Um....weighing in ...yeah not so much!!! Guess I better bite the bullet and do that tomorrow to see the damages!

Plus we were all sick, I am still sick, and so I haven't been exercising at all either

Yeah, I just weighed in...it wasn't pretty I'm back to 198...eek! Sorry to hear you are sick Lotus. Our whole family was sick Christmas eve and Christmas. No fun at all!

Hope you all have a good New Years! I'm ready for a new year and fresh start!

Good luck with the sick kids. That is only made worse by sick DH

2 days of restaurants, and tomorrow will be another. Trying for damage control, and worry about scale next week........there always seems to be another week, and there is a point where added stress from eating would be worse than 1 lb......

[lotus33]

I hate this time of year!!!!!!!!! Well not really but my diet and eating hates this time of year!!!!


Still have yet to step on that scale! Actually not for being afraid so much as being so busy! By the time I think of it it's too late!


The last of the parties are officially over now though so its time to put the focus back on me!!!! LOL that sounds really egotistical when its written out!

Understood!!!!!! And not egotistical.

[lotus33]

Thanks!!!


I am sure you posted it, but did you hit your goal for the year?? Any goals for '13 or just seeing where it takes you?

[lotus33]

Beachmom hows everyone at your house now??? Feeling better I hope!!!

We are all better but I still have drainage Other than that all is well

[QUOTE=lotus33;16167440] Thanks!!!

Ended up at 185.5. I haven't set a goal yet. I hadn't been able to decide if I want it hard to reach, or something I know I could reach.

I am going with 170. Should be doable, but not easy in my life.

[lotus33]

Excellent!

Can't wait to see you hit it!!!!!


Not sure what my goals are....I would like to make some good habits, weight wise I am not sure

What is the plan??????? It always makes me more accountable if I admit to my plan.

I am sticking with CAD for another six months. I am down about 1 lb per month since I have been staying on plan. If I could be into the 170s by the end of tax season----that would be a miracle.

[lotus33]

The *plan* we will see how long this goes! L and D are not a prob...its the B thats still a...well *b*itch

B-just coffee and baby steps on the green smoothies
L-LC soup
D-whatev as long as its the 1/3:~1/3~1/3 thing

Made a huge ol pot of soup tonight for the week!

Really want the smoothie thing to work but oh my!!! I need to tweak a recipe that will work!

Thats why I bought Atkins shakes today. That gives me BF for 3-4 mornings, and eggs or bacon on the others. I did get 3 lb bacon today too, so I can do 4 slices and tea or diet pop for a breakfast.
But I am also trying to quit diet pop. Only had 2 since Dec 31st... It hasn't been as tough as I thought, but scale hasn't gone down with the change.

What is the lc soup? I haven't been able to come up with one. A fairly LC chili, but nothing else. Was thinking of trying a wild rice soup made with almond flour.......

[lotus33]

wow thats awesome!!! I would say if you only had 2 that you have quit!!!

Wait awhile...everything with any sort of AS in it will taste like poison!

[lotus33]

Another thing I notice is that I am actually quenching my thirst. Over the holidays I had pop and went right back to being constantly thirsty! Weird!

They say its a diuretic but when your drinking it all the time you don't notice.

I am finding out that it isn't as hard to pass up pop as I thought it would be. (Except the tea at Long John Silvers was awful today so I refilled with diet pepsi)

Hey... what an exhausting week! My son broke his thumb and my sweet 1 year old has turned into a teething monster...poor girl

Lotus - I'm right there with you, my weight crept up over the holidays...ugh. I've been up and down since the new year. Trying to watch my sodium more now.

Karen - How are the Atkins shakes? I've been tempted to try them.

Karen - How are the Atkins shakes? I've been tempted to try them.

They were on sale at Walmart..........about $1 per shake. And I can easily spend more than that on other food. 6 strips of bacon, for example.
So I compare them to other shakes. The chocolates I can drink easily. don't have to choke them down. And I am losing a little again, if I have those to fill in gaps when life doesn't give me time to plan (or execute the plan)

[iakaren]

I stepped on the scales 3 times this morning. Down to 183.5. Yesterday was 187. Must have been LOTS of salt in LJS on Sunday!!!

[lotus33]

Beachmom~ oh send a hug to the little one with the broken thumb! And one to the teething baby and one for YOU!!

I remember going through a lot of orajel! And frozen toys, and teething biscuits, and tylenol, and having my finger chewed on

[lotus33]

Karen! Holy Crap!!!!!





no more LJS for you missy!

Teething can be painful for the adults And sorry for the broken thumb, too.

Thanks! Yep..for some reason my finger seems to be her favorite thing to chew on - ouch!

I'm at 196.2, almost where I was right before Christmas!

The cream cheese muffins and soup are working out great! Easy! Done!


I am also trying to start drinking water at the top of every hour just so I remember to drink it!

Great job Lotus and Karen!!
