Hi Mandy, I love your attitude toward going healthy! It sounds like you have
made and researched how to lose your weight in a healthy way. I saw this recipe
on line, it sounded so weird that I decide to try it. To my surprise it was
really good. Give it a try: Pancakes serving for one....1/2 c of instant
oatmeal, 1/4 cup of cottage cheese, 2 eggs, a dash of vanilla, cinnamon and
nutmeg. Put in blender till mixed well and cook. Yes it sounds weird but I
promise it was good. Good Eating from Texas!V.

Hi everyone, I just joined several lists and wanted to introduce myself!I am
Mandy Landon and I am 27. I have gained a lot of weight due tosome family
problems, and of course, just plain over eating! I want toloose 100 to 120
pounds and keep it off! So, I have joined some liststo help me through
encouragement, ideas, and motivation. I am marriedand we have two daughters and
one boy. The girls are 3 and 5 and myson is 1 and half. I want to set a good
example for them. None of mychildren have any weight problems and I want to
insure we keep it thatway. I did not gain much weight with the first two, but,
wow, my sonput almost 60 pounds on me. At least I am blaming it on him.
HeheAnyway, thanks for letting me join the list. I most likely will justlurk and
learn, except for joining in on any "list activities". I amreally serious about
these 100 pounds! I am not in a hurry though. AllI want to lose is about 1 to 2
pounds a week, so I have given myself ayear to lose those 10 bowling balls. I
just received my copy of the"Steak and Sex Diet" book on CD. Just for fun I
ordered it severalweeks ago, and gave it to my husband, who needs to lose about
60pounds. He got a kick out of it when he opened it on Christmas Eveafter the
kids were in bed. He promises to follow it, even the romancepart. I ordered the
tame version, but, of course, he wants be to getthe not so tame version. We will
see how it goes first! Has anyonefollowed it?Oh, I live in Iowa, and so it is a
little hard to do any exercisingout doors for a while, or at least for me. I do
not like to go out into the cold! Well my husband and I going to start on losing
thisweight first thing in the morning, so tonight we are cleaning out
therefrigerator and cupboards. I am going to donate a lot of the stuff toa
senior center.We are going to watch carbs and fats, and start exercising
everyday.My husband says that he is going to follow the steak and sex diet
forsure. Hehe I am not sure about it yet, but I will begin to look at theday to
day suggestions and recipes. I have read the first chapter andit was not quite
like the name suggests. Not as much emphasis on thesex as I was afraid of! Of
course, with the kids we could use somehelp in that area, too. My husband told
me Christmas that if we makethe effort to change our eating habits, he will get
us an ellipticalmachine. Has anyone used them and how do they help? Do you have
topurchase an expensive one? I looked at some at Sears day beforeyesterday, and
they looked like they were made well, and we have aSears card. Has anyone on the
list used a Sear's machine?I know, I know, eating right and exercise, is the
key, right? We arenot really going to follow any "regular" diet plan, unless we
find onewe like by joining these lists. We have agreed not try any fad diet,but
instead just quit eating as much, and change when we eat and ofcourse, start
moving more. Thanks again for letting me join, and I will be learning through
yourposts and suggestion for sure.Mandy
