Happy Valentine Day for everyone. My husband sent me daises this year to my office, everyone is enjoying them. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Weddings always provide water and I walk around holding a full glass the whole time. That way I can gracefully refuse food. Good luck what a wonderful way to start on Valentine day. My thoughts are with you Thalia. I know you read the posts even if you do not respond. My carbs were lower yesterday around 100g. However…

Wondered what had happened to you Thalia. I am still facing snow storms and it is hard to get a good internet connection. I keep a small calendar in my purse to write down what I eat so I have a record to update my diary when I'm able to. My carbs are my downfall, they still hover around 200g. Had a salad and 2 fruit for…

My fiber is up to 25g but so is my carbs (147g). Had a fruit but no salad yet this week. I will add more later.

Congradulations Jaymie, sounds like a keeper if he flew to Ausie land with you. Myth, This week may be hard to keep track of everything, but I'll try.:bigsmile:

Eek, dress warm for olympics. I went to summer games in Atlanta back in 96, was a real treat think everyone should go at least once. Myth, my average fiber for week of Feb 1 to Feb 5 was 18 g. Am on a 2000 calorie diet but that is close. Had 3 salads and 7 fruit. What's next? New beginnings, congrats on weight loss with…

thaila, My thoughts are with you about your Grandpa and ex. Just keep us posted and let out steam when you need to. Fiber was down yesterdayI ate egges for breakfast and they do not have much fiber. Dad got up early with us and fixed a great meal before we left for work. Nice to be pampered. Will probably move back out to…

Good going EEK. Don't think my kees would let me bend far enough for a lunge. For the 3rd I had 21g of fiber. Most of it comes from yougert and fruit. 1cup salad only has 1g (thought it would have more than that). This challenge has me watching every little bite I take. Cannot wait to see what I watch next week.:wink:

going to stay with mom again for a few days. Had 19g of fiber for yesterday. and an orange. Had salad Monday. I like the Fiber challenge keeps me watching choices closer.:wink: Chipgal

Weather kept me away from a computer for a few days. I do not have internet at the farm. I had 3 salads last week and 4 fruits. Look forward to this weeks chalange.:drinker:

Been out of touch a few days. Just end of year 1099s and W2s. Tracked meals manually and put them in computer this morning. Happy belated birthday Myth, next birthday will be a new you, slimmer and fitter. Chipgal

Still have some salad makings it will probably do 2 more if I eat them early in the week. The fruit is easy I have a banana everyday with breakfast. (Dr. order) I did not have enough potasium and banana is the best way to get it with out another pill. I'll try to add apples or orages to this week and have 2 of them to…

Washed all my green stuff and had an excellent salad.:love: Used most of my calories on lunch at a local resturant with some co workers. Will do another salad tonight. Thanks for the challenge it helps having a group with you. NewBeginnings good luck on the 16 hr shift. Chipgal

Still have yet to wash my greens, maybe tonight. I do not have anything planned. chipgal

Congradulations on the family meal Jaymie. I took myth's advise as well and found I took a box home from the restruant because we visited more than ate. I think it was a great idea. keep posting.:bigsmile:

NewBeginings, Keep up the good work. Seems like 4 years when you give up something you really enjoy. chipgal

Myth, Glad to keep you amused. Have not been home long enough to wash all the greens. Hopefully will get home earlier tonight. Chipgal

Hello Myth, I bought several shades of letuce leaves in the produce section of a super store. They had Romaine, spinich, red leaf, and 2 other leves that looked edible. Should make for a great salad. I like lots of different greens to make the salad look pleasant. Will use a little salsa as dressing.

Myth I'll take you challange. :wink: I'll plan for 2 salads this week. Tonight I'll go by some Romaine and Spinch leaves. Chipgal

I would join in the group to watch how my food intake would change.

I weighed on my new scale this morning and I am the same weight as the Dr had me at last week. Guess that is ok as I have not begun any activity to help counting calories. (And several days I was over on calories) Glad to have all the new posters keeps things interesting. and I love the fact that Myth has time to write…

Myth, I have triple chins right now when it gets to a double I can face a camera. The logo is from my company. Chipgal

Welcome to all the new comers. Enjoy seeing pictures. For Myth I'll post a picture when I get one that does not make me look like a blimp. Doing well this week, just added sugar to my watch list and was very surprised how many sugars are hidden in fruit. I have cut down to one quarter cup of apple sauce for breakfast and…

Welcome all the new comers. I measured on Saturday and forgot to bring in the paper that I wrote it down on. Husband said I should weigh once a week and measure once a month to keep track. We purchased a nice digital scale this weekend and will weigh myself on Saturday mornings. My husband said a lot could happen in 3…
