it's 4:21 pm and I am STARVING. It's tough starting over!! No soda (ok, ok, ONE sip this morning!) but I did cheat. Sigh. Already! 2 mini cinnamon donuts and 2 small lemon cookies. On the pther hand, I took the kids (Gracie in the wagon! me pulling, of course, and she is not as light weight as she l...

Jaxhil

Hiya Tiffani! I hope you had a great weekend! I did, I got a lot of sewing time, completed two pairs of pants-one I really like and one, well, I need to fix them. They fit technically but they are tooooo high waisted-must be an 80's pattern :P I already did a mile on the treadmill, yah! I have decid...

Jaxhil

Good morning! So far anyway :P I am so glad to hear you are feeling better-I bet its mostly the running. But the vitamins are always a good idea! Maybe I should try some (other than the vit C and calcium I usually take). I actually didn't snack yesterday for once, wow-first time in a while, I'm asha...

Jaxhil

I feel your pain :P I too tend to eat out of boredom, and chocolate is the WORST temptation!! or best depending on your point of view 8) I agree, I find that if I keep myself busy with something that I enjoy, it keeps me from eating, because soon enough it slips my mind as I get involved with my dis...

Jaxhil

KCCC_*LOVE* your list!! All so true, for me as well...

And stevecooper-

ROFLOL -too funny about the sausage drip IV

I agree-70% forever beats the heck out of the alternative

(and I know I couldn't do 2 weeks perfect anyway!! lol)

Thanks for the smile!

Jaxhil

Congratulations!! It's so inspiring to hear how well others are doing this far in; great weight loss, and even better that its so easy to maintain!

Thanks so much for posting!

Jaxhil

Wow, I did not realize it had been so long since I posted-sorry about that! Kids have been driving me insane (they're acting up as I type, I should be in there!) day in and day out-weather's been crappy, rain rain and hey! how about some MORE rain?? Ugh. Normally I like rainy weather but we've had w...

Jaxhil

Wow, great job on getting in some exercise!! I hear ya on how hard it is to squeeze it in. I know what you mean about getting older (? you? HA!! you're a BABY). I look down at my hands sometimes and see wrinkled papery looking skin, like my MOM has :shock: :cry: AAAACK and I'm really depressed. I do...

Jaxhil

Good, about the exercise!! I am glad to hear it-it will at least increase your energy by heaps-and that in itself is reason enough to keep it up, in my book 8) I ate like a pig today-lots of sugary junk :o( -Jack's first Friday off, and I took Michael shopping with me, errands, and he helped pick ou...

Jaxhil

Good!! Sounds like a great day for you so far, yah!! I just noticed the last line of your previous post-Evoli went out the dog door?!! ROFLOL-thank God you caught her!!!!I always worry about that with Gracie when I go to my Mom's-they have one that goes immediately out to circular BRICK steps-AAAACK...

Jaxhil

8) Hiya!! Internet has been much better, I sure hope it stays that way-man when you get used to it it's amazing how hard it is to do without!! I am sorry to hear you've been lonely :( I sure know how that feels. Even my MIL is moving away-2 hr drive from here. It's not that far but still. We get alo...

Jaxhil

:( Oh, Tiff!! I am so sorry you're feeling bad. I am so sorry I haven't been able to keep up on the check ins..internet problems are a PI(*) :P I know you CAN do this ...I can too. Yes, we've obviously had a bad month-but that is over, look FORWARD not back-you are *strong*!! I know what it takes to...

Jaxhil

Hi Tiffani!! I am so sorry I haven't been posting. We are having MAJOR problems with our internet service. Basically I haven't been able to get on the net at ALL during the day-right now its 5:30 am here (ugh) It seems to work before six am and then goes *bye-bye!* completely until who knows when-la...

Jaxhil

How're Evoli and Noah? And you of course!! LOL. I am good-been having computer problems the last few days, so it's been hard to get online. Seems much better this morning, hooray!! I have been off the no-s... :( I had ice cream last night, but mostly I haven't been snacking. I was really hungry last...

