Numbers goin’
Down dooby doo down down
Losing’s what we want to do
Oh take that fat, away from me
Don’t want no jiggling anatomy
If I’m fit than I won’t be so blue
So losin’s what I’m going to do…
You know…these things just come over me…
Good Morning!! It’s that magical time again! Take a deep breath, let it out, step on the scale and shake it all about! (okay maybe not that last part!) Let’s see… there was something I wanted to ask you guys. Something to discuss along with the weigh-in…but I can’t remember what it was!!! Somebody come up with a fun question, willya?

Down a fraction of a pound, but I’ve basically been at the same place for 3 weeks. Grr.

No change, still at 131, but lot’s of fluctuation between Mondays. Grrr. But… getting better at exercising again.
How about this question:
What’s your favorite Labor Day Weekend activity? Or for those outside the U.S., what’s your favorite thing to do before autumn comes and the kids go back to school?
Well. We rarely go anywhere for holiday weekends. The traffic is just too horrible. But hiking is at it’s prime right now. And we went on a nice hike last Saturday.

My favorite food to take to a party is rather naughty - yet SB legal.
Pizza Dip
1 pkg cream cheese, softened (can use reduced fat if you want)
1 tsp italian seasoning
Dash garlic powder
3/4 cup grated parmesan
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 cup pizza sauce
Mix the cream cheese with the seasonings and spread in the bottom of a microwavable pie plate. Top with half the cheese, all the pizza sauce, and the rest of the cheese. Garnish with chopped green pepper, green onions and/or chopped turkey pepperoni.
Cover with plastic wrap. When ready to serve, microwave 2-4 minutes - until it’s all warm and squidgy. Let stand for two minutes. Serve with crackers or chips or breadsticks or…
I had this at a party back in February. I gave myself a small helping and ate it slowly with 7 whole wheat triscuits. Soooooo good!!!
Labor day? I dunno. I just enjoy the time with my hubby!

Well, I’m down a little over one from the last time I weghed in two or three weeks ago! But of course, two days ago I was down to 206, but it’s that wondrous time of water weight, so I guess next week will seem like I lost a lot!
I don’t know what my fav food to take to a party is, but when I have people over and am not dieting, I love to make enchiladas and corn cake

I’m not sure, I think down one. I have nothing “good” to take to a party. I have a yummy recipe for baked artichoke squares, but those babies aren’t on any diet known to man.
Blest, your recipe sounds delicious - all the recipes you post sound good! So, I was wondering - do you (or any of you other lovely people) have some good South Beach friendly baked salmon recipes?? I’m getting kinda tired of my usual teriyaki…
My dear mother gave me about six salmon recipes the other day from magazines, and they all had honey or barbecue sauce or some such other forbidden goody in the sauce!

216/185/140 - up 4.5 lbs. My last weigh in was July 9. Then I went on a month long road trip! Last Tuesday, when I arrived home I weighed 188.5, so I am VERY happy to be going back down. I ate pretty good until the last 10 days. A short trip to Vegas and bouncing from house to house gave me too many temptations and fewer alternatives to battle them. I seriously got out of the habit of drinking water, too.
Back in the saddle and trying to find a way in my tight budget to eliminate any cheating!
(If you noticed the change I am now using my high weight of 216 - where I was at in late August of last year when I started eavesdropping at OWOA.)

My fav party food to make is pico de gallo with cubed avacado on trisquits. Num-Num!
As for Labor Day - I’m staying home and playing Wii. I’m done with travel for now!
Oh - and you ladies are doing awesome! It’s very encouraging.

No freaking change. I’m going back to Phase I until further notice.

Haven’t weighed in today - just got home from a getaway with my daughter! I took her on a Passport2Purity weekend - we had such a good time (and a Hard time, but it was well worth it!).
I’ll weigh in tomorrow morning and see where I be!

No change for me this week. And uh, Labor Day is just a day off for me;), and a dish? I usually take a dessert it seems, or Tomato Salad at this time of year. I am finally sick of it myself though.

Blest–that sounds gooood; thanks for the recipe!
Laura–I am interested in that tomato salad recipe. Have you posted it before?

I didn’t weight in yesterday because it skipped my mind. I usually work from home Monday’s and I work out in the a.m. but yesterday I had to go into the office, so I forgot.
So, until next week…
Fav food to take to a party…hmmm…I’m always up for trying something new. The last dessert I took was someting sinful.
In a trifle bowl, layer brownies, chocolate pudding, chocolate cool whip, some kind of crushed candy bar, more brownies, regular cool whip, more crushed candy. For an appetizer, last time I tried this…throw some plain frozen meatballs in a crockpot with a jar of grape jelly and a jar of heinz hot sauce. It was yum! Someone at work made it and it had a great taste, so I got the recipe and tried it and it was a big hit and super easy.

I did not weigh in yesterday due to extreme craziness of life. I am around 162 which is a 4 lb loss from last week. Really I think it is just water but I’ll take it. ;O)
