Izzy, sometimes I dice my avocado up over whatever I'm eating and usually when I do tacos or burrito foods I make guacamole type :-) You're right, no sugars, grains, pasta, rice or very very little maybe twice a month. I really try hard to pay close attention to that part. Something strange I've noticed with me, if I do eat bread at all I eat white, the whole wheat really causes me to hurt in my joints for several days.....weird I think LOL. But you know I was brought up on white bread and when we got married almost 30 years ago DH only ate whole wheat, so I switched and I kid you not I have steadily gained weight the whole time, sometimes worse then others......I just wonder if I don't process whole wheat right?

Looks like I need to join you girls.....weighed the other day and I have gained 20+ pounds since October. Guess this means I have to give up my morning bagel........ Really love my bagels. Also pasta, which is my favorite.....is brown rice as bad as white?

Love veggies, so that won't be a problem, and I can go easy on bread, only use whole wheat anyway. As long as there aren't sweets here I can do without.....only drink water 90% of the time......looks like I need to do like Izzy and get the Wii out and go back to exercising.

Lol, I have got lazy since it has gotten cold...got more quilting done though.....


Any of you have a miracle food that is a sure winner, lol?

I am still at the 17 pound mark. thankfully the holiday's are over and I can start fresh.

I find that if I only eat when I am hungry (what a concept) and eat slowly I do better.

Joyce, glad you're joining in. happy losing.

Welcome Joyce. It is a new beginning for everyone. I gained a couple of pounds since I was on vacation for a month. But I walked over 10,000 steps yesterday. Hmm all the grocery shopping and laundry will do that for you. Started back on my diet today, but did get my infusion yesterday so that adds 3 lbs. Gotta get that off too.
Not going to weigh in on Thurs have a Dr apt with the RA doc, so I have till next Thurs to get that extra weight off.

You girls inspire me you are doing so well. I am so proud of you.

Okay hoping this isnt a fluke, but looks like I've lost three pounds.........been weighing every morning and night to check for the normal fluctuations ....and this morning was three pounds less. Of course, lol, tomorrow I might be six pounds heavier......lord I hope not.

Trying to eat less, smaller amounts more often. We will see.
