3 yrs now. Thank God!! :cool:

Happy July, Beachers!!

I'm not going to start a new thread for July this time and want to let this one run on. I've removed my name from this list but will still be here with you.
A few names have dropped from the list due to no weighins during June. If you return and want to be back on it, please add your name back on.

I need to explain the way I have always perceived these weighins.
It was never a "Mondays only" weighin. There was never any rule about it and I could see that making the date the Monday of each week, could easily be seen as it was. Its a good date for many to utilize as it will help them to stay on plan over the weekends when they are seeking weight loss. Off plan eating on the weekends leads to a lot of staying in one place...and when you want/need to see movement, that can be very discouraging. When I was in weight loss mode, I did use the Monday weighin to keep my on my plan on the weekends. :idea:

The only rule for being part of this weighin, is that you are eating the SBD way and that if you fail to weighin for a whole month, you fall off the list.

However, as time has gone by, it has become obvious to me, that some people need to post their weighins when it works best for them and that can change from week to week. I make no judgments about when people need or chose to post their weights. That is entirely up to the individual. So I've included "w/of" = week of, prior to the dates across the top to try to make it more clear to all. :)

OOPS! Missed those,,sorry!
yep, I read the posts about the first two weeks, and I bought the book too. My daughter is going to start when she gets back from vacation so maybe I can get her to post here as well, for the accountability and support. My husband lost about 35 pounds on Sb during the winter, but has put on some of what he lost when we stopped. He loves this WOE though so I have no problem keeping him on it.
Thanks for the welcome!

So, I'm starting to fall off the wagon a little bit. :mad: I know I need to do the exercise because my body won't lose weight any other way. However, I can't motivate myself to go to the gym....I just don't have time anymore. Does anyone have suggestions for exercise? :help: Also, my eating habits have been okay but not perfect. I REALLY need to get back on track.

Is Au Jus sauce okay on SB? I ate it today on roast beef. I know I shouldn't have, seeing as I was unsure but, I just did it anyways. Anyway, at least I'm not gaining weight! :thup:

[Judynyc]

The au jus is OK...if you feel are going off track, maybe you need to keep logging your food each day into your journal. Its a good way to keep yourself in check when you want/need to see loss. :idea:

I'm putting your weighin on this week's line, not next week.

Lake season is upon us. DH has loads of holidays over the next 2 months, so I won't be here much of the time. I'm taking my name off the weigh-in list until September when I know I will be here. I'll still be following along with everyone's progress though and cheering everyone on and of course following SB the best I can through the hectic, fun-filled times ahead.

:mad: I really need to get back on track and start logging. :tears:
I'm sorry...I know it hurts and sucks at the same time. :there:

Yes, it does help a lot when we are off track to log all food. :agree:
So, if I go to your journal today, will I find your food log? :D
Promise....that you will start again!!

Nice losses ladies after a holiday weekend!! :thup:

[donnaliz67]

Just got back from a 5-day vacation. Didn't lose while I was gone, but didn't gain either, so I'll take it.

Way to go! It's certainly an accomplishment to maintain when you are on vacation!

[Judynyc]

Good for you Donnaliz!! Thats an accomplishment! :thup:

[BMarieB]

Been trying to visit but this new job is keeping me very busy and by the time I get home sitting at a computer is the last thing I want to do.
I hope everyone is doing well, I think of all you often!

That's what I get for a weekend full of binging. :bash:

[dblewis196]

Its gonna be fine Renee! Dont beat yourself up too much! Just jump back on the wagon and move forward without glancing back. You know that come next weekend you need to forego the binges. Good luck!!!

[Judynyc]

Good Morning! :wave:

Dora is so right Renee!!
This is how we learn....I know it took me many very bad Mondays before I finally learned my lessons.
Try not to beat yourself up too badly....just move on, forgive yourself and get right back to your plan. :agree:

I've been kinda missing from the boards lately. The carb addict in me had taken over and I was really struggling to get control again.
I wish I could be one of those persons who goes on a diet and just sticks with it until all of the excess weight is gone. But I'm just not.:confused:

I'm sorry that you are having trouble staying on your plan.
I used to be like that also. It wasn't until I started my journey this time, did I begin to see it was my view of it as a diet and not a way of eating for life, that helped me to stick and stop white knuckling it...if you know what I mean.

All I can say is, ditto. Sticking to a diet just long enough to lose those 10, 20, 30lbs we want to shed doesn't work for permenant weight loss. All we can hope to gain by that are those 30lbs plus 15 more(!) when we return to our old eating habits. Only by making our new way of eating the rule, not the exception, can we hope to be counted among the successful.

