Mrs. Kenny Chesney has 4 pumpkins in her patch

[sophie44]

To any one just checking this out: yup, I heart Kenny...I also heart the #4 and pumpkins, so I threw them all together to get the name of this journal.


A little about me, I am a manager @ a gamestop in upstate NY, I like it, its fun. I am married and have a wonderful little puppy, whom I heart soooo much. I have always been over weight, started to really lose weight in '04, I was over 300 pounds, went donw to 189, gained some and now I am back on the downward slope. LC really workds for me, as long as I work it. I feel better so this should really be a no brainer. I am going to be 32 this year and at this time would LOVE to get down to 190 for that birthday (12/15) So here are some thoughts as I go...

Well...when I was living the LC lifestyle in 04-06 I had a journal on here...I was was going to find it and start posting from there, but I am in such a different place now, I thought I needed a new journal.
Today is day 21 for me...I started re-induction at 230, down to 215 now, 15 lbs in 3 weeks...not bad, plus I feel better, thats awesome as well! I have been doing SOOOOO well, seems like this time around is just easy for me, I do not crave things that are 'no-no's' and I feel sooooo great about this. My menus are all pretty not bad, I will post some but not all, as I really don't have alot of time. Work is crazy and I will be leaving for Vegas soon, no laptop there, but I am getting myself ready to work VERY hard at staying on plan, I think I can do it...


as for today, we had to go to get my babe's car checked out, got her MX thingie put in the car, Kenny even had his own radio station right now, it is awesome, we went shopping, I found a few things, trying not to but alot due to the weight loss...ate well today, sausage thing morning, a late late lunch @ Applebee's of smothered chicken and veggies with a small salad with ranch dressing, I had some cheese and pepperoni tonight...feel good. It getting late but I really wanted to get this journal going, seems like I do sooooo much better when I have a journal...

Welcome back....sounds like you are on your game.....
PS Your title snagged me

[sophie44]

Hi Sheryl! Thanks for the visit...glad ya liked the title...


well, work was very busy today, seemed like the POS kept breaking down, credit card machines didn't want to work, customers were driving me nuts...another day @ gamestop. Carb wise, all went well. Had my normal morning meal, eggs and sausage, lunch was 2 hard boiled eggs and a snack was a cheese stick. Tonight, my babe, her sister and our neice went out to pizza hut, for the first time ever, I didn't care that I wasn't having pizza. I had a salad and some wings, I think I did well on carb count for day, I am going to go check pizza huts web site to see if it lists the counts. All in all, not a bad day at all. I am beat, seems like my sleeping really sucks, my neice is satying the night, we all read a book and have a nice night...so I hope it means sleep. Other than that, not much is new, work is work, I have to work all day Monday...I am planning ahead for lunch and making some hard boiled eggs, they really seem to work for me. Well, I guess my lights on in my car, so I will go check it out...more later

Well, its a sad day here. Mr Phillips passed away today. He has been mine and my babe's friend for many years, he was 86. Hicks is having a really hard time with it, my heart hurts over this whole thing...
As for LC news, another good day here, this morning I went to work and got eggs and sausage, Hicks called me and I left early, had 2 hard boiled eggs for lunch, dinner was2 burgers with hot peppers and cheese, a small salad and some deviled eggs. I did have a snack tonight of another boiled egg, I also had a few nuts today. All in all not bad at all. I hope too see some movement on that scale soon, I am stuck at 215. I really would like to see it closer to that 210 mark.
I need to get going, check on some other threads and then get some sleep. I have a long week ahead of me...

My neice is staying woth us tonight, so I won't have any time to be on here, feeling like crap today, TOM is here, first day, left work early due to the worst cramps EVER. As for food today thus far: one hard boiled eggs, 2 pieces of pork with a bit of cheese and some homemade salsa, we are going to inlaws for a cookout, not sure what I will eat but I know it will be lc...guess thats it...
