I'm getting there...

So far, I've lost 6.8 pounds. My goal was to lose 10 pounds, but I may keep it up till I go back to my old goal weight of 127. That was about 5 years ago, but it could happen.

I'm very pleased. I remember how unhappy I was when I started this, but I got used to it.

My menu is laughable, and never changes because if it ain't broken, don't fix it!

Breakfast - Instant oatmeal/soy milk, 1 tablespoon peanut butter and coffee.

Lunch - 1/2 fat free muffin and a fruit, and coffee

Dinner - A portion of meat or chicken and as many veggies as I can
fit on my plate. One glass diet ginger ale. I buy fresh veggies every week and steam them in the microwave. They are delicious.

Snacks - 2 WW chocolate/caramel candy bars - they're tiny, but hey, they are chocolate! One bag WW pretzel chips.

Then I have something else - like 1/2 muffin or something.

Every 3rd week - A cheesburger and fries.

Way to go Judy!!! I'm so proud of you!! I keep a bag of the Birds eye frozen veggies that you steam in the bag when I don't feel like cleaning the fresh ones. They are just as good as fresh, trust me on this!!!

I like the Hostess mini cupcakes too. You get 3 little cup cakes in a package and it's only 1 point. It's the ones that come in the 100 calorie box, I think there are 6-8 in a box. LOVE them!!

And when I want something crunchy I like the 100 calorie packages of cheese nips. I eat one at a time and dont' eat another one till the first is gone. I LOVE them too...LOl

Judy I am proud of you keep up the good work. You will achieve your goal weight. I find that being repetitious is a good thing.

Ya know, I bet those cheese nips are a lot cheaper than the WW pretzeel chips. The chocolate I have to have!

Aren't those ready made steamed veggies delicious? They're so fresh, but they cost about $3.89 for one bag here. Food is just so expensive! Cut up fresh veggies are about $3.99!

Great JOb! Loosing weight is never easy. I am a firm believer that you have to truly want to loose weight in order to make it work. I agree with you on the menu. As long as it is working for you then stick with it!