It's a difficult road, but not impossible.

Thanks Renee!! :wave:

One thing that I can share with you is that eating foods you love while on plan, is a very good way to make this a permanent change.

So, ask yourself, who do you really love to eat and find a way to make it so that it fits the plan.
I've tried some new foods to me along the way too...that has made my list of acceptable foods longer than it was. :)

Hello everyone!

I started South Beach two weeks ago and began Phase Two today after losing 10 lbs on P1. I'm feeling fantastic and apparently my face is thinner which is great to hear. I have some really fantastic support as my husband is doing SB with me (he lost 8 lbs) despite not really understanding how the diet works. He's a bit of a Weight Watchers devotee, but even he admits that he would have been eating lots of unhealthy stuff if he was on WW, whereas he's been totally healthy on SB.

Just checking in. I'm still firmly on-plan, although I will admit to skipping a few snacks here and there, but that's okay on Phase 2, right? The scales haven't shifted at all so far this week which is slightly disheartening but I'm keeping on keeping on as I feel great otherwise!

I have somehow managed to lose a pound this week. Not bad, especially as I am a bit bloated. I am very, very pleased and my BMI has dropped 0.5, too!

Hi all. I'm back again and I'm going to do my best to be dedicated. I'm in phase 1 and doing it BY THE BOOK and so far, so good. Oh, one thing that was weird, my pee smelled different and kind of bad the last two days back on plan. Is that normal?

Welcome Back Aetheana,
If your pee smells odd to you, it could be from something you ate. I know that asparagus does this to mine. Was it normal color?

[Aetheana]

LOL!

I did eat asparagus both yesterday and the day before. ;)

Hard day with sky-high stress levels, but I managed to stay on-plan. On the plus side, the chilli I made for dinner tonight was pretty good, so it should be amazing by tomorrow night and I won't have to cook! Hooray!

Lost quite a bit, but not entirely happy about it as I'm also having a horrible IBS episode. Would rather have lost 3lb and not have a sore tummy in all honesty.

I'm glad to see your good loss but not happy that you are having IBS issues.....maybe I can help you figure out which food your body is having trouble with?
Do you log your food into your journal?

[AngelaUK]

I do, but I suspect that it is the caffeine in Pepsi Max or just a general excess of artificial sweeteners. I haven't felt quite right since I tried some diabetic sweets containing polyols/sugar alcohols last week.

I suspect the caffeine/Pepsi as I was fine all afternoon until I came home and had a sip of Pepsi :( Thanks, Judy!

So sorry! :( Many peopple are very sensitive to sugar alcohols.... you are wise to see this so that you can avoid them after this. :agree:

Once upon a time, I thought I was so smart to find a no sugar added soft serve ice cream and went ahead to have a rather large cup......uhoh!:eek: it was loaded with maltitol...which sent me to the bathroom for the next several hours. :o :lol: I learned my lesson!!

Ouch, Judy!! You can be sure that I am reading labels very carefully now, especially with sugarfree treats. My tummy seems to be no longer in distress which is a massive relief. I haven't tried anything caffeinated today as I'd quite like to have a nice comfortable day!! I have also done one mile of WATP which was v.energetic and I feel great!!

Hope everyone has a fantastic Saturday :D

I just realized that I forgot to put in my weight for last week. That's ok. Not much of a change. But on a positive note I didn't gain a ton of weight considering the fact that I fell off the wagon! :lol:

[RaptureRdy]

Hello All, I have enjoyed reading your posts. JudyNYC you've got some good advice and DonnaLiz67 I love your siggy, I'm a flybaby too!

Well I will start by saying that 2 years ago My son was killed in a tragically on his way home he was 19. I just didn't want to live anymore and ate my way from the 125 pounds that I was to 174. Thinking dying of a heart attack might make me be able to live with my son in heaven anyway. I praise Jesus that he was saved, and I know I will see him again. It seems from scripture ezekiel 38-39, and Psalm 83 that the Rapture of the church may take place any time now.

I care again about life, and living and I want to lose the weight I put on during the first 2 years of my grieving process. I need you guys to help me stay accountable. I love the daily weigh ins I know some people say don't weigh every day, but It helps me.

On a happy note, we are going on our first cruise with our son who lives with us and is now 19, (a whole other reason to worry since he's the same age as his brother was when he was killed) anyway, we are going as a family with his girlfriend and her family. I'm really looking forward to it, and want to drop a significant amount of weight before we leave October 30th. Just a couple months away!