Jaxhil

I'm just down in the dumps for the past week or so... doing TERRIBLE-okay, lets face it, I haven't tried at all for awhile. It's just so slow and OBNOXIOUS, you know?? I am not patient on a GOOD day, much less this 4-5 pounds in 3 months thing. Its really getting me down. Plus I think I have gained ...

Jaxhil

Jaxhil

Oh my goodness, pooor baby!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: I will pray for him, poor Noah!! What an awful thing. I hope he's going to be okay! Poor Evoli, too-five at once?! Ack!! Well hopefully this week will be better! I need to get on my treadmill today, haven't done it since Friday. At least the guys got ...

Jaxhil

Boy, I had a really bad week..I cheated my butt off... and I gained a couple pounds :cry: :oops: I just basically ate whenever I wanted. I tried to wait till I was hungry but some snacking snuck in :roll: and last night I over ate. At least I did actually exercise yesterday! And I am sorry I haven't...

Jaxhil

Sorry its been so long! I've been busy trying to implement more of a schedule around here (I'm what you call a spontaneous type, lol-I'm bad at keeping to schedules!). It's keeping me on track a bit better though already. Although I still haven't managed to do my scheduled morning workouts :roll: Ha...

Jaxhil

That's so funny you feel guilty-no way you should feel GUILT :D You should feel PEACE, lol...they are in bed happily dreaming and snoozing, while you get some *well-deserved* private time with your hubby 8) Just the way it should be! (ok I do sorta understand about the guilt, but believe me, you wil...

Jaxhil

I'm glad to hear the sleep training for Evoli's commenced! I know, I feel your pain! Just remember, it's for her (and your0 own good, and she will be *soooo* much happier when she can get fully rested! Not to mention when Mama's happy and rested too, how much better will that be for everyone?! Yes m...

Jaxhil

Hey there! Glad to hear from you :D Yes Jack is feeling better-just in time for another beating this weekend, LOL. poor honey :P He's got to put in the posts this weekend, but thankfully, no more digging, hehe. I have had a good day so far-I've been working on a pair of jeans shorts for Jack. I trac...

http://everydaysystems.com/podcast/episode.php?id=28

this is a great podcast-might be something useful, if you are of a mind to at least semi-follow nos still

later!

Jaxhil

Btw, I make great pancakes-if you want the recipe, let me know. The only way I like pancakes now (even my own!) is if they are made with blueberries and very little syrup.

yum that actually sounds really good-I must be hungry

time to make breakfast-ttylater!!

Jaxhil

:( I am so sorry to hear about Evoli's terrible boo-boo!! OUCH! Poor baby! Do NOT beat yourself up about this. Jacob broke his arm falling off a high chair when he wasn't even two-talk about guilt! And to top it off after bringing him home from the hospital (where they *carefully* looked him over fo...

Jaxhil

I think No S is perfect for you, even if you *don't* lose weight-which I agree, it doesn't sound like you need to! :lol: 8) I just want to say from my own experience *do NOT* go on another diet-when I was 22 yrs old, I decided I needed to lose about 10 lbs. I had decent self esteem at the time. I we...

Jaxhil

Yes you CAN home school-there are many wonderful curicullums (I canNOT spell that, arghh) available that cover every subject imaginable. Seriously, if I can ANYONE can!!!! :D We have had an extremely busy weekend. Jack took Friday and Monday off to start putting in a fence around our front yard. He ...

Jaxhil

I'm glad to cheer you on!! Anytime, sweetie!! WOW-you really ARE doing great!! (ok, I knew you were-grin-)SEVENTEEN pounds?!!! I would be flipping for joy :D I am jealous :P I got my stickers at Walmart, I think-but any school supply section at a grocery store or office supply should have them. The ...

