I ate two frosted cake donuts this am. I am so stressed and eating my way through it. I need to not gain! We're grilling for lunch (yes, in two feet of snow), and I need to stick to a chicken breast and salad.... no burger for me!! Help me stay strong.
On another note I take that as a no one does apa style writing??? Eeeeeek.....

I am up .6, but you know what? I'm down 14.8 pounds in a month (and that's with 5 cheat days). So I'm going to be happy about that. I'm almost to P3 of my diet (WOOHOO!), and sadly, the thing I'm most excited about? Oil and vinegar on my salads. Yup. Now if I could just find another job....

In fact, I was so stressed this am that I ate all of my calories in S'more poptarts before noon. 8 200 calorie poptarts . WTH? Who does that??? Major food issues. Anyhow, i kept under my calorie goal and worked out, too (well, shoveling snow - we got 12" and it's still coming down!) On another note, anyone a pro at APA and love editing? :grin: Sent from my DROID RAZR using DS Forum

I'm better w apa than mla. But since I have had to use MLA lately I'm afraid it woul be a mess. You can get free trials to apa editors online, which rock.

Every time I drink with DH I gain 2-4 lbs the next day. Dehydration and carbs. It will take a day or 2 of water, but will go away.

Ever have one of those "friends" who have no life experience, little education, but know EVERYTHING!!!??? She just had her fist baby and knows it all, although I am on number 4 and one has managed to survive and thrive to 15 yrs.

Today I posted on FB how much I have lost. She commented on how she has not lost a pound and is bummed. I talked about eating healthy, avoiding certain foods, drinking water not soda, etc. All the things we all have been doing to improve our health and weight. She told me I am wrong and it is only portions and drinking any liquids. Yet I have lost over 50 lbs and her none. She also was telling me about Weight Watchers (wrong info) which I am a member of and she is not. Really??? Does anyone else have these people in their lives. Sorry to vent, but honestly, she drives me crazy and the only reason I have her on FB is because she is the soon to be DIL of a GOOD friend who is my sons' respite worker.

You can do it! And, it's been a few years since my last English class so I'd probably be no help. Sorry

It will go quick enough remember water is the key.

Kimmie I have had a friend like that. It's funny how some people are like that. Many dr tell you it's all portions but the truth is its what you eat and drink too. Good for you losing as much as you have. When she is ready to really start losing he will listen she's just not there yet.
