Just made the yummiest soup for dinner. Took the dark meat and carcass from the whole roast chix I made for dinner the other night and just simmered it for a few hours on low. Added water, low sodium chix bouillion cubes and low fat college inn chix broth. Then I deboned the chicken, simmered it a little bit more and added 1 small summer squash, diced; zucchini, diced; fresh mushrooms; chopped spinache, 1 small can garbanzo beans, a carrot (for color) and an onion, fresh basil chopped. Simmered for about 20 minutes and then added lots of pepper and some fresh parmesan. Seriously, this is an amazing soup (and lots of fiber!!!!!)

Hi Gals

You all sound like you are doing fabulous!! I've been struggling. Honey Nut Cheerio's today for breakfast. I needed the fiber really bad. What do you do when fiber is in dire need and the veggies aren't cutting the cheese?

I'm going to eat a lot of salads and chicken this weekend, along with cucumbers and broccoli and string cheese. Oh yeah... And lots of water. Didn't realize but I had my weight written down wrong. It is now corrected. Oops!

Have a great day ladies!

Latte

Latte, looks like you have a good plan for the weekend. It does take planning!

Anita do you want to meet in the chat now?

Hey, I do but don't know exactly how....I just clicked chat, but didn't look like anyone was there...I'm such a dummy.

Anita

Good Morning all you re-starters!!!

How are you doing today? How did you do yesterday?

I'm not sure where joesfolks is but I'm here to offer my support to all of you. The first few weeks are the hardest to get back on plan but it is not impossible....especially when you come here to support each other.

Where are you all going to weighin? Are you going to weighin here with each other or are you part of other challenges?

Wishing you all and truly onplan Sunday...whatever plan you are following!!

You are all welcome to come and join in over at the babes thread for our mondays weigh ins if you'd like, obviously you might find it easier to do it in here....the choice is yours, I just wanted to make sure you knew you were more than welcome over there.
xx

Sorry Judy

So far, my re-start has gone really well, and I'm looking forward to sharing my weight loss result for the first week tomorrow - just hope that the scales will still register the same number that they did this morning! (or even better)

Had to go to a leaving 'do' Friday lunchtime, but got through it without a hitch. I planned ahead and ate my lunch before I went so that I wouldn't have a problem is there was nothing I could 'legally' eat - and good job that I did, because it was a buffet full of carbs, carbs, carbs I just stuck with a class of diet coke.

The only thing food-wise that I've had a problem with is that I've been craving fruit. I think this is because of the wonderful smell of strawberries each time I've gone food shopping. I have resisted, although it's been hard - I'm definitely looking forward to starting Phase II in a week, when I will be able to have some

Hope everyone has had a great weekend ~ and here's to the start of another successful week

Hi everyone..doing well..im on day 5 of my restart. I lost 6.8 lbs first 3 days..didnt weigh this morning cuz i decided to start weighing once a week now that the initial woosh is over so i dont see the daily fluctuations and get disappointed. So i started Wed and wed will be my weigh-in day!