Jaxhil

Bee, Excellent advice!! I agree wholeheartedly. For someone who hasn't breast fed or had small children, you hit the nail on the head :D I meant to mention on our check in, Tiffani, that lack of sleep CAN DEFINITELY stall weight loss. I don't really know why, but I have heard this from more than one...

Jaxhil

Oh I meant to say, yeah, I kinda let go of the counting too. I think seeing mostly green stickers on the calendar is enough for me, rather than the complete and utter failure of "gee I messed up my 21 day run" , I can look at the overall green-ness of my calendar, and say: hey, it's just a little bu...

Jaxhil

Yes. I KNOW!! I hear ya!! I've been thinking the same thing-I don't want to stop, but I DO want RESULTS!! :( That's why it's good that my MIL said something the other day to me (btw, computer issues have kept me offline the last couple of days, sorry!). I *do* sort of feel thinner overall, too. And ...

Jaxhil

I like vincas too! But I think they need part shade, I'm not sure. And shade is in short supply around here :roll: It's 82 here today but I bet it feels like 90-I am so grateful for air conditioning! We have FOUR HUMONGOUS brush piles :!: YUCK. DH doesn't want to burn them because we have a ton of c...

Jaxhil

monday...need i say more?? lol-actually it's going pretty well. I've been a good girl :P (so far!) I am sleepy; I planted some more in the garden today (flowers, dusty millers, purslane). Sixteen plants to be exact, and I am still not done :shock: ACK! I guess I got carried away-those six packs seem...

Jaxhil

Awwww, thanks :D :shock: new car?! you lucky girl, you!!! VERY COOL-let me know how it goes!! Actually I feel better this morning. I got on the scale, and I've put on less than half a pound-probably not even that. So I am thrilled :P I think my habit of not eating beyond satisfied (for the most part...

Jaxhil

Hi! Sorry I've been away from the computer a lot the last couple of days. I had a good visit w/ my Mom and my Dad (she still needs a chauffeur :P ). My Dad helped Jake finish building the "doghouse" he and his brother started the day before..you should see it, it's sooo ugly it's cute :lol: 8) Boys ...

Jaxhil

Good morning! Sorry I didn't check in yesterday-we had a storm last night and we often lose our internet during storms. I was just trying to log in last night when it started-sigh. Anyway, it was a good day-I managed to get in lots of exercise. Almost an hour of tae-bo (which Gracie helped with-I lo...

Jaxhil

LOL-I used to hide in the bathroom (okay, I still do sometimes :P ). I would lock the door and within 60 seconds I would hear a little voice through the door, or see tiny fingers, arms, toes and feet sticking in under the door-roflol. Actually my 2 youngest still do that :D We have had a very busy d...

Jaxhil

Hi! It's Monday...blah! Hey, I had brownies for my treat this weekend too! I finally made a really good batch from scratch-my previous attempts had me wishing I'd used my old standby box mix from Betty Crocker, lol. This was a new recipe (for me anyway) for Moist Brownies I got from the Fannie Farme...

Jaxhil

You poor baby! I really do know how you feel, I thought when I was going through the same thing that it would never ever end!! And DH was lonely too :P it won't hurt him for a little while :lol: And maybe you could persuade him it would be of benefit to HIM :twisted: if HE got up with the baby-you k...

Jaxhil

Yes, what you say makes perfect sense...I am still fighting my way out, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak 8) I still have trouble with the soda, but the not snacking/no seconds has become second nature, pretty much. Doing okay so far today. I did have some (not much) soda...

Jaxhil

Yah, Tiffani! We did it again

Ditto-I am so thankful you are taking this journey with me

Great job storm fox!! I think a lot of people have that variance pretty regularly. I have a sort of love hate relationship with the scale, depending on what it tells me

Jaxhil

I can relate, girl, but REALLY, you have come SOOOOOO far!!!!!! Plus, your baby isn't even a year old...give yourself a break!! It's HARD to take care of a toddler, a nursing BABY and your husband, and still find time for YOURSELF. Believe me, you HAVE to-otherwise you have nothing to give. I know f...

