Thanks Noel! Yesterday was Green . Sometimes I switch my yellows around if I know the week holds something I'd like to enjoy, but this time I really didn't have a great plan for making yesterday green...it just kind of happened. I wasn't feeling very well & by evening I realized the day had been gre...

Thanks for dropping by everyone....it's always so encouraging to know we're all being cheered on. I didn't just have a GREEN day yesterday, I had a Great and FABULOUS GREEN day! I started a thread entitled, "What Didn't You Eat?" because I went to the NYS fair and didn't eat a funnel cake...or a fri...

So what DIDN'T you eat?
I just got back from the NY State Fair. You know fairs...there were funnel cakes.... sausage & peppers... fried pickles... fried Snickers bars... roasted potatoes... ice cream... just about any kind of treat you could imagine. I had decided that I'd switch my yellow Saturday to today so I could have...

Noel, Thanks for dropping by. Nope, there weren't any tigers let loose in my house yesterday! The roof didn't cave in and I didn't get swallowed up by a huge taco salad...lol.

Hi KCCC & Pam, What a great adventure we're on, isn't it? And what a concept - freedom to NOT eat when we don't want to! I'm just shaking my head over that one...seems too good to be true! LOL...

Here's my thinking....I have over 40 years of bad eating habits racked up. You might not have nearly as much, but even if you've had a tough time for a ...

Hi Shelly, Two questions....1) Are you sure you are over the weight your body should be? I've never had this experience, but sometimes one might think the scale should be lower than what is truly healthy. 2) Have you read the book yet? This plan is very simple, but reading the whole book is a huge h...
