Congratulations wmenke

I have a "day off" like yours once a week. Usually on a Monday. I eat whatever I like and don't worry about counting calories or anything like that. It helps me to stay strict for the rest of the week.

I lost 18 pounds doing it like that

Roxy, I just wanted to tell you what an inspiration you have been to me. I know that you are counting calories, but from your posts you would never know you were - you eat lots of variety and yummy foods. I used to calorie count for years and years (i still have all the notebooks ) so I am a bit tired of that, however over the last week or so I have used your model and just tried to eat smaller portions, eat only when hungry, etc. I have lost about 4 lbs and 2 people told me I tooked thinner!

So, we will see...If I can continue to loose weight like this, that would be great.

[Wildflower]

today -

Breakfast - 1 slice of whole wheat toast w/1 tsp earth balance. large mug of chai w/light vanilla soymilk.

snack - banana

lunch - cup of pasta salad w/basil/tomatoes/red peppers/brocolli. Boca ChickN patty.

Early Dinner - 1/2 cup of pasta salad (i think that was the end of the pasta salad...) and a dry (no margarine) grilled "cheese". 2 Heinz sour pickles. about 10 pretzels with yellow mustard. 1/2 cup of soy kefir (stomach hurt horribly after eating).

Dessert - chocolate cupcake w/chocolate mousse.

Awwww - that's great Wildflower! I'm so happy to have been able to be a positive influence. 4lbs is great and isn't it sooooo good when people actually tell you that you look thinner! It makes you think "woohoo it's working "

Congratulations!
