  • Saturday Roll Call

    BOO!
    Yes, tis me....back from the lagoon.
    I took a little break. Just needed to figure some stuff out, and I did. I needed to see what life was like without you, actually, without this whole place. It was fine....I stood on my own two feet and was accountable every day to myself, patted myself on the back, picked myself up when I needed to, and treated myself one day to a $400 clothing spree when I realized that I have indeed gone from a tight size 12 on starting this journey to a loose size 8! Payback in spades...this past few months has been worth every bit of effort I've put into it. When I started, this board was an invaluable tool for me. Support galore, friendly, positive, responsive people. No sniping, no snotty cliques, and people from all over the world, literally, who have opened my eyes. I drank it all in, learned that with a few words of my own I could touch people too, and found that paying it forward to those who needed a boost was the best thing about this place. Thank you each and every one of you.
    Summer is here and I will probably not be. Got some stars to watch in that big beautiful sky, got some sandy beaches to lie on, got some clouds to watch, some dusty paths to nowhere in particular to walk down barefoot. Have a great summer, make every single day count in some way. Really do that! Smile at a stranger, hold a door for someone in a hurry, give yourself a break from a life too busy. And keep drinking that water!
    Terry, Strudel, Mickey, Cynthia and Sens....I think of you in particular every day.

    Morning, Morning Glory, why you leaving us?
    Good morning STACers! It's another day, and for some of you saturday is very much a challenge...don't leave home with out a snack or a planned food stop! I use to make sure that I had eaten and carried something with me, should i get stuck out there in the retail world, doing errands...One gal posted it was a personal rule, "never leave home without food and or a plan to deal with hunger" she said it made the biggest difference of all. I thought it very smart of her... Since we're coming up on a year now, those type habits are automatic, but at the early stages I had to think every thing through, because cheating was not an option, too risky....I didn't want to loose Ketosis for anything at all...I wanted to keep fat burning!!!! at all cost.
    Have a great day, I am off to bike early today.

            Morning Glory!! Hi, Sweetie!!

            It's wonderful to see you again! It's REALLY wonderful to hear you're doing so well on your own! That has to be a great feeling, knowing you can continue successfully on your own if you have to or want to! Size 8, dang, Way To GO! (And how fun was that $400 shopping spree!! GEEEEEZZ! LOL!)

            I really don't blame you for taking time away and enjoying the summer, enjoying everything out there God has given us! I want that day, too... Please pop in occasionally and say hi! Going to miss you, Sweetie!

            Hugs and luv, MG!!

              Morning, WoW I drank too much coffee yesterday. Going to be a good little turtle of that today, just a little in the AM. Not quite ready to give that up yet. Still getting my water in. Got the measure out last night and felt much better about my slow weight loss. At least I have lost inches in the last couple of months, YEA me! Just getting ready to go to work, only one more Monday and one more Sat left on that job, I like it but need a break from having a part time job on top of my regular job. cya later

                Me, too! Did a bit of a Snoopy Dance, thankful to see it going in the other direction. Darn weight has been eeking up there since the surgeries while I was stuck on high-carb foods. Two days clean so far... Shooting for Number Three...

                  Hey all, and good morning!

                  MG--enjoy your beaches and your summer! That's what this season is about. I know you'll stay on the straight and narrow, Miss Size 8!

                  Jess--you're exactly right. ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN. If you have a plan, you have no excuses. I don't believe in excuses. A wise woman has these words in her siggy..."You can have excuses or you can have results. You can not have both." I WANT RESULTS!

                  Blazing--congrats on 1/2 pound down! I would gladly take that. I hate TOM--I've been up 2 pounds the last couple of days GRRR. But it will leave, and hopefully take a few friends with it...

                  Sandy--make today the day, no excuses, pull yourself up by your bootstraps and DO IT. Have a plan, stick with it, YOU ARE WORTH IT.

                  Turtle--congrats on those inches! Inches are what really count, not pounds!

                  Terry--WOOOHOO for the scale sliding down! You're doing it girl, hoorah for day #3!

                  It's somewhat stormy today, so I think that cancels my outside run. I'll be heading to the gym in a bit to do some running there, as well as a circuit training/toning workout. If it clears up later, I might go for an addtional run outside.

                  I'm hoping to get my hair cut today, but it's a surprise, I didn't tell Geoff. Really, I'm only getting about 3" cut off. My hair has been growing SOOOOO fast thanks to my B vitamins and biotin. Good lord I think it's grown OVER 2" in about 2 months. This is the cut I'm going for, we'll see if my hair actually looks like this when it's done!:

                    I hear you Sandy, my 15 YO daughter lives in the Wet Seal store, and I can't stand her style, way too tight. I'm sure there will be some bickering today. Glad to know i'm not alone in the "tight fight".

