<p>Tonight the kids have asked for Breakfast, so I'm going to be making my version of huevos rancheros, grilled mushrooms, and I'm going to try a recipe for cream cheese pancakes.</p>

I found this recipe one day while having a craving for pancakes. By the time I found the recipe the feeling had passed so I have not tried the recipe but it sure does look good! Here's the link

So I did it. I booked my trip to Disney World today. This is my reward to myself for working hard this year. Last time I was there was 3 years ago and I could barely fit on the rides and I wasn't even at my heaviest. This year I'm going to have room to spare! And maybe I'll blend in on the photos that they take during the rides. Last time it was like where's Waldo in reverse. I'm also going to try to reach my original goal (145) by the time I go. So I have 9lbs to lose before April. I'm nervous about the food choices there. I know Disney is very accommodating and there are salads and stuff but had anyone been since surgery and what was ur experience with the food? Can't wait for April!!

Bowl of very spicy chili! Perfect on a freezing day.

Spicy chili for me tonite! I whipped up a batch this afternoon - it's Hubby's favorite. :-)

And what's up with this crazy weather? Single digits all last week, 42 yesterday, teens today, supposed to be forties tomorrow, then back to frigid weather for the rest of the week! :-p. On the plus side, January is almost over - on to short February! :-)

I completely agree this is the weirdest weather I've seen in a long time. I heard that ugly four letter word (snow) on Tuesday too. Can wait for beach weather!!

155.8. 20lbs left til my goal but the scale hasn't moved in over a month. I'm going crazy!!!

Omg I thought I was the only one!! I was freaking out earlier this week cause I haven't lost anything in over a month. I thought it was cause I was cheating a bit but I've been bouncing between the same 6 lbs for what seems like forever. Thank god I'm not the only one!! Makes me feel so much better. I was getting depressed thinking I was screwing up or sabotaging myself. Fingers crossed that the scale moves for all of us really soon! I've got 20lbs left

Yall need to get ya some of this<br> 5 carbs 22 grams Protein and it taste good. A tad heated but thats good for the metabolism

I wish I could fine Adkins meals around here. It would be so much easier cause i only cook for myself.

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement! I think I just needed to get out the doubts that I was having about whether or not I would succeed at this. But I realized that I'm the only one responsible whether I succeed or fail and I am NOT going to fail! I am DONE eating crap. That's how I got big in the first place. If we go out to lunch at work, no more pizza, SALAD! I cleaned out my snack drawer and gave all my chocolate away to my coworkers. sugar free Chocolate only! I feel empowered again like when I first had my surgery. I got this! food has got nothing on me. 3 or 4 meals a day, all protein! I am not going to give in anymore! I am stronger then this. I've also realized that I need to start attending my support groups and start logging my food again. I need the support. As much as I want to, I cannot do this alone. You guys definitely help in the support department. Thanks again for all your advice!

PS It's good to see you on the boards again Tiny! You were missed!

... It's a lifestyle. I have been so depressed lately and I can't seem to shake it. I don't feel like I have anyone to talk to about it because everyone just sees my weight loss and thinks I'm doing so well or "what would she have to complain about?" I have been eating crap like pizza and chocolate since before the holidays. I haven't really lost any weight ( I've been bouncing between the same 6lbs for the past month or so). I literally have not done one bit of exercise since I've had this surgery. Sometimes I eat so much that I feel like my stomach is going to explode. I don't know why I'm doing this to myself. I am happy with my weight loss but the only way I know that I've lost any weight is when someone says that I look skinny. I don't see it at all. I don't know what to do and I'm really upset about it. I just can't seem to stop sabotaging myself. I have 20lbs left to my goal and can't picture myself reaching my goal or even maintaining my weight loss if I keep going the way I'm going. Someone please help me. I'm so lost right now.

Ones anyone know what kind of over the counter cold meds we can take? I feel a sinus infection coming on and I'd like to nip it in the butt before I have to go on antibiotics.

Just found this on the chive. KCCO!!!

Here you go!!

156.4. I was at 155.8 on Tuesday but I ate a lot of candy. I can't seem to get back on track since the holidays. Everyday I wake up in the morning all gung-Ho to eat right, but by the the end of the day I've had candy and pizza and a lot of other things I shouldn't be having. I know it's ok to cheat once in a while but when it's every day, it's not cheating anymore. It's just crappy eating.

This is the first Christmas EVER that I didn't gain so much as a single ounce! I weigh exactly as much today as I did Tuesday. I made it through both Thanksgiving and Christmas w/o any trouble, aside from the pecans that made me sick last night. :-)

I wish I could say the same. I admit I went bananas over the past 2 days and ate a lot of things I shouldn't have. I tried to detox off sugar today and made it through about half the day. I caved and had a piece of chocolate. I need to get back on track. I didn't really gain but I certainly didn't lose anything. I am a sugar and carb addict and I need to stay away from them.

159. I've been stalled for a while and I got my period. Booooo! But I dropped down about 2lbs today. Yayyyy!!

I go on the chocolate Covered Katie blog. She's a vegan but she has different ways to make treats with different flours and sugars. I've made a few things and they were really good. I want to try the chocolate chip cookie dough dip. Yum!

Just tried leftover Swedish meatballs thinking the gravy might help get them down. Nope! I feel like I swallowed rocks. Ugh. I think I might make myself throw up. This sucks.

162.2. I'm so happy I'm out of my stall

I'm typically around 30 carbs per day. Lately I've thrown caution to the wind though and have been eating sugar. Unfortunately I don't dump and sugar is so tempting. I have an appt tomorrow with my nut so I'm going to ask her how many carbs I should be having a day. I need to get back on track and not eat sugar anymore. It's my kryptonite.

I have officially learned my lesson with eggs. I made one scrambled egg with cheese tonight. About half way through it I had to run to the bathroom. It didn't get stuck, it almost left like a stomach flu. Made me super nauseous. Anyone else have issues with eggs?

164.5!! Lost two lbs on thanksgiving. How did that happen??? My goal was 145 at first. Then it went to 140, now I think I'm going to drop it to 135. So less then 30 lbs to my goal!!

I lost weight thanksgiving week!! I was down 1.5 lbs this morning. Grant it I cooked for thirty people but I ate what I wanted just in my 'fun sized' portions. That's what my nephew says about me that everything is fun sized. being 5'2" in a family where everyone is over 6' is interesting. My weight loss has certainly slowed but gosh if I can just keep it moving it will be good. Oh did I mention I wore size 12 petite (not womens) jeans at dinner yesterday? Im so thankful for this surgery!!!

Omg I lost 2lbs!!! Crazy!! I don't get it. Maybe it's the carbs that I had in the pie and pumpkin roll. So strange but I'll take it. Congrats on ur loss!!

My nut say no to gummies. They have no Iron in them so you would have to take that separately.

Does anyone have any trouble with eating leftover meats that are reheated? I can't eat them for the life of me. Even in Soup I have an issue. And with me only cooking for myself, it makes it really difficult. If I don't cook something every night then I usually just have a Protein Shake. No leftover turkey for me. =(

Sooooooo I had pie..... And pumpkin roll.......... I feel guilty. I wish I dumped cause that would prevent me from eating it. Nothing but Protein Shakes and yogurt for the next two days. Then I have thanksgiving at my dads. Ugh... More food.

Happy Thanksgiving all!! I'm thankful that it's just me and my mom today and it won't be a day of marathon eating. We're going to see hunger games at the movies instead. Kind of ironic. Lol
