beachykeen, thanks for the yogurt tip!  And I love that chicken in a can stuff, so I'll have to give that a try.

And oh girls, can I be your sister too?  My mom is a different kind of mean though.  Maybe I could be the step sister!  She lost weight a year ago and after that it seemed like she was always watching me and judging what i ate.  But now she has started to gain some back so it seems like she can never be happy for what I am accomplishing!  Lots of negativity.  Last week I took that awful pic of my grouting over to her house and said, "Look at my before picture mom, can you believe that was me just a few months ago?"  She says, "I'm not saying anything because WHEN you gain all that weight back I don't want you to be suicidal!"

Well, gee mom thanks, I can feel the love!

might as well add me to this sisterhood..lol   HAHA !" the cabbage soup sisterhood"  because my mom is the same way.  The other day, I'm over there and she looks at me and sais "you know cammie, you really did get the bad genes"   need I say more?   lol

OK! I came up with a few recipes of my own. = ) 

and wait.....no....Beachy! LOL you had my sis n I laughing so hard last night while we were waiting for our pizza   haha  What? did I say pizza ?  oh yes...i fell right off the cabbage soup wagon again but, not on the 4th day..lol this time on day 5....so! I get to start day 5 over today... yay:dry: ANYWAY ; )  thanks for the giggle beachy! I so needed it.. = )

Ok.... I like lowfat cottage cheese with tuna or canned chicken and some lemon pepper and pickles...like a little salad

Another salad : Lettuce of your choice, canned chick.,celery, and some soy sauce on top.....  fat free! and you can add mandarines if you like...little fat free chinese chick. salad! 

alright ladies- have a great day

--cammie

Wow Cammie, good for you!  That must motivate you to get back on and keep going!

And thanks for the salad tips, always looking for a new and exciting way to deal with dry tuna!  I am such a mayo girl, so I always have a hard time!

And i also think it's great that we all have each other for support here. 

15-20lbs to my goal weight.  Let's keep up the good work!  day 5 (again:mad2:) for me and 2 to go.  Stay tuned to see if I shed another 5 lbs by Friday.

How are you girls doing with your goals???  and are there any men out there reading on the CSD?? I know my man isn't..lol he will eat 5000 calories and 120 grams of fat today and lose 3 lbs.....but ya gotta love him! he is a heavy equipment mechanic works 6 days a week and never complains...oh how i love that man of mine and his metabolism..hehe
----cammie

thanks! and i'm sure you're going to looke beautiful for the wedding and you're going to have a great time.

You guys have no idea how close I came to throwing it all away today.  I had to take my baby for his check up out of town.  Now keep in mind, I live in a metropolis of 5000 people...lol so all we have here is McDonalds and Subway...gets kinda old... So in the town where my son's Pediatrician is, there are tons of fast food options ....so, I'm starving because it's 1pm and I havn't eaten anything all day...I gave in and ordered my hamburger and fries and OH YES! diet coke...lol  and proceeded on .....I ate one french fry and felt soooo guilty that i closed the bag and put it on the floor board and gave it to my man when I got home....and the only thing I kept thinking was, what am I going to say in the next CSD discussion?  and It worked...so thank you !!   that was really really really hard though....

Oh and by the way...my mom has the lap band for weight loss ....so not fair.. but, i'm happy she's healthier..

Beachykeen??? where ya at soul sister????

Day 5 over..Wuhoohoooo! 

----------------cammie

here I am.. here I am!

cammie:  I am sooooo proud of you! You are much better than me.  A few weeks back I was at a drive thru and was thinking salad..salad...salad..salad.. then at the order window I swear something jumped in my body and said  Large Number 2 please.  Oh $#@&.  I hate when that happens hahaha.
And I'm also right there with you cause I work in an office (alone) grrrr right by Disneyland.  I'm looking out my window and can see.. Jack in the Box, McDonalds, Carls Jr., Taco Bell, Taco Town, Dunkin Donuts.  And NO healthy place to eat.

I lived with my ex for two years and gained about 30 lbs.  My thing is if its there... I'll eat it.  And well he cooks for an army (the neighbors always came to eat) so I'd be full but still eat cause well... it was there. And pasta.. oh my god the amounts of pasta and garlic bread I ate was amazing.  And did he ever gain weight ohhh no never.  And he has a body that rival any guy my age.(He's about 20 yrs older than me)  Must have been the construction work he did.

