[tannie]

Please join us in losing some weight in 2007, even if it is 10 lbs that is better than nothing, we can do this together

I'm feeling dehydrated so I'm sitting here drinking ice water. As I think back it has been about 2 full days since I have only had a sip of water here and there and I'm feeling the effects of it. I've got to remember to drink. I'm taking water with me today, even in Church I will be sipping.

I took my boys to a kid's health fair yesterday, it was nice. I they free back to school exams and shots. That saved me $60, if I would've taken them to the doctor to get it done. They also had free lunch

I ended up missing the seminar that my doctor was doing yesterday, because of the health fair, oh well I'm sure he will be having another one. My weight is still the same 216.0 which is good since I had a few chips and a half of a hot dog yesterday.

Anyone mind a newbie joining? I weigh 273 right now and would like to get down to 130 in the end. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less. When I get near that weight, then I will see how I look and then not worry about the weight so much. I just need lots of support. I've tried doing this on my own too many times and failed just as many. I decided that I needed people to talk to about this because my friends just don't get it. Especially the low-carb woe. They like to tell me how I am going to make myself sick, so I just don't tell them anything about it anymore.

[PoorAggieMom]

Tannie - Why did you let yourself get dehydrated? You need a whippin' for that! Seriously, I hope the water yesterday helped and you're feeling better today.

B&K'sMom -

Okay, this weekend just proved what I suspected last week. I will not lose by simply low carbing. I have to follow K/E. It's the only way I'm going to lose. I had dry sliced beef at the barbeque place on Saturday and some of the chocolate concoction yesterday and I'm up 2 pounds this morning. What makes me mad is, I didn't cheat...both were acceptable and low carb! I'm annoyed now...so back to K/E I go.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! The sun actually came out yesterday, and later it started pouring, even with the sun shining!

Have a marvelous Monday, ladies!

Hi all,


Tanie -- hope that the water helped and you aren't feeling so dehydrated

Welcome Acura and B&K's mom. I'm pretty new to the group myself.

PoorAggie'smom -- I have a hard time with bbq places, often times they have a dry rub that contains sugar on their meats


I had a really good weekend well as far as eating goes all the other stuff not so much.

We're getting the house on the market... So I'm so busy its just insane, I would love for things to slow down just a little bit. So Saturday our friends came over and they helped us move furniture and get the place ready. We bought them lunch at Qdobas afterwards since its one of their favorite places. Its a hard place for me to stay on plan but I did good, I got a chicken taco salad without a bowl

Sunday we brought the boys to the sitter worked more and we went to O'Charley's for diiner to reward ourselves and I got a steak it was good, two meals out and both Atkins friendly

So I'm done with week one of induction and I'm down 8 lbs, I'm really happy with results

[PoorAggieMom]

GG - Congrats on the 8 pound loss! Have you ever watched that show called Sell This House? If not, here's the link. Maybe you could get some tips to use in staging your house to sell. I love that show! Sell This House

Jamie - Thanks so much for the encouragement! Right back at 'cha! I switched back to K/E today. I ate low carb all weekend (no cheats), but I'm having better results with Kimkins because it restricts calories and fat also. Hopefully I'll be back to losing soon!

[paulabob]

I just wanted to pipe in and say I think my latest mini-stall is over. Finally down below siggy weight, and I think the protein shakes this weekend really helped.

I'm 2 pounds away from the big 50...I hope it happens this week! I'd love to see the 170s this month as well!

Hey Gals- checking in after my fun weekend. I know I promised to be on plan, but I didn't do it. I did great on Friday- went to a pampered chef party (did not eat any of the goodies, and there were a bunch- OR drink any alcohol). I volunteered to drive when me and the gals went out after the party, so I did really well staying on plan Friday. Saturday I did ok until the afternoon. I had eggs for breakfast and 2 slices of bacon(not really the best meat choice, just what was available since I stayed with my BFF). Saturday afternoon I had 3 pieces of halibut with light breading from Burgerville (24 carbs) and then on Saturday evening we had a BBQ, that was supposed to be just a small get together- and ended up being a pretty big party. So I drank wine at the bbq, and had a small handful of chips. Sunday morning a little hungover and I had to find something fast to keep me from getting too sick, so I grabed another handful of chips. So I wasn't too terribly bad, but not as good as I wanted. I weighed in this morning at 197- same as Friday WHEW! glad I didn't gain a bunch. I drank a lot of water yesterday and I am back on K/E today and drinking my H2O, so hopefully I will not gain. I don't feel hungry like I got out of ketosis, it is so wierd, I drank a lot of wine, but didn't eat too many taboo foods. Maybe that helped. I am glad to hear things are going well for you Jamie, and yaaay! newbies! Welcome to our challenge, and remember, even if you mess up we are here for you- this is a VERY supportive group!
hey my buddy Miss M- I see you are continuing to loose! Yay you! keep it up!
Tannie- You are doing awesome this month- I see you are down a few more pounds! keep it up girl!
Yahoo Paula- out of your stall- congrats on your losses too!
Dream- how was the reunion? I just had my 10 year (2 years ago)- it was a blast!
Happy LC day everyone- I have some chores to do, but I will be back later...

[Jeannie1970]

Good afternoon everyone. I am going to try it again.

Bfast-nothing
Lunch-Salad greens, cooked chicken sprinkle of cheese and bacon bits with lcarb ranch dressing.

You girls are doing so well!

I'll be back later.

Jeannie

[PoorAggieMom]

I've tried to log in and post several times, but by the time I read all the posts, I got busy again...like now! So congrats to those who lost, and to those who didn't (like me), we'll get there soon!

[PoorAggieMom]

I can't believe I forgot to tell you the best part! I tried on some shorts on Saturday that have been in the back of my drawer. I pulled them out just to check, and they fit! No laying down on the bed, pulling the zipper up with a coat hanger, rolling off of the bed so I could stand up, and not breathing the whole time! I zipped them right up! I haven't worn these shorts in THREE YEARS!!! Yea me!!! I pulled out some other things, and although they were o-kay, I still have a few more inches to lose until I'm comfortable enough to wear them to work. Now tell me why the scales were up 2 pounds this morning? Stupid scales!

[mycattaz]

WTG!!!! Pooraggie... you are doing fantastic!!!!!

[Jeannie1970]

Thats great news PoorAggie..I have so many clothes that I can't get into right now. That has to be a wonderful feeling. KUTGW!

[PoorAggieMom]

Thanks! Even though the scales were up, it's just what I needed to get motivated!

Hi Everyone:

I couldn't check in this morning cause I was on jury duty. I got kicked off late this afternoon because I am a paralegal. No one wants a paralegal on their jury for a civil matter. They picked all surrounding me, and I was left sitting on the bench. Ha Ha.

I'm still weighing in the same. At least no gain. I walked 12 miles this weekend and then tons more. I thought I might drop but NO!

So congrats Jamie and Divine on your losses.

Jennay, so glad you didn't gain. I'm still paying for my mistakes.

Aggie, it was my 30-year high school reunion. What a blast!!!!!!. I had such a good time. Not many of my close friends came, but that didn't seem to matter. People sure do change. I weigh about 30 lbs more than I did in high school so people told me gosh, you haven't changed a bit. Little do they know I just dumped 70 lbs.

Welcome Geekgirl, B&K'smom and Acura. We are a rockin awesome group and we absolutely love it when new people join.

Have a great day everyone.
