OMG I can't believe my last post was in February.

Husband took a long time to get back to his old self after pneumonia. We rebooked out trip to CA for October and at the same price bargain we had. They said as long as we took our trip within a year we would not lose our money. NOW I seriously have ...

Burgher

LA Loser, with all you had going on, I think losing 10 lbs is great. Just that amount makes a big difference.
I have more time to lose my weight for California now but want DH back home where he belongs. Not a fun time for us right now.

Aah, Dallas Cowboys. America's team. We have friends that ...

Burgher

Drat, darn and pish. I just got done cancelling our CA trip. Darling Husband had to go to the hospital last night because he couldn't breath which is nothing new for him because he has COPD but this was different.
He went to the doctor who wanted to call an ambulance to take him to the hospital ...

Burgher

La loser, I like that laaaa looooser.
Thank you so much for being a member of the Steeler Nation, if only for one day. You did it for us. The one cheer we needed to bring it home. I didn't think we were going to win again but I am glad we got one for the other thumb but I still feel bad for the ...

Burgher

Yeah, Same starts with S too. I had such great ambition to lose 10 lbs before our CA trip next Tuesday. I had six weeks to do it but I failed. I am the same weight today as I was on January 1st. I haven't exercised. I know I know...... but I have eaten the S way except I think I am eating too much ...

Burgher

I have been true to NO S diet in a way. No snacks, seconds or sweets except...... but I know that I am eating too much. More so since the new year when I was supposed to be eating less so I can lose at least 10 lbs before our CA trip in Feb. At this rate I will never make it. Ate chocolate covered ...

Burgher

janie, isn't it wonderful that we can celebrate and eat with abandon and afterwards get right back into the program and feel good about it?
What is not so wonderful is depriving ourselves of all the really good food during the holidays and not feel good about it but more like a martyr.

I feel so ...

The weekend went well. My snacks consisted of some pretzels when I had my 2 drinks on Friday and Saturday night. Actually I didn't eat any pretzels on Friday until after midnight so they counted as Saturday.. That is what I usualy do to start the weekend. That was the only snack I ate. No sweets on ...

Burgher

This was a good week as far as eating goes. Still can't get going on exercise. I guess I just don't know where to start. I will get it going one of these days. Gotta start so I can get 21 days in and it will be a habit again.

Burgher

The party is over and now back to business. I really didn't go overboard but did eat some things that I have been keeping away from. Nothing really bad but not diet food either. One thing in particular was my date nut bread with cream cheese that I haven't eaten in more than two years. I ate it for ...

Burgher

Friday night: Took a little break from the computer when Christmas got nearer. Just too busy to take the time. I did the S diet until Xmas eve when I ate and drank too much. Same for Christmas day. I was going to color them red but then I thought it is Christmas and only comes once a year so I ...

Burgher

It's great how I have lost the habit of snacking. Today is Saturday and I ate an apple and some pretzels tonight after dinner but I had to remind myself to eat them. I was perfectly happy and not hungry at the time but I have a hard time working apples into a meal during the week and they sit in the ...

Burgher

I have been checking in often but not taking the time to post. I guess that's because I am not doing anything new except for NO S.
I think I finally have my Christmas shopping done. This is late for me because I buy stuff all year for my family but just didn't see anything this past year that I was ...

Burgher

Today is Wednesday and for some reason I kept wanting to eat between my meals. I expect that on Monday but not on Wednesday. It wasn't that I was hungry, I just wanted to eat fruit or something, anything. But now it's 11PM and I made it.

Blueskighs, we decided to watch Mad Men after it won so may ...

Burgher

The weekend went well. I did eat between meals yesterday and had sample food wa Costco and enjoyed myself but I wonder if it is worth it because today I kept wanting to eat something, anything between meals. Tomorrow I should be back to normal or as normal as I can be.

Blueskighs. We are watching ...

