FRIDAY TGIF - Roll Call

Re: FRIDAY TGIF - Roll Call

Good morning! I slept in. I have a sore throat and plugged ears, and yesterday...I did a bad thing . I cheated. Badly.
However, today is a new day and I have forgiven myself. Back on track. I love to come here...I probably don't have to go into details because after reading all your posts this morning, it's pretty obvious you guys feel the same way I do. This is the first place we come for our morning wake-up! Thank you all for that.
I think I'm the only one here who's from the frozen north! Mowing lawns, riding bikes? Well I'm almost there...the snow is still in our yard where it's shady, but the front lawn is exposed and really looks like it just got out of bed....there's dirt and gravel all over it from the sand trucks in the winter. That's ok though.....gives me a job to do! I'm off to see what's new here today. Today: Keep your eyes on the prize!

Morning all!!!

Re: FRIDAY TGIF - Roll Call

Morning,
I haven't had a great week. Wednesday my cat died, I accidently hit him backing out of our driveway. We had a power outage so it was pitch dark and I was in a hurry to get the kids to the bus stop. I thought I hit something but when I looked there was a pipe on the ground and the cat had run into the garage so I thought he was fine. When I got back a few minutes later he was laying in the garage and had already passed. I was extremely devastated.

I didn't have much of an appetite the past couple of days, barely got above 8 carbs which I know is NOT a good thing. I tested with strips and I am still in the dark purple but my body keeps going up and down 4 oz. I am trying to stay strong and not give in to my emotions...of which cried for a bag of chocolate to console my heart. Its been a tough couple of days needless to say. It doesn't help that my Blood pressure was up before the accident and yesterday I went into the cardiologist to have them check it because it was high at home...I am NOW on a blood pressure medication when I wasn't before.

I am trying to hold out to get thru the end of my 2 wks...I am hoping that my body is stalled because I changed antidepressants last weekend and maybe my body needs time to adjust to the 8 lbs I last week. My husband has been a great support to keep me from falling apart.

I did eat a good breakfast this morning and I am going to make it a point to eat enough carbs today like I did the first week.

Re: FRIDAY TGIF - Roll Call

I am hoping its not just a fluke but it looks like I lost a pound. I got on the scale 3 times to triple check the numbers. Its been a month since any loss, hope I have finally found a mix that works. guess I will know in a few days *scared* Thanks for your encouragement and suggestions if I did not check in here and read stuff every day that I can I probably would not have stuck with it. *fingers crossed* that its a real loss and not just an April fools thing.

Re: FRIDAY TGIF - Roll Call

Good morning everybody!

MissMel, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. I would be devastated too. I wish there was something I could say to help, but I guess it's just gonna take some time. Hang in there, ok?

Thanks to Scooter and Jess!!! I am so happy to be back on this board. I had a great first day back yesterday -- it's so hard to imagine why I ever stopped eating the Atkins way.

Have a great day everybody...

Re: FRIDAY TGIF - Roll Call

Glad to see everyone today!

I had a horrible nightmare last night and woke up actually sweating and freeking out a little. In my dream I ate a Milky Way candy bar! It tasted so great but then I started to loose it in the dream- I kept saying over and over "but this was my last chance" and could feel my hips start to expand, then I ate everything that was in sight.

So, needless to say I have NO urges to cheat at all! Good thing too because I am in ketosis and loving it!

Re: FRIDAY TGIF - Roll Call

You guys all rock!!! Thank you for the compliments, but honestly it couldn't all be done without you all. MissMel I'm so sorry about your kitty!! That's a bummer, stay away from the Chocolate, you can do it. Remember each day 1 at a time!! Do something nice for yourself, a nice long bubble bath, or a visit to the park, some 'MissMel' time. My heart feels for you. I know how much I love my 'Buddy' and 'Lulu' and I couldn't even begin to know what you're going through.

Anyway guys, thanks for the title (Jess & Scooter King & Queen too much!)

I love coming here and hope to continue to motivate ya'll while doing the same thing for myself as well. Remember, we can do this, we want to do this!

(I'm hoping for that 2 pound loss this weekend so I can post pictures finally....it's been awhile.....)

Fingers crossed!! Everybody have a wonderful weekend!

LisaDallas - I always mean to say this, what beautiful young ladies you have, I love that picture with the three of you! Feel the love!!! My son is 17 and he's the best!

Tamster - Welcome!!

Julie - work it, work it....haha....slippin' into those jeans...you go girl!!! haha!Excellent.

Re: FRIDAY TGIF - Roll Call

MissMel, your news about your cat made me so sad. I hope your broken heart heals soon.

Re: FRIDAY TGIF - Roll Call

There's our MorningGlory I knew she'd show up soon! Got have a MorningGlory to start the day out right, I love your name...makes you smile!!

Re: FRIDAY TGIF - Roll Call

Well thanks Scooterjam!
I see by your siggy that we're the same age! I'm slowly getting used to my forties...I still feel young, but what's with the grey hair, creaky joints and no memory???
Ha Ha.
So tell me about your name....where does "Scooterjam" come from exactly?

Re: FRIDAY TGIF - Roll Call

Okay, small fit of jealousy here! Julie, if your ticker is right, you're in the 190's and you're wearing a size 11? When I get down to the 190's I'll just be going from a size 20 to an 18. I swear when I say I have big bones, I'm not just saying it to excuse my fat. I don't know if my skeleton would fit into a size 11!!!! LOL!! WTG! Good for you!

Sheepie how tall are you? The last time I weighed 190, I think I was in 16s going on 18s. But this time when I get back down to 190 I hope to be able to wear a smaller size than that. I'm 5'5" if that helps any - Julie is 5'8". I use to blame part of my size on big bones too. I was very upset when an xray tech told me one time that I had tiny bones

MissMel, I am soooo sorry to hear about your cat. That would be devestating to me too. Take care of yourself and stay strong

Re: FRIDAY TGIF - Roll Call

MorningGlory - I hear and feel your pain!! Haha my wife tells me all the time...yeah...your old. Thanks babe! (she's 5 years older than me...heh-heh!)Scooterjam = I'm a musician, I play out all the time, and it just seemed appropriate, My nickname is Scooter, and when I was looking for a website...scootermusic.com was taken, scooter.com was taken, so I then picked Scooterjam.com. Sweet. Then I never used the site. Go figure. Life is great!!! Haha! So I just stuck with the name when posting....my buddy Jimmy used to say...'man....Scooter Jams.....' so hence forth...Scooterjam! Thanks for asking! Have a great weekend!

[MorningGlory]

Scooterjam: I knew there was a story behind your name! That does make sense now.
Have a great weekend!

I'm 5' 5.5". Why do you think you'll wear a smaller size at the same weight? More muscle? If I knock the last number off my weight, that's usually my size. I really do think I have a large frame. My hands and feet don't seem fat at all and I usually wear a size 11 shoe and the only woman I've ever met with bigger, wider, longer hands than me was my mother in law. Now you should see my dh...he definitely has BIG bones! LOL!

Scooterjam, what do you play?

Re: FRIDAY TGIF - Roll Call

Strength training helps, sheepie. The last time I was this size, I was 180. I can wear clothes now that I could only wear before when I was 15 pounds lighter...Gotta love those muscles!!!
