sorry, just wanted to grab your attention

is anyone around here? who still looks at this board? I feel lonely

I just came to the realization that today I weighed in at 191.5 which puts me in the overweight category for the first time since 2001. It feels good to no longer be "obese" Overweight is not where I want to be ultimately, but every day that passes brings me closer to my goal of 165. Although I may slip throughout the journey I am determined not to fall and stay down.

Thank you once again to everone for all the support and answers and inspirational stories. Coming here and reading your posts is one of the things that has kept me going

I got off track and I’m paying for it! It started with Lobster nachos at Red Lobster on Sunday and ended last night with The California Turkey Club at Applebee’s last night. I’m officially back today.

I have the worst heartburn! Normally, I’m not bothered by those types of things- I pride myself on my "cast iron stomach". (Does this mean that I’m getting old?)

For those of you who use to suffer from this lil’ ailment, how long did it take for the symptoms to go away after you went to LC? and any remedies to help in the meantime?

I HAD to have an indulgence of some kind. This might be more of a maintenance meal, might not pass for induction, but I needed it!

1. Cook fresh or nuke 1 lb or more of leftover meat.

2. In well seasoned cast iron skillet, add 3-4 tbsp heavy cream. Add half a block of cream cheese, melt slowly. Add shredded cheddar. I had to use a little half and half to get it "saucy" enough, but I didn’t have many carbs today so I think I’ll be OK (I haven’t put all this in fitday yet, I’m kinda skeert to, I might go over a little!).

3. Cook broccoli until it’s done the way you like it.

4. Plate meat and sauce over broccoli.

5. Add crushed black pepper when serving.

6. Be careful, this is orgasmic.

7. When you’ve had your fill, add some more half and half to the sauce and stretch it so the kids will have some too!

Your turn!

i stepped on the scale this morning and, drumroll please……

I started Locarb many years ago. It took me a long time to get into the mind set of high fat (good fats) and locarb, but I did it and loved it. I had not been losing weight recently so I decided to do locarb weight watchers. I did great, but the only thing I could really eat was chicken! I got board very easily and started cheating. As of tomorrow, I am commited to do what I have to do for the next 30 years to get healthy and loose this 30 lbs!

My biggest problem is that I love beer. I do great during the week, but on the weekends I love to have a few beers, which totally blows the week. With WW I could have the beer (saving my points) and not have a problem.

I have come to realize that I am trying to make this a way of life. I need to find a balance. I want to have fun on the weekend (especially in the summer). Is that too much to ask?????

If I continue with the WW and 1200 calories per day, by the time I reach goal weight, I will only be eating 900 calories per day which is so not what I want! I need and love to eat!

Has anyone else had this problem and solved it????????????????

HELP!
