Hello.............

Where is everyone?
Yesterday DS and I went to a college open house. Unfortunately it was a fast food breakfast and college boxed lunch. So yesterday was a bust for me. But today, I'm back on track.
I am also down 1 size....bought a pair of pants in a size smaller and actually fit into them. I even wore them to church today!!
I am so excited....I have been in the same size for 2 years!!

Hope you are all doing well!! Have a great week!!

doodles · 11-14-2004, 06:08 PM

I'm here and doing pretty well. Have hit a few small bumps, but keep on moving forward.
Mary, you left a vm on my phone. I owe you a call! You'll be hearing from me soon!
Have a great week everyone!

Hello everybody

Hope everyone is doing well. I've hit a few bumps which of course, is part of travelling on the road, but am down 3 lbs which puts me within reach of being below another 10# increment.

I owe much of this to my buddy Melody, who picked me up, dusted me off & "kissed my boo-boo to make it all better." Thanks again.

I had a small emotional issue yesterday and found myself in true addict mode. I was not hungry and didn't really even want to eat, yet found myself obsessing about food. I got thru the time, with distracting tasks, but it wasn't easy.

Take care everyone and have a good day.

395(?)/370/next goal 350

Confession time I went a little overboard with the carbs this weekend. I needed to let myself go. Ok maybe I threw myself into a gluttony of carbs.

I'm now back on track and my enthusiasm for this WOL has returned.

Painted Lady and Nikki.....
We all struggle. The best thing is, when we fall, we get up and get moving again. Good for you that you are back on track!

I think of it like a small child trying to walk. They get up, attempt to walk and then fall. They don't let it keep them down though, they get back up. They may be wobbly on their feet, but their determination out weighs their doubts!! We need to do the same thing.....let our determination out weigh our doubts, fears and shame.
That pep talk was more for me than for anyone else.

Hello to everybody,

Just checking in. Spent the last three days in the woods - so I got lots of exercise walking. Food has been good. Hope everyone has a good week.

Hi everyone!

This is my first time checking in on the weekly thread. I have been enjoying getting to know my partner.

Last week I passed up many tempting foods, but I found that I still was willing to take small cheats along the way. For instance, I ate one breadstick when we went out for lunch one day. It wasn't a total bust, and I didn't just blow the rest of the day because of that one breadstick, so I think I am making progress.

I weighed in at TOPS tonight and I gained a quarter of a pound. Bummer, but I'm determined to put aside the low carb treats this week and work on eating more natural foods. I also want to make sure I get my exercise in each day.

Is anyone else nervous about Thanksgiving coming up?

stilltryin · 11-15-2004, 07:54 PM

just checkin in...had a good weekend exercise wise.went for a nice walk at the park on saturday and went out to see a local dance band sunday night..danced all night..too much fun...
as for the eating i am doing ok at best...eating too much of the wrong things like cream cheese and nuts..not enough water....somebody kick me

lcq · 11-16-2004, 06:34 AM

Hi everyone,

I won't be on the boards much but I will be keeping in touch with my buddy Melissa..........hey Nancy I am going to put a link on the old thread to here........since it will be easier for people to find us.

Ok got to run.......work calls

Lisa

MelodyVAKS · 11-16-2004, 08:24 AM

I'm here and still keepin' on.

PaintedLady you are way too kind sweetie. Our talks help me as much as they do you...maybe more.

I won't have a lot of time today and tomorrow. I have my g-kids for the next two days. Then on Thursday I need to go to mom's so if you don't see me...don't fret. I'm just busy with life stuff.

PaintedLady send me an e hon and let me know how things are going. So glad you dropped to that next increment. That's the way to do it. One mini goal at a time.

Have a great day all,
mel

HeatherNicola · 11-16-2004, 02:02 PM

I have been a good buddy and I have duly kicked stilltryin!

Only because I know she will give as good as she gets! And that's what being a buddy is all about Being there for each other, when we are needed but also giving each other space if that is what's required. And the only way we can tell whether our buddy is crying out silently for help, or is wanting to be left alone is to get to know them.

Hi everyone,
I just keep plugging away one day at a time. Got to go to DD's today. Will check in later.

doodles · 11-18-2004, 04:41 PM

Checking in. How is everyone?

Dewdrop_In · 11-19-2004, 06:44 AM

I'm doing well, but not seeing much movement on the scale. I'm not letting that get me down though. It will happen.

My mindset has finally shifted to "low carb" again. I've been able to pass up junk food without the internal pity party.

manalu · 11-20-2004, 03:00 PM
