Antibiotics

We had a family dentist appointment today, and since I have mitral valve prolapse I had to take 2000 mg of amoxicillin before the appointment.

I read in the quick start guide that it's ok to take antibiotics while on MF, but it might slow down weight loss. Will those 4 pills just once today affect my weight loss for the week? Or do they mean long-term antibiotic use, like usually 10 days or so?

Look what I can do with my belt!

Okay, so I have a belt, don't remember what size it is, but that's not important.

I have gone tighter 3 holes in a week. Well, a week and a day, but still...

So, I had an idea, rather than buy a new belt, I was going to call this my "Weight Belt". With it, I will continue to make new 1 inch holes and see how far I can wrap this thing when I'm ...

Cool tool on glamour

Hi there!

I found this awesome tool on glamour website (glamour dot com). You can create your own virtual model that looks like you.

I thought it would be motivating for anyone to see how they look currently (I know we all are shy of cameras) and how the image would change as the weight is lost.

Check it out if interested.

Go to glamour dot com and click on dos and donts and then ...

EASTER

Ok. I have this goal that by Easter, I want to have lost another 20 pounds, which will bring me right below the BIG 200 mark. I will do this, as the weight is FALLING off me. People laugh at me because my clothes are falling off too... Anyway, I want to eat some chocolate and Mexican Food on Easter, as opposed to cooking a big ham and mashed pots like I usually do- do ...

Going on Vacation ...

Does anybody go off program a little bit on vacation? I only go on one vacation a year ... in May to the beach. I really want to be able to enjoy going out to dinner and maybe having breakfast (we do big breakfasts) a couple of days. I plan to bring my MF stuff with me and use it most of the time with the thought that it would be best to use my ...

Help

First let me say, I'm thrilled with the results I've had so far. I've lost 12+ pounds and haven't even been on the diet for a week yet!

But as you all well know...along with the weight loss there has been a whole lot of peeing going on.

Normally, that's not really a problem, a small, sometimes large, inconvenience, but not unmanageabe. Until last night...

I sing in a Symphonic Choir and we had a ...

What does diet mean?

I have been on diets so long I think I forgot what it means. The word diet has become a dirty word so I looked it up.

Diet - to choose certain foods to improve health or lose weight.

The word that gets me is choose. I am not being forced - I am making a quality decision - how empowering. At the end of the day the choice I make about what I eat ...

Honey BBQ Spices - First Ingredient Is Sugar

Yesterday I bought some Honey BBQ spice from the local grocery store and sprinkled a little bit on my chicken. It was pretty good, in fact, the only bbq spice that I've actually found to have a real BBQ taste to it. When I was looking at the label though, I noticed that the first ingredient was sugar. Nothing was listed in terms of how many grams.

I don't think this will throw me out ...

WoooHooooo!!!!

My husband paid me the kindest backhanded compliment this past weekend....we were in Daytona Beach walking in a crowd and I was some ways ahead of him. Well, he told me he lost me in the crowd as he could no longer recognize me from behind. After this many years he couldnt recognize my butt as it has gotten too small!

I could have kissed him, right there and then. Brings new meaning to -small- ...
