But really...the guac is healthy as all get out! It's the chips that aren't. I'm going to experiment with squash slices to see if I can find a good dipping alternative.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it...unlike my lifestyle change.

Ohhhhh....that's harsh. But I must say....damn those chips! I could have just buried my whole face in that bowl!

OH! Healthy snack and a facial TOO!

I have a new dip/dressing. I had a few tablespoons of basil pesto left in a jar and added it to a pint of TJs organic nonfat yogurt. It was really good. I made more. I've been eating much better now. Lots of salad and veggies with this on it. Homemade pesto would probably better healthier, less fat, but this is easy, I would end up not making it and eating something not good for me. I used this with some avocado as a sandwich filling with leftover salad too.

I spent some time with a coworker last night, talking about our health and TDP site and food in general. She's got a low thyroid and takes meds for it, but she has such a difficult time getting healthier that's she's been very frustrated. I think our talk helped to renew her determination to eat better for herself and I credit this site and you all in here who've also done the same for me. Sure, I have less than stellar days, but it's my overall progress that counts and I always draw inspiration from you and this thread, so thank you all.

Oh, Gemme.....

I'm so glad we're all here for each other.

I hope that you're having luck keepin your sugar under control

*wink wink*

As for me....Monday is my official weigh day....last week I only lost 0.2 lbs.

Anywho, I weighed yesterday b/c I knew today was Valentines and that my sweetie and I would have chinese or thai or something outrageous and I didn't want one meal of cheating to make me feel like I screwed the whole week up

This way I have an entire week to make up for today's cheating. LOL

SOOOOOOO

Duh duh duhhhhhhh *key drumroll*

GUESS WHO IS FINALLY IN THE 360's????????

368.8

That's 23.2 lbs down in 5.5 weeks!!!!!!!!!

WHOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I honestly didn't think I could ever stick with something good for me this long. I have learned to pick myself back up after a fall down and to allow myself to cheat now and again.

I love all of you so much.

Seriously.

Nice job. You don't have to be perfect, just very good.

The weekend did not go well for me in terms of my eating.

The demon demanded carbs... crunchy, salty carbs.

Hence, the half-eaten bag of chips I tossed in the trash this morning. Coming on the tail end of Mexican Thursday night, some queso/pretzel bread thing Friday night, the "Gadzooks" ice cream that Jess left in the freezer... well, I feel like ass this morning.

Today will be a better day

On the bright side of things, Jess took me shopping over the weekend... I am down ANOTHER clothes size. I have to readjust my thinking to my new size - I am so accustomed to walking to the rack and grabbing - heaven forbid I try it on. I had to exchange several things yesterday for a smaller size. Yay!

I also have on a belt today - as an accessory rather than a necessity. I can't tell you how long its been since I was ok with a belt.

It feels pretty good

Hey all..

I have a question for anyone who is a member of the Biggest Loser Club (the online group): are all the meal options omnivore or are there other options?