Burgher

I can't believe that I haven't posted all week. Last post was late Sunday night and here it is Thursday night. I have been green all week. But I have been loading my plate. No need for seconds when I have piles of food on my plate. It's all good but still too much. I'll never lose weight that way ...

Burgher

RPM. I like the indoor walking videos/tapes too. I have lots of Leslie Sansones. I haven't done them in awhile because of the side steps. (bothered my hips) But I was thinking of doing them again except not do side steps. Duh, Should have been doing that all along.

Marie

Burgher

blueskighs, I didn't pass the pumpkin pie test today. Just one slice left and altho it was Sunday and I could have it, I went all day green until I was making supper and kept moving it around in the fridge and finally put whipped cream on it and ate it. It was heavenly and done.
So just because of ...

Burgher

rpm, congratulations on reaching 21 days of making a habit and for the weight loss. I am also working on the exercise part. 21 days to make an exercise habit. Marie

Burgher

Blueskighs, Good luck with your experiment....
I have had it drilled in for the last few years that I must eat breakfast, it's bad to skip it because my body need it... blah blah. For years when I was working and not over weight I would have a cigarette (I smoked then)and coffee for breakfast. I ...

Thanksgiving went well. I ate everything I wanted to and it was a very pleasant day. It was DH's 80th birthday so we had Thanksgiving desserts and also birthday cake. No one wanted the cake so we shouldn't have bothered but it was his b day and you have to have a cake for candles and singing etc ...

Burgher

Busy busy busy getting ready for the big turkey day. Shopping and cleaning and more shopping.
It's going to be my S day instead of Saturday.
I have been true to No S but not too true to my exercise. I did Monday but not today. Too busy. I really meant to. Same with the cardio I was supposed to ...

Burgher

Blueskighs, I'm trying to add at least an apple a day to my diet. I love Gala apples and used to eat them as a snack but now have to think of them as part of my meal. Some say they are really good for you. I need them with the skin for fiber.

Did you watch Boston Legal last night? It was a riot.
I ...

Burgher

Janie, Sounds like you are going to have a great Thanksgiving Holiday. Forgetabouttheturkey. Chicago famous Pizza and Portillo hot dogs and a turkey dinner, what is not to love.
Marie

Burgher

It's Monday and was a good day. No snacks. I'm amazed at how I don't miss the snacks. I never would have thought it. The best thing I did today was my weights. AT LAST. Now I have to do my cardio. I'll see what happens tomorrow on my cardio day. It's not going to be a good weather day tomorrow so I ...

Burgher

I'm on page two....I don't know what day it is for me off hand. I'll have to keep track like Blue and Janie and probably lots of others.
I had a good yellow day today. My snack was an apple with 2 slices of Cracker Barrel Chedder Cheese and my seconds were another helping of Broccoli and another ...

Burgher

Janie, I am impressed with you doing a green on a yellow day. I should have done that today. I had to remind myself that I could have a snack and seconds, both of which I did. Altho they were good seconds and snacks.
It never occured to me to not do a yellow when I am allowed.
Congratulations on ...

Burgher

Friday Nov 21 was a good day. Snowy and blowly and cold but otherwise a good day. Had two drinks in the evening and a few pretzels after midnight which I could have done without but ate them anyway.

Saturday today and I can snack but so far I haven't except for the pretzels after midnight last ...

Shopping today at Costco and Sams and lunch was at Costco . Can't beat their 1.50 hot dog with drink, got sauerkraut on the side. DH got the frozen yogurt which we usually share but I didn't. This is about the third time that I didn't . (not that I am counting). I can do the three S's with no ...

Thursday. I didn't post or even get on the internet due to trying to download the Anti Virus program from FIOS prior to them installing the FIOS bundle. I was on the phone from 3 until 8 with various agents. It's still not on so I downloaded AVG free just so I have some protection.
Other than that ...

