THE BEAN QUEEN IS BACK

hey you guys.......THE BEAN QUEEN IS BACK IN TOWN....i opted not to reregister in february when my account was deleted and i lost access to my 2700 posts....i figured that newbies wouldn't take me seriously with like "0" posts.....but, if you want to make my aquaintance, look for my 2700 posts that are scattered throughout the cyberspace of the let's do lunch boards(they say "niki/guest")..or, just add an imaginary 2700 to whatever number of posts my name shows.....either way, i'm here to say(i rhyme...haha)i lost all the weight i wanted to lose on let's do lunch....i'm now power walking 4 miles most days on the boardwalk of jones beach(a great walk and a great escape)which is for me a WONDERFUL thing.....to understand how wonderful, look for my story on the personal success boards under the topic "my success story in progress".......i just turned 55 a few weeks ago and i have to say I FEEL GREAT.........let's do lunch changed my life....i KNOW that i was NEVER going to lose this weight ANY OTHER WAY...as far as i am concerned, there is only ONE way to lose weight AND(a very important AND)KEEP IT OFF......and that's let's do lunch......i don't know why EVERYONE doesn't jump right in to eat this way.....you eat like you're not on a diet, crave the things that are good for you and not the things that are bad for you, AND lose all the weight you want to lose....to me, it's a no brainer.....   
   uuuummmmmm, princess veronica.......i'd like to say how pleased i was when i read cruella deville's post on the boards asking if you knew how she could get rid of her warts......i was VERY happy(since i am a dog lover)that you DID NOT tell her that a thick paste of pinto beans applied as a poultice would solve that problem(especially the one on the tip of her nose)...however, i was quite perturbed to see that you DID NOT respond to peter parker's post saying his webs were not shooting out with as much force as they used to....YOU KNOW that BEANS could have resolved that for him....AND the next time i see him, i WILL advise him in my capacity as bean queen...AFTER ALL, remember that spider man IS a new yorker......
   NOW, as to this matter of the food police?....OF COURSE the name of the squad MUST be "the bean brigade"...WHAT ELSE?....AND we WILL be registering new members....please remind the queen mum that i expect BOTH of you to take your royal responsibilities more seriously FROM NOW ON....i heard through the grapevine, that joe got through  to miss mary's kitchen with a SACK full of mangos BECAUSE he brought with him to the ranch a pack of BEARS from when he went camping with the boy scouts(it was the boy scouts, wasn't it?..and bears DO travel in packs, don't they?)....NOW, delia is NOT the only one who is not laughing..........well joe?....you're going to have to make a LOT of pesto to make up for this one......brother ben will be waiting for his share at the fed ex office................
  and please allow me to clear up for everyone EXACTLY where this ranch is...................it's in SKINNYTOWN......WHERE ELSE WOULD IT BE?..........................sincerely,niki(aka..the bean queen)

????HUH??? Glad to see you back Niki!!! You've been missed. But, What was this about warts and cruella deville and Peter Parker about webs not shooting???? I missed something obviously!
Now we know that Joe hasn't been allowed anywhere NEAR Miss Mary's Kitchen except to pick up his plate of food she fixed!

Glad to hear you've lost it all and kept it off! I'm not doing as well as I could, but am gradually getting back on track!
Love ya BEAN QUEEN!!

LOL! Veronica; Your imagination has gotten rusty during the queen's absence. She was just bringing humor to the boards again, not quoting previous conversations...

I had only gotten to know the "bean queen" a little before she went on sabbatical.  Glad you are back, Niki.  You always had interesting posts and some good recipes.  Glad to hear about your success.  Welcome back.

YAHOO-- glad to see you here!  And you can come out and go camping with us and help me scare the bears away.  Hmm, maybe if I eat MORE BEANS and don't take the beano that would do it.  :o

*from an email sent from Debbiewebe on July 30th 2007 to Bean Queen......

"Glad to hear all is well with you.  You should think about coming back on the boards again."  along with some other things I said which I'm not at liberty to repeat!!!!!  Well God has blessed me with a miracle I say and I didnt have to wait all that long!!!!! YIPEE!!!!!!

Apparently nagging the Bean Queen works!!!!!  Let the nagging BEGIN!!!!!

I love you dear friend and I for one appreciate your return to these boards. Everyone on here has helped me in their own special unique way and you were no exception to the rule.  I feel blessed to know you and feel especially blessed that you have come home to where you are able to help others the way you have helped me. 

Let me just say although I am not following LDL at the moment...well I guess you could say I am sort of cause what I eat would fall into the catagories of legal LDL foods it is more restrictive in its quantities I know once I get where I need to be weightwise it will be LDL to which I will return to maintain my goalweight.  My body and mind just never adjusted to the eating till stuffed option.  I needed personally to work on portion controll...PERIOD!!!!  Right now I am low carb, low fat, low calorie and happy with my progress at this point.  I know everyone in here is all working towards the same goals of a happy and healthier lifestyle and supporting each others efforts and stumbles is what its all about.

I look forward to watching you inspire others from your experience as you have done me!!!
LOVE YA LOTS AND GOD BLESS
Debbie

P.S.  I love your title.....New but learning.....I think we all qualify for that title!!!!
Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning Miss Niki!!!

debbie...you are SO funny.....you DID say that to me, didn't you?...actually, i think somewhere around that time, so did tom.......GOSH....
 you know, and portion control is what i've always hated...i RESENT not being able to eat until i'm REALLY full....i love to eat and i HATE to be hungry...THAT is the story of my life in a beanskin(nutshell...haha)....
 i've done low carbs loads of times...but, the last couple of times i did it, i didn't lose anything AND it always made me feel more tired than my usual diet of junk food...as far as my energy levels go, let's do lunch is as good as i will ever get.....NOW, i'm going to see what the combination of let's do lunch AND walking 4 miles most days does for me.
 so, do what you gotta do, kiddo...you ALWAYS know where to find me ..........love you too.........niki
