    Re: Hey Buddies!!!

    She might turn around and want to eat this way seriously when she sees how well you are doing cara

    not much to report here except i have found the best chocolate/sweet dessert so far, i mixed some cocoa powder with cream cheese and abit of splenda to sweeten and omg im in love. if you eat it like this it tastes abit like chocolate mousse, what i did was i lined a food container with some greaseproof paper (thinking cling film/plastic wrap would work better) and then spread the mixture out and froze it. After an hour i cut the mixture up into squares tasted soooooo delicious. (well this is the first dessert/chocolate ive tried to make. Im so excited about eating some more lol.

      Re: Hey Buddies!!!

      Focus - It's funny that you discovered that treat.. cause if you had read my posting on page 4 of this thread on June 1st 2009, I wrote about the same treat. With the exception I had added a little vanilla extract and I described it to taste like a mouse to after it's been in the freezer lol. It is very tasty for sure and I think it's good to help get us through those cravings of wanting chocolate, or if everyone else is having ice cream we can have it instead. I'm happy to know that you also thought it was very tasty.

      Cara - I'm sorry about your Mom, but like Focus said, maybe she will see your success and it will motivate her? It will have to be on her terms unfortunately, as we can't make people do the things we think they should. It has to come from the heart, on their own terms. You and your dh just stay on track and do the best you can, and great things will happen!

      How is everyone else doing?

        Focus & Sassy, I've had that same treat last night! It was good. Sometimes I replace the Splenda with a little Davinci raspberry syrup.

              Norah - the psyllium you get, is that in a capsule or powder-form? I was at CVS and didn't know what to get. I'm also going to look into getting flaxseed from Trader Joe's this weekend.
              It's a powdered form; mixes up in water ... doesn't taste bad at all, and it does the job I think you have to take quite a few capsules to get the same effect, so I stick with the powder. If you try the flaxseed, let us know how it, um, goes, okay?

                Good Morning My Buddies

                Cara - I have never been able to find any of the Davinci syrup's here. I do look for it when I'm shopping, but so far no such luck. I've read on many posts, that it's suppose to be pretty good.

                Focus - You're too funny Not to worry, as much as we all at one time or another probably feel that "we" have concocted our own new dish or treat, there are probably lots of others who have made the same dish or very similar and thought the same. It's only natural that when you're given a list of particular foods, that one will try mixing this with that and come up with an "OMG.. that's fantastic!" lol.. it just shows that great minds think alike my friend.

                I'm not really sure how I am doing? The past couple of days have felt kind of like downers, in the sense that I feel "FAT" again! I know I'm not huge anymore, but still I fight the fight of not feeling that way. Lastnight my family and I went out in the evening to get out of our hot house, and enjoy a beverage in the cooler air outside. I couldn't help but feel like I was that 50lb plus heavier woman! I was very uncomfortable, constantly tugging at the bottom of my shirt to make sure it was covering my fat. My youngest son who's 14, kept telling me to stop it and that I look great etc. I don't know why this is happening, but I really wish it would stop as I truly do love the days that I feel skinnier way better! I'm sure I'm not alone in this feeling, but it's just frustrating as I haven't been doing anything wrong to all of a sudden feel this way again, in fact I have even joined the water challenge and drink at least 64oz's of water a day. Maybe it's my bodies way of telling me that I need to work harder to feel that skinny feeling again? I have 5 days left until I get to see my Mom after not having seen her in a year, and I want to feel on cloud nine that day! Well.. enough of my ramblings lol.. hopefully it will go away soon.

                I hope everyone's week is going well so far.

                Sassy

                  awww sassy everyone gets those days, me especially yesterday was on the tube (subway) and saw my reflection in the mirror i felt like a huge blog. was not happy one bit but the funny thing is i should feel good about myself now because im doing well with the diet and im working on losing the weight but sometimes little things just set you off if you know what i mean. Look how much you have lost!! dont take it the wrong way but i would love to be that weight havent been under 195 for a long time!! You went from over 200 to 175 that is a amazing achievement, dont forget it!!

                  Im off work tomorrow and im now currently counting the minutes until i finish. i cant wait!! just going to visit my parents have a bbq maybe if the weathers nice.

                    Re: Hey Buddies!!!

                    Focus - Thank you for the kind words of encouragement! I also have the day off of work tomorrow. I wish I could go visit my Mom. I miss the days of when she use to be only like 15 minutes away from me. Now we live roughly 8-9hrs away from each other. I live in B.C. and she lives in Alberta. So I don't get to see her very often at all. That's part of why I am so happy that I'll be seeing her in 5 days! It will only be long enough to have lunch, but at least I'll get to see her and she will get to see the thinner me in person vs the pictures she sees on the computer. I hope you enjoy the time you get, and I hope the BBQ is a blast and that the weather is beautiful!

                      Aw, Sassy ... hug! But, as Focus says, you're lost 50 lbs. 50 ... that's a lot of pounds! We all have "fat days," though ... I look down at my belly and it's all pooched out ... too many carbs :P It's a constant struggle; but what can you do? Just keep plugging along! And smile ... look how far we've come

                            Good morning Buddies

                            Norah - Thank you for the support You're such a sweet lady

                            Focus - Congrats on the 15 lost inches I forgot yesterday was my one month mark of being back on Atkins, so I'll take my measurements later today I guess. I hear yah in regards to weight not coming of fast enough, as I'm getting frustrated at the needle not wanting to fall downward anymore either. I only have another 4-5 days left till I see my Mom, and I want the scale to go down more by Monday. I'm not sure what I can do to get it moving again? Maybe I have to kill myself with excercise or something? When your back home.. stay strong.. have a plan.. have snacks that are prepared in advance for you that are Atkins friendly etc.. you can do it.

                            Hoping everyone is doing well.

                              Yay! From the bronx. I was born in NYC. I grew up near the Bronx. Inwood, to be precise. The corner of Nagle ave. and Dychman street. I went to Saint Jude's elementary school. I moved to West New York, N.J. and went to high school there. I lived there for 4 years. Then I moved to Miami. My parents followed me 1 year later, or so.
