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 guess I'll stick with my other snacks...lol

Thanks for the info.

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!

I heard that Babyblue... i've lost 30lbs since May, but with the holidays comin, half of that will be back in the gut...

Baby Blue- I am so proud of you! You inspire me! I've lost 15lbs. With the holidays coming, I'm scared that I'm going to gain or maintain. I pray to at least maintain.

You are my inspiration!

Keep up the great work!

the key to the holidays is to have a game plan in place way before dinner is served... so mentally psych yourself up for what you will eat, portion size, etc... don't deprive yourself but do try not to overindulge... and try not to go to the dinner table starved. eat a light snack a few hours before dinner... or if you do slip up, know that it's never too late to get back on the wagon - if you fall off!

Thank you! I plan on using this advice...

Excellent advice! I already knew my plan on Thanksgiving Day: make a sampler plate of itty, bitty portions for everything you want. So I had 2-4 bites of the stuff I wanted; I only had 4 bites of dressing with giblet gravy. To top it off, I went walking around the neighborhood after eating. I had a few bites of Red Velvet Cake and two bites of my aunt's Upside Down German Chocolate Cake.

I worked out on Thanksgiving Day, y'all! I was in the gym 5 days last week

End result: I lost 3 pounds on Thanksgiving Week!

Motivated doesn't begin to describe how I feel.

PS Congrats, BabyBlue!!! I can't wait to be in Onederland.
