  • @lennoncpa - oh my gosh - what a cutie and so tiny!! @cyndiesstuff - does eating off an orange plate count? I have a lovely orange fiesta plate that I use every night. No one else is allowed to use it!! Weekend update: Not too too bad. I noticed I was a little sore in my hips and such and I think it was left overs from bad…

  • Happy Thursday...we are almost done with the week! Yesterday was another day not on plan but also interesting. (Today I am still shaky but starting to feel in control again). So what was interesting is my craving which I had ALL freakin' day. Peanut Butter and toast. Why would I be craving something like that - then it hit…
  • Tuesday check in Bad day food wise...well part of it was bad. I'm into another cycle of cravings and trying to work through it. Nothing sounds good except carbs. I'll keep listening to F2F and work through this. I did however drink plenty of water yesterday and did yoga last night plus 10,000+ steps. Work up this morning…
  • I'd say just keep talking and talking and talking so she won't notice what you eat or drink. Keep her distracted :) and do what is best for you. Good luck and have fun!!
  • Can I just say it :) weird but I bet it's delicious! It's kinda like have gravy on your fries I think most Canadians love it and I've converted a few Americans. mmmmmm beef gravy on fries!!!

  • Sunday check in: Food - almost on plan. I was pretty hungry so I allowed myself some extra food. I feel much better today. Carbs were less than 40 grams which is a win for me! Water - great day. I even got up at 1:30 am to go to the bathroom. I usually never have to get up :) Exercise - I wanted to do C25K but it was just…
  • Friday and Saturday check in Both great days - food, water and exercise good. I did buy some ice for home and now I am drinking so much more. I can’t have any taste in my water except my water drops. I even had my hubs install a filtered water dispenser on my kitchen sink! Yesterday we cleaned the garage, it was hot and…

  • Start: plan my day every morning: food and exercise I need to do this DAILY! Stop: work on my afternoon sugar cravings and find a way to stop this bad habit. If I don't have sugar cravings on the weekend, why do I have them during weekday? Habit and habit only! (and stress and boredom) :) Keep: getting my steps and doing…
  • Wednesday check in: Food – right on plan! Water – great! Exercise – 10,000+ steps and 20 minutes yoga Awesome day yesterday! I am also really enjoying my water right now.

  • @cyndiesstuff – HAPPY FIRST DAY AT THE NEW JOB!!! You made it!!! @Julie8468 – yes definitely listen to PNP while you are in Orlando.

  • Friday WI PW: 145.6 CW: 147.6 Funny...struggling with cravings for two whole weeks and wake up today feeling back in control. Not sure exactly what that means :)
  • @cyndiesstuff - welcome back. We have missed you!!! You do realize how important you are to all of us right? @sleepymom5 - sorry PT is giving you mixed feelings. Give it time and see. It's crazy how everything is connected in our bodies and it could just be one very weak muscle somewhere causing all the issues. Just give…

  • @amsandos - congratulations on passing! One thing on my bucket list is to retake swimming lessons. I am such a bad swimmer yet I think it would be so fun. Last swimming class I took was probably when I was 10 😂 As to the pact, you did have a lot going on, shall we try again next month? Did you read what Mrsbell8well wrote…
