Hey all! Thanks for the sweet words on my pic
Got to be super quick today. I haven't hit the shower yet and have to be somewhere in 45 min!!
Down to 217!! Gonna wait a day before changing my stats. Although I did eat 3 eggs and fajita meat yesterday. Seems like the two day fast got me moving again. Found a new wonderful crystal light flavor last night......well, it's great value brand at WM. Cranberry Apple! I had to grab the box and make sure it didn't have carbs in it when I first tasted it. I've never had an artificial drink taste so much like real juice!
Bad news on the countertops.....they put back splashes on them . It'll be another week or so.
Thank you all so much for all the support here It really is critical for me to have others to communicate with while LCing. I don't feel sorry for myself that way

Melly: I feel for ya girl....I want curly hair so bad! Mom has beautiful curls and my sis just got hers cut (was 1/2 way down her back). With only a few layers she has ringlets.

[Hoops]

Dolls I just can't seem to get myself on track. My appetite has been HUGE! I weigh 179.5 today, and I know I was 10 pounds lighter last month. My goal is somewhere in the 150's, so I pretty much set myself way back. It is what it is. I keep saying I am going to get back to my T-Tapp and the gym, but haven't. So, now that I am on winter break from work, I am going to exercise everyday until Christmas, and I will exercise some while I am on vacation for a week after Christmas. Also, I'd like to fast sometime soon for one week. This time of year so many people get sick, and a one-week fast will clean my blood and help get rid of some toxins stored in my body. I wish I could do it now, but I'd have to start by tomorrow to get it in before Christmas. So, I will most likely wait until I return from my trip and start Jan 3. Either way, I want to make the commitment to get myself to goal by eating better than I have. I realize I have to be strict with myself.

Melly~ Curly hair takes forever to get longer looking! My hair is super curly, though. Mine is fine and on the thinner side, but looks like a bush especially without gel! I am sure you will be happy with yours within a few more days.

Angela~ I claim the weight the day it comes off!

Alijah!

Mel.... Let's marry off our kids at about 30, so we could be inlaws. My son turns 12 in April, and he is a total sweetheart! He is going to be one of those "nice guys" who isn't really appreciated until he's in his 30's. You know, when women get tired of the bad boys and want a nice guy. Yep, he is one of those.

I'm going to get REALLY SERIOUS in 2007...........I'm tired of NEVER reaching my goal..............so for the first time EVER I will be CHEAT FREE UNTIL I REACH GOAL WEIGHT.

I know many say don't wait until the first of the year, but I'm really gearing myself up.......you know pysching myself up for the long haul of NO CHEATING. Birthday in Feb., NO CAKE this next year, won't "cheat for Easter" or anything else and I SHOULD reach my goal of losing 40-50 pounds quickly and easily with no cheating............I MEAN IT NOW.........STOP LAUGHING........... The PEACH WILL HAVE SUCCESS IN 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been very busy the past two days, sorry haven't been on for personals but I think of you all OFTEN!!!!!!!!!

Will try and pop back in later when DH is at the post office.

Karen.... Cheat free was my final deliverance... after 47 years of being uncomfortably overweight... do it for your self.. I am a recovering CARBOHYDRATE ADDICT, and know it is a day by day choice to eat clean avoiding carbs that make me lose my mind and control me and make me sick and FAT...

Karen it is your choice to choose THIN.... by going CHEAT FREE FOREVER....

Treat yourself... today... I have done this and am happier healthier and have more energy and self esteem than ever before... Go for it... if I CAN

[DEBI IN OHIO]

Hoops, sorry to hear about ur appetite being so big right now. Good luck on that exercise plan, I never exerecise

2007 is around the corner, everyone will be going diet crazy, Im just glad I started 2 months ago and got things "mostly" under control before the holidays

[Mom2Daisy]

Howdy Folks!!
Busy weekend my own self! 218 this morning. Think I will officially change it my stats now. Have a cold and ate hard candy during church to keep from coughing on everyone. (supposably sugar free) now I'm starving. I'm suspicious that it had more carbs than I thought. Must run for now. I have a batch of cinnamon dough ready to have little gingerbread ornaments cut out of it. It smells wonderful but it's not edible so I won't have to worry about temptations

Jingle all the way!

