Does anyone have any tips to help prevent overeating during the evening time? I can be good all day and then when I get home from work I'll overeat. It's not even junk food!
I plan my food for the day before I eat anything and my plan always includes a healthy evening snack.
I sometimes have to brush my teeth early to get over a yearning for something to eat beyond my planned snack.
Esther, yes we have a WalMart but they don't have much of what I'm looking for (yes, I'm fussy) Marie, we cook boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are low in calories, fat, and sodium I just came home from a great line dance class...hubby is on the phone and our big meal is ready and waiting.....boneless chicken breast, sprouted rice and quinoa, steamed cauliflower, a bit of homemade gravy.

Hello Fellow Losers,
I can't say that right now because I didn't weigh today but hoping for something on Friday. I have to fast tonight for blood work for 12 hours so maybe I will be lucky and drop a pound. Fingers crossed.
My lunch yesterday was great and I had a buffalo chicken wrap and a cup of soup. We did indulge in dessert because of it
being a birthday lunch.
I had choir practice last night and when I got home it was late, I was so hungry and had a snack.
Our Spring concert is Sunday my first one. A little nervous.
Marie - You are doing so well and congrats on the doctor apt. I have to agree with Connie, luncheon meats are full of
sodium. If I do buy them I get roasted turkey or Black Forest ham. Still processed, still has salt but a little better.
Connie - Nice job on the weight loss, you have been working hard at the gym. I missed my Yoga class today, too tired
but Hubby and me went for a 45 min walk instead. I am trying to get him moving more.
Sparkle - I agree with the tooth brushing. Try it, can't hurt.
Esther - I am in a small too, and we have Walmart and I am really sick of shopping there because
there isn't anything else unless I travel farther and sometimes I have to.
I can't remember who just bought the new clothes but HOORAY! you must look amazing. Congrats on the weight loss.
Now since we are talking techy things, how do you make the names turn blue on your posts?

Marie, I put a boneless skinless chicken breast in a glass casserole with a lid and some Mrs. DASH (no sodium) seasoning and cook it in the oven for about 30 minutes and serve it with a frozen vegetable steamed in a pot or cooked in the microwave.....almost no sodium and very tasty and easy.
Shirley, I agree that WalMart doesn't' usually have what I'm looking for. Barbie

Good morning misfit losers! Happy Thursday!
Good morning, Marie!
I slept a little later this morning...no gym to do today. I usually just hop out early, but this morning I was thinking...why should I? Getting ready to do a little yoga to stretch because my lower body workout yesterday was intense.
Marie...glad you are dropping..I'm still hovering over the same numbers.
Hey...only one dish? That's a good thing..you can do it!
Have a good day and stay strong!
Connie0 -
Marie, you cracked me up (again) with your dirty dish comment! How about wrapping that chicken and some veggies in foil, and popping it in the oven for 30 minutes?
Sorry I've been AWOL - my days are too short these days, and I can't seem to get a handle on it. Our son was home from AZ last week, and we had a great time - he is planning to come back again the middle of May for a short trip, so something to look forward to there.
I don't remember is I mentioned that we are thinking about remodeling our kitchen. We go today to see the design (and find out the cost
) - I'm expecting sticker shock. I am not looking forward to the time without a kitchen, and the packing up of everything in it, but I know it will be gorgeous when we're through. I have started going through cabinets and drawers, sorting out what can be given away or saved for one of the boys, and yikes!
Glad to be back, and will try to be better about posting. Love this group and hope you all are having a great week!
Belinda0 -
good morning everybody!!
marie, can't wait to see your post on Monday!!
connie, hang tight, I'm sure something is going to happen soon. maybe try to switch up your foods a little and stay within your macros. I lose like you usually, in chunks and then nothing. I think it helps you mentally to eat different things and it is good for your body also to give it something it's not expecting. maybe for a snack try tuna, avocado and cucumbers instead of the yogurt? or even for dinner? we can do this!!
Belinda, good to see you! so exciting about your kitchen, I would love that!!
ester, need to make sure I'm not eating when I read your posts, I might choke from laughing so hard!! you are very funny.
so I had steak and green beans last night, delicious. I am so glad I added red meat back into my diet as it is a good protein source and ok to eat once a week. I am hoping for a little bit of a loss from last Friday but we will see. I did the cheat sunday night. I feel like a weird science experiment, haha!!
hope everyone has a great day!! sunny but cold here:(

Faye, how long have you lived in Asia? I understand your difficulties with buying clothing. I have lived in Europe 4 times in the past 20 years and I noticed this last time the Europeans are getting larger and clothing is available in larger sizes. This was not true even 10 years ago.
@JLoRuthie - I have been in Singapore for 3 years! Time has flown by!
we always have nice weather so it makes it so much easier for outdoor exercise especially cycling which is my new sport and one that I love!
I have been dancing with the same 2 pounds for the past 2 weeks I hope to see a loss this weekend
My boyfriend is off on a work trip next week so may try doing 5 days of the smoothie thing for a bit of a shake up
Can't wait to hear about everybody's losses this week
Keep up the good work folks
Faye0 -
Good morning everybody!
Now that I have all the techie stuff figured out I can move on and work towards a loss.
It is another beautiful day in Georgia so I might push mow the lawn again. With all the rain and now sun it needs to be cut again exactly one week later.
@eatless83 that is awesome! Are you there indefinently? Sounds like my kind of weather.
@lovesretirement you are so good about exercising. How do you stay motivated every single day?
@CALIECAT Marie hope your eyes aren't giving you too many problems.
You girls are all so dedicated and motivated. It is contagious. Thank you!

