Oh GOsh Cnady sorry to hear about ur mailbox! Id be hoppin mad! Hopefully it has nothign to do wiht this crazy guy. That would be too scary.

BigStud72 · 05-10-2007, 04:46 AM

Hey Candy, hope we can catch up later tonight or possibly this weekend. I know everyone seems to be getting busier as the weather gets nicer. Hope you have a wonderful day my friend!

Edwards20 · 05-10-2007, 04:50 AM

Morning all. I have to go get ready for work. I have to keep it in high gear today and make some productive sales calls. The product I am working on this week pays the highest commission %, so that is where I will focus.

The scales were very nice to me this morning. I hope they will be in the morning. I love to be able to change my stats on Thursdays.

Ok check out the PICS from what SOMEONE did to our mailbox/paper box this morning. I truly hope it was NOT the crazy man.

Thanks Tonia, I edited it

.

We love you too, there is something special about you, so I can see why you have so many people drop by to see you... also you are always there to cheer people on...

so sorry to hear about your mail box... and who is this guy?

be back later

Tippy Toes · 05-10-2007, 06:01 AM

Candy, those scales are sure being extra good to you! Or could it be YOU being extra good to YOU? Great job! I know you must hold your breath everytime you weigh... I am so proud of you!

As far as the mailbox, try not to worry about the wacky guy... It could just be kids. Any of your co-workers having problems?

monet0329 · 05-10-2007, 06:47 AM

Candy~I hope you find out who trashed your mail-box. We live out in the country and strange things happen. We've had our mail stolen before. We really need a P.O. box instead of a regular mail box.

for your family's protection.

KrystaLyn · 05-10-2007, 08:18 AM

Candy, I will be here tonight, waiting to hear your results and see your new stats!

Edwards20 · 05-10-2007, 08:42 AM

I am not very bright some days. I could have sworn today was WEDNESDAY

Here we go:

Challenge Start Weight: 247
Current Weight: 228
Weekly Progress: -3
Total Challenge (30 in 3) Loss: -18
TOTAL LOSSES: -36

Changing my stats now !!! That means only one more day of work this week. How DID I lose a day ?

Edwards20 · 05-10-2007, 08:48 AM

Lisa, the crazy guy is someone who was fired from my office last Friday. He has possibly made threats to those of us involved in his termination.

Nope, TT ... no one else has had a problem yet.

Randy was 4 hours late getting home from work this morning. They had some issues and he had to stay and help out -- hopefully that will get him some "brownie points". They have not mentioned anything else about moving him to 1st. But after this morning, they realize how valuable he is.

It was a little upsetting to me, because I was alarmed that he wasn't home when I got up. My 1st thought was that he had to work late, but as the morning grew longer I began to worry. They are not allowed to have their cell phones in the building ....

I am amazed on my losses here since I started taking my meds again. I get nervous that I will reach another stall. I started looking ... and I haven't had many veggies since then either. I didn't even realize it. I just hope that as I incorporate them back in I still lose. Maybe I shouldn't add them back.

KrystaLyn · 05-10-2007, 09:05 AM

Congrats on the -3 lbs this week! I'm so glad the scales are moving for you!

And don't even THINK about not adding back your veggies!!

Low Carb Mommy · 05-10-2007, 09:32 AM

3 Pounds This Week!!! That is truly awesome! That only happens in my dreams! So proud of you girl! You are going to have a great month!!!

Livywilltim-mom · 05-10-2007, 09:49 AM

Yeah Candy!!

3 pounds is awesome!

So sorry to hear about the mailbox, I too, will pray that you and yours remain safe. Everyone is right though, probably a random issue and not the wacked out guy from work.

Hope your sales are great!

Peace

seb · 05-10-2007, 11:11 AM

Awesome job, Candy

Tippy Toes · 05-10-2007, 11:19 AM

Candy, I think I am jealous, lol!

Do you realize you are already over 1/3 of the way to goal? And its only been 5 months???

I think you are doing a fantastic job! And yes, add some veggies back by all means. You don't want to get stuck/stalled, do you? You can always cut them back later if you need to. Think about this: Picture having few veggies and then hitting a stall--what would you cut out then besides your left arm?

It's important you keep moving up--trust me. I didn't do it soon enough and I regret it.

AuntieMame · 05-10-2007, 12:59 PM

Congratulations Candy!!

WTG!!

I told you that you would pass me by!!

KUTGW!!

Okay.. that's funny. I don't care who ya are, that there is funny!

Edwards20 · 05-10-2007, 01:10 PM

OH, I was ONLY kidding about adding the veggies back in. I didn't realize I had not been eating them. TT - you do make it sound so easy when you shine the light on how far I've come. Only 64 more lbs to go. Right now, I am just concentrating on the 217. Doubtful I will make it there by the end of May. BUT, I want to be closer. Then, I will shoot for ONEderland.

Low Carb Mommy · 05-10-2007, 01:21 PM

You can do it Candy! Don't underestimate yourself! I wish you would put your fitday link on your signature so I could get to it easily to look at your menus. How many carbs have you been eating to get to this wonderful loss? Where are you getting your carbs from if not from veggies? You know how I am trying to learn from everyone who is doing so well!

AuntieMame · 05-10-2007, 01:36 PM

You are in so much trouble, girl! I was reading in Krysta's journal and guess what I found

? This:

Buck up! Let's see a positive attitude!!

You WILL get to goal.

You will do it!!

I don't want to see another IF or I'm gonna be really

!!- You got it?

Low Carb Mommy · 05-10-2007, 01:41 PM

Now there is a great friend! Keeping you accountable girl! She is right...it starts with positive speech!!

Edwards20 · 05-10-2007, 03:44 PM

My fan club ALWAYS keeps me accountable.

Ok Beth, I am going to put the Fitday in my signature right now. Remember, as I said before it's NOTHING to brag about. And I have been eating way low carb these past 2 weeks. I think

. However, I even ate a 3 min. choc. cake last night and lost. I did have lettuce and green beans today.

lcq · 05-10-2007, 03:46 PM

Candy... have a wonderful rest of the evening

Edwards20 · 05-10-2007, 05:44 PM

I just read an awesome analogy posted in the ML, regarding what to do with a stumble in eating ....

The person states that they will resume the correct foods on the very next meal instead of continuing to eat off plan the remainder of the day.

I was impressed with this reply .

Quote:

The most important thing after a slip is what you do next.

Think about it this way : if you were climbing a mountain and you've been climbing for days and days and your foot slips and you slide back a few inches, are you going to turn around and walk back to the point where you started that morning or, worse, right to the foot of the mountain to start again from there? NO!! You'll just cover those few inches again and keep going.

Low Carb Mommy · 05-10-2007, 05:47 PM

Very Good! Thanks for sharing that! That is an awesome analogy!
