Century Club Git R Done Roll call for Monday, August 29

[cleochatra]

Helloooooooooo everyone!

How is everyone doing today?

I am so excited to be back here with all of you! I think a daily roll call would be nice in addition to other threads so that we can keep in touch with each other and read how you guys are doing!

Feel free to use this as a mini-journal, if you'd like. You can discuss plans for the day, just chat, ask for prayers, log your food, etc!

It can be what you want it to be.

So, today I woke up and since Wednesday I'm 19 pounds down! It must be water weight. And if that's the case, what a bloaty bloater I'd been! Still, after getting through those first few days of induction I feel SO amazingly fantastic!

I'm a bit miffed, though, because I'm still an XL in most of my clothes, so, I bought some sweats at Target yesterday that were 2xl just to be safe, and they were tight!

So it's weird when different stores have different meanings behind their sizes!

I guess I'll need to try on clothes from now on!

I hope everyone has a great day! Please check in and let us know how you're doing!

Hi Cleo! I'm a-checking in! You know..you're so right about sizes. I bought two packs of UW yesterday. One smaller than the other. The smaller ones fit wonderful, the larger ones are tight. Go figure!

This is a great idea. I know I'm not as old home as some of the others that are missing, but I remember and miss them too. Hope maybe you're being back will help the others meander back here. The new people are nice too...there is the potential for the best Century Club season yet, if everyone would just get their rears back here to stay!

Got a challenge going right now where I post my menus, so won't go through all that again, but I'm dying for supper tonight! STEAK with sauteed onion and mushroom! Anyone drooling yet?

Have a great day, all you CC'ers!

Re: Century Club Git R Done Roll call for Monday, August 29

I am drooling, I am drooling.. and incidentally, I am on my way over for supper!

I am okay. My kids before school teacher embarrassed my five year old on his first ever day of school, in teh first five minutes in front of the entire group and all of the grownups. I am livid. I will spend my day doing my darndest to get her fired. That program is S**T. I am a former OST director, and will usually side with the staff and counselors, but she was so out of line it was amazing. And then she blamed me, for not prepping her to deal with my kids??? I tried to talk to her and introduce the boys, and was told, just sign them in and sit them down, they didnt have time for this. Yeah.. they are going down.

It is the kids' first day in a public school today. I am a wreck, nad just want to go get them and take them home. And I dont feel good and I have a major headache, and an interview scheduled that I am not going to be able to get to.

This day isnt shaping up well!

At least I am not inland, and watching my lifes work float on by...

I feel like singing the Mickey Mouse roll call now... lol

I'm holding steady at 233, but PMS has set in and I haven't been losing during that or TOM, which is more than annoying. I'm anxious to get back to the size I was in May, and it's hard being so patient!!

In other news, I'm getting hugely excited because in less than 4 weeks, my sweetie is coming back from his deployment. It's been 10 months, and darnit, I"m ready for it to be over!!!

I'm workin' on my daily water....how's everyone else?

JoAnne- I hope your hubby is back real soon. I'm sure it has been really hard having him gone. My stepson is in Okinawa right now. We are thinking he will probably be deployed next year.

Cleochatra- You are doing great so far!

I'm having a good day so far. I had a great omlette of green pepper, bacon, and tomatoe. I've had 3 glasses of water so far.

The kids are off to school and my little one is taking his nap. Life is good!

Rolling in!

Things are going well enough over here. I joined a gym this summer. So I'm going there and waddling around four times a week or so. And my parents sent me a swank new swimsuit, so I go swimming too! By swank, I mean it isn't all bunchy saggy around my bum, and the staps actually stay up. I was kinda thrilled! I had my old suit for about 4 years...and all of a sudden...it was to BIG on me!

I'm doing well with water. But Diet Coke calls my name. And it has a very seductive voice.

-softnred- hazzahs for sweeties coming home where they belong! That's fabulous!

Re: Century Club Git R Done Roll call for Monday, August 29

Here! Feel like I'm in school again...Great idea Cleo. I love hearing about how others are doing. This is turning out to be a good week for me, down 2 lbs so far, I usually weigh-in on Tuesdays. DH and I just got back from our vacation a few days ago, and brought my daughter home for a couple of weeks, for her vacation. We're all on plan, even she is following, or at least while she's in the house! She only needs to lose about 10 lbs, and she's a jogger, so half the battle is won. I'm starting to do some job hunting, slowly. I took the year off from a rigorous career, and now I'm thinking of a career change. This year was totally devoted to ME! Lost 70 lbs, work out 6 days a week, and even started the Couch-5K program. So now I can focus on what I want to do when I grow up!!! lol Well, now it's time to do my workout, think I'll do the Power 90 DVD.
Chow for now...

Hello ! This looks like a great group and I'd love to join you all in statusing our progresses. My name is Cindy. I'm a divorced single female from St. Louis, MO. I'm 30 and have no kids. I started Atkins about 10 days ago and love it so far. It's definately going to be my WOL ! Where is everyone else from ?? Is there a way we can post like a spreadsheet at the top of this post to status our weight loss? And then if one person wants to monitor it, we could update our losses once a week or something. Just a thought!

Re: Century Club Git R Done Roll call for Monday, August 29

I'm here too. I've lost 28 lbs. and in excess of 50 inches so far. I get my exercise in at Curves circuit training. I'm involved in the Presidential Fitness Challenge and I've almost won my Bronze Medal. I'm married (35 yrs) and a stay at home former RN. I have 2 grown sons with no D-I-Ls or grandchildren. Sons both live at home for the present. I have a pomeranian named Missy who weighs about 6 lbs. We live in Middle Tennessee. My husband is a country music fan but I like most types of music, not just country. I like to watch backyard birds, especially finches and hummingbirds which are plentiful this time of year. I'm from a large family: 1 boy and 7 girls so you may see me mention one of my sisters - cause I have several. That's enough about me.

Hello Everyone!

I too "slacked" over the summer and am now ready to get back into things! I didn't gain any weight, but I didn't lose any. I pretty much stayed on this WOE but I didn't exercise. Exercise makes all the difference! I just started back again exercising and lost 1 1/2 pounds! Looking forward to chatting with everyone!

I am from Indiana, live on a small farm where we raise sheep. I also have a bath and body product business.

Re: Century Club Git R Done Roll call for Monday, August 29

Welcome, Cindy!

Well I am doing well today. Just ate some yummy salmon with spinach and blue cheese in the middle, mmmm.. Was so good. Weighed 221.5 this morning, which means I passed the 40 pound mark!!! I don't consider it official unless I weigh that on a saturday though, but i am still excited!!

I am going on a cruise next week with some of my family and my fiance. I live in california, my family lives in michigan, so when I meet up with my family in seattle for the cruise, this will be the first time they've seen me in 3 months. I am hoping they don't recognize me lol.

I went to disneyland last night with my fiance and watched the fireworks for the third time. It was fun but I was sooo tired at work today as a result that I almost fell asleep on the job! was worth it though . I am having a good day and am super motivated to do well!

Hope everyone else is having a great day!
