I was de-railed by Valentines Day. Cookies are my weakness. Anyway, that day is done. I am back to plan today.

In reply to: JANINE posted an update Confession is supposed to be good for the soul, so it is time I put it out there. During the Christmas holidays I didn’t just gain a pound or two, I gained 6. Thankfully, in the few days […] ViewThanks Ladies for all your posts. I can relate to everything that was said in this thread. I gained over the holidays, and have had a difficult time getting back on the wagon (I am thankful I only gained 7 lbs and not the 20 I could have). today is day 2 of week 2 of a re-start. Janine, hang in there and never think of it as failure but a…[Read more]

Thanks Tracy. Well said. Focus on the positive. I hear you!

Tracy – Congratulations on your restart. I like to think that we restart and reaffirm our commitment to our new lifestyle at the beginning of each new day. I am thankful each morning that I wake up pain free and with a blood sugar under 100. Sometimes I also get to do the happy dance because the scale also smiles at me with a lower number. But I…[Read more]

In reply to: JANINE posted an update I think I may have just gained 10 pounds by watching the Travel Channel’s episode about food in London, and in particular the east end. I am still drooling. The last bit pertained to high […] ViewHaHa…stay stong.

I am going to drink another cup of green tea and chomp on some almonds. Not exactly high tea, but I’m not in London, either!

Living dangerously watching a food program. I steer clear of looking at cook books, food magazines and food programs these days. Just no used feeling any frustration about what I can not eat when there are so many good things I can eat. Nicole
-
I normally avoid all those things, too, but since the local was London, and my daughter lives in the East end, I like to tell her about good places to eat. I am ok. Tea and almonds did the trick!

Janine, you make me chuckle:) When you hit your goal, come to the Bay Area we have some wonderful tea rooms!

day 5 week 1 and doing pretty good. Cravings are starting to go ease up.
-
Hi Tracy, Isn’t it great how the cravings get less and less. After a few months, I was having ‘thoughts’ about foods rather than strong urges to eat certain things. After 10 months on this plan I seldom have any interest in eating things like pizza or cookies, that I used to crave all the time. It is very easy to pass things up. I do notice I…[Read more]

In reply to: JANINE posted an update in the group UWC Losers I made a vow to myself this morning that I will faithfully follow the advanced plan, which means no more weekend coffee, until I reach my goal weight of 160 pounds […] ViewI know you can do it. You are my inspiration. I was on the BSS plan last spring and lost 30 lbs, and got off all medications. Did great until the holidays. I had the flu, then a cold, then bronchitis….Gained my holiday 7 lbs. So starting last Sunday I made the same vow to follow the BBS plan to the tee. Day 4 wk 1! so far so good.

Seems we are experiencing similar gains and illnesses and delays in reaching our respective goals. I am on day 1 of week 1 of getting back to basics and doing what works. Here’s wishing us both success in the (near!) future!!

Tracy – Good for you ! I have been doing a lot of thinking about what is going to be different this time to keep me from backsling into my old and “evil” ways. I think the biggest difference is the desire to keep my insulin dosage as minimal as possible. Any deviation at all from the amount of carbs that I know I can get away with eating in one…[Read more]

Hi Tracy, the old website didn’t have a way to search for recipes either. It would be nice if it did! What I do is, if someone posts a recipe I might want to try, I click on Favorite under the posting. It will be saved under My Favorites for when I’m ready to try it. You might want to scroll through the Recipes sub group to find the ones…[Read more]

i have a question about tomatoes. Are they allowed on the advanced plan? or are they considered a fruit to be avoided?
-
Tomatoes are fine, use organic canned tomatoes or locally grown organic tomatoes if possible. I eat local tomatoes when available then used canned the rest of the year.

In reply to: JANINE posted an update in the group Energy I climbed 50 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS as part of my Saturday workout! Viewthat is wonderful. I just registered for a Race to the Top which is 50 flights. I am only up to 15 flights at a time now but hope to build up to 50 by the end of March. Great going.
-
Great goal! You can do this. I find that the more distracted I am with music and tv the further I can go. Let me know how you add more and more flights. Good luck!

Thanks for that spark of hope. It’s really great to feel in control and to know that the advanced plan is a great way to get back on track with weight loss. I suspect I will fall back on that stricter version from time to time for the rest of my life. Right now I want to get the weight loss going again. So glad to hear how well it’s worked…[Read more]

I am going back on the advance plan for another 6 weeks to make sure I continue this new way of life and see if I can drop another 10 lbs. This time…[Read more]

One day derailed is not as bad as two days. Are the cookies all gone? Glad to hear you are back on track.
Hi Tracy, Back on track is great news. This plan is all about returning to the program as Janine and I can attest to!
Blessings, Margaret
I made some cookies this week that I ate some too. I make them small now 1/2 tbs scoop so when I do eat one they are not huge.