                      Well you could send her to church camp with my daughter...Where God revealed that the clothes she wanted to wear was not "proper" So now she has a blog on her myspace about the clothes being too skimpy for girls.. I couldn't believe it... Its a miracle!

                        Re: Saturday Roll Call

                        Morning Glory!!!!! I am just so happy you checked in. Its terrible to form a bond with a person then them just drop out of sight. You know you want to believe everything is okay with them...to reason with yourself, but there is always in the back of your head this voice saying something might be really wrong. Anyway, I'm so glad you are okay and I totally understand you wanting to take the summer away from the computer. We have such a short summer in the first place. So enjoy! You have spread your wings and can make it on your own. You jumped the nest we call ADBB and you found out you could fly solo. Good for you!!! I know I'm not at that point and I do still rely on the support I get from the people on this board. It keeps me in check, keeps me accountable and keeps me motivated and I hope every now and again I contribute to someones issues here as well. Please if you read this drop in every now and again to let us all know how things are. I'm gonna miss you girly!!!

                        Blazing...Oh I want to be you. I absolutely LOVE shopping, even if it is with my girls...actually especially if it is with my girls. The outlet malls in Florida are great. I miss them so much...Oh I envy you today..hehehe. And about the tight clothes...I am a bit in disagreement...I figure if you can wear it go for it. My one daughter works hard to keep a toned body and so I think she should show it off...tastefully of course. I mean I don't want her wearin practically nothing...lol. I guess I have hidden behind baggy clothes for so long I yearn for something to look good that is tighter fitting...and I'm gettin there...slowly but surely. Congrats on the 1/2 lb...you are headin in the right direction! Have fun at the mall!!!!

                        Sandy...Just Do It! Don't make it a lifetime of tomorrows. When I first joined this board you were one of the people I admired most. Everytime I would read you posts I would think WOW...she has got this down pat. Planning meals and snacks...working out, running here and there with her kids...she is on the go go go. So, I know you have it in you. You have just jumped the track...momentarily...and now you have to get back on. So, even though I respect your life is busy and I don't walk in your shoes...you need to make time for yourself. YOU ARE WORTH IT! So...no more excuses, no more I'm starting tomorrow...start today.

                        Julie...I can't wait to see your hair. I love that style and I think its going to look great on you. Make sure you post a pic when you get home from getting it done.

                        As for me...sorry for making this roll call post so long. Today I don't really have anything too much planned. Its so hot here and my a/c has decided to die...sheesh. Murphy's Law! So, I'm doing very little. Good thing my treadmill is down on the lower level where its cooler. Actually all this talk of malls...might go down to one today with my daughter and get out of the heat a bit. Put the pedometer on and get some steps in. Gonna stay legal on food as I have since I started. Never cheated once yet with high carb foods. The rewards are great so I must say, I'm not even tempted 99% of the time. Ok...well have a great one everybody...stay sweet (but legal).

                          Good Morning All! Hi Jess, great message for those who need to be reminded that plannining is so key with this woe and wol.
                          My husband calls me Yogi each time I walk out with my snacks for the day. "Hey what ya got in the picnic basket Yogi?" lol I call him my Food Police! He keeps an eye on me. He's my Sweetheart! TODAY is my official day of my 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of this LIFESTYLE! I'm so happy that I took that first step three years ago into the Healthiest Lifestyle I've ever known.I'm a healthier person for it and 120 lbs. lighter too. It goes to show you that anything is possible as long as you set your mind, heart, and soul into it and yourself!. All of you have supported me and made me realize once again why I do this lifestyle. When I found all of you in May, I had fallen in a great depression and it's beacuse of all of you that snapped me back to reality. I just want to THANK ALL OF YOU for making me realize that I AM WORTH IT! (TEARS) I look forward everyday coming here and visiting with all of you. You've given me the best food that's good for us and that's FOOD FOR THOUGHT! You give me lots of laughs, tears and someplace I can spread my love and give back of what I have learned in this woe and wol. So Thank you! Today I want you to Celebrate with me by reflecting upon yourself of why you're doing this woe and wol and what a difference it has made for you. Reach for the stars, dreams really do come true! Lots of Love & HUGS, Sincerely Sherri

                            Morning all! Just checking in.

                            As many of you know, Ive had some personal issues going on over the past two months. I think Im coping ok, and Ive refocused and am trying really hard to stay on track. But all of a sudden, the past two nights I have been dreaming about CAKE! Chocolate cake with pink frosting! EEEK! I wonder why that is? Its starting to frustrate me! And I dont even really like cake. Hmmmm.

                            Well, Im off to drink my water, I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Have fun shopping Blazing! I wanna go shopping too! Im jealous!
