Hi Beans~

Change takes time, you are moving in the right direction. Down today that is good. I know I need to weigh every day when I don't I usually go up at the weekly weigh in. So tomorrow is your weekly weigh in stick to it today and of course every day. But I find the day before weigh in the hardest. Not sure why, so stay in there and you will love the new you. =)

Thanks Teresa, I am nervous about my official WI day tomorrow, but it is what it is. I have been a little off this week so we'll see....

Hi Beans~
I try not to keep stuff in the house that will bother me and I also try to keep full, because it is when I get hungry that I decide I need to have a little snack and the snack is never healthy. Debbie pointed out to me in the past that if you don't eat enough then you will go for the bad stuff. Just my thoughts. =)

Have a good weigh in tomorrow.

Where did you go?

If you want, you can join us in the MWL forum for our weekly weigh in. We weigh in on Fridays and I post the results on Saturdays. The more the merrier.

Hi Debbie! The handfuls of chips etc come from DH's stash... I'll see if he will be willing to keep snacks out of the house. I currently doing an in between of MWL & reg McD, but once I'm able, I will join you!

WI: 160.4
Down 2 for the week, which is good! I've decided to do the reg McD with mostly MWL. If that's possible. last time I went vegan 6 years ago, not low fat on purpose, and not mcD I went from 155 to 130 in 3 months not even trying to lose weight. Can I do that again or better following mcd!? One would think...

Today's food:
B- oats & berries, coffee w/silk
S- small bowl of all bran strawberry bites w/1/2 c unsweetened almond milk
L- 3 small corn tortillas w/ff refried beans, brown rice w/ salsa yum!
S- handful chips NO MORE!
D- chili beans & b rice w/ lettuce, tomato & salsa
S- wine & juice - done with this too after tonight!!

2 short walks w/dog(15 mins each)

Hi Teresa! Posting in your journal now!

WI: 160.4. Not bad since i had chips & wine last night. Both are gone and no longer in the house or to be bought.

Thanks Debbie! DH agreed that we no longer need junk food as we both stopped drinking, as of today! Wish us luck.... Not that we drank a ton, but we both enjoyed a nightly drink or 2...chips just went with it...
Nuking potatoes hasn't worked for me, until today!! I put them on a plate with some water, then covered with a bowl, nuked 6 mins, came out perfect!!

B- potatoes w/low sodium ketchup
S- handful of nuts & dried fruit, 2 rice cakes w/ pb
L- ww bun w/ mustard & veggies, w/ avocado YUM but not good. I never have avocado & I splurged...
D- ww pita pizza w/mushrooms, tomatoes, tomato paste & oregano
S- cheerios, banana, juice

Okay way too much food (wheat especially) today...


Rest of day unsure. Will update later.

Keeping the junk out of the house will certainly help. =) Looking forward to the good reports. =)

Unsure rest of day, I have appointments and running around to do today. I WILL stay on plan though!

Yesterday was a write off.... I need to get focused again!! I really need to stock my fridge. Going shopping today...

Back later w/ update.

I have found my biggest mistake is to just write off what I have done and say I am starting again. I need to write the good, the bad and the ugly!! =) Other wise before I know it I am not even doing it. Just my thoughts. =)
