*SlimmerMe's Progress Log*

[RaginCajun]

Even SM's thread, in all it's pureness, managed to turn into what is essentially a T&A discussion - and the best part is for once, you can't blame the guys!!!

hahahaha! you are so right with this one!

[qkcam]

slim! i love the bellydancer - you crack me up.. 25 lbs is great.. and back to biz for you after this weekend! will have to look for the chobani- how would it be in coffee instead of whipped cream?? LOL

[SexySweetheart]

lol...silly men
the yogart experiments sounded really yummy! and I was going to try one, but can you believe it, Im actualy kinda repulsed by sweets now...due to all these friggan choc flav protein shakes I chugging down lol, i feel like choc over load ~never thought Id see the day Id say THAT! glad you found a healthy way to keep ita yummy lady.

[gbrice75]

choc over load

What does this phrase mean? I've never heard such a thing. Is this another language? I cannot comprehend...

[SlimmerMe]

EVERYBODY'S HAPPY!



Anyway....RE: the yogurt mixed with cacao nibs
I got the idea from OOCajun as he puts that on top of his pancake!

So thanks OOCajun!

Hey Slim...i have been wondering.. or maybe i should ask first if you want to hear my thoughts? but here goes.. i know it is easy to eat the same thing everyday- cause then i know exactly what i am eating and life gets really easy-- but i am wondering if it might be more fun to have some meal variations for yourself, that will still keep you within your goals and maybe so you dont feel so "restricted" ?? what do i know? and often i do eat alot of the same things-- it sure makes it easier, shopping cooking, dishes.. thanks for posting and giving me ideas on what i can include in my food style plan!!

[SexySweetheart]

Good idea but competing with myself is all I can handle for now~
gotcha, knowing our limits and not stepping past them ~ is a good thing

I go back and forth. Sometimes I repeat a lot and then again, not. It depends. Whenever I repeat a meal it is because I know is is good for me plus I enjoy it anyway. I am still on the lookout for other meals to add along the way.

You bet! Also not the exact timeframe I am interested in since still maintaining for a bit longer.

Hope you pull it off and TAKE IT OFF!

I like that you counted your fries!! 10. turn the volume down on that bucken bronco and hold on tight! and sometimes it isnt' about stayin on the bronco but keep gettin up and dustin offs and keep on riding!!

[Buddhabody]

I'm a firm believer that logging all your foods keeps all of us honest. So I encourage you to continue and will be following closely and providing my two cents more often lol. Way to go bro :-)