So glad to be on board with you all, I hope to be an encouragement to you all as we journey this road together!

[Renee4LC]

Dear RaptureRdy~
I am so sorry to hear of your tragic loss. I hope that your faith provides comfort for you when you need it most.
This website will provide a lot of support for you. There is a recipe forum to draw from, a challenges section you can join, as well as a personal journal you can start. I wish you much success.
~Renee4LC

[RaptureRdy]

Renee4LC Thank-You so much, it's still so hard and at times seems unbearable, but then I think how far Jesus has carried me and I know he won't drop me now! I love that there is a recipe page here too, that will really help when I have to take my sb book back to the library ;-)

Ok Here goes! I must start to plan or even cook my lunch and dinner ahead of time. I did great on the first 2 weeks of the plan, when it was time to shift to phase 2, I started thinking I could make some changes do it my way and still stick to the plan, boy was I fooling myself! ;-)

Welcome RaptureRdy! :wave:

I moved your name to its proper alphabetical position. :)
Please tell us what you mean by "your way" into phase II so that I know how better to advise you.

I'm so very sorry for your loss....:(

Looks like you are doing very well so far....nice loss! :thup:

[RaptureRdy]

Hi Judy, thank-you. I am on South Beach, this is my 3rd week, so I am in the phase 2 part. I may go back to the phase one, but if I'm faithful, probably won't need to. I like having some fruit with my lunch meal. Thanks for putting me in my place (alphabetically speaking ;-)

Where are we to put our daily weigh in at? I see the weekly spot. I hope I did that right!

Yes, I know that you are on South Beach...as this is the SB section of this site. ;) I'm really glad to see that you moved onto phase II in your 3 rd week as it so important to keep moving forward. Many try to stay in phase I for too long...and against my words of wisdom. :lol: I float between all the phases now to manage my weight loss.

FYI- the weighin itself is a weekly one...if you want to post your daily weight in this thread, feel free to just post it here and or...start a journal here and keep it there. :idea:

[AngelaUK]

Urgh. I am having a really tough day. I've had to close down my little business as my mortgage company won't let me run it from home. I cannot believe how much I've been messed around over this :(

At any rate, I'm now very tearful and desperately wanting to comfort eat. It doesn't help that I baked a cake earlier for my little boy to eat with his friends when they came over to play. Oh well, I'll struggle on I suppose.

Sorry about that loss Angela...but perhaps this way you will have to find a different way to run your business.

Now onto the food thing...when I want to eat from stress or for comfort, I think about all the food that I can eat....I will not allow my mind to dwell in bad carbs.

You can do this Angela!! :agree: :thup:

Thanks Judy, I will keep that in mind once I reach my goal like you've done! You've kept it off for awhile, that must feel so good.

Angela ((((((BIG HUGS))))) I am so sorry you've had to shut down your dream, that is what it was wasn't it? Your dream doesn't have to die, maybe this is the Lords way of taking you down a different path, or at doing the same thing from a different angle. You can't have an online mortgage business with this company...are there others that encourage Mothers with young children at home, if not there should be! I hope you will not use food to medicate your pain, it doesn't work anyway. Just makes you feel worse.

Let us know how you make out and what you did instead... Enjoy a nice cup of Green Tea and take a walk with your little boy.

Thanks so much everyone! It was my dream, yes, and I'm trying to find a commercial kitchen to work from, but it doesn't seem to be a concept that has caught on in the UK :( Oh well. I'm still proud of what I achieved and I might start up again if we move house in the next few years.

I maintained this week which I'm really pleased about, especially after such a huge loss last week. Instead of going off plan when I was very miserable, I wound up making a huge curry with loads of veggies, chickpeas and 4oz of beef made into little spicy meatballs. All totally legit, eye-wateringly spicy and delicious. A good curry cheers me up almost as much as cake, and is better for me too!

I've also played lots of football and some netball too with my little monster and his friends. And I've just come in from the garden where I was weeding and I've also picked my first cherry tomatoes so I'm quite cheerful now. And this is a total epic, so I shall stop here :P

[RaptureRdy]

Oh Angela! Your attitude is beautiful, and you are doing exactly the right things to motivate! I think I understand now that you wanted to bake or do cooking of some sort in your home and the Mortgage company wouldn't allow this. We have the same sort of thing here but it's not the mortgage companies so much as the city ordinances and zoning.

