Well that didn't work. I meant to reply to the comment-Greek yogurt with almond or peanut butter and a bit of hot cocoa powder.

New tatoo on upper arm? Very nice

Week 4 lost 2 more pounds for a total of eight pounds lost. My official weigh day is sunday. Will have my "last chance work out" today.

I will be weighing and measuring myself the first of each month from now on. Now when I go into the bathroom I don't see the scale looking at me. I…

Loss this week...ZERO...

Well fair is fair. The ladies talk about their " stuff"

It helps me to track my carbs and try to get 45 grams of carbs, or close to it at each meal. Also protein keeps you full so you don't get that terrible starving feeling. I try to get about 40 % of my calories from protein spread throughout my day. I don't know why you are tracking calcium. Maybe change that tracker to…

Lost 3 pounds week two. 6 down.

I did the same thing night before last. Called restaurant to find out what was on buffet, made my choices, logged them, then went out to eat. This worked really well. Did not feel at all deprived. Had a very nice evening with hubby and friends.

Make humus with chick peas. You will have to look up a recipe. I make mine in a small food processor.

That is terrific. At my pace, four miles would take me almost two hours. Lol

After smoking for 35 years I quit using the patch and Nicolette gum. It has been 3 1/2 yrs. my husband wasnt so lucky, it took two strokes and a heart attack before he awoke to the fact that the cigs were killing him. Now he is disabled, can only do an activity for 15 minutes before he needs to rest.
