[sunshineab622]

Hey everyone ! We are a group of low carbers from Memphis & surrounding areas. We come in here to chat & get to know each other. If you are from TN or MS feel free to jump on it to the conversations. We had our 1st low carb get together on April 3rd -Hopefully we will be able to have another get together in the summer.

Hey everyone! I hope your Easter holiday was good. Everything was pretty good here for us. I made a Ham & baked beans and DH some potato salad - I know the beans were high in carbs but also high in Fiber ... so I am drinking plenty of water this morning to clean myself ... hehe. I had one piece of choc. candy. other than that I did pretty good.

Arlene - did yall have any luck dress hunting for DD ?

Lynn, Selena & Denise. Hey girls! How was your weekend?

[Lylabean]

Good Morning! well for a few more minutes anyway...

The Easter weekend was really nice...we went to Easter vigil Saturday night...it was special...this marks our one year anniversary at Catholics...the couple that we sponsored who joined the church saturday night are really great. we've been through a lot of the rcia classes together so it was a joy to be their sponsors.

Sunday we went to my folks...mom made turkey and dressing...which we thought was kinda funny since after Easter vigil we could eat meat and no meat to eat!! hehehe..none of the nieces and nephews were there so nice hiding eggs...kind of a let down...but we did get some work done on our storage place out at my parents...so that was good...

tomorrow I'm off from work and we are going to the job fair on the coast....I'm excited about it.,,we would like to live in ocean springs, gulfport...somewhere in that area so this hopefully will be a good way to get the resume out there...I plan to do a quick update on my resume tonight...I didn't even take on the job fair in jackson.

Yesterday I did eat way too much sweets..my mom made chess squares...which are pure evil heheeh...cream cheese...cup of sugar...cake mix...good stuff...but since we can have meat again...it'll be easy to get back on track...i joked with joe that we are having steak every night this week hehehe...ofcourse that doesn't sound bad...hehe

guess i better get going...think i'm going to head out for lunch..

Hey Arlene, Denise and Selena!!

edited to say: Happy Birthday Alena!!

Hi Girls! Sorry I was gone all weekend...but I was so busy there wasn't a spare moment to get on the pc. My e-mail was jam packed after not checkingit for 3 days!

Adrienne...we found dresses for both girls...my dd's is candle-light with embroideryand crystals on the bodice, an inset on the lower part of the skirt and on the train. It is strapless with a matching shawl/stole which she will wear wrapped around her shoulders and a simple flip/tie at the back which hangs to the waist and also has a trim of crystals and embroidery...all done in tone on tone candle-light white.

My neices is also strapless but pure white with white floral embroidery on the bodice and a small amount at the front hem and on the train. She got a tiara and mid-back length veil as well.

We had a really great girls day out!

Sunday we went to my sisters...I ate a salad that had some green peas on it, but was good otherwise....until I got home and ate some carb options strawberry ice cream and a handful of sugar-free jelly beans...argh!

I left work early today cuz I have a sore throat, headache and a small fever. I feel a bit better now and did my homework for school tomorrow.

Lynn, are you really considering moving to the gulf-coast? I love it there...Jak and i have been there 2 times and love the seafood!!! Good luck at the job fair...both you and Joe. Congrats on the weight loss!

Adrienne...congrats on the 'nother lb lost! I still haven't had any drop in 10 days ...but I am determined to keep on keeping on no matter the stalls!!


Hugz til I talk to you all again,
Arlene

Hi Ladies,
sorry I haven't posted in awhile, this has been a busy weekend!!!
After reading the posts I am just glad you haven't forgotten about me.

I hope everyones Easter was good, we went to my dad's in Horn Lake Saturday, and the sun popped out just long enough to hide eggs , then the bottom fell out. But at least we were able to get a few pictures.
As for my woe, it went out the window, but I did get back on track today, I didn't do too bad, just a little easter chocolate,lol

Anyway, I hope everyone is good, and I will check back tommorrow,

Good nite my friends,
neesee

[sunshineab622]

I keep forgetting to check in everyday DUH!

I have been doing pretty good all week & the scale has not moved !!! still at 15 lbs. - Hopefully it will soon (TOM) . I have even turned down donuts (co. meeting) & pizza (my son wanted) this week I know if I cheat once It would be so hard to get back on track.

I have only exercised once this week - I must go again Tonight & Sunday to get my 3 days in this week.

Hey everyone !!!!!! nice to see you checking back in Denise & Selena .....

Have a great day ...

Today goals : Eat clean all day, atleast 100 oz of water, take all my vitamins, & exercise for 1 hour!

Hi Belles!!

It's tax day! I remember working at the tv station and we always had a live shot during the 10 o'clock from the post office...amazing how many people are mailing off that late!

This week has been...well a week! Joe has been working more nights which has thrown both of our schedules crazy...hopefully with the new manager coming in(an old friend of his) he'll be working more days and only days. That'll be nice....at least until something more permanent comes along.