Belinda so good to here from you. Glad you had a nice visit with your son. About my cooking. I hate cooking.and wih the pain on my backs and hips almost unbeable. I have been cooking I am almost 85 years old when years and just plain wore out. I Am going to cope with this. Ok my vent for today sorry . Have a great day MArie 0

Just wanted to drop in and say GOOD MORNING!!
I'm in a class for me job all week so my lunch routine is away from what has become my routine green smoothie but I can say that I have been working out more. Hopefully the scale starts moving again soon!!0 -
I would say good morning but its almost noon. I went to the lab this morning for blood work and 12 hours of fasting.
I had to wait for my turn, next time making an apt. I had to give a urine sample and I had an EKG done. After that I was starving. The lady there asked my weight and one of the days I don't weigh in, so I gave here an estimate. LOL
Would you believe we had snow this morning. You heard right, snow! It's melted now but it is trying to get our boat in
the water is difficult since we still need work on the outside to be done. Dave says what's the hurry its too cold to sail
anyway. We are supposed to get nice weather this weekend so he will go down to the club on Saturday when I am
at choir practice.
Esther - Love the choking idea of the names. I still can't figure it out. Techy I am not. I will stick to your names.

Marie..I hear you on the cooking front. I am 62 and HATE cooking. I only do one big meal and that's lunch. The only thing I actually cook is the chicken/meat. The rest is microwaved veggies, microwaved sweet potatoes, and I make a salad. Some days I go to Publix for the rotisserie chicken!
Ruthie...excercise makes me feel good and maybe I can drop the pounds regularly. It's hard sometimes, but since I retired, I have time to do it.
Cristina..give it time..it will move!
Faye, Stephanie, and Shirley...stay strong, girls!

Hi everybody. Today is S.H. I. T. Day (that means sure happy it's Thursday). I feel like I've been run over by a semi. The weather changes here are really doing me in this week. They have been really hard fast changes. I really just feel like crawling back into bed but I will do a short swim instead. Then off to the bone crackers.

Bone crackers? Esther?0

Good Afternoon Easter Misfits,
Late getting to read your posts. Been out with hubby shopping for him a new suit.
It's seems so easy to find good looking clothes for men. I can shop for hours
and never find anything I like.
I am like Connie, still hovering around the same number on the scale. It gets so
frustrating to see the same number day after day. But I will not give up, I am retired
and I have time to do this.
Glad some of you do no like to cook anymore. I thought I was the only one who
hates to cook. I usually cook my evening meal but it is simple. I am so fortunate
to have a husband who makes his evening meal which is a big salad with a
Mesquite Grilled Chicken Breast, regular ranch dressing and salad crackers.
All I have to do is go to grocery store and keep him stocked with what he needs to make the salad.
(By the way the Mesquite Grilled, fully cooked chicken breast from Sam's is really delicious.)
All you have to do is warm it in the microwave.
Great to see all of you today. Have a good evening.
Nancy

You guys doing okay, today?? It's been awlfully quiet in here!

Helloooo everyone.
Ester you make me laugh.
Cristina good to see you back. I thinking being in this group will motivate the pounds off.
Belinda glad to see you back also. I'm glad to hear you had a great visit with your son. You'll have to send pic of your kitchen when it's done.
Stephanie what is The Cheat?0 -
@Sunnyfarm a cheat was a mcdonalds ice cream cone dipped in sprinkles and choc chips and a king size m&m, about an extra 1000 calories for the day.0

Bone crackers? Esther?
It is easier to type than chiropractor. My back is messed up. Go figure. But it is actually an old injury that keeps me going there once a month. I was 24 and working in a daycare. I had a kindergartener jump on my back and mess it up. I now have a disc that will slip randomly so by going once a month it keeps it where it belongs. But my knees are really taking its toll on the back being as how one leg is so much shorter right now.
And after I made that post my day turned to .......... My guts have been in an uproar all day and I have had no appetite. I have eaten because I have to. Not because I want to. I have spent my day on the couch under a blanket watching tv. I have only walked 1900 steps today and for me that is like staying in bed all day. I had 500 steps this morning in an hour around my house before I went to the pool. I'm hoping tomorrow will be better. I have physical therapy tomorrow morning.