Definately it's the Construction, and the fact that MEN just lose weight so much faster!  My husband is in construction too but now he's the boss so not so active, and he's  at least 20 yrs. older than you too!  Anyway he got up to about 250 (he's 6'2") from being the Project Superintendent instead of the General Forman so he started dieting about 6 weeks ago and now he's down to 220  from eating Raisen Bran, skim milk and a banana every day for lunch, a V-8 juice for breakfast, and a sensible dinner. (this week he's eaten 1/2 a watermelon for dinner every night!  It makes me so mad!  and of coarse he'll work out, lift weights, jumprope and stuff, and I don't, I am just a lazy biotch!!  But my point is...men's metabolism is so different than ours!

As far as the fast food goes, have you seen that movie/documentary "Supersize me"?  That's a real eye opener!  and if you have a problem with the temptations of fast food, go rent it!   hat really isn't my thing because I'm kind of a freak about cleanliness and I've heard some real horror stories about what goes on in the kitchens!  So maybe the next time you wat to go through the Drive-thru, think about eating a "lung biscuit" or imagine what the "Secret Sauce" really could be??!!!   

Yeah I'm getting better with the fast food thing... I'm trying to use my Power Of Stubberness for good instead of evil.

Is subway bad?  Cause when I try to eat healthy I drive to subway uh oh

yes! why does fast food taste so darn good anyway??????

Ok...lol girls girls GIRLS!!! lol   I have been at a graduation party alllll day and everyone who is anyone was there... and today i finally fit my size13 in juniors--jeans that I love...now don't get me wrong...lol i just had a c-section and pretty much have NOOOOO business wearing junior sizes but! here I went sooo proud of myself and my sister said I looked really great and then my friend tells me there is an 18 year old girl who is just ga ga over my hunk-o-man but, not to worry cuz she's kinda chubby  lol and i'm like so excited and i say "so she's chubbier than me right"  and my friend just looks me up and down a few times and sais....."well, i'm not going to say who's chubbier but, i'm sure you have nothing to worry about"   lol  I just wanted to go crawl under a rock but instead I said "now.. where's that cake???"    I was so dissappointed in myself....and i ate the darn cake...well a few bites anyway...it was really good too...and then, i washed it down with some of my sisters potato salad...LOL ----ok baby's awake.... you girls resist the temptation...don't be like me today....you guys rock anyway      bye for now...

-----cammie

fast food tastes great cause of the SECRET SAUCE hahaha

So todays' my last day its 6:45 pm my time... I'm going to go kick boxing then supposed to go bowling.  But I might skip the bowling cause oh my god I am fighting tooth and nail not to cheat right now.  I'm already dreaming of tomorrows breakfast ... how sad is that hahahaha

So since I'm working early on Sat morning I'm gonna ground myself on Friday and then on Sat... I'm goin' on the PGD Patrone style
1 oz of Patrone Silver = 69 calories   


This means... I'm gonna go to the gym on friday too.  Wish me luck:blush:

So Party Girls...I am REALLY going to try not to drink this weekend!  So far this week I've done: day1, day2, day3, day3, and today I will do day 3 again.  Tomorrow (Sat.) going to do the meat thing, Pork Tenderloin though instead of beef ("the other white meat, yea baby!) and so forth.
  If I do break down it will be just one or wo but I'm going to try not to.  You see my sister emailed me Mon. and said "it was so good talking to you on the phone last night!"  and I didn't remember talking to her!!  I was THAT shit faced!  So I'm going to try to be true to this thing, THIS TIME!!

So I bought all the stuff to keep me in line.  I went to the store and bought:
1 watermelon
2 honeydew melons
3 heads of cabbage
1 head of lettuce
2 grapefruits
1 head of cauliflower

So I'm driving home and I'm really not THAT reckless, but when I opened the trunk all this stuff had rolled all over the place!  I thought.."DUH" every single thing I bought was ROUND!! lol  It cracked me up!  It looked like  I had just taken my groceries on"Mr. Toad's Wild Ride"!!!

Oh yeah and MaidofHonor,

I'm proud of you. Yeah you may have slipped but you did it responsibly with chicken and not a supersized hamburger or anything.
