need a LC Buddy

[Carolina Girl]

I messed up big time this week-end. I have been off plan all week-end. I will have to lose whatever I gained again. I haven't weighted yet but I know I will be up. I'm not going to beat myself up. I'm pretty good at jumping back on after a blow out. I haven't had many during my journey but I've had a few. I hate having too relose pounds, but I'll do it.

More later.

Eating too much low carb stuff this last couple of days. My weight is going up and down 1-3lbs. Haven't had any water yet today. I am happy that I have managed to stay away from all the chips the kids have been eating this last week. I have real problems saying no the chips of any sort even flavours I don't particularly like.

[chicky]

my downfall is bread (I could eat a loaf without even knowing it) and popcorn ( I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner). I just have to be aware and think long and hard before I put it in my mouth. A slip up is just that a slip up, just a blip in the radar. Pick yourself up dust yourself off and start all over again

stay strong ladies

[Carolina Girl]

I didn't gain from my week-end binge. I couldn't believe it. I jumped right back on and that is what made a differnce (I think). Or maybe the gain will show up tomorrow. We'll see. I'll be especially good all day!

I'm only losing about 3 pounds a month now. I guess (know) that exercise would speed that up. School is out in a couple of weeks and I intend to start at that time.

Wore a size 10 shorts on Saturday. It felt great! My goal is to fit into any size 10. A few more pounds and I think I will be there.

Have a great week everyone.

[chicky]

Carolinagirl....size 10 thats fantastic, the only thing on me thats size 10 are my feet!!!

Keep up the good work!, good for you for getting right back on plan

Hi kids,
I hope everyone had a great weekend. I did pretty well except for Sunday. I went to see my brother who lives 3 hours away and I didn't make very good choices on the road.

I resisted 5 different kinds of pie at my MIL's barbeque last night and homemade ice cream too.

Let's all have a great week!

[chicky]

Hey ladies

Travelling in a car is tough, so many portable junk food type things to nosh on. Good for you for resisting all that pie, lucky for me I hate pie, love the filling hate the crust! Now homemade ice cream thats another matter, you're stronger than me...congrats!

Its tough to resist all this stuff, I think we don't give ourselves enough credit. We're awesome

Have a fantastic day all you awesome Gals, be strong, I'll check in later

Nice to hear all those encouraging words my ladies. I think being out of routine whether it is a car trip or whatever, makes it so much more difficult for all of us. I did wind up gaining 1 and 1/2 pounds. I knew it was too good to be true that I would not gain. Oh well, I'm back on track now. It will be gone in a few days.

Having all of you here really helps me. Thanks to all of you.

Hey Girlies, Happy Wednesday

hope everyone is good and that you're drinking your water, getting some exercise and eating low carb. It's a beautiful un-rainy BC day today, I just got back from walking the Puggies, they will not leave me alone until they get a walk in....nothing like a dog to keep you on the straight and narrow exercise wise. Lots to do around the house in prep for putting it on the market so lots of reasons to work up a sweat!!
Have a great day, I'll check in later

[Carolina Girl]

Wednesday has been a bad day for me. Work issues so I gave in and ate candy. What is wrong with me? I was just so stressed and the candy was there. No excuse just a bad, bad, choice. I'll get over it. I hope. I'm so close. Why do I keep messing up lately??

Hope all of you have done better than me today.

[momof3heathens]

I have been on a low carb binge for several days now. Finally ate everything in the house so I am back on track. Still struggling to drink the water. It is too hot for me. I hate the heat. The kids are a moaning and groaning, the cats are just laying around and the house looks like a natural disaster hit(sadly this isn't an isolated case). Guess what I don't give a rats patoey.

[Jazlyn]

Hi everyone,

I really need some encouragement or something. My 20th anniversary is in a month and I have been trying to lose weight for it for a good 6 months and I'm at the same weight or a little higher.

I am currently in a size 18 and I bought a size 16 pair of capris to wear for my anniversary (we are getting the honeymoon suite at a hotel in the mountains) If I work really, really hard do you think I can lose a size in a month?

All of this pressure I am putting on myself is making me want to eat the fridge.

[chicky]

Jazlyn, stop thinking about it and just go about your business. Eat right, drink lots of water and exercise and if you're in those capri's in a month fantastic...if your not well you're still doing fantastic so don't beat yourself up. I bet you look sssooo much better than when you started LC so keep that in mind.

Momof3, this weather sucks!!! I'm with you I don't like the heat, I was meant to live somewhere where there is snow on the ground most of the year or where there were only 3 season (no summer). Mix up some Crystal Lite, put on the fan, tie up and gag the kids and relax.

I'm so excited my daughter graduates from HS this year and her Prom is tonight. I'll be busy so I will touch base tomorrow

Be good, think positive, happy thoughts tata!

[momof3heathens]

Congrats to your dd. Hope it is lovely occasion for all.

