Is it just me, or does the Fat Free and Low Fat stuff taste terrible? I'd rather just limit my intake than east that stuff. I bought a bottle of Blue Cheese dressing...fat free....was watery. Won't buy that again.

Oh, and the cheese thing..........totally a downfall for me!! I LOVE CHEESE. But I'm trying to be good and limit it. If I went on a Liver diet I'd be really really skinny by now....I HATE LIVER!!! LOL.

Isn't it great that we are all different! My Mother doesn't like chocolate - I know some people just aren't normal. But DH and I consider liver a wonderful meal. Now cheese - I can take or leave. Trying to be very good after traveling, but I'm a stress eater so stopping at Arby's at 9:30 last night didn't help. Today is another day - thank you Lord.

Well, weight has been down this past week, but given that I had an upset stomach last Friday and kept losing everything I had - both ways, it is not surprising. Took a day or two and now, my stomach seems to be back in order, so to keep the volume down to a low roar and perhaps I can keep that number down, too. Won't be too hard to stop/avoid cheese. I'm a take it or leave it kinda person with that. Keep in better health everyone and stick around with us for awhile.

Glad I don't live near you!!!! Do they give samples?????? I guess this is in WI..... and not TX my sister lives about 50 miles from Houston in a little place called Shepherd and I think Conroeis the other way. Only been there once in Aug and that was the wrong time to go.. went to San Antino to the Alamo and Fiesta Park not a good place to go when it is a 106 degrees and you are from the hills of WV. She always comes in Aug. since it is so hot there.

I totally agree. I can't eat the fat free or light versions of dressings or anything except my Fage o% Greek yogurt which I love. FF and light dressings are always so sweet to me and have a strange mouthfeel. I look for regular dressings with the fewest ingredients and additives and no sugar. Newman's Own olive oil and vinegar is great-basically oil, vinegar and seasonings. I also make my own dressing a lot. Balsamic vinegar, olive oil and dijon mustard with seasonings. If I've been good and want a treat I will have litehouse blue cheese or Caesar. I am also a total cheese freak. If I add feta to my salad for lunch it seems to satisfy my cheese craving. Still in a holding pattern here can't seem to get myself unstuck.

i love one or 2 cheeses but they don't love me, and leave as soon as possible. i figure they don't hang around long enough to leave calories. . liver, never passes my lips! or nose! my dh loves it so i have told him he can have it anytime he is out without me! he has been very nice and brought me a strawberry shake monday, and one today. as soon as my mouth is up to it i will enjoy warm foods. so far only cold. tomorrow we go to the grange fair, a yearly trip. dh enjoys the food and i enjoy the handcrafts and animals. it is a signal to me that fall approaches! fall is by far my favorite season. well, one of the top 4 at any rate! i love texas, but i also love the change of seasons. when i lived in dallas i would go with friends to santa fe the 3rd week in august. it was culturally very rich-- every nite we went to the opera, and on the week end it was indian trade days. soooo much fun! at one time i knew where the only color changing trees were in dallas. since then they have planted more. hurray for diversity! lol

Went to see a friend this weekend in VA for a quilting weekend. Totally thought my diet plans would be ruined. Even had a beer, small piece of cake, and a piece of chocolate. But got on the scale this morning and it had moved in the downward motion again. I was soooooo relieved. Hoping to stay in that direction. It's very very tough!!!!

Good Morning ladies......from a rainy dallas with a cool front, today we are not suppose to get out of the 80's. I have been asked to make 3 t-shirt quilts, one of them i have had the t-shirts from before I had my lung surgery last year. Got with her this weekend and we discussed what she wanted. Early this morning I cut them apart now to go stablize them and get started on putting them together. Then a gentleman friend asked me to put all his racing t-shirt into 2 quilts, got his shirts and will start those as soon as the other one is done.

So will job hunt in the mornings and work on the quilts in the afternoon.

Eating has been good, staying away from the unhealthy stuff. I am down another 3 lbs this month.

Ladies .......what are you working on and how is your month coming along.

Remember we are in control of what we do and the choices we make.

Congrats on a winning weekend. I know sometimes we think we do worse than we do. Keep up all your good work.
