Yay! I've lost 56 pounds altogether on this diet!
I've also found that I get a lot of pleasure if I get invited over to a friend's house and bring them something that i don't personally want if I know they will enjoy it, for example I'm not fond of cherries or berries but I'm bringing a pie full of them over to a friend's today, also I bought roomie a bigass carton of mint chocolate chip ice cream, a flavor I don't care for but I'm happy to have him enjoy it. :) To my mind, it's just good manners to bring some food if someone is generous enough to invite you to their party, why not bring food that they'll like but I won't be tempted to break my diet over?
Also happy because I will be buying season 6 of Trailer Park Boys on DVD online later today. And of course still buzzed over getting to see Hugh live. He's amazing.

Congratulations!!! Is this the Medifast diet?

Smart strategy. I can't eat chocolate cake or brownies (bad experience a few years ago) so that's what I can bring. Really, that is a smart strategy. And I'm with you on mint ice cream!

Did you know, there are studies out that say whole milk is better for you, AND that people who use whole fat diary products on the whole tend to be slimmer than other people? It's a long scientific article. I never eat non-fat because of all the stuff they put in to compensate. Anyway, thought I'd let you know. I find I'm using less milk because it tastes so rich.

to my mind, mint chocolate chip ice cream is like eating ice cream and brushing your teeth at the same time. It amazes me how many people love it. (I didn't even know roomie liked it, he never ordered it when we went out for ice cream together and I've known him for 18 years!)

Wow! 56 lbs?? YOU GO GIRL!! *throws confetti*

I pretty much only drink 2%. I would drink whole milk but hubby and son don't care for it. It also froths pretty good for my lattes :D

I LOVE mint chocolate chip ice cream.

I prefer 2% myself. Whole milk feels too thick when I drink it.

Yeah, mint chocolate chip isn't good. I'm an ice cream snob. I like Ben & Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs. The chocolate peanut butter flavors.

Congrats on the weight loss!

my favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor is either New York Super Fudge Chunk or Scotchy Scotchy Scotch Scotch Scotch.

My favorite is Peanut Butter World.

That is incredible in this much time! I'm impressed by how hard you are working for this.

thank you. it's been 14 weeks and it hasn't been easy, thankfully in a few weeks I can start eating regular food again, just not in the big huge portions I was eating in.

That's a really great idea!!
