Wendysgoodnews 1st day to Weight Loss

[wendysgoodnews]

Thank you everyone.  This is the easiest eating plan I have ever been on and to think I can lose weight eating all the food I love.
I am leaving for Coeurd'Alene Idaho tomorrow until Sunday.  My mother is turning 85 so we are doing a week end of parties.  Please pray for me since they are making home made pizza and red velvet cake.  The next night we are eating at Golden Corral and sunday my son is bbqing for us.

B:  Banana
    Turkey
L:  BBQ porkloin
    Pineapple
D:  Bacon
      Eggs
      Frozen pineapple & orange

Well, Golden Corral will give you lots of LDL choices. Just don't go near the desserts!
Hopefully the BBQ will have some veggies on the side too.
Soooo once you get past the pizza and red velvet cake, you will be home free!
That will be rough....praying

I made black bean and pumpkin soup to take with me.  I figure I will take that and eat soup and take my frozen smoothie that way I won't be tempted.(I hope)

[LINDA RN]

Wendy,
You are awesome and always prepared.
No wonder you are so successfull!

[knighte]

I will say a prayer also. You sound prepared and armed with LDL foods.

Golden Corral is where I go when I want to eat heartily but stay within the LDL guidelines. When I lost about 30 pounds when I first started LDL, I would eat at GC quite often. Linda RN is so right...stay away from the desserts!

Hope your trip went well Wendy!

Golden C is a good LDL place.  That's where Ollie saw me eating and asked how I could lose and eat as I was eating---four plates and a bowl, salad, bean soup, hot veggies, meat, and fruit.  She tried it, and 85 lbs later!!!!Wendy, I hope all went well.  Our Super bowl party was a whole lot of eating.  I love LDL.    JF

It all went well.  On Thurs night my son ended up making lasagna so I asked him to save some sauce and I brought cabbage with me.  I ate that with corn and watermelon.  For dessert while they ate ice cream I ate a frozen smoothie.  Friday was home made pizza night.  I ate an apple before going and ate black bean/pumpkin soup and for desert ate frozen pineapple & orange icy.  My sister had made a wonderful green salad that was also good with a light raspberry dressing.  I never even missed eating the pizza or the red velvet cake or carrot cake.  When we went to Golden Corral it was easy to find what I wanted to eat and when I got home I had a smoothie. 
I was up when I weighed today but I have found any time I am eating out even if it is LDL approved food I end up gaining a little.  I don't know if it is all the salt or msg they put on the food.
Anyway, glad to be home where I can fix my wonderful food and know what I am eating.

I was up too Wendy and noticed I am retaining water also.
Blame it on the weather......
Watermelon season is coming!

You are doing a great job. All those temptations (it was painful to read all the non ldl food you were around) and you made all the right choices . Fantabulous.

[wendysgoodnews]

Knighte    I have found that the longer I am on LDL the less hard it is to be around all that kind of food.  I feel so good on the foods I am eating and I just have to get this weight off.  We have signed up with family to take an Alaskan cruise in July and I want to have alot more weight off by then.

Last couple days I have just not been hungry.  I have had to force myself to eat so my body doesnt go into starvation mode.

Made the best salad for Bible study.  It calls for all kinds of greens like spinach.  You cut up an apple, avocado,strawberries, feta cheese,cut up waterchestnuts(in place of almonds for crunch).  Then I put Lite Raspberry Vinaigrette over it.
When I had it last week end they had put craisins in it with the almonds so I made it more LDL friendly.