Jaxhil

I still feel bad, but hanging in there

this really stinks. I can't wait to feel better.

Jaxhil

Our kids each go through the same thing at times. I find it makes a major difference if I make a point of spending *special* time with that child doing something they love to do. Or getting them outside to play and work off some of that energy! Most times it helps; if not usually they are either tir...

Jaxhil

LOL-great story!!

Jaxhil

Hi! My weekend's going well. I didn't overeat MOST of the day yesterday, and had a WONDERFUL meal out alone with hubby at this delicious Mexican restaurant I've been wanting to try. The service was not great but the food was :P Plus kids were with Grandma-yeee-haw!! LOL. I ate four sourdough cinamon...

Jaxhil

I just had to tell you, the sour dough cinnamon rolls just got done and we tried them and OHMYGOODNESS!!! YUMMMMM!!!

lol...I only had 2

so far-I have to give some away so I don't go crazy!

I love homemade goodies-they take a long time but they're soooo worth it.

Have a great day, Tiffani!

Jaxhil

That's really interesting, Reinhard-and it doesn't surprise me a bit :P When I was growing up, we got to have a couple of small cookies when we got home from school, but other than that, no snacks. And we were all thin. What a surprise, huh? LOL. We did have occasional treats-homemade popcorn with a...

Jaxhil

Hooray Tiffani!!!!! That's great, down to 230?! Awesome-i am hangin in there. Still got the YUCKS lol. My sore throat has progressed to a sinus infection, so I've had a MEAN headache the last few days; plus runny nose and dripping sinuses that goes with it. Then just for fun I got a tummyache last n...

Jaxhil

whew! I nearly passed out just READING everything you did yesterday! LOL. But that's good-you can rest today (ha-well maybe a *little* anyway :lol: ) yum, I love marble cake!! YAH for NOAH!!! And for Mommy too :D I can't wait till Gracie gets it, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of diapers (12 years of al...

Jaxhil

Welcome! I think you'll like it here-and I'm sure the girls won't ignore you, lol. Walking with your daughter sounds like fun-I'm sure she'll love having your support! I had to learn to eat a big breakfast too. It does help hold you till lunch, I've found. Btw, I find knitting perfect for distractin...

Jaxhil

benjishi, oh my, all these egg dishes sound *soooo* good! Thanks for the tips!!

I just bought a wok and I am wondering what to use it for first

You gave me some good ideas!

Jaxhil

That is so great, TigerCrane!! Congratulations!! I have been on this since February 28, 2007. I have only lost about three pounds-so "Don't give Up" is my motto 8) But this is the first time in years my scale has said UNDER 170. So even though its a TEENY WEENY bit, I am very happy :D I hope I can s...

Jaxhil

It *will definitely* get easier with time!! Hang in there! Be strong now, it will pay off later, when it will (really, trust me!) get MUCH easier to say no thanks-and actually *mean* it! I felt like my snack cravings would NEVER go away; but overall, they have. I still get them now and then but its ...

Jaxhil

oh, what kind of cake are you making?

Jaxhil

Hi Tiff! Well I got the unusual urge to get on the scale this morning. I have *no* idea why, but I wasn't awake enough to argue with myself, so I got on. And to my *utter* amazement, I've lost about THREE pounds. :shock: hooray!! I know for the eight weeks I've been doing this it ain't much. But its...

Jaxhil

Oh my Tiffani, that's awful!!! I am proud of your hubby for his perfect response. 8) That's what my hubby would say too, and after all, his opinion COUNTS the skinny little teenage know-it-all knows NOTHING!!!! She's RUDE and thats a worse trait than a bit of chub. Thats a HEART and SOUL problem, no...

Jaxhil

Hmmmm...more computer problems? I hope not! I am having PHONE problems. My Mom calls everyday, and everyday my line disconnects her. Usually more than once! It's a long irritating story-suffice to say I can't wait to switch phone companies. When I figure out my cell# I''ll send it to ya; LOL, I neve...

