My reply got mixed in with the quote thing... here is is again. My reply is BOLDED

It was right below the bags of salad. I bought a bag and they're good. It's just the right serving and I can shove it in my bag for a snack.

Fresh fruits... I'm BAD with this one. I have this whole bug phobia thing. BUT I bought 3 aples. I figure if I can take them to work and have them as a snack I'll be good in the afternoons. Of course I'll have to take a knife to peel, core and cut up the apple. The bug phbia will NEVER let me just bit into a peice of fruit. Lol. I have to fully dismember it and inspect it first!

Just thought I'd share...

I like daily plate much better than fitday. Daily plate is easy to navigate and has a plathora of food items

Ooo-Ooo-Ooo! Spark People ROCKS! I just found out about it this week and I am hooked! There are some AMAZING threads on that site!

Here's a link to my page...check it out!

Dangit Stef!! I can't HANDLE being addicted at another website!!! Lol.

[TexasFire 84]

Oh, I know! Between three threads here, SparkPeople.com and Bodybuilding.com, it's a wonder I have time for anything else!

bigbaby I would have to agree with you. I used dailyplate when I started logging with the band, but stopped doing it. it is hard to keep up for me. I started today. the fitday does not have any foods in there and you have to program them all which is way to much work!!

suzzie I watch biggest loser too! I could not beleive the previous show, the twins! Guys suck, they will always win(no offense Dan)! Maybe they should have a show with only woman, but probably can't. Did you hear the clip for a contest for those at home, you write in and could win time with trainer? I would love to have Jillian for even a week!! I could not find it on the website! Maybe next week they will announce again.

I am down a pound since the doc on Tuesday. Lets hope this is a good sign.

TGIF!

I've heard this before, but it's worth repeating:

Great quote Stef - and as nurse I know it is SOOOO true!

OK.... broke down today and bought a big bag of Christmas M&Ms from the store at work. Lol. They ere 'Only $1, how could i pass them up?' Yeah. So... I got back upstairs (I make myself walk all eight flights whenI buy something bad!) and I didn't think they were so worth it then. I got outthe cute lil plastic pill cups and and pours a shot for everyone. Haha. Spread the calories - less for me to consume! So yeah, I only ate 2 tbsp of them, the rest is in my locker at work. I think I'll be sharing them again tomorrow!

Hell, at least I didn't eat the whole bag - like I HAVE done before!

Won't be checking in much. Have no internet in my new home yet (some tech prob). New job is OK so far.

I just wanted to echo that I also have been doing badly with the sweets lately. It seems that all I want is chocolate. Luckily, I haven't put on any weight (I certainly deserved to) but haven't lost any either. Since so many of us are going through the same thing, I figure it must be normal. My band is adjusted correctly I guess, so it's just me.

I'm sure our heads will get in the right place soon and our bodies will follow.

[Suzzzie. 3]

Glad to hear fro you Insub!! Hope you get internet soon!

Chocolate... went over to a friends last night for game night, played an awesomely fun and violent card game called "Lunch Money" had a BLAST... but the hostess put out a HUGE bowl of these 'Chocolate dusted Truffles' I have NO clue how many I ate! I didn't even realize what I was doing until the bowl was looking empty!! Ugh. I wasn't the only one eating them, but still... I joked that I was going to have to do a 2 day juice fast now!!

Well, Wombat and I are doing 2 days of Protein Shakes, Water, and fruit Mon and Tues... hopefully that will cleanse the chocolate out!! Ugh!

Oh ladies I am finally loosing weight! I guess it just took me 6 months to learn how to work with the band. If something gets stuck I will not eat it again so I have cut out a lot of things. I guess that is working.

I have lost 18 lbs since surgery. 8 in the past month and a half.

Way to go Mystic!!! :wink:

Suzziee - chocolate truffles ?!?!! yummmmmmmm - what a way to go :tongue:

Yep - Monday it is!

[MysticstarD 0]

Thank you Wombat!

[Suzzzie. 3]

OMG! So, I get on the scale this moring, as I do nearly every morning... and I about peed on myself! For the first time since I was about 18 years old it was UNDER 300! It said 299.3!!!!

Of course I had to ruin that lovely moment by stepping back on it a 2nd time... which said 301.6... Lol. Either way, I'm THRILLED!! It's just what I needed this morning!!

Way to go Suzzie! Go with the first weigh in :smile:

I'm having a hard time with the sweets too. I was never a sweets person, but lately all I want is chocolate and salty stuff. I'm managing to stay the same and not put the weight back on, but I'm disappointed in myself. This morning I even ate a half of a raspberry filled donut that my daughter didn't finish. I hate jelly filled donuts ! Then I felt guilty and jogged in place for 5 minutes. At 1pm I'm going to the pool to swim a mile and then taking my son to hockey so I can walk 2miles around the indoor track. QUILT IS A WONDERFUL THING!
