The E-LAB Project

Meece

The cake also expands and slows down digestion, so everyhting stays in there longer.

(Am I making enough justifications?)

sheila888

YES. But I don't like it and its not fair.. Can I just enjoy myself once a month without gaining 3 pounds overnight.

You think time of the day is important too?

Ice cram was a pint I only had 4 heaping Tablespoon.

Meece

I think you can lose a couple of pounds quickly, too.  Don't worry about it.  Just drink your water and eat healthy.  Enjoy it when you do have a treat and don't make yourself feel guilty.

Ainm

Suzwes - LOL have you been peeping at my food diary!!!

Meece - I know I joined fairly early on - was I one of the first fledglings?? 

Incidently I have made the 100lb loss mark!!!!

Sheila - I know exactly how you feel - when I was growing up my sister would eat the chocolate bar and I would put on the weight!!!  But what were you thinking of eating that 3 lb bag of nacho chips!!!

It's really great to celebrate weight lost - but so many friends gained!!!! 

Meece

You sure were, less than seven hours into it.

I have to say, today I dug into a drawer with some pants I bought within a few months of finishing chemo.  I have been wqearing a pair all day and I don't feel like I am gonna pop the seams!!!

sheila888

Thanks. Maybe when I stop the femara in 10 days or so, things will change.

I always drink water almost double amount of 32 oz.

Ainm it was only 3 or 4 ounces not 3 pounds.

Meece

Just thought it might wash the cake out of you system.

sheila888

Can we really wash things out by drinking extra water.

I'm really in a mood for Chinese but probably I shouldn't push it.

Thank You for listening my venting.

Sometimes I really get mad.

♥

Meece

No worries, Seyla. Vent away, it burns calories!

Ainm

Sheila - my captain - it was a joke!!!

Meece

I thought it was, I didn't even know they made 3 pound bags, but it gave me hope!!

suzwes

Birdies, you're doing so well! 

I am so off my routines and really need to buckle down.  I was messing around with one of my meds and have gained some weight because of it but I think I'm at a good dose now (it isn't my Femara - I wouldn't mess with that)!  Hopefully I'll start losing again. 

I just checked and I was one of the first fleglings too!

Glad you all like my diet : )  Wouldn't it be fun if we could really eat like that and get away with it?

Meece

I have the fledgling list on my other computer.  I'll try to remember to post it.

Happy Birthday Ainm - Have a fun day (which is probably almost done for you by now!) and a terrific year.

sheila888

Meece...I went back to page 1 elimar was the first poster.

I was 2nd.

Hi suz.

I miss Nicole.♥

Ainm

Thank you all so much for the Birthday Wishes - I really appreciate it.

bcincolorado

Suzwes I loved the "diet".  I just cracked up and had to read to DH!

Ainm, I hope you had a wonderful birthday!

faithandfifty

Oh, Snap!

Did I miss the birthday party?

AINM!!!!

ONE HUNDRED POUNDS!!!!!!!

I think that calls for bird seed for the whole bird house!!!!!!!

xx00xx00xx00xx

zogo

Don't birds eat 1/2 their weight in food every day?  And hummingbirds....twice their weight.  I'm thinking we are going to need some MORE bird seed (or CAKE)! A lot more!

 

samsue

Ainm, congratulations on the 100 lb loss! Wow you're such an inspiration.

Suzwez  - I followed the diet you suggested, loved the last part of the day the best! Love the chocolate, sticky fingers and all... Not sure how I will do tomorrow with the weigh in.   May have to jog around the block a few times. Does laughing out of the chair count as exercise????

bookart

I've slowed my munching by application of some soul-satisfying creative time.  Still haven't stopped entirely.  Lord only knows what my weigh-in will be like, but each day, a new beginning.  I'll keep trying with all of your help.

MaiTai

I'm loosing it!

Seyla  I so get it.

Apart from the restaurant on Friday, I was a real good kid this week.

Did I loose any weight? NO

Ainm - WOW. Good for you!! I'm so happy to see that it can be done.

Friday check in- 3 points

Same weight - 1 point

Water - 7 points

exercise - 5 points

No extra points for me

Total - 16 points for the Hummingbirds 

Meece

Maybe we need to be moving more to burn those calories!

Valgirl

 Hummingbird checking in this morning:

Friday check in = 3 points

Weight down 1 lb to 146 = 2 points 

Another ELab low = 1 point

Water = 7 points

Exercise = 6 points ( need to do better - you ladies inspire me - I always thought 30 minutes a day was enough ..

Total this week = 19 points 

Heading out of town for a wedding tomorrow - will try to stay away from the wedding cake!  Maybe just a small piece....

Meece

Way to go, Valgirl!  Don't deprive yourself, just use common sense.  If you deprive yourself you will start associating your efforts with the negative aspects only.

Roadrunner here checking in for 3 pts.

Ainm, that's why I had cake yesterday - it was in celebration of your birthday.  No-one told me a slice of carrot cake weighed 2.4 lbs. which is what I gained this week = 0 pts!!!!

Exercise = 11 pts and water = 5pts.  Not even looking for extra credit because I wasn't very good this week.

Weight today 180.4

Total pts for week = 19 pts. 

Oh well, another week starts today - nice that we can start over weekly.
