First of all, congrats to you on your weight loss so far.

As far as snacks, I like to snack on no suger added fudge pops, low-fat cottage cheese mixed with mandarin oranges, nuts, or Lays WOW brand doritos or chips.

And btw I have lost a total of 34 pounds since the end of June!

I have **coughsixtycoughcough** more pounds left to lose.

Thank you for congratulating me.

Now an even bigger CONGRATULATIONS to you! I understand what it feels like to have a massive amount of weight to lose. Trust, I'm in that same boat, but you've definitely made some progress. That's phenomenal.

Say, do those chips you eat with Olestra (sp?) make you get bubble guts? I tried those and they are good, but it does not agree with my stomach. After doing research I discovered why.

Great work ladies!

I have heard that Olestra products can make some people get the "juicy toots" lol, but it doesn't have that effect on me. What did you find out about it?

Since you asked, I thought you should read the article for yourself. It had me kinda freakin' out! Read below...

__________

Olestra has an extraordinary avidity for certain fat-soluble substances, far exceeding what one would expect based on the fat substitute's proportion of the diet. Olestra's removal from the body of fat-soluble nutrients is linked directly to the additive's being a non-absorbable lipid-like substance.

Olestra causes gastrointestinal disturbances, which are sometimes severe, including diarrhea, fecal urgency, and more frequent and looser bowel movements.

I missed my regular WW meeting last Sunday (due to a weeklong vacation in Jamaica) so I went on Monday. I was too afraid to look at my book and I asked the receptionist not to tell me. TOM was looming, so I was pretty sure I was up (last year I went up almost 6 lbs.)

The next day I finally looked -- I was up 4.2 lbs. I said to myself, "I need to lose 5.8 -- in six days! -- to make 100."

Soooo ... I got up each morning and did Turbo Jam as though I was going to work, did Curves as well, drank water like a fish and stayed on top of my points. Wednesday I raked leaves for 2 hours and yesterday I shopped for 4 hours.

The results today? Down 6.8! I cannot believe that I have lost 101 pounds with WW (and 113 overall)! I got the magnet today and will have to remember to bring my camera next week when I get my certificate.

Only 7 lbs to Onederland ... Wow!

In other news, I bought some really cute stuff yesterday. I am going to be really hot this winter! Everyone have a great day!
