I'm in Twin Lakes, ID
Snacks? If I have too many snacks around the house that's all I do is eat snacks... I have a jar of dry roasted peanuts at my desk with a 1/8 measuring cup, I don't allow myself any more than that. For dessert I've tried the yoplait parfaits they are OK but a lttle too sweet, the weight watchers ice cream cups are really good, and I've tried the smartones brownie ala mode and it's pretty good. I love to have fruit (small apples or oranges) with my lunch to satifisfy that sweet craving afterwards.0 -
I am in Corcoran, CA0

I live in Houston, Tx.
Sorry for being so absent lately. I went on vacation (which WAS relaxing after all) then had family over for a few days. They left about 20 minutes ago. With all that is going on, I have fallen off the wagon in a big way. I am upset with myself but at the same time, this has been the longest I have ever gone with sticking to a healthy lifestyle. I won't let this bump in the road take me all the way back to 185, and I am starting over FRESH tomorrow. These few pounds I have gained will melt away, and I will continue to lose!0 -
Amanda, glad you were able to enjoy your vacation. Your positive attitude is very inspiring!!
I ate 2 small pieces of pzza with the family for dinner tonight and am soooo proud of myself for not having 4 or more!!0 -

Well, I weigh in officially tomorrow, but just for the heck of it, I weighed in this morning (unofficially) at 227.6, which means I went up .2lbs
But hopefully it will be different tomorrow. My eating habits haven't changed and my exercise has been push just a bit harder than previous weeks do to advancing in C25k..hopefully it will pass. That icky weekend is approaching again, I think it will be another one at home which should do me good. Hope you all are having a wonderful week so far and an even better weekend. XoxoxoX Bru 0 -
I jumped the gun and got on the scale this morning just to check things out. I was really hoping for a repeat of last week but I can't complain because the scale was down .4lbs. I have started C25K back up after being sick for a week. I thought I was going to have to start over but I started with week 2 and I am so ready to move on to week 3. I was sad when the running part was over. What has happened to me LOL!! Hopefully tomorrow the scale will move again in the right direction

Tonight I'm starting training for the Bix 7 race the end of July! Its a grueling 7 mile, full of hills race! However running with 15,000 -20,000 people is a lot of fun! I won't be running it however! I always run the hills, but fast walk the rest! I haven't done it since 2004!

Did my weigh-in this morning, was kinda disappointed, I guess I was expecting the same results as last week. I'm down to 135, which is a pound less than last week, but my first week on SB I lost 3lbs and I guess I was expecting the same thing this week.
I'm going to a mini high school reunion lunch tomorrow and I'm am hoping to get into these capris that I love, haven't tried them on yet. I still have today to fight off atleast one more pound!!!!
Hope everyone else has had a productive week!! And have a Healthy week-end!0 -
The scale has moved A LOT.... in the wrong direction! I am weighing in at 159 this morning. This puts me 5 lbs up from where I was a couple weeks ago. I am going to drink a lot, lot, lot of water today and hopefully flush out all of the sodium I have been eating. I am happy to finally feel motivated again and am expecting these 5 to come off easier than they did the first time.0

I made it- I made it- I made it!!!
I made it to Onderland!! I am officially under 200 lbs. My weigh-in this morning is 199.6 lbs! I look forward to the weekend but at the same time I'm a alittle nervous. My hubby is leaving tonight for the in-laws place a few hours away, the girls and I will head out in the morning. I am a huge snacker when I'm on the road. I will definately get some healthy snacks for munching so I don't stop at convenience stores and end up with junk food. Any good road trip snack ideas out there?0 -
:bigsmile: Awesome job, Randi! I can't wait till I get there with you! :bigsmile:
Road snacks: If you have a mini cooler, pack some cheese sticks, apple, grapes, celery, carrots, almonds.... those are some great non-messy snacks! :flowerforyou:

HELLO PALS:
WOW! I have been off on a NILE CRUISE the past week while my guests were visiting from AMERICA so I have not been on MFP at all. IT HAS BEEN 10 DAYS OF GUESTS AND MY WHOLE ROUTINE WAS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN BUT I MADE AS MANY GOOD CHOICES OF FOOD AT THE BUFFETS, AND DID AS MUCH EXERCISES AS I COULD. WE WALKED A LOT WHEN EVER WE WERE OFF THE SHIP ON TOURS. PLUS I SWAM A LOT IN THE LITTLE POOL ON DECK.
WEIGHED IN WHEN I GOT BACK AND WAS DOWN A COUPLE POUNDS WHICH MADE MY DAY. I THINK MOST OF IT WAS SWEATED OFF IN THIS HEAT. IT WAS OVER 100 IN UPPER EGYPT MOST OF THE DAYS AND IT IS ALSO HOT HOT HOT IN CAIRO! I KEEP DRINKING WATER, PEEING AND SWEATING!! LOL

Duluth is in northern Minnesota on the shores of Lake Superior. We have a great room with a great view of the lake. Was not expecting that when we booked the room. Last time we stayed at this hotel we had a view of the parking lot. It is beautiful here!
Have a great evening!

GOOD FOR YOU! Can't WAIT til I get there! That was the goal I set for myself in January. To hit 199 by my daughters wedding which is the 26th of this month. One more week. I just can't seem to get below 210.5 but I'm still proud of my loss.0