Jaxhil

I agree with zoolina-in fact I read it in a Bob Greene book my sister gave me awhile back. He says it can mess up the accuracy of your scale reading for quite awhile when beginning an exercise program. Reading about the water weight gain associated with beginning to grow new muscle was very encourag...

Jaxhil

I just posted a huge reply and my computer ate it

And I gotta get back to the kids. WAAHHH.

So i will try again later. SIgh. STUPID POS comp.

Jaxhil

How'd your day go? Mine was good-breakfast was 2 extra thin slices of pepperoni pizza leftover from last night's supper; lunch was 2 hot dogs (I know BAAAAAAD!!)(at least the buns had fiber :P ); supper is homemade chicken and black bean tacos-they are oh - so good, and *easy* (my favorite part, lol...

Jaxhil

Jane, welcome!! It sounds like you are doing great! You're first post cracked me up-I can identify!! "After over 20 years of gaining (hating myself) and losing (liking myself) the same 30 pounds over and over and over I am here." "It's no no no until you lose weight and then I explode with a big YES...

Jaxhil

whew! I'm just glad you're back! I figured it was something like that-I didn't want to contemplate that maybe you had *quit*! ACK! I didn't think so 8) Btw-HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! You're still a baby-wait till you hit FORTY -that *really* sucks! LOL. Our computer crashed this past Friday too-Jack ...

Jaxhil

I'm doing okay but lonely

I hope you're ok, Tiffani. I will keep checking in.

Jaxhil

I hear crickets :cry: LOL-I miss ya! Hope everything's okay. I'm muddling through, I would love a snack, but I haven't cheated. Sigh. I hafta find something to do before I do! I am kidding (mostly!) I am sure I won't give in. But tomorrow I'll be parked in front of my refrigerator :lol: Kidding! I'm...

Jaxhil

Thanks for answering that, Didi! I was wondering the same thing

Now I'm wondering what a Blackberry is...aside from the obvious, that is

Hopelessly out of touch,

Jaxhil

hey, where are ya? :) I'm proud, I've already gotten in 55 min on the treadmill (maybe they should call it the *dread* mill? rofl (bad joke, oh well :P ) Mostly walking, but some jogging too. Breakfast was bacon/egg on homemade wheat hamburger bun, and blueberry yogurt. I really can't wait till tomo...

Jaxhil

I am so sorry I have been offline a lot today-I took the kids to the park and brought my mom with us. She hurt her leg a couple wks back and has a bad case of cabin fever. I used a sling for Gracie too-she loved it! I tried with the others but I am short and couldn't find a sling that worked for me....

Jaxhil

ACK! No chocolate?! LOL. I crave sweets AND salt-but it gets better with time. I don't crave either nearly as much as I used to! I would maybe try to reduce portions first, because you're already probably cutting out a significant amount if you're No-Essing. But have what you want on S-days! Thats w...

Jaxhil

LOL-when I was nursing, YES I did get up in the night to eat sometimes!! I mean my growling stomach would have awakened the whole neighborhood! Seems like it did wake up DH now and then. Hehehe. I had forgotten about that, I haven't had that problem in a while! Lunch was a sandwich and pretzels, and...

Jaxhil

LOL! I cut my boys' hair too, and Noah (who's 6) is just now getting to where he can sit reasonably still through the duration, hehehe. I gave all of the boys haircuts last Saturday. That's over for another couple months, lol. And I colored my hair last night. I started going gray very early and now...

Jaxhil

I think Mom did have a good birthday-I made her a knitting bag (she loves to knit!) that my Dad (a wood worker) made wooden handles for. It came out nice! And the cupcakes were good too-of course, lol. How's your day going so far? I haven't eaten yet, I think I'll have an egg sandwich and yogurt for...

Jaxhil

I agree-if it tastes sweet its a sweet! You'll be surprised when you get your first sweet on your s-days, at just HOW sweet they taste!! It's getting to where I can't eat much sweet (as in portion size) because it's just gross if I do! I can't believe I am saying this now, but it's true! A little go...