Well apparently I didn't eat all the food in the house prior to last post as I managed to find some more unfortunately. Oh well am drinking some more water so that is good. I am a little crampy feeling this week so just finding things more irritable than my usual on edge personality.

[Carolina Girl]

I'm not much use to anyone tonight. I'll check in tomorrow.

[Carolina Girl]

Today has been a much better LC today for me thus far. Hope I can stay on track now. More later.

Hey Ladies

Hope everyone is well. DD's Grad went well all the girls looked beautiful and the boys very handsome. Commencement this week thwn she's officially graduated. I'm off this week as well so i'll check in often

Dawn

[Jazlyn]

Hi Dawn...my son graduated this year too. He is my oldest. I didn't realize I would be so emotional when they called his name.

I need to get back on the treadmill. I am going to say it...I HATE exercize. Maybe I'm just lazy but I hate, hate, hate it. My husband is an exercizing fool. He runs, hikes, mountain bikes, snowboards..you name it. I want to get in shape so we can spend more time together (especially since I think he is going through a midlife crisis right now) but I just put it off.

I took my 14yo daughter to the amusement park (she has a season pass) and my 7yo son to day camp and my 18 yo son is working so I have the house to myself.

Dawn, what kind of work do you do? I worked for the IRS for almost 20 years but I got on perminant disability a year ago. I haven't missed it a bit lol.

I haven't been doing so well eating wise. I do good all day and then I want a snack at night. I'm just not going to have anything that will tempt me in the house anymore.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

[chicky]

Hey Jazlyn

Brookes Commencement is tomorrow night then it's all over, thats my last one in HS, thats hard to believe. I'm a Manager in a Call Center for a Bank, I've been with the Company for about 22 years now. If I won the Lottery I would quit in a heartbeat and not miss the politics but I would miss the people. The $$ is good, the hours are good and the benefits are good so I guess I'll be here till I retire. I've been doing good food wise, I have been busy this past week so not much time to obsess about food!

[Jazlyn]

So far, so good today. I have everything that I'm going to eat all planned out. I do much better when I do that.

It's raining like crazy today and I have a bunch of errands to run. Wouldn't you know it. But my flowers could use some good rain so it's all good.

I'm going shopping for more LC food. I need to be fully stocked so I'm not tempted with anything else.

[momof3heathens]

Last night I made some decisions to follow through on this week. So far so good> I have 4 glasses of water in me so far and have ate breakfest which I am really bad about because I usually skip it.

My stepsister called me from Calgary last night. Holy that was a lot of thunder and lightening I could hear in the background. Let my dd listen for a sec too as she has hardly ever heard anything so fast and furious.

[chicky]

Hi Ladies

Good to hear from you both, what a change in weather!! The garden can use the rain though so I guess we can live with it for a while. We've been lucky with weather for a while, not the usual amount of BC liquid sunshine.

I also do best if I have food on habd that I can eat, eggs boiled, chicken breasts cooked and sliced, cheese strings, bags of salad. The less I have to think the more likely I am to stick to plan. Well take care, I think I'll watch the hockey game

[Carolina Girl]

I've been bad all week. Testing stress is killing me. I'm up 2 1/2 lbs. Help!!!
I didn't get home until 9 pm last night. It was 6 tonight. My last day until summer break is Tuesday. Maybe I can do better then. I'm a mess. Hope all of you are doing better than me.

More later.

[momof3heathens]

12 glasses of water today and counting. I hate water too.

[chicky]

Hey Carolinagirl

suck it up darlin!!! 2.5lbs is nothing at all, you can get beyond this, I believe in you:

[momof3heathens]

I am up and down continually too. What is really weird yet cool to me at least is with this woe even if the scale says I am up sometimes my clothes fit better than they did at the lower weight.

[Jazlyn]

Hi girls,

My SIL had a stroke last night. She is only 52. Her left side is paralized (sp?) Please keep her in your prayers.

I am going to stick to plan today. I HAVE to. I keep cheating. Last night I had a cafe mocha. If I can just make it through 3 or 4 days when the cravings go away then I'm good to go.

It's raining and yucky here. My flowers are happy though. I already have my house clean and I'm all fixed up with no where to go. Maybe I'll take my daughter to the mall.

[chicky]

Jazlyn I'm so sorry about your SIL, I'm not much of a prayer person but she is in my thoughts. Don't cheat!!! Take your daughter to the Mall and check out all the fantastic clothes you'll be able to wear when you get to your goal weight. The older I get the more I think about the health risks attached to being obese, so many things seem to be linked right back to excess fat on your body, think about that think about your kids and then that mocha won't seem to tasty.

Have a fantastic day

[momof3heathens]

Sorry to hear of your SIL. Hope things go better soon.

[Jazlyn]

Hi girls,

I had a brownie last night *hangs head in shame* I just can't seem to get with the program. I feel so guilty, then that makes me feel pressured, then I want to eat.

We went to see my SIL last night. She is a lot
