Jello flavored. Not any sort of jello consistancy what so ever.

[travelgirl 3]

Oh, good, I'll definitely try it, then.

[babygrl1234 6]

Oh I had like 6 caramel Hershey kisses today. Damn those things were good. Plus it was loaded potato Soup day at work. Seriously delicious and probably seriously calorie loaded. It is a Protein Bar dinner tonight!

I"ve been good so far today. I had an egg / 1 slice of toast for Breakfast and a small Wendi's chili for lunch. Then I walked for 15 minutes on my treadmill and did bowlfex for 15 minutes. I felt good afterwards , and should really do that more often. Now we're working on my dd's leaf collection for biology while the leafs are still nice instead of waiting for fall - too bad it's 94 freakin' degrees out today ! At least our house is nice & quiet since my 12y/o dd is at camp - WooHoo ! I'm going to try & have an angus burger and salad for supper. I'm tired of chicken right now and really don't like fish.

we're going to Wal-mart too so babygrl I'm gonna buy the stuff to try your recipe - sounds good.:hungry: May have that for dessert tonight if there's room in my belly - or for an evening snack. think i'll add some protien powder to it since i'm really needing more protien right now. thanks for the idea. you're potato Soup sounds good too !

Ok, 45 minutes down, 15 to go....

way to go travel girl ! I haven't worked up to 60 minutes yet except when my dd's and I go for a 2 mile walk w/ our 6 dogs ! Keep it up !

[travelgirl 3]

Andrea, this is weird. You said it was 94 degrees wherever you are.... It was 99 degrees here 30 minutes ago, and right now, it's 76.... methinks we might be having some inclement weather soon....

ok babygrl , quick question. so , i'm making your recipe and as i'm mixing i thought was i supposed to use the jell-o in powder form or already jelled ? i wanted to keep it simple so i bought Jello cups and put 4 of them in the mix but they weren't chopping up too well so that's when i started thinking about the powder. it still turned out and the jell-o dissolved some so it's fine and tastes good. just wonderin'.

So far today I've had 2 mozzarella sticks and 2 teddy grahams... What I have not had is all of my morning Protein shake, any substantial food for lunch, (or dinner, come to think of it), nor have I had enough water! What is my problem today?!? I have no appetite at allllllll!! And I have just forgotten to eat my meals. This feels quite a bit like the old days -- when I wouldn't eat all day & then feel like I couldn't eat fast enough until getting FULL sometime around 9PM! I thought we'd broken this lil' pattern...but apparently it's still lurking under the surface somewhere! Interesting, very, very interesting!

Let's see how dinner goes once the kids are in bed (DH giving baths right now :tired)... Company coming tomorrow, and so continues my summer of eating out. Lovely.

Aunt Flo is here Aunt Flo is here!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited to know that the reason I pigged out today is because she's a visiting.

I wouldn't want to actually have to like blame myself for it?

[babygrl1234 6]

Armkam you silly thing it is just the powder! I guess I should have been more specific!

[skinnyjeans 2]

I'm excited that I didn't gain any while out of town. I had 2 bites of desert items and tried to stick with Protein first rule.

today I had

Protein shake 25 g

2 sticks big beef Jerky

Junior bacon cheeseburger (ate half bun and 3/4 of burger)

started off eating too fast and felt a little stuck

3 onion rings

1 hershey minature

1 glass red wine (rough day at work)

chicken lasagna (not enough chicken in it so only maybe had 4 small chunks)

Might need another Protein Shake to get more in tonight

[Zannie 6]

Good for you, skinnyjeans! That's quite an accomplishment!

As for me...um, I didn't eat ANY bad foods yesterday, and I did get plenty of Protein in, but I woke up this morning with 5 additional pounds on the scale for my efforts! FIVE POUNDS overnight!!! Egad. I'm expecting AF this weekend, so maybe I'll get to chalk it up to my period like TravelGirl, but I'm frickin' pissed right now!

So far today I've had a glass of that new Juicy-juice with veggies mixed in -- not very good in my opinion, but DS (4yo) likes it a lot. He's the one we''re trying to trick anyhow!!! :biggrin1::biggrin1:

Well , eating did not start out well today ! :cry I tried to eat an egg w/ 1 slice of toast and it all came back up and really hurt in my belly. You would think after 4 months I would learn to slow down and chew, chew, chew ! CRAP ! I waited about and hour and 1/2 then ate a 1/2 c. serving of babygirl's Jello recipe and so far so good ! It turned out fine even tho' I used jelled Jello instead of powder. My DH tasted it and liked it tho' he usually won't eat anything sugar-free .

Hang in there Zannie , I saw your new pics on the challenge site and you're doing SUPER and look great ! - you too babygirl , man you look young , lol - both of you ! i need to get some pics on here sometime. Since I don't work in the summer - I'm a music teacher - I keep thinkin' that i've got to keep on track because my co-workers will be looking at me when school starts at the end of Aug. to see how I did over the summer - a little bit of pressure here ! So far I've lost 18 lbs since school's been out. Another friend had gastric by-pass 5 years ago and has since gained everything back . She's having a swim party friday w/ some of the girls I work w/ and said she can't wait to see me. I'm not sure if I should go. I know she wishes she had the band - she told me so , but insurance didn't pay for it then - and I don't want to make her feel bad or anything. I'm just confused right now ! Plus I 'm not sure I want to wear a swimsuit in public yet tho' my 3 dd's said it looks fine !

Ok , I'm rattling on !:rolleyesThanks for listening. I'm going to get on my treadmill and bow-flex again today even tho' the scale went up 0.4 today. I felt better after doing it yesterday. have a good day , girls !
