Just Think! Roll Call Monday 13th

[Outback Jess]

Goodmorning STACers...
School started here for us today. A new season. I sat there driving my teenager to school. She's been on atkins a year. She is thinner wearing a brand of clothing in the "L" size not XL...she is so happy with herself.
I've been thinking about that all day long....She is not exactly where she wants to be yet, but she has done more than any teen ager I know...Atkins for a whole yr...

So, let's all do it today, focus and achieve our goals of living a life with low carbs in it!

That's awesome for her Jess, I bet she is feeling on cloud "9" this morning, and I bet she'll get lot's of compliments today.

Hope everyone has an awesome Monday.

That totally rocks, Jess! Sure can tell you're one proud Mom!

Off to do my yardwork - that'll be a good workout for the legs which are getting better and stronger all the time! Y'all can't imagine how happy this makes me! This past year has been such a drag! Really lookin' up now!

Morning, Its a wonderful thing for a person to try on clothes and find your at a smaller size. Going to be a busy week. This is day 3 of vegie rung for me, I was doing something way wrong before because I had HUGE cravings yesterday, that lets me know I made the right decision to step back to vegies. Still not sure what it was but will find out as I go back up the ladder. Its all a learning process. Have a GREAT week!

Morning everyone. Jess, that's so awesome! Self asteem is so important, especially during that time in our lives. She must be feeling like a million bucks today!

It moved, it moved, it moved! I know it was only one pound, but when I got on that scale this morning it said 174 instead of the dreaded 175 (or 176) I've been stuck on for two weeks! Yippee! Oh ya, and hubby says we can getting a Bowflex! I could hardly sleep last night!

It's the offical start date of C25K for me today. I'm so pumped! Have a marvy day everyone!

Good morning everyone! Jess, how cool that your daughter is taking responsibility for her health. It helps that she has a great Atkins role model And I bet school clothes shopping was a lot of fun for her this year, too!

Congrats to your daughter Jess, I hope this is the start of a wonderful school year for her. My headache is finally gone this morning, but I still feel a little "fluish". Hope you all have a great week!

Jess---What a great way to start off the school year, and I bet she'll be smiling just thinking about the changes she's made in her life.

Tomorrow---Yea!!!!


I'm doing a little dance this morning, too-----the scale (yes, the dreaded metal machine) told me I weighed 199 this last Saturday morning, and today I'm back down to 195.4. Part of me is saying, If I had not gotten my act together by keeping track of everything that I ate this weekend, and stayed the wild ride of salt intake...well, a lot of "what ifs" played in my head. And....I'm on Day 3 of no caffiene, no coffee, no excess creamer w/Splenda. The family is still alive.

Cheers to a great Monday for everyone!

I am sooo excited. Today marks 2 weeks back on track. I weighed in this morning and I lost 13 lbs!

Now I'm off to drop my dd at preK for the 1st time! I'm excited and nervous for her.

have a great day

Checking in!

WOW, Jess. No X in front of the L for your daughter! YIPPEEE!!! I remember my first time on this woe and how absolutely jump-up-and- down thrilled I was to put on clothes that didn't have that dreaded X...or worse the double X!!! I know you have got to be some kind of serious inspiration to her, too. And she'll be an inspiration to her classmates this year and who knows...it'll keep going until the fat problem in this world is cured by Atkins dieting! Well...we all have big dreams.

I start working out at the gym today. I should have started Saturday but pulled the muscle of my calf Saturday morning and barley limped most of the weekend. But Monday's a good start day so I'll be doing "something" at the gym today, even if it's just a few minutes on the stationary bike and some upper body. It'll be doing something at the gym and that's always a plus.

NOTE TO ALL - but mostly to self....DRINK DRINK DRINK that water! I didn't drink all I should this weekend and found myself a couple of pounds UP! I KNOW it's failure to meet the water requirements this weekend. So...
DRINK DRINK DRINK that water!!!!!

Good morning everyone!
Wow, Jess, you dd has done a great job. I bet she feels so proud of herself. What fun to be young and shopping for new, smaller clothes!

I'm back from an out of town wedding. It was held outside in the Virginia countryside. The food was bbq type food--fried chicken, beans, cole slaw etc. I had pulled pork w/o the bun and w/o the sauce. The slaw was green and didn't taste sweet so I had a little of that too. Legal food was scarce this weekend and I thought I'd come home skinny, but I weigh the same.

Drink drink drink...that's my motto today!

Good Morning
Congrats to Apple and Tomorrow on the wt loss!
Jess, I hope your daughter has a great day! What a wonderful accomplishment! You and she deserve to be proad...
I'm finally free for a few days and have big plans! Housework, yard work, errands...etc... all's well on the Atkins' front... I'm feeling remarkably well despite TOM. I know it's due to this WOE/WOL! Hip pain is totally gone. That feels fantastic!
Hope everyone has a fantastic day!
