stand4hope Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 GOOD MORNING! It’s a new month and time for another fresh start. It’s also time to report in (good or bad). I have lost another 4 lbs. this month, bringing me to being to a total of 20 lbs. SMALLER! My food tip for this month is to eat lots of fiber. Fiber helps make you feel full, and also helps to offset the effect of carbs and calories, and even help prevent colon cancer. Some of my favorite fiber foods are black beans, bran flakes, oatmeal and potatoes. Here’s a link to some high fiber foods that you can print and take shopping with you: http://www.dietsite.com/dt/diets/eating ... hfiber.asp As the holidays approach, my personal advice would be to not be too strict. Go ahead and eat some of the wonderful foods during the holidays, just cut down on quantities. If you don’t get SMALLER during the holidays, it’s pretty easy to not gain if we are just sensible about quantities. Ok, now it’s your turn. Please report how much SMALLER you are this month, and even if you aren’t SMALLER yet, please go ahead and share a good food, exercise or other weight loss tip. If you haven’t joined us so far, please do so.

kim Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Hello! I have a recipe to share and I think it's got quite a bit of fiber. Taco Soup 1 lb. extra lean ground beef or turkey(I prefer the turkey found 98% fat free here) 2 cans stewed tomatoes 1 can whole kernel corn 1 can chili beans(I like brooks brand, lowest sodium) 1 can pinto beans 1 med. sized onion 1 pkg, taco mix(McCormicks makes a lower sodium mix) 1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix(powder) Brown meat, and add all other ingredients. simmer for a little while and serve. Great with tortilla chips! One cup serving is 2 weight watchers points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyCW Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I have no change in weight to report, but I did just return from the gym! (This week's goal of 4 workouts: 1 down, 3 to go.) And Kim, thanks for the recipe, I may just try that tonight -- it sounds good! BeckyCW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betplace Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I don't see the docs scale until thursday, but I would say by my clothes that my vacation sabotaged all of my efforts this month. I had a good time so it was worth it. I am trying to be good most of the time tho! I will report an official weight on Thursday.

kimblanchard Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 (Countrygirl tippy-toes in quietly and sits on the bench in the corner in the dark in the back.) Gained one pound. Well, like you said, a good time for a fresh start. We haven't failed until we stop trying. Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Slinking in and sitting beside Margaret. Wondering how many calories I'll burn strangling that perky Peggy Peggy is small enough I think I can take her. Ok...once again...no change! However, next week I start aerobics again so we will see. Kim, send your recipe to kitkathi for the cookbook. Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 Kim, that recipe sounds wonderful. I have some ground turkey but don't have the taco mix or hidden valley mix, so I'll get the stuff and make that soon. I love things like that and they are really easy to take for lunch to work and heat in the microwave. (By the way, to everybody that didn't already know, Kim's recipe is only 2 points because Weight Watchers knocks off points for that yummy fiber since it isn't absorbed by your body - goes straight through). Ry, Muahahaha! (Becky taught me how to do that!) You probably need 3 or 4 months before I'm small enough for you to take me on, though. I'm pretty short, but right now, I could just sit on you and squash you like a bug. LOL! Margaret and Ry - no slinking allowed! I've been bad for 30 years, so I know ALL ABOUT slinking around. Most of the time, though, I don't slink, just hide behind a "big shirt". Betty: Don't have to report your weight unless you just want to. We're not (at least I'M NOT - EVER) giving weight, just weight lost, and nobody can make me tell, not even with extreme torture! Only my doctor "knows for sure." Unless somebody has a HIPPA for my medical records, they are SOL! Teehee! Becky: Going for 3 more workouts! YOU CAN DO IT!! Swing that torso, doe-see-doe!! Where the heck is everybody else that signed up for this shindig? If I don't start seeing some more posts, I'm going to do a loud ROLL CALL! Loveya all, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I'm here, but I am ignoring you. I have gained back 3 pounds. Bad, bad, bad. So yesterday I am back to good eating in small amounts and went to Curves. I really like Curves. I am going to weigh myself this a.m. You may hear me scream if I haven't lost anything.

Snowflake Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Not slinking to the back of the room, I'm just walking right on by...if I were to sneak in and sit down, the chair would break and I would be the center of attention...so I'll just go down the hall for the meeting with doughnuts... Maybe next month... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
