I would agree about waiting on the meat/egg fast. There are a few good tricks like those fasts that you can use along the way to get you to your goal, I think it's best to hold off to you truly need them.

Thank you very much, Keith. (well, I assume you were talking to me)

Trust me, it took patience!

There were a few times when I was so disgusted with my scale I could have thrown it away.
It's like the thing knows when my weigh-in is, because I would've weighed 150 all week, and on my weigh-in day I'd be up to 287.
That's hyperbole, of course. But my body knows and would adjust my weight enough to make me see red.

Anyway, the scale is my enemy most of the time. Measuring tapes are wonderful gadgets but can also drive you to the brink of madness when you've lost 20 pounds and gained 40 inches.

SPONGEBUTT,

would I blow the meat fast if I had one coffee with cream and splenda, I have to have one.

P.s. have been trying to reach you for help privately, it does not work, would still like some one on one help. like menu planning.

so, back to meat fast, I can do it, but I will have my coffee, anyone else out there do it with the coffee and cream,

Im afraid Il hurt someone without my coffee, ( kidding )

Stallqueen--You and my husband.

I don't know if coffee and cream would hurt you or not. I think that depends on how much you have. There are people who drink it and it doesn't hurt them.
It's a personal thing that only you can decide.

I don't know why you can't reach me. Is your private message box full?

SPONGEBUT

I dont know if its full , I doubt it.

try it again, ok,

I need one e-large country style coffee each day.....

Welcome Back Spongebutt!
I was curious how you did on your cruise, if you gained at all or just kept at what you were eating.

Hi Stallqueen! I tried to pm you a little while ago and got the message that your inbox was full. Just thought you would like to know

Finally...... departed from my stall 3 days ago, and dropped 3 pounds in 3 days!

I think I celebrated too much Staurday, and gained back one pound, but that's OK ..... I'm resuming strict rules of play today!
