OK everyone!! I know that I am going to have a tough week this week, due to all of the candy laying around at work and the V-day potluck that we are having at work tomorrow!! I did very well over the X-mas and New Years holidays and I plan on kicking this holidays' butt too!! LOL Just wanted to wish everyone good luck...and remind you, that if we used every holiday as an excuse to "cheat" or have a "bad day" then we would have a reason for every month of the year!! stay focused and remember...this is a LIFE CHANGE not a, "diet now, and do whatcha want later"!!

As TJ told us, we will be going into a PART 2 , after Page 20 of this Blog so don't panic just look for Part 2 or "2011 New Me Club - Part 2"

Let's try for at least 1.5 lbs this weekend.



"Don't Quit"

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
Whe he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out -

The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

I am assuming that everyone is doing well and is excited about the new number we will pull down on Saturday. Remember that we will be going into a PART TWO of this blog, so let's make a pact, to stay on track. Glad you are back CDMOMMA and everything is coming back together for you.

HAVE A GREAT WEDNESDAY, and drink up (water, water, water), so we can have a great "Swoosh"

I am for sure still here...where is everyone else this week?? today was my oficial weigh-in and I only lost 0.8lbs which was my smallest loss so far I KNOW I KNOW...a loss is a loss, and every little bit counts but I know that I can do better and plan on kicking it this week!!

Hello group does anyone else have a problem not going over the daily sugar grams allowed? I get 27 per day and seem to have a hard time not going over, as I am finding out that alomst everything has sugar in it. Does anyone have any input on this issue?

tjradd73

I wouldn't worry yourself too much about this, I bet if you seperate your sugars that you get from fruit, from your other sugars, that you would be under!! Fruit is great for a diet/life change and you should definately not worry about the amount of sugar that comes from it....just make sure the majority isn't coming from soda or candy or chocolate and it'll be all good!!

wanted to post one of my fave dessert recipes...

Pistachio Jello Salad

1 box pistachio jello (sugar free if you can find it)
1 can of crushed pineapple
1 tub fat free cool whip
1 large container of fat free cottage cheese

mix it all togethor
put in fridge for at least an hour to chill

makes 7 cups....1 cup serving is 214 calories (with regular jello)

i love it and it is filling, takes care of the sweet tooth, and has a ton of protein

Happy Friday everyone! I have been absent for awhile! The vaca went great, I know I went over on calories, but I think it was the beer that did it. It was all worth it though. Getting to see one of my oldest, best friends ever! Then getting home Sunday and a rough week at the hospital! I'm feeling back in the groove (somewhat). Sounds like everyone is doing great! WTG everyone!

I also have a hard time drinking water, I find that using the crystal light powder help a lot and I can drink at leat 4 bottles a day! Good luck

Good Morning Ladies/Gent:

Well it looks like a dreary weekend weigh-in for me. Fell off wagon, but am back on.

Hope everyone did better than myself and if you didn't do so well....just read the poem, "DON'T QUIT"

Don't forget to send me your new weight tomorrow. Good Luck to All!!!
