Honey how exciting that youa re just a few weeks away from surgery!!

Heather, you said you excercise a lot but dont eat many calories and are stalled. I NEVER lose weight if I excercise and don't eat much. Its one reason I haven't done anything but walk a little. I KNOW my weight loss will stop for weeks unless I get in more calories. I'm going to start walking and lifting but I know I need to seriously start to work out and to do that I need to be strict on gettin in those 60+ grams of Protein. I'm goint to try to do a shake right after working out and sometime at work. Its a project.

I'm feeling great everyone! Hope you are all doing well. Its a camping weekend. So I'll be cooking more than normal but its so nice that I can have a few bites of whatever I make and call it a day!

Of course I do the "Protein first" thing, but I have never counted or tracked or measured my food. I have no idea what my carb or calorie or fat intake is. Not real sure about Protein, either but I do drink a 30-40g protein smoothie everyday on top of my regular food, so I'm sure my level is good. I eat healthy, balanced meals of protein, veggies, fruit and whole grains.

BUT I also eat like a "normal" person. Here's some of those bad carbs we aren't supposed to eat that I've had in the last 2 weeks alone.... Pita chips...with a nice fatty artichoke dip, chocolate covered English toffee (OMG YUMMMM), vodka cocktail, a brownie, a slice of pumpkin/cheesecake roll, hot chocolate (and not the crappy sugar-free/fat-free kind), bread (used to make a roast beef/ avocado sandwich) and pancakes with real maple Syrup. Oh yeah, and although I am active, I don't exercise at all. Since I'm below goal and still losing, I'd say the "non-plan" I've chosen is working.

Good luck to all of you!

dinner last night was an AWESOME spinach/artichoke dip with these little toasted bread rounds, at my favorite little local Italian place. i ate until i was comfortable...

like EVERY time i eat what i think is 'too much for the day', the scale was down again today!
