I’m at 68 ounces right now, was unplugged all morning and am having roast and veggies for dinner. I had a shake for breakfast at home (didn’t take it in the car with me to the grocery store). Lunch was a turkey and provolone “sandwich” on two of my cream cheese/egg pancakes. These are working out really well as a bread substitute.

Today has been busy! I literally didn’t sit down from the time I got up before 6 AM until I sat down to eat lunch at 1. Except for in the car driving to and from the grocery store. Housework mostly caught up. Meal prep for the week as done as can be done.

Steps are done for the day (actually I’m about 7,500 steps over goal)

Breakfast was a…[Read more]

Nikki & I were just saying today that one of our easiest fast meals is deli meat & cheese rolled up with a pickle, bell pepper, or cucumber! Another short cut I use is a rotisserie chicken without the skin.  I add a little Rao’s marinara sauce and cheese, or throw it in a salad and voila!

Welcome!  I also sit (and talk on the phone) for a living, which is ironic given that I’m a total introvert.  I’m in the other Washington (Seattle).  Glad you’re here 🙂

And the water is definitely becoming more habitual!   40 oz. so far, and food is all home prepped today.

BTW, what’s the July challenge?

Welcome! We seem to have a lot of evening action here in the FNC so I’m sure others will log on and say hi as well.

I’m glad you’re here.

Woot! Sounds like a good plan.

Let us know when you figure out what your exercise will be and if you need help staying accountable. 🙂

Hi, Lissa and welcome to the family! This is a great place to be! I’m Robin and am 2.5 years post-op RNY and am also trying to lose that last 25 pounds!

40 is just a fond memory for me (I’m 61),but I do have a 36 year old daughter who is a social worker in Boston. I live in Hewitt, TX just a hair south of Waco where we’re already having temps in…

Please let us know how that goes! I’m interested to hear what they tell you.

I can’t speak for anyone else but for me it’s  necessity. I feed myself + four other grown people so food goes quickly! When cooking for myself I usually make two things. My kids are in charge of Taco Tuesday. And then we always have at least one “wing it” night (which this week will be when we make “zushi”).

I think it’s probably pretty…[Read more]

Almost forgot to report today. Had 60 ounces, unplugged several hours, ate over an hour ago. Will post plan tomorrow

I don’t know how some people make different meals for each day – that sounds like so much work!  Luckily, I’m very content with eating the same thing several days in a row.  The heat this weekend is getting to me…it hit 95 here.  Trust and believe that I know that sounds whiny, but Seattle has NO AIR CONDITIONING!  Most of the businesses don…[Read more]

Some of the meals I have planned for the week are :

Breakfast – shakes, cottage cheese with fruit or peanut butter in it, eggs (most likely omelets)

Lunch – leftover roast and veggies, sandwiches made with my grocery…[Read more]
