  2. Smoothie King - Bad

    · Randi · 08/17/2012 15:54

    OK - so I went to Smoothie King and they have this category of smoothies called Trim Down and I thought - GREAT!! A strawberry banana smoothie with extra protein will be great for breakfast. Until I got to work and went on their website and saw it had 84 carbs. Are you kidding me? How can that be categorized as a slim down anything???
     
    Off to the garbage it went. It was soooo yummy, but that many carbs? No way!!!

  3. Feeling Blue

    · Randi · 08/13/2012 14:45

    Did not have a good weekend - suffering from normal people food withdrawals again. My husband wants to have date night tomorrow night which means I get to go out and have 4 bites and watch him eat an entire meal. I ate badly over the weekend, fritos and artichoke dip while watching the Seahawks win their first pre-season game. Don't forget the wine that went along with that. And, yep, gained 2 pounds since last week.
     
    I'm mad at myself and was a cranky b***h all weekend. I know - get back on the horse and do better today and tomorrow and so on and so on. I'm thrilled with my weight loss, but am thinking that I'm missing out on things. Right, the things that got me overweight in the first place.
     
    I hope somebody else out there can relate.
  4. So I am down about 52 pounds after 3 1/2 months. Down from a 22/24 to a size 18W. I think it's amazing how people everywhere are treating me differently. Maybe it's me who is so much happier and that brings positive feedback, I don't know. People at work, stores, everywhere - I can't believe it. Are any of ya'll experiencing this?
  5. OK - I'm just over 3 months out and happy with my 48 pound weight loss. I work a lot and am getting tired of yogurt for breakfast, fruit for snacks, mostly soup for lunch and eating a tiny portion of what I cook for my husband at night. Is eating 1/2 cup of canned soup a criminal act? How about mac and cheese?
     
    I can only buy so many vegies before they go bad as my hubby eats very few. I make a regular meal about once a week and then have left-overs but usually end up throwing part of it away.
     
    Lean Cuisines and similar items seem to be too much of a serving - seems wasteful to me as well.
     
    I love the people who make their bento boxes and tiny little egg treats and freeze them but I just don't have the time.
     
    Is there anybody else out there like me?
  6. Hello everybody,
     
    I had my pre-op yesterday and was told that because my liver was too big I had to be on a liquid diet for TWO weeks, not just one. I've had 2 protein shakes today and am starving. How long does it take to get used to this????