Jaxhil

Man, *everything* you said, I'm nodding my head, saying, yes, yes, I feel the SAME WAY!!!!! As for how I do it, well, I'm a crazy woman :D LOL-I don't mean to be but I know I am sometimes, more often than I should! And, after you have two, the chaos doesn't really increase too much with additional t...

Jaxhil

Yes, sweetie, I know EXACTLY what you mean-mine get up at the crack of dawn (oh, wait BEFORE the crack of dawn!!) every day. It is very frustrating, how the weight is not plummeting-I know what you mean!! It's not fair. If my DH was doing this he'd probably have lost at least 20 lbs by now-argh. And...

Jaxhil

That's how today has been for me-not a huge quantity for each snacks, but too many *little* ones.

Now my tummy hurts-serves me right! Oh well.

Back to sensibility tomorrow

Jaxhil

You are too funny, I know, I know about the boobs. Really You'd think I could just keep THOSE :lol: First I saw the difference in my shoulders and upper back, too! I see shape there-it's slight, but it's there!-that I haven't seen in a long time. That's great that your ice cream made you nauseous, L...

Jaxhil

Wow, 68 lbs-that is FANTASTIC!! congratulations-maybe *we* could use some tips from *you*!

Jaxhil

LOL-you are too funny! I had 2 homemade chocolate chip cookies (small) for (part of) breakfast-my son had made them last weekend but I only got to have one or two before Monday. I had been looking at them ALLLL week, but resisting! Then this morning the weight (oops-Freudian slip! haha) was over. An...

Jaxhil

Hi and Welcome! I think this will work for anyone, as long as its given the time it takes-it's not fast, but it IS effective! And yes, fruit is absolutely fine-it's not refined sugar which is what is restricted on nos days. It's a healthy choice, and I've read Reinhard (nos inventor) has it most day...

Jaxhil

I am so sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday-it was a crazy busy day. Yes I absolutely think it would be FINE if you have a *healthy* snack while BF. In fact, even a good thing. Your body obviously needs it or you wouldn't be having that starving feeling! Just be 100% honest about whether its re...

Jaxhil

I really know how you feel Karina! (((HUGS)))eta-I'm sorry if I don't have your name right! I'm not seeing results as fast as I'd like either. But try to remember, this weight didn't get put on in a month or two. For me it's taken years :cry: And you may not see the results you'd like before your fa...

Jaxhil

Yes I am there!! I can't believe that when I make it to 150, I'll still have 40 lbs to go :cry: I am wanting food too!! It's like 9am here and i am wanting to eat. Actually mostly I want a nice cold SODA :roll: At least its Friday. I'm seriously wanting to take an S day because its Friday the thirte...

Jaxhil

I think your bike ride sounds like a HECK of a workout-especially mentally, LOL. My legs would be jello after that, too! I had a chicken salad sandwich at my Mom's for lunch and fritos. At least I chopped up celery and put it in-does that count as a veggie, hehe? I *never* do that. But I thought it ...

Jaxhil

Good morning Tiffani! And thanks MerryKat! I agree, it's all the difference to have a buddy in it with you! My Gracie just (few days ago) learned to say "good mornin' " and she just melts my heart-don't you love the way toddler's talk?! When they're not SCREAMINg that is :lol: Any way, I did 45 min ...

Jaxhil

LOL-I know how you feel! I'm a BIG whine-baby, *especially* when I'm tired. I did 45 minutes on the treadmill, doing some jogging, hill climbing and fast walking. Now my shins hurt :roll: Oh well- it WILL be worth it! You will feel really good when you get done!! Try maybe saying you'll get on for a...

Jaxhil

Imagine hunger as slight pains caused by fat melting away

If that doesn't work an ice water usually helps me

Jaxhil

It sounds like you're really doing great!! I am in a similar boat, although I have only been noessing since Feb 28, and I've just started my 3rd set of 21 day cycles, yah! I am experiencing the same thing-I can see my eating is *finally* getting under control. I no longer think about snacking consta...

