~*~Terry's trippin to onederland~*~

MsTerry · 11-10-2006, 08:42 AM

Hello!

Come in.

**pats spot on comfy couch**

Sit down and make yourself at home.

Well ... for a bit .... because we are gonna be walking more than sittin'. You see my friend Cleo helped to jumpstart my @ss and now Im walkin' again.

And now she's looking for my journal so here it is.

MsTerry · 11-10-2006, 08:57 AM

I should take a minute to indroduce myself. Yes, my name is Terry. Not all that original but it works for me.

I began Atkins in June 2003. It was wonderful to finally find a plan I could stick with. I was a slow loser but managed to lose 65# by June 04. Although I still had a way to go, felt for the first time ever I could succeed and reach a goal.

Then I hit a huge wall and stopped losing. Looking back I believe that I had reached a point where I DID have to count calories. You can eat more and still lose at a higher weight. My portions needed to be smaller.

If only I had realized that then. I began my slide back to weight gain at first "dabbling" in low carb then full out binging my back to where I began. Since then I have played with the same 20# over and over again.

I think that you only fail when you give up so... I'm not giving up and I welcome you to join me on my journey.

fit4me&kids · 11-10-2006, 09:05 AM

Morning! I'll plop down on the couch and holler at ya for a while as we say around these parts!

Glad you started a journal! Now we can all pop in on ya!

MsTerry · 11-10-2006, 10:26 AM

Welcome Heather!

Nice to have you stop by. Look forward to making lots of friends in these parts!

MsTerry · 11-10-2006, 10:28 AM

Barbde!!!

<runs and completes yet another tackle... didn't learn my lesson from the last one with Cleo>

I heard rumor that you have found this neck of the woods and I for one and very happy you have!! Be sure to stop in when you can post my friend.

Desertthorn · 11-10-2006, 10:33 AM

Can I sit here on this lovely fainting couch (is this victorian?) It looks like your regular couch is all full up already.

fit4me&kids · 11-10-2006, 10:35 AM

Terry, I've seen you 'elsewhere' but just never posted in your journal. It's nice to see familiar names over here!

Hope your day is good!

KimandBrian · 11-10-2006, 10:35 AM

Hey Terry! Just thought I'd stop by and say hi! Thanks for visiting my journal

MsTerry · 11-10-2006, 10:36 AM

Victorian... yes.... thats what they told me at the furniture store when I told em I wanted more space for my friends to come and visit. I thought an eclectic feel would be nice. Thanks for being the one to christen it for me!!

MsTerry · 11-10-2006, 10:37 AM

Hi Kim... come any time. There's still room on the new victorian beside Lynne right now.

kkat55 · 11-10-2006, 10:37 AM

Morning, Terry!

Why don't you walk on over to my place and we can WATP together?

Hope you're having a Happy FRIDAY!!

BarbDe · 11-10-2006, 04:47 PM

Hey! Any more room on the couch????

cleochatra · 11-10-2006, 04:52 PM

See? Now I'm relieved *she said, jumping on top of Barb and bouncing up and down on her bladder* because I know you have a journal. See, I was concerned *crunching on one of Heather's pork rinds* that you had one and I couldn't find it. *Takes a swill of kitkat's induction-acceptable beverage* Now that I know it's here, and because I owe you a debt of gratitutde for my walking last night *burps and blows Lynne's hair straight back--excuse me*, I will surely be making visits to this place early and often.

Desertthorn · 11-10-2006, 05:21 PM

I love the ambiance. It is soooooo cool. My place btw is a mix of goodwill and Japanese...You must come for tea! White tea. Has anyone tried white tea yet, oh its to die for. Yumy

wannabethintoo · 11-10-2006, 06:26 PM

How did I miss this journal? Hiya Terry.

SweetE · 11-10-2006, 06:29 PM

Hey MsTerry, We don't know eachother, but hopefully that will soon change. Looks like there's a lot of fun going on in here. Is white tea better than regular tea? I've never liked tea much, but I'm always willing to try new things. I'll have a cup and squeeze between Cleo and Barbde on the couch. Maybe we could get a sectional in here!

BarbDe · 11-10-2006, 06:30 PM

It would be appreciated if Cleo got her elbow out of my boob!

cleochatra · 11-10-2006, 06:49 PM

Sorry, Barb. I thought it was a pert couch accessory.

MsTerry · 11-10-2006, 10:19 PM

<lugs groceries in dumps em on the table & slams door shut>

I go away for an evening and look at all the people who showed up.

Sure hope there was more in my fridge than there was in Sheshys last night. I wasn't expecting you all but sure am glad to find you here!!

Barbe!!! So glad to see you buddy! It wouldnt be the same without you here.

Kat...Im thinking if I walk the 2 miler WATP each day for enough days Ill be there sometime next spring and we can walk together..... as you walk me back home to Maine!

Desert... Ill be stopping by your goodwill Japenese home for some of that white tea asap!

Wanna.... Glad to see you stopping by... Better see if I can figure out how to hang a few pix of my own here since you wont share yours of Johnny with me.

SweetE...I look forward to getting to know ya! Welcome to my humble abode!

Cleo.... dahlink....... How was the walk today? I danced today myself. IF you have your elbow in Barbs boob I guess its time to add another couch to the room.

Hey, maybe we can meet in the middle?

wannabethintoo · 11-11-2006, 06:29 AM

Morning Terry. I'll help you hang your own pictures 'cause mine of Johnny are all MINE. I don't share when it comes to Johnny 'cause I did once and Shelly kept him so long that she wore him out and he was useless to the rest of us after that.

Oh and I agree about the calorie counting. Me too! And I don't care who hears this!

wannabethintoo · 11-11-2006, 06:35 AM

Here you go

It would look lovely over that victorian couch.

MsTerry · 11-11-2006, 09:10 AM

THANKS Wanna!!

And they told me she wouldnt share.

You could be my new best friend. I have to agree. There is nothing sadder than a useless Johnny. lol

Have a great evening!

MsTerry · 11-11-2006, 03:27 PM

Lots of WATP users in these parts.

I'm calling the next meeting of the WATP group here tomorrow. I'll be sure to have plenty of ice water..... I picked up extra ice at the store so just bring your water bottles ladies and fill as needed.

KimandBrian · 11-11-2006, 03:40 PM

Hey Terry!

I am definately going to check out those videos, I can use them on the days I don't go to the gym. I ended up going this morning and walked three miles, my feet were hurting so bad I had to get off and hopped on the eliptical i
