*♥* Friday Check-in - Feb 10*♥*

Yankee Belle · 02-10-2006, 07:18 AM

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is doing well today. I was crazy busy yesterday with no time to post. I'll probably be off the hook busy today, too. I'm planning a sudden trip back home to Detroit. I'll be leaving Sunday and returning next Sunday. I hope that I can stick to plan but more than likely I'll come back saying I gained 5 pounds from Grandma's cooking!

TracyinKS · 02-10-2006, 07:23 AM

TGIF!

I'm happy to report that I woke up to a loss this morning! Tonight will be the big test of picking up the dbf's boys and eating at a buffet... say a prayer that I'm able to stay strong all weekend! getting ready to eat my hb eggs for breakfast

Melsh · 02-10-2006, 08:00 AM

Good morning to all!! Hope you have a GREAT weekend. I have a good feeling about today so let's hope it lasts!

Theresa Hope you have a SAFE and very fun trip. It will be tempting to eat everything I am sure, but you can do it...and if you do indulge a little just get back to the beach when you return!!

Tracy Wooohooo on the loss!! That's awesome...

I'll keep you in thoughts and prayers for a great SB weekend!

To everyone who posts after I do!! Hello...

Hi All!
I've started day five on SB and am so proud of my self!

Not one bite of "wrong" food has crossed my lips! I'm not totally sure I've always made the best choices with how much and how often, but the scale is my friend! Down 8 pounds!
My DH is over his "carb withdraw crankies" and says he's satisfied with the food he's getting. He isn't as obsessive about weighing himself as I am, or isn't tipping his hand if he has been.
I really felt "lighter" yesterday. Kind of strange term I know, not really that my clothes are looser, just less full and bloated (horrible image there). Hubby said he felt his clothes were just as tight.
I worked at a weight loss clinic years ago and kind remember 10 pounds is when folks saw a difference in their clothes and about 20 is when others started to notice. Is that about what you all experience?
Have a great day and super weekend!

Hi Beachers!
We went to my favorite restaurant last night called Todai - it's an all-you-can-eat seafood and sushi restaurant.

I stuck with sashimi, some rolls (with rice) and had some oudon (sp?), thick noodles in a broth. I was by no means overly full and am not expecting much of a loss this week, but we'll see.

Have a great day everyone!

Hi and TGIF to all!

This is a drive by...proposal due out today, so no time to write much! I'll be back later for a proper check in!

Be good to yourselves and have fun on the Beach today!

anj · 02-10-2006, 09:08 AM

Hi,

I had a good day yesterday and I'm back down to 157 on the scale. I can't wait to get rid of TOM and see what I weigh then. I'm feeling back in control, which is great.

JillieMac · 02-10-2006, 09:09 AM

Kirsten,

I too have experienced that at 20lbs people will begin to notice that you have lost weight. I guess it really shows in your face. I can tell in mine from pics I took at Christmas and looking in the mirror today.

Good Afternoon All,
Couldn't post this morning because I had to work. I think I did good on my test yesterday. It was for word processing. I am taking a medical administrative assistant certificate program at the college, so I can work in a hospital office. Yesterday after the test, I went shopping and had a great suprise. I went down a size in pants!!!!! I was so excited, I yelled whoohoo in the dressing room! Got a whole bunch of tops on clearance, my favorite rack! NOw I am off to do homework. Have a nice day.

So, I had my appt with the dietician/nutritionist. We talked a little bit about a lot of stuff, but she suggested that I do not go below 1600 calories a day. It was good to get a number for my body weight.

I went to Costco today and they had so many samples it was crazy. I didn't do too well at avoiding them. I'm not going to let it get me down because my first instinct is to mess up the rest of the day and go crazy. I will not do it. I have to see that guy I'm interested in tonight and I'll even feel crapier if I just ate a ton of food.
