    I'm down 2 pounds....maybe there is some truth to no drinking soda...even if it is the sodastream kind. :)

    the tum tum is not flat but is looking better. Energy is coming back again. High protein for me again.
    It's been so damn hot here that it's almost impossible to get outside to walk or run or do anything for that matter. So it's flights of stairs in my house and using my son as a human weight. :lol: Seems to be working.

    The hardest part I find is going to others houses for dinner or such. They don't get that I"m gluten free. But I'm the picky one.

    Kudos to everyone for sticking to it.

    Oh my word. I'd be in heaven. Did they have their oreo cream ice cream?

    This is horrid. We had a barbecue last weekend...and I made three kinds of brownies. Then we're having two birthdays this weekend...and taking my sister out for her birthday thursday...

    I don't know how to keep to any sort of diet. I need to start working out but....I just don't know when!!!

    We get up at 5 already for work!

    Oh you're a stronger person than I. I'm not even joking. I would have been right there! I can say no to chips, and most ice cream, i just don't care about it but, coldstones? Oh man it's so good!

    It was only because they served it immediately after dinner and I was full. If it had been 90 minutes earlier all bets would have been off :? :lol:

    Isn't it amazing what a full stomach can accomplish and fend off? This week, I'm eating only when I'm hungry. I mean really when my stomach tells me I'm hungry. I tend to eat for any reason. Boredom...whatever. So I'm still down 3lbs. Just 18 more to go!

    I'm still the same weight...but I also have been eating crappy food....been camping the last week.

    I might have my sister in law give me a one day boot camp when she's out here next week...write out a schedule for me or something.

    those hostess chocolate cupcakes are pure evil... :lol:
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    It's so true. I always have a bag of baby carrots on hand. When I get a craving I eat them and once I'm feeling satisfied the craving usually passes. We get so used to eating at a certain time or because there's nothing better to do - great to tune into the hunger meter! Keep going! The shedded pounds add up quickly

    I have sunflower seeds(low sodium) for that reason. There's just only so many carrots or veggies I can stand. I did South Beach last year and lost a ton of weight so I try to have more protein snacks on hand. It really helps. Especially pb and celery. Amazingly, after getting used to the natural kind, I love it now!

    Me too! One of the only reasons I haven't gone back to a strict SB diet. For the first two weeks you have to give up fruit. I just can't. It's summer and it's everywhere and on sale! I try not to eat the bad carbs but...birthdays make it oh so hard!

    I'm down 3!!! Wooohoooo!!! Went to the dr yesterday and had to weigh in. :( Instead of a frown...that went upside down to a happy face!! And a little dance too. :Lol: Starting to go off my good food eating habits...need to really get back on them. STarting with the soda kick again. :( But for some reason I need that carbonation.

    Hummus and bean chips today. Maybe a little almond butter as well.
    Gotta....get...back...to....healthy...food.

    Probably still not eating right, like to think I'm not starving myself. I have a breakfast smoothie and mostly fruit throughout the day and something with some substance for supper, chicken and a salad, rice, that sort of thing

    sounds pretty good to me. I would probably feel hungry, too. If I don't eat much during the day, I am really hungry by dinnertime. But, you are getting results. :)

    Sounds good to me. smoothie in the morning is great. Gets your body going. And dinner sounds good. protein and roughage. :)