I got some great pics tho and will link them at the end of this post.....when you open the link look to the right of the pic and it lets you start a slideshow....there are some recent pics of me and my curls there too But the pics I like most are the ones of the lights in the city.......you can also see my sone and my mommy.....my mommy has on a red sweater.....she came over for pizza and cake and she is doing GREAT!!!!!!

[GApeach23]

Good Afternoon Dolls and our Dude..............

So I finally weighed, not pretty, but could be worse...........204..........arghhh.

Anywho, I'm going to TRY, really TRY and be good this week. Then I go to mom's Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and we do eat well. But unlike Thanksgiving I will not be preparing ALOT of food for my small family at home, I did that Thanksgiving and it took us a week and a half to eat all of the leftovers.

So I will be making homemade mac and cheese and southern style dressing, that is the only side dishes I'm pretty sure. Thanksgiving was alot of carby side dishes.......so going to be better for Christmas.

This year I think I will bake (things like sausage balls, cheddar cheese with pecan balls, some cookie type things called snowballs.........hey I see a theme going on here, whats up with all the balls..... ). Also will make DH some fudge, didn't make any last year and he missed it.

But after all of this I hope to do the water fast sometime between Christmas and New Year's. Then as I stated before............I WILL GO CHEAT FREE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER..........UNTIL I REACH GOAL!!!!!!!!!

DH is desperately ill today, he has what DD had last week........bad cold, possibly turning into bronchitis.............I will not get sick this year around Chirstmas.........so I'm staying the heck away from him like I did DD.

Will check back in later for personals........this is so long, I might lose the dang thing.

Hey all!
I'm still holding at 218. Not really hungry at ALL today. My body feels ok but I can hardly speak. Not sure if it's just ketosis keeping the hunger at bay or the cold? Haven't eaten anything today but can't say I'm committed to fasting either....it just happened that way.

Melly - The photos are great. Very nice lookn' family you have there. I love the Christmas lights too. I don't know where some people find the patience to put up so many. I got brave this year and put twinkle icecicles on the front of the house. I had a cramp from you know where for two days after from squeezing the staple gun over and over. For me, they are more of a spectator sport than one I will engage in the future.

Have a slim-n-trim day!
Angela

[slatman]

I thought he was your hubby too

[DEBI IN OHIO]

Crohnie......good luck with the consult

I am in a real bad mood since signing on here right now so I will just post my menu from yesterday and be gone

530p-2egg whites, 1yolk mixed with light mayo
snack s/f jello
1030p repeat of earlier
snack s/f jello
200am repeat again of earlier
water and herbal tea to drink
Totals cals..380/fat..22/carbs.12/protein.31

[Melly]

Michele I feel your pain sweety and I am praying for you......hopefully he will be able to take care of it and you will be more comfortable

[Mom2Daisy]

Melly.....I really thought that was your husband too! Thanks for clarifying. BUT, you in NO WAY look old enough to have a son that age!! He is very good looking (I can say that now that I know it's not your hubby ) You look great too! I just saw the roses and a good lookin' man and thought...boyfriend or hubby.

Michelle.....praying for you sweetie. I hope all goes well and on schedule with your Dr. Funny how our Christmas wishes for ourselves change over the years. Toys....boys....money....jobs.... but nothing is as important as good health. We can't enjoy any of the other things to the fullest extent without it.

Karen.....I have the same theory on sick folk....STAY AWAY.....I hate going to the Dr. when I have a sinus infection or something I really need antibiotics for due to the fact I may catch the flu or something worse just being in the waiting room!

Slatman...."L: Salad (crud.. supposed to be back to m/e today)" I think there could be worse things you could be eating. Like cookies and danishes that salesmen give out this time of year
