    Hi Lill, well, tomorrow is weigh in day so you should see some activity tomorrow. Charlie's been camping, everyone else just busy I think. We would never leave you off the list! It's been just about a week since I had three food celebration days and hope that I'm back on track with my weight tomorrow! How have you been doing with everything? How are your classes going? My one class has finals on next Wednesday but then off, in terms of college teaching, until the 12th. Other irons in the fire though.

    Marney, I've discovered that whipped cream (in the spray can) has many of the charms of ice cream with many fewer calories. Sweet, creamy, cold. And I've also discovered that I like the Breyer's lactose free vanilla ice cream. Agrees with my digestion, tastes great, fewer calories.

    Try putting fat free cool whip between two chocolate graham crackers,place in freezer bag and freeze.Good when you want ice cream.you can make a bunch at one time .

    Mary,

    this sounds good, going to try it.

    Wow, look at Beth go!!!! Great job!

    I am doing fine with my leaving a bite goal and ready to add one more day to the mix.

    I am on one of my plateaus though. Can't seem to budge again. I am the Queen of plateaus. I will stay, gain, lose back to low, and then hold some more, but it can take weeks before the scale drops to a new low. I should be used to it after all this time, but...it will come off in a whoosh...someday! :)

    Hope everyone else has had a good week. I'm fighting a summer cold right now, but not bad enough to knock me down.

    I'm still here! I weigh every morning as usual and am below my 130-132 target - 129.6 today. My friend and her two daughters (6 yo and 16 yo) arrived from CA on Wednesday. I haven't seen her in 17 years! I was so happy to be in the shape I am in now. Two years ago on a trip back home to India she picked up some clothes for me and brought them along. They all fit beautifully! But two years ago I couldn't have gotten into them.

    Her daughters wanted to join me in cooking. That's been fun, including making marshmallows.

    I've maintained my weight now for 2 months - keeping below my red flag of 132 lbs. I know what a serving size is and don't have seconds. Activity of some sort everyday.

    I'm going to post the Ginger Syrup recipe in Recipes. I'm not a soda drinker but had the syrup in club soda at a restaurant and came home to search it out. It's adjustable and much better than any ginger ale.

    Headed the right direction...Lill just directed me to an article about increasing metabolism through strength training. I posted the link in our links thread. Need to start going to the senior fitness classes at the local rec center. I know my weight is going to continue to languish if I don't.

    I think I'm actually getting more muscles in my head ;) Did you know that today was National Ice Cream Day and Cold Stone had a two for one deal going today? Don't worry, I had the skinny vanilla.

    I must confess, I celebrated National Ice Cream day at Dairy Queen......the surprising thing is that I was able to stay within my calorie count for the day...
