Lisa in NY (20 lbs. lost so far)

Postby Lisa in NY » September 26th, 2005, 12:24 pm

Well, I thought I would let everyone put a face to my name - so here's a picture of me and my youngest brother Rocco, at the San Gennaro Festival in NYC this past weekend. Rocco is in the process of eating a "mozzareppa", which is a newly invented fatteningly delicious (probably) food - basically it's like a mozarella stick in the shape of a pancake. It really didn't even tempt me - all I could think of was the grease - and I had my MF shakes, etc. so I was satisfied.

Image

Second pic is just me - and yes, I survived the day WITHOUT cheating at all - I just planned exactly what time, etc. I was going to have my MF shakes. We had to get back on our bus at 5:45 so we ate around 3:30 (my L&G was veal and peppers--only ate half the veal cuz I wasn't sure I should be eating it, but it was the best choice on the menu), told them to leave the pasta OUT and give me a salad instead. Restaurant people, I have found, are usually happy to comply with special requests - you just can't be afraid to be a little agressive. Anyway, we had a wonderful time and I actually came home and got up the next morning and lost another pound! Total is now 21 !

Image

I never would hae been able to survive an Italian festival without eating all that good/bad stuff in the past, but I just kept telling myself that it will all still be there when I'm ready to have it again but right now, MF is my "medicine" and everything else is "anti-medicine" ! :-P

Donna and Joyce,

Thank you - the truth is YOU are all my inspiration! I know it takes a real determination and commitment on our own parts to even begin a program like this - but the support of this board is what keeps us all going. I get more out of this board than I did at the 25,436 Weight Watchers meetings I sat through!

Lisa

(I made up that number but it's probably not far from the truth!)

Lisa, You're looking good girl. I'm going to enjoy watching you shrink away. Hang in there, you're doing a great job. It will all be worth it after all.

Lisa, I am so proud of you. If you can make it through a festival of food and lose a pound the next day just think how well you will do during the holidays.

GOOD JOB!!!!

I am from Brooklyn originally and I never would have been able to control my eating at the San Gennaro festival. YUM! Good girl!

LISA,
I wanna see the update NOW! Do we gotta wait? :x

Okay, the least you can do is post an avatar picture for a preview.
Remember Silver Fox has a "skinny stick" handy. :whip:

Love your before pics. You're having such a good time, but think how much better this trip will be. WhooHoo!
