you might also ask your doctor if a test was done for celiac disease (allergy to wheat products). it's not commonly tested for. if you get your bloat as soon as you eat cereal, that could be a possible cause.

while it may not be realistic to lose 25 pounds in 2 months, it is possible, if you've been eating well and working out, that you can still fit in the dress. size doesn't care so much about how much you weigh. have you tried it on? i have a dress that i made when i weighed 25 pounds less than i currently am (about 10 years…

how much time do you have? what about using the crock pot? i use a package of chicken gravy with the requisite amount of water, 2 chicken breasts (even frozen is okay) put them into my little crock pot. i let it cook for a few hours (3-4, maybe?). you can also do it with a package of taco seasoning (i use a can of ro*tel…

oatmeal with ground flax meal and wheat germ. i make a huge batch on the weekend in my rice cooker and portion it out over the week. i do add a little brown sugar (about 1t) and a dollop of milk or half & half (from the portioned containers). i also do a "green" smoothie that i drink throughout the day with the spinach,…

i don't make goals based on my weight. because it's not something i can control, but missing that kind of goal can lead to huge disappointment, i figure it's best to aim for things i have 100% control over. because we've all had "perfect" weeks, where the scale doesn't behave as we expect it to. if you base your goals on…

crock pot time! this takes less than 5 minutes for anything you need to do for it. although a couple hours of cook time in the crock. 2 chicken breasts (frozen is okay) 1 bag frozen mixed veggies 4-5 cups water + bullion or broth take the chicken breasts (i buy in bulk and freeze when it's on sale, so frozen is actually…

so, you've been on the site since 1/7. it's now 2/15. that's about 5 weeks. you've lost 4 pounds (not counting the 6 pounds you say is water weight). that's GOOD! giving up after 5 weeks isn't going to help you get to your goals. if you feel you need a break, take one, but continue to be aware of your intake (trust me,…

okay, i'm going to see what i can find for lunch. it's late, but i'm bored of what's in the house, too.

hopefully i won't have to make my cat an account so he can lose the excess weight from them.

if this doesn't work, we're going to try steroids.

i really hope it calms him down. he's been over licking (self mutilating) for too long now. poor little guy.

i'm going to have to go out later to pick up a prescription for one of my cats. he's incredibly anxious, so we're going to try him on some prozac.

So bored today. work is incredibly quiet (i'm working at home, but nothing coming through and i'm caught up on everything else).

have a good night!

heading off for a nap soon. because i really only sleep about 4 hours a night these days. trying to get the b to work on his snoring. he's resistant to some of the easy suggestions. *sigh*

geez, i'm missing all the page turns now!

it was nice having people notice, though!

technically i haven't (i still weigh about the same as i did then). i am smaller, though.

i did see a lot of people i haven't seen for a few years today. most of them seemed to think i've lost weight.

i bought the ck desktop software a few months ago, and have been logging with that. on mfp, i have a single entry that's worth 100 calories, that i plug in based on what i've logged in my diary. i'm sure i'll get bored with doing that at some point, but i have been plugging in my exercise, too. just so there's something…

angela from nh. i don't remember how active she is with blogs and in forums. she went in spurts as i recall.

and now i'm home. class was canceled this evening because of the horrendous snow storm we are being hit with. um, maybe in alabama this would be a serious thing, but we don't even have an inch yet. not even half. i am really not sure what they were expecting, but we'd have to have this current snow fall continue for about…

but i did have breakfast with angela (from ck) this morning!

well, i did actually mean lunches. i try to avoid lunges. but i like lunches! although i missed mine today.

i'm all changed and heading for the gym! today is upper body. then lunches! tonight is yoga. yay!

i guess i won't be winning the title back tonight. i'm exhausted today! i was actually busy at work, then came home and did what? oh, went to the grocery store and got my lunch (have i told everyone about my christmas present bento box? LOVE IT!) and smoothie prepared for tomorrow. 'night all!

i'm doing my monthly meal plan. i have a couple of blank spots. any suggestions? b's input was "something beef, something chicken, something pasta and death by chocolate"

i do have my motorcycle license. even though i don't own (any kind of) a bike.

i don't really want to be a trucker (i can't drive more than about 50 minutes before i start nodding off), even though i'm used to the snow. it's good that my limit is 50, since my commute to work is 40-45

unlike some (smarter) states, we don't shut down for days. even on the weekends. i'm sure it'll be business as usual.