We've been eating meat every day this week and it has been sooo good hehehe...we really need a grill and enjoy some of this nice weather and bbq some.

tonight is a big night of tv. the apprentice finale is tonight and i can't miss survivor and the american idol results...too much...can't they spread it out? hehehe...I really enjoyed AI this week. quentin tarantino was a great celebrity judge...it was nice to see a fan...his comments were great and not all flowerly and nice...hehehe..

I'll try and post later...have some web work to do tonight...sometime..may be a late night..

Lynn

[sunshineab622]

who will be kicked off of American Idol tonight? hummmm I hope it is Jon Peter Lewis or John Stephens..... Who do you want to go.

Well let me go fix some dinner ,watch AI & go exercise - I will check back in later

[queenlene]

YAY!! Finally one of the John's is gone! I was so stoked to see both John's and Diana at the bottom, though Diana is much better than those two...lol

As for Survivor....That alliance with Boston Rob is getting to out of hand....please let someone else win ammunity next week so they can breaK UP that alliance...tho it'd be better to get rid of Boston Rob than Amber, it would have more effect.

Lynn...how did your trip to the gulf go?

Good for you Adrienne...exercising!!

Selena just called me and asked how AI and Survivor went...her power has been out since she got home from work...so I gave her the low down..she's as happy as I that one of the Johns went...and was surprised that Kathy was the one voted off.

Hi Denise....I know what you mean about busy....I have about 30 mins a day to call my own...the rest belongs to work and school...and it's really getting to the wire now with tests and projects and such...I cannot wait til April 27 at 4 pm when it'll relax alot...only one final left after that on may the 4th!!


Have a great night girls!!

Huge Hugz,
Arlene

Good TGIF Belles,
how are you all today? Me , personally I am so glad its friday.

I sure was hoping for a different result on AI last nite, I was really wanting "carrottop" to go bye,bye. He just doesn't cut it.

Jay and I were discussing it last nite, and we both feel that its going to come down to Fantasia and Latoya in the end, my fav is Fantasia , that girl has got a voice.

Still doing ok on WOE, just not drinking enough water, got to do better with that.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day
neesee

[sunshineab622]

I am soooo happy it is Friday YAHHHHHHHHHH

I weighed this morning & have lost 1.5 this week woohooo for a total of 16.5 lost since Feb. I guess exercising twice this week has helped now if I could just get into the habit of doing it daily.

I was glad to see both Johns in the bottom 3 I like diana but I know she is not going to be the "american Idol" I figure it will end up being Latoya or Fantasia. I like Latoya better personally.

Do yall have any plans for this weekend ???

Tonight: relax, maybe exercise thats about it!

Saturday: 9:00 Andrews baseball "practice" game
going to go by & see my 88 yr old grandfather
clean house & wash some clothes before in-laws get here ... lol

Sunday: Going to my grannys since we did not go for Easter. It will be my aunt birthday on Monday so we will be celebrating that also. In-laws will be arriving from Michigan sometime Sunday. afternoon/night

I hope everyone has a great day!

[sunshineab622]

I have done ok today not great .... I did not eat any breakfast which got me way off track - I got andrew one of those small personal pan pizzas & I had 1/2 a slice I know BAD. I ate steak & green beans tonight with ALOT of water. we will see on Tues. If the scale shows a gain or not.

We spent the morning at the ball field. Can yall say LOBSTER NOSE or should I say RUDOLPH? lol I hope it will be tan tomorrow.

I got soooo mad a little while ago - I was putting something in the pantry & saw an empty box of girl scout cookies! Yup, my DH is SUPPOSED to be on this with me. He is such a liar. He was like um, that is not mine - I said who's is it? cause I sure know the ?!?|! it is not mine .... then he confessed - I hope he feels bad. He has lost 25 lbs since Feb 3rd. & I have done Great with eating & only a few cheats & he is losing all the weight. UGGGG makes me mad

Ok .... sorry I had to vent.

It was beautiful day I hope yall got to enjoy it.

Talk to yall later

[momnms]

Good Sunday Morning,

And don't apoloize about venting your , thats what were here for.

How is everyone else doing?

Have a wonderful day my friends,
ttyl,
neesee

[sunshineab622]

hey everyone ! We had a pretty good day. Went to my grannys for late easter dinner. lol It was good - Yes I cheated !!!!!!! almost everything there had some form of CARBS but that is ok. A few people told me how they could tell that I have lost weight & my pants were big for me - that made me feel good. After we left there we went by phillips old house so he could see his dog (his uncle is renting the house until it sells) Phillips parents are there working on the house and yard. They should be here tomorrow to spend a night or two with us.

I might have cheated alittle this week but I have exercised 3 times this week hopefully that will balance it all out.

Well I am heading to bed early tonight. Tomorrow is Monday. YUCK

Talk to yall later.
