Here's to a better month in March

[JRSullivan]

Cool, a new month and a new thread to give us a fresh start.
Hope everyone is doing well, It looks like our challenge is running again, I hope we have some great ideas out there for challenges for us to do.

I am back on the meat and egg fast for another week then we will see I want to see 285 soon. I was down to 288 then I ate to many carbs over the weekend and I am showing water gain so I am trying to get rid of that.

HI Everyone hope you are all doing great, I will talk to you later.

[LowCarbsPleez]

Nell, you are doing so great

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO LOST WEIGHT that is everyone except me

From Nocarbs4me:

BIGGEST LOSER CHALLENGE FOR MARCH 1-15
Sorry I didn't get this posted yesterday. I wanted something that would get everyone posting again...so Simplemaw pm'd me some challenges she would like to see us use for the year. So this one came from her. Thanks Maw for submitting your ideas Here is just 1 of the challenges we will be doing.

This is for March 1-15. Then I will post another challenge for the last 2 weeks of March. Here is the first challenge...it is easy...very easy and will hopefully get our teams back to posting, supporting and motivating each other.

A big part of this challenge is teamwork. How active are you on your team thread? Give yourself 1 point for each day that you post on your team thread. If you make it 15 days with posting give yourself an extra 15 points for being supportive and motivating your team members.


LET'S HAVE A GREAT MONTH TEAMS!!!!!!!
If you have any questions please pm me or post here with them.

[LolaR]

DANG...didn't post yesterday but at least I can still get 14 points. I will try to post every day.

FYI, everyone has gotten over there colds <except me> and yesterday both kids threw up all day!!! OMG, so now I am still taking an antibiotic for ear congestion and sinus (on my 12 day) AND my kids are sick!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

[JRSullivan]

LolaR I read on the other thread that they are giving us March 1st because the post wasnt out until March 2nd so everybody gets that 1 point.
I thought it was a great idea, this should get everyone motivated again. I think our team will do great on this one because we are all posting everyday pretty much.

How is everyone doing out there.

I am still trying to get rid of the water weight gain and tomorrow will be my last day on meat fast for a little while, I miss my veggies, never thought I would say that.

Well good luck to Team Meltdown in March, WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!

I am soooo sleepy. Havent done much today. Just *yawn* sleepy. Night all.

[LowCarbsPleez]

Hello Team MeltDown,

I am feeling a little better yesterday and today. Tonight is weigh in night. I'll let you know how that goes later.

Lola, I'm sorry you and your kids are sick. Hope you feel better soon. I generously shared my sickness with my DH He's about 3 days behind me so he should start feeling better soon (he didn't get as sick as me).

Nell, I'm glad they are giving us march 1st free, cause I didn't post that day. I posted on the night of the 28th and then on the second

Maria, hope you got a good nights rest.

Tatortot, hope everything is going okay with you and your husband.

[JRSullivan]

Boy it sure sounds like we have way to many sick people here and our families to.
I hope everyone get well soon.
I am just pooped I have been running here there and every where for the last two days, so no exercise either, I will be doing that again Friday for sure. Then it is back on track for me.

We had a pretty big scare in the town my kids go to school in.
they had 3 abduction attempts on Wednesday, the kids were walking to school, and he approached three differant girls. so Thursday they had security beefed up and the kids couldn't play outside on Thursday, they don't have school Friday so they are all hyped about that. I am holding at 290 right now, I did have a carb supper, still on plan just had 30 carbs instead of only about 10 which is where I have been for about 2 1/2 weeks.

I am back on track now and plan to stay there for a while.

I hope everyone else is doing great and I will talk to all of you later. Keep smiling

Hello all. Doing good here today. Got the best news ever. Had to take my boxer girl down to the vet cardiologist for an ultrasound cause she was losing weight and had a heart murmur and the cardiologist said she had the best boxer heart she has ever seen and that is saying a lot.

[LowCarbsPleez]

Nell, How scary. We had a few abduction attempts in a nearby city about a month ago. It also was near a school when children were walking home. Yay to holding at 290.

Maria, glad your boxer baby is okay How's Tatortot??

Well my weigh in was great. I lost 8 pounds this week, but definately don't recommend losing weight this way So my weight is back at 292

Well I'd better get to bed.

me and dh are taking mil out shopping tomorrow for the first time since she has been in the nursing home everything goes good. We are also taking my grandmother with us, because MIL really likes my grandma so I hope that will make things easier. My MIL has dementia and spends money unnecessarily. But she said she needs shoes and I agreed to take her shopping so she can try the shoes on.

I'll check back in tomorrow.

To everybody, have a great low carb day

[Tatortotl]

Well looks like everyone is doing better.
I've been drinking my water pretty good ,but that's about it tho.You know I feel like I'm on a roller coaster.I really get into exerciseing & boy do I feel good.I think it has something to do with the weather.It's been raining on & off & cold.Also my DH hasn't been on his best.I think I'm just tired trying to do everything,
It's late,so will talk later.
I think I heard my DH in the liveing room,I think he got himself another snack,again. No,he is eating ice.
Now try & have a good night everyone or have a good morning everyone who sees this tomorrow.

[LolaR]

Gawds...I suck. Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I thought the stomach flu was over but I was wrong....the boy started up again yesterday morning. No excuse. I feel like crap because I haven't exercised but one time this week, so I am headed to the gym right now.

