    Thanks Nancy.I always said I did not need all this fat for I have plenty of my own fat don't need any extra. I believe what Barbie said We have to adjust our diets to suit our own bodies II think I will look up the AO diet that a girl sent me. I think it is 1 T. of salad dressing at night. ithink 1 t per meal is enouht.But I still like the 1-1-1- plan for it gives me a guideline.

    I look up the AO diet and it ialmost identical to the 1-1-1 and it does called for 1 T fat. at each meal or salad dressing.

    I feel the same way some days, Marie. (yesterday was hard)
    But your words many pages back say that we have to "finish the fight" and " never give up" so that's what we have to do, friend. <3

    I feel the same sometimes. u get down on myself when I haven't done as well as I could have our aren't getting the results I wanted. I just have to keep reminding nestle that the worse thing I can do us give up. Got to keep chugging and eventually (hopefully sooner rather than later) the results will come.

    I think we all get disgusted at some point on our weight loss journey but the difference on this journey
    is my new found friends that I truly love hanging out with. They don't criticize when our weight loss is slow
    or fast and are there to cheer you on when you feel down.

    Connie and Marie you have been my inspiration since day one for me. I so enjoy what you post everyday.
    You have stayed the course even when the going is rough and still daily give us support and encouragement.
    I just say to both of you that this too will pass and you will will get over this rough spot soon
    and the scales will be more favorable. Love both of you.

    I in no way want to minimize what all of you mean to me on this thread but Connie and Marie embraced me
    the first time I posted on this thread and I was at a place I felt rather hopeless as far as losing weight.

    Marie, I definitely understand. I was really down on myself last week, and it wasn't the first time. It just goes to show how this is a mental battle as well. We are all our toughest critics. Luckily these days pass.

    Awww, Nancy...that is so sweet :).
    You are so right..hanging out here is so encouraging because here are people who "get you" and what you are trying to do. There is no way I could explain this camaraderie to "regular" people who are not a part of this community. <3

    I know tomorrow is my weigh in and I am hoping for a loss, but I will continue on the next challenge and I had a week's vacation weight to deal with but will take it off sooner or later.
    We can do this with each other's support! Fantastic group!

    Just one thing when we do have movie popcorn at the movies, my husband and I share it and definitely have no butter. The salt is enough to deal with later on. :p

    Marie - Sorry you are down in the dumps. When we have health related issues taking weight off can be difficult. You are sticking to your plan so you will eventually see results.
    Another challenge is coming up to do better. I am looking forward to it, keeps me accountable.

    Nancy - I agree this is a great group for support and no judgment. We are all in this together!!

    Shirley..my hubs and I share it, too, with no butter. I just drink more water than usual the entire day to flush it out! In fact, all this talk of movie popcorn makes me want to go to the movie! :) I normally pop corn in a brown paper bag in the microwave...no salt to worry about!

    Connie - try microwaving in a plain paper bag, just add oil. No preservatives.

    Marie, I'm sure that movie popcorn has too much sodium for Jake, but I'm impressed that he got the small instead of the larger ones that he used to get. I don't know much about fat except that I stay away from salad dressing and only occasionally cook something in olive oil.

    :D Anyone who is still posting is a winner because it says that you're still aiming for your goal of weight loss.

    :D My choice of food is governed by health so I choose foods with high nutrition and stay away from foods that don't contribute to better health.

    Hi everybody. Today has definitely been a *kitten* day. That means sure happy it's Thursday. I crashed today. I swam laps for an hour and then walked against the current in the current pool for an hour this morning. I'm not sure if it was the sinus infection or the less than 1200 calories I've been eating every day or a combination of both but I felt so tired that I laid down for a nap at 1:00. I didn't get out of bed until 4:15 when dinner was ready. I do have a Drs appt tomorrow for an antibiotic. I've only been fighting this sinus crap since the end of January. I hate flying. This happens every time I fly. Sorry. My turn to vent. The scale has been changing in my case but not my health. Ugh.

    Esther
