Morning mommies, I'm at home today to get hopefully get some of this cold gone.

Dar- I know all the health food stores and vitamin stores around here have the Atkins stuff. The grocery store across from us actually has a very good selection of LC, surprisinly.

Menu is subject to change, but this is it so far:
B- Omlette with mushrooms, cheese, onions
L- Chicken/Egg Drop soup with veggies
D- Hamburger Goulash

Melissa- I think it was just plain too much nibbling I did. Even though it was all legal, I could've lived without it! I told my husband last night that I felt bloated and I was right. So today I'm really going to work on watching my portions. Wish me luck!

Cyn~ you are really sweet to say so, but I think I need to change my siggy. I've put on about 5 - 6 lbs and 163lb at 5' 3" (size 16 pants) isn't ideal . But I will get there....one day.

Hope everybody has a good day!

Good morning moms!
I need to go scan the weekend thread.

The list looks great!

Cyn- sorry about the weight. I am sure it's just water. Drink drink drink today!

Kjen- you are 5'3? I pictured you taller for some reason.

Hi Chelle!

Cheryl- to your oldest and on the gray remark.

Hi Melissa!

BB, I need to get some coffee and get started on my work.

Had a great weekend, very relaxing, yet got a lot of house and yard work done. Grocery shopping and lots of grillin and chillin.
Bought Katie her very own tv and dvd player for her room! Sat morning, she woke us up at 6:00. Ughhh. I went in, changed her, gave her a sippy of milk and poppin in shrek.
She let us have another 1.5 hours of sleep
Not that I plan to use that as a babysitter and haven't turned it on since, but it is a nice little thing to have on occasion.
She sang and danced and never fussed once.

Thats my bad mommy confession for the day.

Hope you all have a great day!

Morning mommas... Oh, I wish I wasn't up already! Well, we ended up going camping with my oldest sister and her family this weekend, totally last minute. We had a good time, went swimming at the beach, ate smores ! Eli did really well this time, slept all night in his pack n play in the tent without a peep!

Chelle... Morning... hope things are going better for you. How's your little cutie patootie?

Cheryl... Ah, don't you hate that?! Drink away, and eat lots of protein today.. it'll go away!

Melissa... How's our little walker doing?! My little Mr. Destructo is presently throwing all his toys ALL over the place. What are we going to do with these boys?!

Cyn... Where are you going???? How have things been with the Chrones?

Kjen... Welcome to the shortie club!!!

Tracy... Hey woman!

Hey, girls... busy morning so far cleaning up the office. I like to do it sometimes to purge stuff... the guys here are horrible about just stacking stuff all over the place.

Meal plan today.. um, none so far. I have no food in the fridge at work. I haven't had breakfast yet (bad Dar!), but I think I have some Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches in the freezer. I might go thaw one out and have the insides.

I guess I'll be heading out at lunch to get some stuff.

Melissa, I've seen it at our local health food store, but it's cheaper to buy it online. I've just been lazy and haven't done it yet!

Hello to everyone else! BBL when I have time to chat.

Dawn- My little walker is still trying to convince himself that walking is the way to go! He is Mr. Destructo also, everything is all over the place. He's working on emptying the DVD's right now while Andrew is trying to distract him.

6:00? Oh Katie darling!!!! Glad you got to get some more sleep...let me give you my bad mommy confession.

Lexi was very cranky Saturday but we let her stay up until 11:00pm and then she didn't wake up until 1:30 on Sunday so I would let her take a nap and kept her up...she was so tired but I kept playing with her...I felt bad but I knew I wanted her to go to bed at 8:30 or so and a nap wasn't in the plan...I am so so so so so bad.....let the lurkers come out on this one!


(YES I KEPT MY BABY UP AND DIDN'T LET HER NAP...PLEASE CALL THE NAPPING POLICE ON ME!!!!)- but of course right after (YOU CALL THE TV PATROL ON TRACY)

Anyways- my favorite breakfast joint by my house caught on fire and now I have no where to get that french toast I love!!!! I hope it's back up before you get here Lauren I wanted to take you there....they have some great breakfast...the lines are ALWAYS out the door w/ like a 30 min. wait unless you get there before 7am....

Hi Mommies!

I love the new first post! If I'm just mostly a lurker these days, can I still add my little guy to the list?

LizzyD ~ Elizabeth ~ Henry Stewart (October 15, 2004)

Hope you are all doing well! I read this morning that Atkins is filing for chapter 11. Too bad! I hope it doesn't affect this list.

Cheers,
LizzyD

Bad, bad mommies!

Add me to the list because I MADE Emily take a nap on Saturday! She kicked and screamed because she didn't want one, but after the morning we'd had, I needed her to take one.

For SHAME, Cheryl!

Alison was driving me nuts last night. She did not want to go to bed. Finally, we were able to get to the point where her tummy was full, she was burped, dry, and warm. It took a while to get to that point, though, and she didn't fall asleep until 11. I was just frustrated because I had hoped we were getting to the point where she would fall asleep earlier. Or at least go to bed earlier.

I felt like crud all weekend! Never to the point of throwing up, but nauseous 100% of the time and it never seems to go away. Today - same thing. We had a meeting this morning and I had to get up and leave 2x to head to the bathroom, and I did heave, but no barf. Ugh!! I don't know how in the heck I can function like this.

Atkins won't ever go away, the company has just made some really bad choices since Dr. Atkins passed away, like telling people they could eat all teh LC stuff they wanted and lose weight. So, people did that and didn't loose the weight so what are you going to do? Stop....

Agreed. Any diet still requires some restraint and you still need to not eat if you aren't hungry. I think that's why a lot of people bash LC and say it doesn't work - it's simply because they thought they could eat 800 cheese cubes every day and lose weight. Especially as you near goal, it's even more important to still take calories into account. I don't do LC anymore, but when I did (prior to Jan '05 for 3 years) I always had success.