Burgher

Janie, I agree that it is the most wonderful ''proud of me day" when it comes to the end and you have eaten the S way "all the way". There should be another color on the calendar for the really really successful days.
Keep on keeping on,
Marie

Tuesday, lunch day with our friends. Mel asked me how I am doing with my new diet and I had to tell her that I had lost only three pounds last time I weighed but I put my scale out of sight so I don't know. I'm pretty sure that the scale is stuck at the same place it was when I last weighed. I'm ...

Burgher

It's so darn cold today and snowy and cold and gray and cold. I knew it was just a matter of time before we got winter weather but it's still hard to take. We have had marvelous weather all fall.
That's my weather report and the refs are in trouble for bad game calling with our Steelers. I think if ...

Burgher

Sunday, Crossword puzzles and football. Steelers won but just barely. Ha we are in the record book now for the first score of 10 for loser and 11 for the winner (us) Missed lunch today because we had to go to a funeral home quite far away and got caught in so much traffic and tie ups that we couldn ...

Burgher

Where does the time go? My last posting was on Thursday Night but it looked like Friday. I think the time is confused because of daylight saving time on and off. Anyway. Friday I was successful with my eating and today is Saturday and I have been having a good day so far. Some snacks but not too ...

Burgher

Today I ate too much. I didn't eat between meals but I ate too much at my meals and I knew it because I was full half way thru but I just kept eating. Gotta stop that if I want to lose weight.
Breakfast was eggs and salsa, juice coffee and milk
Lunch was our favorite Italian Rest because we can't ...

Burgher

Today was good. Ate successfully. Today was bad. didn't exercise yet. I know what the problem is: It's that I used to exercise from 4 to 5 when DH took his daily nap. But now I have to pick up grandson from school and take grand daughter to Swimming. She is on a swim team and swims 6 days a week for ...

Burgher

Success (pretend that is green) Tuesday is when we meet our old friends for lunch. They chose a place that I had heard was not very good anymore and what I heard was right. On well, now we know never go back. Soon they will be belly up and wonder why. Can't charge big prices for bad food and bad ...

Burgher

Reinhard, Thanks for the encouragement. I am reading your book now and underlining what is helpful for me. Something I can't do on the internet.
I think that posting the alternate names for the diet would be enjoyable to read. There is a lot of enjoyable reading here. I like to read what others are ...

Burgher

Today was a success day. Wanted to eat between meals tho. I think because I did yesterday and it was harder to not do it today and we
ate in. DH didn't want the left over meat patties so I guess they are mine to eat. Today we tried the frozen country fried steaks they sell at Sams and they are ...

Today was our stay home day. Watched the Sunday Morning show on CBS and then football for the rest of the day.

Saved reading the 21 club until I had my 21 days in. I counted today and I am 27, hope I did it right in counting all the days including the S days. I just mentioned in my posting today that I forgot to snack. I think that is a great accomplishment. I forgot last Saturday too. I think that I have ...

Thanks for your encouragement Janie. You are doing very well yourself and I do check it on you every day.

I quit using my scale weekly. I had put it away when I did South Beach but dragged it out again after I gained 10 lbs. Now I put it away again. I can see that this is a slow diet and I don't ...

It was a good day today. Spring in November, it was so warm out. High sixties I think. Had lunch at Cracker Barrel and I had their Country fried steak, carrots, broccoli, green beans. It all fit on the plate and I ate it and it was a lot. I was reading in the book today not to eat too much and I did ...

I forgot to post yesterday. By the time I remembered it was after midnight so I just went to bed. Fell asleep, woke up in a hour and couldn't go back to sleep. Happens quite often.

Janie, Thanks for caring. I hurt my back in the early 80's and had an operation for a herniated disk, simply because I couldn't take the time off from work for bed rest which they used to recommend. Now they tell you to keep moving. Every once in a while I get the back problem or knee problems (old ...

Janie, I doubt very much if you would ever quit this way of eating. You are a solid Eser and give so much encouragement to everyone in this forum.
