NM how do the snow shoes work? Do they keep you on top of the snow? It sounds like a real workout!

Too funny, chabba. LOL

The snow shoes do keep me on top of the snow, even though they sink in a little bit.  Have to take higher steps to clear the snow, and walk with a little bit wider stance.  It's a real work out, alright, I was wearing a t-shirt and zip uo hoody over jeans and was comfortable despite the temps in the 20's.  I'm getting ready to go and do it again just as soon as I get caught up on the boards!

Half an hour of wandering in the woods on the snow shoes!  So beautiful, and so much fun!  Only came in because my feet were getting cold.  Gotta get me some better boots.  The current ones are only 4 years old. . .

Deborye. The way I understanding of scoring on weight.....

We get no points if you've gained since the previous Fri.

You get 1 point if you've maintained the same as last Fri.

You get 2 points if you've lost any amount of weight since last week: no matter how much -- from 2 tenths of a pound to 20 pounds. If you've "lost" you get two points.

When you reach an all time new lowest ELAB weight (no matter how much lower) you get a total of 3 points: 2 points for loss + 1 additional for all time low = 3 total points for ELAB low.

Since I thought you'd reached an ELAB low, I already have given you 3 points in that category.

Hope this makes sense. This is my understanding, anyway.

OK, so I got 2 pts.

I agree with Meece and suzwes.

Good Morning

I heard that too Meece.

What food beside eggs provides protein for breakfast.

I agree with Meece and Sheila - I have heard that many times. Breakfast starts the metabolism going for the day so your body burns calories more efficiently if you feed it breakfast.  I find that works very well for me too.

Other protein breakfast foods are peanut butter, toast with almond butter, I frequently have raisin bran, it has 4 g of protein and fiber.  Anyone else have ideas?

I will do some studying later.

Now its coffee time.

Breakfast... the most important meal of the day and yet I have a hard time eating in the am as well.  Here is what I do:

I love steel oats for breakfast, filling and hearty!  I have discovered a quick fix for steel oats as well:  mix 1/2 cup steel oats, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water in a glass bowl and let it sit for 20+ minutes (usually while I am getting ready).  Throw in some dried cranberries/raisins and microwave for 2 - 2 1/2 minutes.  Instant oatmeal with out all the crap that you find in the instant mixes.   A little pat of butter and some truvia/agave and  yumm! Some mornings I just throw the oats and liquid in a Tupperware container and bring to work to make there if I am running late (I have a glass bowl at the office for cooking). 

On the weekend I'll make a quiche or two (different varities [spinach, peppers, onion and cheese], [Mexican w/ black beans, peppers, corn and cheese],  etc...with or without crust). All you have to do is slice and heat and there you have another quick and yummy breakfast...for those of you living alone, you can make crustless mini quiches in muffin pans and make a variety at a time to freeze and heat up.  perfect portion control and easy

O2B, that sounds like a great idea...do you have a website for recipes?