I had a similar but the same sort of thing happen to me, I wanted to bake cookies and sell them, but didn't have a commercial kitchen to work from. We went to a regional restaurant chain and gave them samples and they loved my cookies so much that they let me bake them in their own commericial kitchen that they had off site. I wonder if you could approach some of the local restaurants with the proposition of giving them a percentage of your baking/cooking profits, for them as well.

Good for you that you made that delicious sounding curry recipe! I love curry too, and would love the recipe.

You didn't gain and stayed on track despite the setbacks proves that you are going to make it girl! Awesome job!

Yes, I was baking cupcakes to order for weddings, corporate events etc. It was going really well, too.

Congrats on your first few weeks! Good job! :thup:

I hope that you understand that we liked our font the way it was, so I changed it back. :)
Keep up all your good work. :agree:

Thanks for the warm welcome, Judy!

My apologies for the font gaffe, my neuroses require everything be lined up perfectly. ;)

Sorry - been swamped between the new job and getting the kids settled back into a school routine. I'm here, I'm doing "phase 1.5" this week, and my weight is down a little. Work is helping me to stay on track with my eating plan, but it's not so good as far as allowing me to have time to post about it!! LOL

I started using my SBD Cookbook.
Trying out new recipes so I wont get into the same-old-same-old routine which usually leads to a cheat. Having the right things on hand is making a difference, PLUS I got my DH on board and we are being accountable to one another. :agree:

Just sneaking back in. September has been ridiculously indulgent, especially with spending a few days in London for our little boy's birthday. Well, an early birthday while daddy had time off work, but you get the idea. We had a gorgeous Lebanese meal on Friday and I fell upon the salad like a woman possessed. Never have I felt so glad to see vegetables before!!

So, back on the wagon today with Phase 1, probably for the full two weeks!! On the plus side, I had to punch a smaller hole in my belt the other day, so something good's been happening!

Hi Angela! :wave:

What was it about that salad that made you so happy?
We have a huge selection of veggies in our phase I that we can eat as much as we like.
Perhaps you can recreate that type of salad at home?

It was tabbouleh, but with hardly any bulgar wheat. I'll certainly be recreating it at home :yum: It was just so lovely to taste zingy, fresh vegetables again and I felt great after the first mouthful!

OK...but what other veggies were in the Tabbouleh?
Here, tabbouleh I've had is made with wheat germ....bulgar wheat is a good idea too.
What made the veggies zingy?

Oh, just your regular tabbouleh. So, chopped parsley mainly, a little chopped coriander, chopped deseeded tomatoes, little bit of chopped red onion. Plenty of salt and pepper, with a dressing of lemon juice and olive oil. It was all incredibly fresh produce but I think my craving for something green made it taste even better :lol:

I do tend to avoid wheat....I'd like to try to make this salad with brown rice instead of any wheat at all.:idea:
When I buy this pre made salad, I find that I will eat larger portions that I should. :o I think that the wheat( even just the germ) truly does trigger my appetite. :idea:

Do you think that it'd taste as good with the brown rice?

I'd be more inclined to try buckwheat or quinoa than the brown rice and use a greater ratio of vegetables to grain. I think they'd suit the mouthfeel of the salad better. I don't have too much of a problem with wholewheat, so I'll sling in a little bulgar when I'm in phase 2 again.

The best thing about the meal, however, was that it got our little boy eating enthusiastically again. He loved dipping things in hummous and moutabal, and digging a huge spoon into the pile of tabbouleh. I will happily bend over backwards to do mezze style meals if it means he'll eat a decent amount of food per day. He was so stuffed that his belly button popped out! (And he got up and started belly dancing when some drum solo music started. I hadn't realised how much attention he'd paid to my own dancing over the years!)

Good that you did not gain, Angela....I moved your weighin to this week.
Do you plan to do a few days of phase I again now?

I'm planning to do the full two weeks, actually. I've been pretty much off-plan for most of the month and believe me, I can smell out carbs a mile away right now. Which reminds me to make my shopping list...

Well done, Skippie!

Lost loads this week which is such a great motivator! (Even if it is mostly water.) I will sail through tomorrow's kids birthday party without snaffling anything naughty :D Actually running around with 26 kids will probably keep me too busy to eat much at all :lol:

Hope everyone is having a great week!

[Renee4LC]

AngelaUK~
Congratulations on your weight loss!!!
As far as the kids party, I had two last weekend where there were cakes and I was really surprised that I wasn't tempted at all.

As someone else around this website has said: Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels! :D

Congrats everyone! Great weigh-ins! :thup:
