No biggie here for me. I only drink socially during the holidays/weddings, and not that much. I'd much prefer "FOOD" of which I am learning to control much better with MFP. Wish everyone a good weight loss week.

Thanks for the congrat Jane. Sad to see we have lost two of our members, I wish them well. New goal for 2017! My nephew is getting married. Back in 2012 my brother got married, and looking back over the pictures (4 brothers and 4 sisters), I looked like a water buffalo. Next year I plan to be the beauty queen of the group…

Good morning everyone. Rough week end, besides tired of working 3rd shift 2nd job I attended a birthday party on Saturday. I pretty much steered clear of the buffet table. She did make wonderful fruit kabobs. I ate a big hunking piece of birthday cake with strawberry fluffed icing. I haven't had a piece of cake since…

Thank you everyone for the congratulations. A large part is knowing I have to face the scale on Monday and the encouragement I receive from team YELLOW each day. You are all life savers. Having lunch out with a friend today at Perkins restaurant. I looked at their web site and found a sandwich called a "Little…

being diligent and tracking is the key! Hope everyone has good scores this past week.

After working 11:00 to 7:00 a.m. shift (week-end job) I had an a.m. church meeting. Of all the nerve, they served pizza for lunch, but also a large salad. It was the only thing that saved me. Happy to say I stayed within my day's intake totals. It's tough out there, stay strong sisters!!!!

Jane: Can you look at my log and see if I am putting in the correct total under the "bonus points" row, and let me know either way. Thanks!

I know what you mean. It is so dreary outside and I feel like just closing my eyes (not too spiffy when at work). I appear to be in the right frame of mind to talk myself in getting up and about. Hope everyone has a good day. Going to maker a spot of green tea now!!

Here is a pistachio pudding recipe I keep on hand when I want something sweet. Combine the following: 32 oz. plain yogurt (any kind you like), 1 whole can of crushed pineapple in its own juice and two boxes (small ones) of jello no-sugar pistachio pudding mixes. Combine thoroughly and keep in refrigerator to cool. I…

I'm going to be joining a gym this Saturday with a friend. Hopefully I'll help to boost my points up. Wish me luck!

I made a huge portion of chicken vegetable stew with double the vegetables. I'm one of those strange people who will eat the same meal every day until it is gone (love left overs-less cooking to be done). Therefore, I'm getting my vegetables everyday. Yummy!! MissEESmith, I love your motivational posters. Thanks!

No problem at all, I have replaced my sweet tooth sugars for the fruits. Wish I could have more!!!

YEAH!!! Patti Patti, she's our champ, and we're all glad she's in the YELLOW camp! You big point grabber (my hero), congratulations.

lost 2.4 lbs. Not as large as I thought I should, but happy with a loss. Hope everyone else has done well. I can't believe we are half way through our challenge.

Ah Jane, I hope you and your family start to feel better. Patti, I laughed so hard over your latest motivational poster. It is now hanging over my desk and on my refrigerator door. hahahahaha!!!

OMG, I just read over my entry today. The sentence is "like a HOG at a trough". Sorry about that. Oh well, I guess I'll be leaving work today and shoveling some more. I feel like I live in a snow globe, but I won't let it interfere with my weight loss journey today! Tomorrow is another day.

We I have been getting my exercise in for the past two days. We had a horrendous snow storm in NW PA, and I have been shoveling myself out and helping my neighbors out also. Yuck!!! This week is going by fast and furiously. I have decided to bypass the church tureen program/dinner, because I'm like a hot at a trough at…

I think this is a wonderful idea. I use the scale that is in my office, so I have to run over before I get to church. I also keep tract on my own MFP chart with my Monday weigh in. I won't have to go to the office on Sunday now. Hope this goes through. Thanks!

It's working. Lost 2.6 last week. Would of lost more if I could get more exercise in. Goal for this week.

What a day I had today. It was our office staff meeting, so of course we had an in-house luncheon. Proud to say I only ate 2 meatballs and a cup of cut up fresh fruit. I was the one who brought triple chocolate browns (layer of chocolate chip cookies in which a Reese's peanut butter cup is placed and then deep chocolate…

OMG!!!! CIRCLES OF DEATH. Stay away!!! They look divine.

Hey everyone. I don't know what the weather is like for you all, but it's 11 degrees here in Titusville, PA with continuous blowing snow. burrrrrr!!!! So inside exercising today. I'll just walk around the halls at lunchtime. Cassandra, I'm curious, just what is Paczkis? Or do I not want to know. Keep tracking your food…

How's everyone doing. Love the "Chugwater" picture miztess. My kidneys are floating. I have never drank so much water in my life!!! I agree, if it wasn't for this challenge and RedVelette, I would be grazing at the hog trough. I actually threw away a sweet chocolate morsel that someone gave me at work (after they had left…

Congratulations Patti, you're #1. Good luck everyone else this week. I need to get more exercise in. My goal this week is to increase my score from last week. I'm happy that I lost weight. There is hope.

Get well Simbersea. This has been an excellent week in learning how to be more aware of what I am eating and enjoying all of your comments and concerns. Keep up the good work everyone!

Hello everyone, just finishing up my meal planning for today. Also have to stop at the grocery store to get veggies. I can certainly say I have not been hungry this week. I actually had to make sure I was not below the daily goals. Tracking is helping me to stay on track. Thanks for all your help and encouragement, and…

I agree chocolate does make your clothes shrink, along with pork, desserts, ice cream. Need I go on. That was really cute! Thanks for the visual.

hey teammates. I learned to make an extra large portion of salad with any kind of meat for the protein at lunch time. Then I don't have to worry about whether I had enough vegetables later on. I made the mistake of thinking I could just each canned green beans (which I love), but found that I was eating a ton of salt.…

Hi Cassandra, wonderful idea. I was able to open the spreadsheet up, but when I tried to enter my numbers it does nothing. Am I suppose to open something up? Techno Dummy.

Ah, the light bulb has switched on about the +3500. Thanks RedVelvette. This is an added incentive for me to stop sitting all the time. Thanks!!!
