Peanut Butter, Donuts...I will admit to complete addiction...so I think I will leave the PB life through you

I am out of tuna...the l and g for tomorrow will be interesting. I just realized that you can have cottage cheese, I really like that as well 1/2 cup with a SF jello sounds good as a treat. Meanwhile I need to go post in my journal. See ya in the morning Rodeo, another day in the bag!

I can have cottage cheese???? Nobody told me that! Whoo-hoo! Where do you find the PB2 stuff? I am thinking mixing that in with the chocolate pudding would be super yummy.

These are links to great resources for your lean and green options! I can't survive a trip to the grocery store without these lists with me.

Okay now I want to have my steak and eat it too...not really, but I am having trouble, help wrapping my head around this, if someone can assist with brain power would be great.

Would 3 oz tuna canned, 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 2 cups salad mix be cosistant with a good lean and green? How would I have to adjust to get an egg in.

Wow I am excited, could have floored me on the 12 oz of cottage cheese!

Thanks Rodeo...

Today I have no tuna or cottage cheese, so I am going to have a meatball in my salad...I do make great meatballs...

Anyone else having a hard time getting the meatless options pdf file to come up? I gave my copy to my daughter and I need another, but I can't get it up.

Meatless Options

MMmmmmm..... peanut butter. I personally prefer chunky to creamy, but most of my friends prefer creamy.

Great job so far with the restart! Good luck!

[rodeomom]

Now that I am two weeks in to a solid restart, I have decided to get back to my journal. I have gained all that I lost and then some, ALL my fault -- I do not blame any of the weight gain on any part of the program. I returned to my old lifestyle and got the same results I got when I lived it before MF. I know that I cannot go back there. Learning that lesson has taken a very long time, but I believe I have finally gotten the message.

My new start weight is an embarrassing all-time-high of 330. Official start date is February 18th and as of March 1st I weighed 324. My short-term goal is to be below 300 by Easter.

That"ll do it for now. Looking forward to giving and receiving lots of support in the year ahead.

Hello, again. HEy, at least you know what works and doesn't for you. I read that Walden Farms makes Peanut Butter. Maybe you can check that out. I haven't had it, but I kind of like their other things, with the exception of a few of the items. Wishing you luck!!

Hi there! I'm sorry to read about the weight regain, but congratulations on the solid 2 weeks back on program.

[rodeomom]

"Live and learn" is all I can say about the weight re-gain. I had gained freedom by moving out of my parents' house and made bad choices while enjoying that freedom. Now that I have that all out of my system I am ready to make permanent changes. TSFL is the first of many changes I plan to make.

I gave blood yesterday - not a good idea while in the fat burning stage. I was feeling super run-down and ate a trail mix of nuts and raisins. Totally off program, I know, but nothing I did that was "legal" helped. Today I got right back into things and had a Cappuccino for breakfast and Parm cheese puff for meal #2. I can do this. Last time I was 100% complaint I averaged a pound a day. I know this works and I want it now more than ever.

I don't have any "fat" summer clothes and I am not going to buy any. I have to lose enough to get back into what I have - that is all there is to it. I have nice, super-cute clothing and I refuse to buy anymore fat clothes. It is gonna happen for me this time.

hey brenda! wanted to welcome you back to the boards. As you can see, a few of us came back for the same reason... we needed the support to get off the weight that was creeping back upon us lol! Wishing you the best!

[rodeomom]

I weigh at my doctor's office for a more accurate reading so I only weigh once a week. Last week's loss was 3 pounds - down to 321. I was not fully on plan all week so I am counting my blessings. Been OP so far since Sunday so hoping for better losses in the coming days.

Got off to a rough start today, but got on track and back in the game. I have to have yet another ankle surgery - this time to replace my Achilles tendon (which they should have done in '07, but I am not bitter). I refuse to go off the program to accommodate the surgery so I plan to just listen to my body and add a shake or something to make up for the healing. That surgery isn't scheduled yet, but I am aiming for the end of the month so that my niece can stay with me during her spring break. Deanna is in school 8am - 3pm so she won't be able to help much. I don't mind her not being available since she is on track to being a vet tech. She has had such a rough time deciding what to do since graduation last year and I am so proud to see that she is on the road to working with animals like she always hoped to. Anyway, back from that tangent..... I hope to lose as much as possible this month to make recovery easier. Even the thought of being 300+ pounds and on crutches makes me sick.

I am sooooooo happy about the addition of the BROWNIES!!! OMG they are soooo great!!! Best thing to happen to MF EVER! I think they are even better than most of the bars. I like to cook em just shy of done and enjoy that "mushy" middle. Y-U-M-M-Y in my tummy.

Oh - eh - to the powers that be..... I need to be reduced to the 10 pound club That is just disgusting to me, but I will wear that badge with a mix of pride and shame until I can return to the seat I once occupied in the 80# club.
