That's encouraging!...Thanks!

I also mix it up too...Yogi Tea is my favorite then Traditional Medicinals. My favorite green tea company is Mountain Spring. I got into herbal teas because I don't want to drink coffee. Down to a small half-caff a day.

Don't pay any attention to those. Your body fat percentage is what counts.

[mainepatsfan]

What kind of sandwich? I go with the six inch ham on wheat.

[mainepatsfan]

That means you built some muscle which is great.

I get the ham or turkey with skimpy mayo and skimpy yellow mustard but heaped with all the other freebies. I generally get the foot long and eat half when I get home and the other half the next day at work. It is my tradition to get a bag of original flavor Sun Chips. Even though it is part of the "meal" I rarely ever get a cup of pop because I hate to carry it. I like their wheat bread pretty good. Publix has good subs, too.

[mainepatsfan]

I load up with everything except for lettuce and olives.

I basically end up with a big salad on a piece of bread!

[conservativebabe]

Not so good lately. We have been battling a stomach virus in our house. YUK!

[mainepatsfan]

It's quick, convenient and it fills me up. Heck it's worth the same amount of WW points as a dinky McDonald's hamburger.

[A knight without armor]

That is so true. I'm stuffed with a 6 inch hunk and I feel like I have really EATEN something. It really IS just a big salad on a piece of bread!

[mainepatsfan]

That fiber really does fill one up.

[A knight without armor]

Yes it does. Speaking of fiber it is almost time for American Idol.

I hate running as much as the next person, but there is a ton of nutrition, fitness, and motivational information.

And I am proud to report that I lost another 1.4 pounds tonight making my new total....39.2 pounds!!

[retrokitten]

I am with you. I'm a total chip-a-holic. No chips are safe with me around.

[mainepatsfan]

Yup. The light Doritos don't help because I'll still eat them all.

[Millee]

Well, that's one way to lose weight. :op

Hope the babe family is up & running soon!

[Taffini]

wow, I'm really happy that the Laz Man has picked up the thread... our mentor...our muse...our laz-man...

I've lost 37 lbs on the "Pie and Burrito" diet. Not kidding. I use "Stockton Sugarless Pie filling" for breakfast and desert and make burritos with loads of vegetables and some meat and cheese. Reduces the load of carbs I've been eating after I eliminated bread from my diet. I'm not able to break past 197 right now, but at that weight there's not much fat left and I'd have to lose muscle. Still, less than 3 months. I think the key thing is the bread, Glutens just don't agree with my family. I truly believe that many of Northern European descent may find similar success with this approach. I also recomment "The Zone" by Dr. Sears for more information on a safe low-carb meal regiment.

Good luck all.
