How Long Can You Go???

Re: How Long Can You Go???

The only thing I sense I need is something creamy...cool and creamy when my stomach has a little heartburn. I drink water, but there is this tiny longing for something creamy. I might get some cream and add splenda and have it there....but I have not done that yet.
All is well on the southern front!

When I get home in the evenings I put a little cream in a cup, a tsp of Splenda and a little cocoa and stir it really good and then I have a nice little something to keep me until supper is ready.

If you're craving cream, why not give it a whirl? You only have to count it towards your cream and sweet allowance for the day.

{looking around} All is well over in the Tennessee area too!

They kept right on talking like an attemt to start a debate until my husband chimed in and said that so far I have lost 20 pounds and I am doing great...FINALLY that shut them up!!!!

Woohoo! Good on hubby to stand up for you!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

If it wouldn't have been for the fact that I was at work, I would've been crying. He very seldom says stuff like that, he's normally an action type of guy. I knew he was proud just by the way he's been acting, but to actually have him say that just meant the world. He sure can be a sweetie when he's not holding me down and letting the dog attack me.


And I think we're all being silly today cause it's so close to Friday!!!

(giggle) ...letting the dog attack you? Yawl are cute!!

FRIDAY! Did you say FRIDAY?!

Yippee!!!! I need to go bump my pizza thread...be back...

Re: How Long Can You Go???

There is this line I have heard it from those who have been around along time and have reached goals...
"stay on induction if you want to loose weight faster"...go up the rungs if you are fine with things slowing down. Since I have no weighed, I am wondering which way to go, I feel so good, rarely have a craving at all. The only thing I sense I need is something creamy...cool and creamy when my stomach has a little heartburn. I drink water, but there is this tiny longing for something creamy. I might get some cream and add splenda and have it there....but I have not done that yet.

Hey Jess!

I was a little hesitant to move up the rungs too. I had planned on staying on induction for another 25 or 30 pounds. But watching the success that Christine and Kat had moving up was a big motivator for me. I'm on Rung 1 and honestly, I very seldom make it to 25 grams of carbs, I usually barely make it to 20. But moving up the rungs is really quite fun. Check out the link in Kat's siggie (I think it's still there) and do some reading up. That'll help you decide.

Yep, the hubby thinks it's funny that Rascal will attack who ever is being held down instead of the one doing the holding down. So he'll hold me down and Rascal will lick my face and paw at my hair. But it's fun to turn the tables on DH.


I think I'm going to follow you to the pizza thread cause I gotta question...

That's so cute!! You ought to video tape it so years later you can look at it and laugh...a nice memory (depending on which side of the licking and pawing you're on!)

Re: How Long Can You Go???

OMG! I can't believe this is up to 139 pages!!! Well, I have to join! That is my main issue right now, trying to get and stay cheat free. I am so far, day one cheat free. I can't tell you how hard it was. But after a trip to the fabric store and looking for patterns and realizing how little "fat" patterns there were and how horrible the ones they did have looked, cheating went totally out of my head for the day!

so that is it for me, one day down!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

We moved my nephew into his college dorm today and family members were given tickets for a free meal at our choice of several great places on campus. Now in my old ways of eating, I would have got something incredibly carb-y and terrible for me because I "shouldn't waste a free meal".... LOL !

I had a salad with ham, tomatoes, cucumber, boiled eggs, a little 2 oz bag of cheddar cheese cubes and bottled water. I wasn't even tempted by all the pizza, subs and gooey chocolate chip cookies everybody else was having.

It was a GOOD day!





Hope everyone is cheat-free and ready for the weekend!

I am still cheat free even with my crazy life.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Now sweetie...do I detect a lack of confidence here? I hope its just my imagination, because I think you've done a pretty fantastic job of getting up and trying again! It sometimes takes several tries at flying to start soaring, and even still we can thud once in a while. But I think you got the hang of it, and so I want you to say "I can do it! " Instead of "hopefully I won't screw up..." There is SO much to be said for positive thinking. Keep the vibes positive, and the rest will fall into place! YOU CAN DO IT!

I go along doing great and then I screw up and get so down on myself about it that it ends up being a 3 or 4 day binge. But those are happening less frequently and you're right... I CAN DO IT!! I'm a very emotional eater and I have to figure out how to get a handle on that better. I'm getting there though!
