Marlaine, a reporter reported seeing fireworks in the sky. Now I know it came your way. Congratulation and welcome to 190's. You made my day with this wonderful news.

Thank you Thank you ladies!! It feels really good to have that particular pound off. It also feels great to have you cheering for me. Means a lot to me. Thanks again.

Marlaine

I forgot to let you know that I tried the Mock Danish (in fact, I've had it about 4 times) and yum! Wow! What a pleasant treat that was. This morning, I added fresh strawberries and whipped cream and I though I felt like I was eating a Belgium waffle! Thanks for telling us about it :-)

I've started adding an extra ounce of cream cheese to it to help get my calories and carbs up. Tastes pretty darn good that way!

Marlaine

I added a little extra creem cheese today also (2 1/2 ounces) and it's less eggy that way. The true test will be making for my mother and sister tomorrow...my mom is hesitant to try anything, but, I think she will enjoy this!

I just tried it and I was blown away. I used cinnamon and butter.
I could eat these all day. Cher, I have a husband like that and I am going to make one for him for dessert tonight for dinner. I think he is in for a surprise.

I agree...I could eat the mock danish all day, it's really a treat. My DH tried it the other night and he kept asking for more of it (I was thinking NO...this is mine...but, I gave him some anyway...lol). I have to be careful because I really shouldn't eat cheese (I've had problems with candida). So, we'll see what happens.

I hope you all had a nice 3 day weekend. I did not lose any weight, but my clothes feel a little looser. I do the actual weigh in and measuring tomorrow am.

My mouth is drooling over this mock danish. Can someone write out the recipe or send me an email? I would love to try it. My husband is also doing this and is a little tired of now sweets with a bread of some sort.

I have done a lot of exercising this weekend, but did not do so well on the water. Oh well.

Hello Cheer and Gilta,
That is wonderful that both your husband are supporting you. I have to say that I love my DH for being so supportive because it helps me with this journey. Cher, I also have to watch cheeses but wow! what we can look forward to as treat once in awhile.
I wish I could eat it every day.

Gilta, here is the recipe for the famous Mock Danish:Mock Danish

2 oz cream cheese (soften in microwave)
1 egg
1 tblspn splenda
1 tsp lemon concentrate
1/2 tsp vanilla

mix softened cream cheese and egg. Add remaining ingredients. microwave on high for 2 minutes.

I hope you will enjoy as much as I did.

Well ladies time to get started but have a great day.

Well I finally stepped on those darn scales Monday, and I'm down ........yippie! Not much, but I don't care, I'm down! Changed my stats to 194 from last Monday at 195.5. So, I lost 1.5 pounds this week by adding more calories, go figure. I am going to stay off the scales this week, TOM is due to visit and I hate the scales when that is happening, they always show a 3-10 pound gain.

Donna, thanks for the recipe. I will try it out tonight. How many carbs, protein, fat and calories are in this? I want to put it on my fitday custom list.

Sunshine, congrats on dropping. I know what you mean about TOM. I always gain then.

I hope tomorrow I have good news to report. I have kept my calories up and my carbs pretty much so less than 30. I have exercised as well. I hope at least the inches came off.... I am tired of wearing woman's sized clothes. I would like to be able to walk into any store and buy.

Oh well, probably will be able to after 15 more lbs.

Gilta

(((((((((((Sunshine)))))))))))) Way to go! Congratulations! Yeah...I was also thinking about that TOM...think I'll just avoid the scales then...lol. Keep up the good work!

Gilta...glad donnaj gave you the Mock Danish recipe. I use cinnamon instead of lemon (one of the variations that others listed). let me know how it tastes with lemon. Do you gals think that exercise slows down the weight loss? I think it does for me...but, all my clothes fit better...so, I think it's worth the trade off.

DonnaJ... yeah those incredibly supportive Dh's are so valuable. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be married to someone who was trying to sabotage my WOE or, someone who was uncomfortable with my weight. No matter what... DH always say's "you're beautiful" and that he doesn't care about the weight. I think that's because he's seem me literally starve myself with no results over the years... Thank God I get to eat now...LOL... oh...and...lose this weight!

Marlaine...how are you doing? you must be feeling really great...

Hey Cher!!

I'm doing GREAT!! I'm quite surprised that I haven't crashed since my schedule has been so hectic since the beginning of January. I'm up at 6:30AM and go pretty much non stop until 10PM, between school and work. I'm done the day course at the end of this week so am planning a bit of a time out from the rushing around.

BFL is going very well and it surprises me that I leap out of bed with ease because I'm so looking forward to doing my workout each morning! Yes, I'm feeling GREAT!!

Marlaine

Hi Marlaine, Glad you're doing so well! WoW you have a Hectic schedule...you must have your food worked out for the entire day (well in advance...LOL).
What are you studying in school?

I'm glad BFL is working so well...it must help to energize you for that schedule! That's awesome :-)

It's me, I am back, and at it again. Had a lot of thing's happen lately, but now back on track.
I am having a cup of coffee with cream and later I will have 2 egg's and bacon. Maybe Tuna for lunch and salad and a hamburger for supper and a salad. Boring food. Lol, but I am back on induction.
I want to try and cook some of the recipes, so I won't get bored with eating, but then maybe I should get bored with eating. Lol.
Everyone have a great day. Hope to be in the 170's by my Birthday in March. Hug's Shirl
