Roll Call 12/12

[OzLover]

Good Morning Stacers!

No wise words of wisdom this AM. Instead I'm requesting some positive thoughts/energy be sent my way. Have this cloud of negativity & bad mood hanging over me & can't shake it. I believe it is due to the stress of the past month. I know it's bad when I can't even stand myself. Today is day 42 Cheat Free for me. I'm not concerned about feeding the emotions with unfriendly food. I won't resort back to former habits!!!

Thanks! STACERS ARE THE GREATEST!!!

good morning to everyone!! what a great day today is. God has given us another day wrapped in beauty and possibility and hope.....and if you believe it you can achieve it!! go after what you want in life....God is leading the way for all of us

and i am not an overly religious type of person just rooted in strong faith!!...and most importantly, we all must believe in ourselves because that is where God resides.

Re: Roll Call 12/12

Morning yall,

I am having a tough time this week....trying to decide whether to accept a job offer in Atlanta or stay here in Arizona. Love my work, friends, etc here, but my family is back in the South....trying to maximize the salary offer!! Very stressed about this decision.

On the upside, I am about 3 pounds lower than my ticker wt but have only been x 2 days, so no updating ticker. But it feels good to fit into stuff!

Glenda, much love and positive energy going your way! I am surprised to hear you say you have this cloud, because you have been such a source of support and a cheerleader for everyone else EVERY DAY, so hang in there!

Vamps, be careful with your kidney infxn. If you are still having pain and your antibiotics are done, GO FOR A FOLLOW UP!!! Hang in there.

Heidi, you are a busy woman! Keep it going!

Hi Sheepie, Chris, nice to hear from ya!!

Re: Roll Call 12/12

Morning, all!

I'm sending positive thoughts out to everyone in need, including myself. I've got a stressful couple of days ahead, and then everything should settle down.

Not much news. Scale says I'm up, but my body doesn't feel it, so it's just the water going up and down and up and down and up.......<sigh> I'm just going to keep on truckin'. This is a test of my patience, for sure.

I have good food packed for lunch, not that I have much appetite. But I keep eating, and eating the good stuff, because I know this woe works. And that's all that matters!

Re: Roll Call 12/12

Morning Everyone! I was so frustrated this morning...I weighed in at 195.5 (on my wonky scale). I know this is impossible being 191 the day before so I went and brushed my teeth and went back and weighed 190.5. If I needed any motivation to return that damn scale to Costco this is it. Have a great day everyone and thanks for letting me vent!

Re: Roll Call 12/12

Sending out happy thoughts, 'cause we all wish we could fly.

I was looking at a graph of my weight since I started this WOL and I only seem to lose once a month. But then I was thinking about it and I work out a lot and I was wearing a size 18/20 and I'm now needing to go shopping for 14/16 so I have been losing, just not on the scale all the time.

Stay strong everyone the pre-holidays are almost over. Holidays are fun, but the 3 weeks before are not.

Hello STAC'ers

I am pumped and happy to be here this morning. Thank you for your words of encouragement Sandy they meant a lot! It feels really good to be back and making a 100% commitment after having floated around for several months.

To Vamp and Glenda
I am sorry to hear you guys are feeling down. Sending a hug your way

I have breakfast going right now so I can't stay long. Just wanted to check in and say "Hello"

First day of induction today

Re: Roll Call 12/12

Morning all. Glenda...any chance those blues are PMS? I gotta say that when i get to feeling so nasty i don't even like being around me...it's PMS almost 100% of the time. I know that's not much help but sometimes knowing what's making you feel so grumpy can help you get over it. Also exercise gives you endorphins which elevate your mood So last night i made hot chocolate, mmmmm. So not induction friendly because it contains almond breeze, but i figured it to be about 5 net carbs per serving. And really helped take care of that sweet fix. I will be making some for xmas for myself to help me get through the day. I was thinking of going off plan but i really don't want to. Scale is down to 171 today. I am so stoked. I do wish it were moving faster because New years is closing in but honestly i am pretty much patting myself on the back now anyway. I mean i said 32 pounds by new years. I went off plan for a few days and cheated a few times but i have come darn close at 26 pounds so far. I am halfway to my goal of 145. I am honestly not sure if 145 is my final goal, we'll see when i get there. But as far as i am concerned i am halfway to goal and that makes me happy I hope everyone has a wonderful day and i will send warm energy out to all those who need it. Happy hump day all!!
