No more eating out for me, that's for sure. I just did my weigh-in and almost puked. Actually I wish I had...maybe I could have lost a couple pounds! SO...here are the results"
Starting weight: 222
Today: 224.5 (gained 2.5 pounds)
I am really disappointed, but I have spent the last week surrounded by cheese, brownies, bagels, quiches, red wine and beer, so I am not really surprised. All I can do is get back on track now that I am finally home. No more c-r-a-p!
So far today--I made homemade vegetable soup this morning and it is AWESOME!
Vegetable broth (add tsp of oregano, rosemary, and pepper)
5 med. potatoes peeled
5 medium carrots peeled and chopped
5 stalks of celery chopped
1/2 onion chopped
Put chopped veggies into pan with about 2 tsp of olive oil and sautee for about 7 mins.
Put sauteed veggies into boiling vegetable broth. Boil for 10 mins and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 20-30 mins.
This tastes AWESOME, is filling, super healthy, gets you your daily allowance of veggies, and is super low-cal. If you make it, tell me what you think!
I ate this today, had a couple glasses of water (2 more to go), and a cup of coffee. I think I need to detox my body and get all the junk out of it. Anyone have any advice or suggestions? Wish me luck for Friday's weigh-in. I NEED IT!

I don't think you need luck...you have decided to lose weight so you will...you only over indulged due to your grandfather's funeral!!!
My downfall has always been starchy carbs,I learned if I limit the SC's to very small amounts in a day, say cereal and one other carb in the day and increase my protein it helps to eliminate the cravings I have for the starches. I know the food guide doesn't agree, but my body does!!!
Cheers
Thanks for the soup recipe. It looks yummy and just the thing I need to jump start my weight loss. I've been weighing in online for a few weeks now, and have gained a little. I am mad at myself and need to get back on track!!
