Ok.. Well, I guess I am not too far off. I got some good ideas on foods though. I'm not a big vegetable person, so I will have to increase my leafy green vegetables. I need to snack on more cheese and leave the 1 cup of mayo at home. (LOL)

I'm with you, Cream Cheese Pancakes? Sounds delicious and I am getting a little tired of eggs.

Hi Girls! Busy Busy Busy Busy Day!! The cream cheese pancakes were awesome. Here's the super easy recipe:

1 8 oz package cream cheese (let soften a little)
4 eggs separated
1 packet Splenda
1 t cinnamon

Separate eggs. Mix yolks, cream cheese, splenda and cinnamon set aside. In a metal bowl mix egg whites with a mixer until stiff. Gently combine the cream cheese mixture and the eggs whites. In a non stick pan, melt 1-2 T butter. MAKE PANCAKES! They brown up nicely. I used a little sugar free syrup. HEAVENLY!

I gotta run! My busy Mom life is kicking into high gear. But the weekend is coming!! More later!

Well, the weekend is drawing near. Not much to report on today. We have a family bonfire to go to this weekend. That will be rough. Everyone brings in delicious goodies. I figure if I watch my carbs early, I should be able to at least have a bowl of chili and a plain hotdog. I think I will take some deviled eggs for at least one treat I can enjoy.

Yah the weekend, not so sure if thats really a good thing..lol. Oh Kim a bowl of chili hehehe. I won't scold you I had a lil slip yesterday. Even tho my carb count was 37 I could only subtract somewhere of 10. Its the ice cream I had..hehehehe, but it was sooooo good
Kim anyway u can tug along some veggies? I am now very weak here. Always love veggies but they are starting to nag at me.
You gals have a good weekend..
Over and Out

Good morning all! Well it's a lazy saturday morning... just taking care of the kids and housework... fun fun fun huh? Nothing new really... yesterday wasn't a good lc day... started great, but then my thyroid meds started messing with me... had littel panic attack... going for more blood work MOnday. I think my hypo thyroid might have flipped back to hyper, thus explaining the fast weight loss I have been having. I think my doc is going to want to permanently kill my thyroid. That's ok though. I am tired of the yo yo thing. I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.. sound horrible, but it's just auto immune thyroid disease that doesn't know WHAT it wants to do!

later... Susan

HI all. I'm down 2 pounds. But I'm not feeling real well today... my thyroid is whigging out on my.... going hyper I think....Going for blood work today. I've been very anxious and emotional.

Susan

Susan: Good luck with the bloodwork, you'll have to let us know what they decide.

The weekend wasn't as bad as I thought it was. I skipped the chili, but had 2 roasted hotdogs w/o the bun instead. The only bad thing I had was a couple of rolled up tortilla's with turkey, cheese, and cream cheese. It was sooo good. I figure 1 tortilla had 28 carbs, and they were cut into small pinwheels, so I won't be too hard on myself, it wasn't as bad as all the sweets they had.

Xerces: We really do need to work on our vegetables. I usually just eat lettuce (I'm gonna turn into a rabbit pretty soon.)

Hi all, sorry I was gone all weekend and wasn't able to post but this weekend was good . So far since I started my diet I have lost 7 lbs as of today I am so shocked and happy . Just needed to share this. Hope everyone is doing good....

Candels: Congratulations on the weight loss. It's always nice to see results from all that hard work.

Checked fitdays...

Candles: yours is blank..lol

Kim: Are you entering only partial for your total day foods? Your percentages of fat, etc is good. I won't comment on veggies cos we know right..lol! I do see a lot of cheese in there. Since your losing, it doesnt seem to have an effect right now on you? Lucky gal

So here are reminders. I feel kinda silly giving this out, since you are doing good. I am the one at a slow crawl..lol

1) Water - 64 oz basic. Add on 8 oz per 25 pounds you want to lose.
2) For the ones are soon hitting your 3rd week or already there. Don't be discouraged when the weight doesn't come off. I don't measure, but maybe you would want to? If you feel like your not losing, try on smaller sizes. Maybe you have.
3) Veggies - Need I say more..lol. *makes a note to herself*
4) Taking supplements? If not, look into it.
5) Be sure to spread your carb intakes/food through the day. Good way to control you blood sugar and to keep your body stable.
6) Do remember your body is always changing. What worked for you weeks ago, may not work this time.
7) Good way of adding fat, use olive oil. *makes another note to herself*
8) Go back and read about your plan
9) Don't let your carb intake go below 10 grams. Best to keep it 15-20. Going below 10 won't make you lose any faster.

Of course this isn't all, but some do get forgotten.

Good Afternoon Xerces, Fiona, mdklimesh and Kim hope all is well with all of you. Haven't been able to visit much lately.

Xerces, havent really sat down and figured out how to use fitday yet. But I will for sure. Sorry for a blank page.

Hope to hear from everyone on their success. ( I know there out there) lol

Love Candles