Sigh............Sometimes life is easier than other times. I guess I will keep plugging away and eventually things will get better. I mean it isn't like I will not be able to hear out ofmy ear for the rest of my life *stupid ear congestion is STILL Holding on it is throwing my life off balance* and surely the kids HAVE to quit throwing up eventually!!! I really think I just need to go to bed and sleep for a week but I have such a big project at work...and dog gone it I NEED to exercise....so off I go. Wish me luck I can do thiis I can do this I can do this.....

(Lola forges ahead....ooooops put some clothes on first.... the Ymca frowns on working out in your night gown!!!!)

[LowCarbsPleez]

[JRSullivan]

You guys make me crack up, I have been having a frustrating day, so I thought I would stop in and check the posts.


LolaR, I know how you feel, I havent gotten much exercise either this week, I will be tonight and this weekend and back on schedule next week.

I think I heard my DH in the liveing room,I think he got himself another snack,again. No,he is eating ice.

I need that laugh.

Maria, that is great news about your Boxer.

Rene, good luck on the shopping trip

I am doing good so far still stuck at 290 probably because of lack of exercise and I have been eating pork rinds more often then I should be. I will lay off of those this week.
Catch you all later.

[Tatortotl]

[LolaR]

Hey all ... Happy Saturday. No one has puked in my house for over 24 hours so I am happy about that. Hope everyone here is doing well.

Since it is Saturday...I have lots of cleaning to do. Take care all.

[LowCarbsPleez]

Lola, glad the is getting better I have cleaning to get done too.

The shopping trip went okay. She got mad at us for following her around too closely in the store. Then we went out to eat (buffet) and let her go on her own and she panicked. She came up to me and asked are you Rene'?? She said she couldn't find anyone she knew and she didn't know where our table was. We were up at the buffet too, just not in the same area. She stayed at the table the rest of the time and had her son bring her stuff back. But she said she enjoyed herself, so that was good.

Hello everyone, I'll check back in later.

[LolaR]

Rene, to you and DH. That has got to be hard!

[JRSullivan]

Hi Everyone, I have terrible news, I went off plan today!!!!!!!!!!!!
It started with KFC I had the Buffet but the crunchy topping on the chicken looked so good I couldnt help myself and then when I got home from shopping I went and did my exercise
But when I was done and making supper the Girl Scout cookies my DH brought home Were calling my name so I ate some of those and then I made them Chili for supper and I always make Egg salad sandwiches to go with it. And I ended up eating that to. I feel so stuffed and bloated right now, It serves me right!!!!!!!!!!! I promise tomorrow and for the rest of this Month I will behave, It just upsets me now because I lose all those points. Well next time I will think twice before I react to something so stupid!!!!!!!!!

LolaR I am glad to here everyone is feeling better
Rene, it really is hard to please someone that was use to being so independant before Glad to here MIL had a good time other wise.

Georgia, you are right we all need to get back on track but now more then anyone I have to for sure.

Maria, Hi, Hope everything is going well with you.

[LolaR]

Nell,

Ok girl, drink lots of water and get back at it! I am so proud of you for exercising anyways. I know what you mean about the crispy chicken. When I buy long johns for the family I almost always have to have the crunchies. Now, before I even go to get them food I eat something myself and that way I can control it better!

[JRSullivan]

Hi everyone, Today is back on track and hoping I don't have cravings to bad, I am going to do meat and egg fast for a while again to get myself under control.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day today
KUTGW everyone and I will talk to all of you later.

[LowCarbsPleez]

I have to post now, or won't get to. I am in the middle of cleaning up my room.

Lola thanks

Nell, thanks Good for you getting right back on track

Hello Maria and Tatortot

[LolaR]

Ok, another whiney post. I am sick with the stomach flu now and I haven't been able to hear out of my left ear for 17 days. I am still taking an antibiotic in hopes that it will clear up but that ends in 4 days and on top of that I ate crackers today so that I could even take my medicine (you have to take with food) Actually, crackers and diet clear pop is all I have had today. My husband has left for a ball game so I have the kids to handle on my own and I just want to cry because I feel like I am never going to be ok. I know this isn't true, I know that by tomorrow I will feel better but I also know I still won't be able to hear out of my left ear and I am just plain TIRED of it! ALSO, I have to prepare tonight for a big Training that I need to present tomorrow (3 hours long) Woo hoo, yippeee, hope I don't puke on everyone and that they only ask questions on my left side so I can hear them.

You could say I am not having a good day. I won't goes as far as saying that I am not having a good life because I know that it isn't true but right now as I sit and cry, it is exactly how I feel.

Thank you for letting me vent. Bet you all wish they didn't have that post everything challenge going on now.....if it weren't for that I would have avoided posting all together!

Hope everyone is doing well.

[LowCarbsPleez]

Lola,

The computer was still on so I came in here to check real quick.

Big Hugs I'm sorry you aren't feeling good now.

for your presentation tomorrow

Glad you posted, it will get better, talk to you tomorrow

It is my hope that everyteam member will post daily to help get the motivation and excitement back into the challenge. You all are doing a fantastic job and I can't wait to see your results on the 15th. I will also let you know that since there are sooo many posts on the challenge board that when I need to let a team know of a new challenge or how to post stats, I will be posting on each team's thread. That way maybe everyone will see it then. If you have any questions please pm me.
