151for me. I will keep trying.
134 again. I'll try harder this week.
157 :) it's going in the right direction
I was going to post a couple of ideas /recipes for a less diasastrous Thanksgiving- maybe this should go into the nutrition thread? Anyway- here they are:
1. Serve pumpkin pudding instead of pumpkin pie:
Make the pie filling following your favorite recipe, and bake it without a crust.
Even better, use nonfat evaporated milk. If you're really serious, swap out the sugar in the recipe for a sugar substitute.
Use cool whip or a light whipped cream
2 . Skip the candied sweet potatoes with marshmallows- this is a little lighter:
Microwave 3-4 med-large sweet potatoes, then mash them and stir in
3/4 cup plain yogurt
Peel and cut into chunks or slices: One tart green apple. Arrange pieces on the bottom of baking or casserole dish.
Mix 2 Tablespoons brown sugar with enough brandy or whiskey to "melt" the brown sugar. Mix in about 1/2 cup pecan pieces or halves. Soak for 15 minutes.
Spoon or pour the sweet potato & yogurt mixture over the apples, then spread the brown-sugar / pecan mixture over the top.
Cover and bake in an oven or heat in a microwave
3. Instead of the really high cal green bean casserole,
Steam or microwave green beans. Add a few lightly sauteed mushrooms or onions, and top with a sprinkling of almonds for crunch
4. Cranberry juice spritzers, dilute about with about half sparkling water.
Those are a few things we do. Anyone else?
Sorry I'm a bit late reporting. Weighed in at 212.6 this week. No improvement but not surprising having been out of the gym for the week with a bad cold. On the mend now and itching to get back in shape.
158.8. Here is the thing, I haven't been an angel this week, but this is a crazy gain. I did get a new scale.....:rolleyes:
154.5 - what a gain ! I don't do anything different though - only expecting menstruation soon. I guess that might explain the gain.
Still hanging in there: 231.4 this morning.
Lots of traveling the last couple of weeks, sad stuff going on, but I'm hanging in there.

I forgot to report in this weekend! Was at 167.0 even.
Sorry to be so late!
Haven't been near a scale all week.
And I don't want to know! :eek:
156.6! Woot!
I am soooo happy that I wasn't a total train wreck yesterday! I ate a very small amount of everything and left the table satisfied and not ready to burst!!!
My DH and I rode 24 miles in the morning, so we pre-burned a few of the calories before eating them last night at the Thanksgiving dinner.
122.7 (happily less than last week despite indulging last night)
135... wrong direction! UGH.
Not too good this week. Up to 213.2. I guess the lack of excercise due to this nasty cold has taken it's toll.
