Morning STACers. I'm down another pound and a half this morning. I should've cut the yogurt a long time ago!! lol

There is such a great vibe in here this morning. Everyone seems to be in a good place whether they've lost, gained or stayed the same.

Make it a great day!!

Good morning STACers! i see we are all feeling sunshiney and positive. i also had a loss, small but worth of calling a loss because really i have been calling myself 190 even though it was 190.6 and 190.4 and 190.2 and then just plain 190...well this morning i was 189.4 so i am feeling good. i certainly wish it was a woosh but i know that as a STACer i can expect things to happen more slowly. I got in all my water yesterday and going for a super long walk tonight as well as lunges and dips in a few minutes so i am sticking to my goals. ketosis is in full swing and my appetite decreases daily and my energy is through the roof. I LOVE THIS WOE!!!

And a Late Good Morning to you early posters! After a birthday cake disaster on Monday for my 8 yr olds b-day, today is my 3 yrs olds b-day and I'm 1000000% committed to not even sniffing the frosting. I've been excercising and my 2,000 trips to the bathroom a day, confirm that water intake is great. So I'm proud of myself. OH - and I haven't had an Atkins bar in 2 1/2 days....withdrawing painfully. But my spirits are up, thanks to you guys. I haven't weighed myself either, I'm panicking over that, but I think it's for the best.

Sandy, I've had IBS for sooo long. The pain that makes you nauseas. But it's amazing how it isn't nearly as bad when I'm loyal to Atkins. I still slip up now and again (I'm no Atkins saint, though I wish I was) but I KNOW I'll pay for it and it helps me avoid such things for the most part. It never fails that when I eat especially bread, I pay for it dearly and you are sooooo right. It is soooooo not worth it. We know not to stick our hands in a fire because it will burn, when will we learn not to put bread in our mouths when we know the agony that will without doubt follow?

It seems to be bread that really sets me off too.. I LOVE bread...waaaa

Here I am again. Feeling a bit better about myself today. I got through yesterday's desire to binge by taking a sandwich bag full of provalone cheese and pepperoni slices. The scale actually seemed to move downward a hair this morning. I really need a new scale. My ancient eyes have a hard time reading the small print and I seriously question its accuracy. Still no news about my daughter's blood work. I hope we find out something before the weekend. I am on pins and needles.

Good for you, mommagoose! I know this is a rough time and that temptations are strong, but you're really holding it together there.

FYI, pregnancy hormones do a number on joints and tendons. I just remembered last night that a friend of mine had some pretty awful pain in the joints and swelling while pregnant. They ran tests and determined that there was nothing wrong. Our ob-gyn, who happens to also be a friend, told her that this is fairly frequent among pregnant women and that it would go away a few months after childbirth, diminishing gradually as the hormones went back to normal.

She was right.

Linda I will continue to hold your daughter and you in my prayers ........

Meena I am soooooooooo happy for you! girl I would never let another drop of yogurt touch those lips of yours! LOL

To everyone else Hello!!!!!!!!!

I went to my foot doc today and it looks like I am in need of surgery for my toe ....... it's exactly what I was hoping it was not, a calcium growth or bone spurr sticking up and irritating my toe from the inside ...... So I go in on the 16th and have it taken out! I am glad to have an answer but was just hoping for an easier quicker fix! This means no running for at least a month and winter will be upon me before I know it after that ....... I will find other alternatives I am working on making all my October goals dispite the surgery I thik I still can do them if I step it up a little!

Lisa I'm stealing your mantra .......... Complete Faith is it?????

Good morning! well, okay, good afternoon!
After my late night of work last night I stayed in bed as long as possible, then took off to my bible study... It was so good and ended up answering more questions I've been pondering lately... ie. root causes of addiction etc... so timely! Then my step mom came over for a crochet lesson... now we're just hanging out watching Oprah... making a roast for dinner... yum. Glad to hear about the losses Sandy and Partytrouble! awesome!
