Thank you so much for checking in on me! I totally needed it.

I am doing much, much better.  Still a touch higher than I’d like, but drastically cut down…..and my dinners/evenings are carb free, so that’s a total plus!  He’s a tough bugger, to be sure.  I have been craving German chocolate cake from this hole-in-the-wall diner a few miles fr…[Read more]

Love this idea!

While I’m not super active, I wouldn’t be devastated if the chat function here were nixed. As noted, we have the support calls, these forums, and Facebook.

Thank you, Nikki!  I totally have worked out what I’ll be eating. I was at a bit of a disadvantage because last night’s dinner sucked, so I didn’t have lunch today……so I went to Taco Tuesday, and had two tacos ~40 carbs, plus 22 carbs for my snack.  I’m still in my carb range I set for myself…barely.  It’s going to be a higher day, but st…[Read more]

You made me smile!!

I get it. I do….It’s the sense of belonging, connection, and 2MM changes.

Thank you!!

I AM here because of the email Nikki sent! I was considering cancelling my membership since I wasn’t using it; however, I realize that it’s because I’m hiding. Soooo, with that said, today I will get at least 64 oz of fluid and use one of the yoga programs I’ve purchased over the years to start re-introducing movement into my life.

Today, so…[Read more]

You need to be a Prime Member.  It’s $14.95 per month, and as long as you order $40 worth of groceries, the $9.99 delivery charge is waived. I don’t have anything delivered unless I spend at least $40.  The meat is on the expensive side.  Most other things are almost as good as or better than the grocery store.  They have organics or reg…[Read more]

I plan out my dinners for the week and use Amazon Fresh to have the ingredients delivered (It’s SO COOL and most of the prices are on point with my local stores!).  My lunches are a portion of dinner from the night before.  Breakfast is always a protein coffee shake.  I am also addicted to my pressure cooker – WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE LI…[Read more]

I got ALL my water in – Thank you for the reminder about the app, Nikki. 🙂

As for my warmth towards my husband…..erm…. I’m working on it. I * did * apologize to him this morning. So, there’s that.

Thank you for the reminder! I forgot that I have a similar app!  Just re-installed it.

See, this is why you get paid the big bux. 😉

I am really considering getting that ULLA thingie that lights up my water vessel to remind me to drink.  I can’t just chug my water to get it all in (which defeats the purpose anyway because all you do pee out anything you don’t absorb)….and I’m really sucking wind….waking up PARCHED. Yikes!

I haven’t done so hot, so far, on being…[Read more]

I am always, always hungry unless I eat LCHF (low carb, high fat).  (I have my doctor’s blessing.)  I need the fat for satiety.  I was starving (like wanting to gnaw my own arm off) and eating over 800 calories right after surgery (again, working closely with my doctor).  As a result of my VSG, I have extreme GERD, which manifests as hunger now…[Read more]

Today, I’ve had my protein shake.  Lunch will be rotisserie chicken.  Dinner will be tuna melts on oopsie bread.  I’ve had a few more carbs the last few days than I typically like to take in….soooo, I need to cut back down.

Today I will get my 64 ounces of fluid in and keep my carbs to less than 20.

Actually, great question! I would say for me, that logically, it should be size….but, manomanoman – I watch those numbers on the scale….even if my size doesn’t change, a slight change on the scale up or down can make or break my day.  Really need to work on that mindset….