Jaxhil

HOOORAAAY!! As of yesterday, we made it again! Just wanted to post our second (for me) and third (for Tiffani-shamrockmommy!) set of 21 Days on Habit!! Wow I can't believe we have come so far!! I feel so good! I am really amazed that it is becoming so much easier, just like you said it would, Reinha...

Jaxhil

I'm ready!! Lets' do it! LOL-I was telling Jack last night how well you are doing :) He knows who you are too :lol: Wow, I'm impressed, 3 miles 5x a week plus SEVEN (do you see my eyes bugging out?!) on Sundays??!!! VERY impressive. Hmmm sounds like a goal to work for! Although I am really not sure ...

Jaxhil

Thanks for replying so quickly :) I can't tell you how much it helps to have you to talk to about these things! You have been doing sooo well-I can hear how you've become more at peace and HAPPY from your posts. I don't think we should mess with that, ya know? I think it's the exercise that's gonna ...

Jaxhil

No way!! Are you kidding?! Well I looked at my calendar because I was sure it couldn't have been 3 weeks already-and whaddoyaknow, it IS!!! That went shockingly fast- and easy even! :shock: Very cool 8) Congratulations to us both!! That's great about your friend! Wow, 100 lbs, that's amazing! You kn...

Jaxhil

Ditto! Why not give No-S a try? So many people here have tried every diet in the world and they find them difficult and unrealistic in terms of keeping them up for a lifetime. Say you are lucky enough to succeed (and most, I would venture, aren't for long!)... to keep your success, you really can *n...

Jaxhil

I am glad I read this thread-this is so true of me too!! That's why I love No-S; rules that don't make me a crazy obsessed woman wanting to eat every single item on the don't touch list -in obscene amounts, preferably! :lol: This is (literally) the only"diet" I've EVER managed to follow for more tha...

Jaxhil

LOL-I have been doing better on the not over eating! Yesterday I was *reeeeeeally* hungry by supper! But I didn't cheat, hooray! Today's good so far; potato and egg taco and blueberry yogurt for breakfast; leftover sloppy joe on a homemade wheat bun with (cheetos)-oh, the SHAME!!! *cheetos*?!! I kno...

Jaxhil

Great idea pangelsue! I know what you mean-I made a promise to myself when I started up No-S again to be gentle with myself and forgiving, as I would a friend who had slip ups. This has worked *WONDERS* for me (that, and especially having my wonderful No-s buddy Tiffani -AKA shamrockmommy-to check i...

Jaxhil

I almost always have breakfast, and usually its an egg taco of some sort or maybe homemade high fiber/fruit muffins; I like eggs with my muffins for protein. Or I'll have a shake made with plain yogurt, cottage cheese and fruit. Very filling and I get my fruit in! Today I actually wasn't hungry at b...

Jaxhil

Wow, Tiffani, that is so EXCITING!!!! :D So you've almost gone down TWO SIZES?!!! YAHHHHH!!!! I am so happy for you-you are doing *great*, you deserve it!! How cool that you are now grossed out by your own cake :p LOL I'm kidding, I am sure it was delicious! But I made that chocolate cake a couple o...

Jaxhil

Oh, Reinhard, ewwwww! LOL-I laugh because my kids have done the same thing :p NASTY, hehe. I do hope she's feeling better! Poor baby. I think you did fine too, Karina! My first few weekends were like that too (including the feeling sick all day!) And I am finding as time goes by they are getting MUC...

Jaxhil

Glad you had a good weekend! New car, lucky you!! Ya gotta tell me when you get it! Yes, I *LOVE* avocados-I lived in San Antonio for over twenty years (now just 30 min. north :o) ). The first time I saw guacamole I thought it was truly disgusting :lol: So funny-we moved here from Ohio after I gradu...
