Morning - I have to get ready for the farmer's market and honestly I'm just tired. I am so worked up about this dang cookie exchange tomorrow night that I was awake thinking of cookies. It wasn't super late but still. And it doesn't have anything to do with EATING the cookies - it has to do with BAKING the cookies! I messed up 3 dozen yesterday because the recipe was way off so I'll probably be making more this afternoon if I can get to it.

I'm hoping today's farmer's market goes quickly - I only have eggs (70 dozen to sell) so once I sell out I'm done for the day and I so need to get to the grocery store!

Oh well need to go and start loading up

Good Morning All!

Well I am a little perplexed. I am up 2 pounds for no reason. I haven't eaten anything different and I am not expecting TOM for another week or so. Maybe this is just another one of those bouncing around times I went through before. I think last time I was bouncing from 191-193 for a few weeks. I guess I will have to wait and see. I just really hope it does not keep going up. I really like being firmly in the 180's!

hi guys, good morning!

sandy, great job on resisting cake/gumbo at your son's bday party. and you DEFINITELY can tell you are losing wt based on your pictures. your family is always gonna be the last ones to say anything, tho, right?? you keep on keeping on, you are doing a great job.

hi chris, nice to hear from ya!

dana, i love hearing the farm updates!!! it is so cool to me that you work/live on a real farm and sell stuff at the market every weekend....so foreign to me yet so interesting!
don't worry about the cookies, everyone loves cookies even if they aren't perfect.

starr, not to worry about the 2 lbs. you will get back down in the 180's in no time.

i cheated again last night at a christmas party....i ate a sandwich for dinner. didn't think twice. ate the sandwich AND a whole bunch of chips. what is my problem? i will tell you what my problem is, i am getting close to goal and getting sloppy. this is the classic thing jess warns us about, feeling like you can go OFF plan and still maintain. i know i will not be able too. and i feel SICK today. therefore, it is back to plan and NO MORE DEVIATIONS. i want to be at goal by the end of january, and if i keep this up i will gain back the 60 plus pounds i have lost in no time. help me stay comitted, guys....keep me accountable PLEASE!!!!

Re: Saturday Roll Call 12/15/07

Checking in this sunny Sat. morning. The calm before the storm. Big N'Easter to start tonight sometime. Predicting over 12"...time will tell. DH is trying to get all our weekend errands done today. I'm of no help as have been very ill since Wed. night. Yesterday afternoon was the first time I was out of bed for more than 5". Evidently I drank diluted Gatorade & ate some toast in my 48 hours of delurium. Up today but no ball of fire. Had some fluffy scrambled eggs & that seems to be settling.

I'm rambling...hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!

Re: Saturday Roll Call 12/15/07

Happy Saturday!

I'm one happy lady this morning - I finally hit 115

That was my min-goal and I did it!!

I went to my Mom's Night Out with my girlfriends and didn't eat anything (I ate before) or have any cocktails - just sipped on my water. Even though I knew I wouldn't cheat, i'm still dang proud of myself.

Silly question: Does anyone else find it theraputic to bake? I find myself baking like a crazy lady for my family. I'm not tempted to eat anything I make - Maybe just having those smells in my house helps me deal with sweet cravings?

Going to the gym today to do a little running and lift weights. That BOSU class yesterday was awesome and today, I feel it (burn baby, burn..)

Hope you all have a great Saturday!!

Re: Saturday Roll Call 12/15/07

Good morning,all!

I've had a lazy couple of hours, waking early but spending time drinking coffee and reading all snuggled up under the covers. Nice and relaxing!

Weight is still up, but my jeans are loose, and I think I can feel a difference in the entire body. I'm really getting bored with the scale, and it's clear that it's not changing while I am.

We don't have a ton of food in the house but I am treating myself to soy flour pancakes this morning. This afternoon when dh gets home from work I'll do a grocery. Almost out of salad fixings and cauliflower - yikes!

I'm going to do the nail thing and a bit of shopping this afternoon, but will save most of that for tomorrow. I have a secret santa deal at work so I have to buy a bunch of gifts for that, and then for my aides, etc.

Jess - I want the recipe for faux french toast casserole - only if it's good, though!

Have a wonderful day,all.

Good Morning Everyone!

Had a great day yesterday. I stayed on plan and am now heading into day four today. My husband is doing Atkins again too which makes it a lot easier!

Sandy
Isn't it nice when people start noticing your efforts and making comments about your weight loss? Good for you. Kudos for passing on the cake last night!

I have to go start cleaning the house. I feel lazy this morning. I will probably feel better once I get going.

Jess
How do you make french toast casserole? It sounds very interesting.

Hi all,

I finally received my new scale and I am happily returning the other one today...and I finally have weighed in under 190!

Have a great Saturday.

Re: Saturday Roll Call 12/15/07

Good Morning STAC'ers,

I am still very sore and will be trying to figure out how to walk in heels tonight for the big Christmas Party.

Still trying to make it through induction a full day with out any cheats. I will try to make up several dishes today- but simply standing up in the kitchen let alone shopping with my back hurting doesn't sound so good. Wish me luck!

Peace!

Julie

Re: Saturday Roll Call 12/15/07

Good afternoon! I'm up a pound, but it's my own fault for having wine and salty almonds last night. Yeah, I know, they're a weakness of mine.

I got my hair done on Tuesday. I used to have to hunt through all the smocks there to find one that was 2X. Now they've bought a bunch of 1X and 2X and I have to hunt through all of them to find a regular one!! Yea!

I went clothes shopping yesterday. After looking at some kids clothes, I went over to the women's plus size section and then remembered that I could wear regular XL and I was confused. Where's the regular section? I've never shopped over there!!

My weight loss is going very slowly, but I'm definitely smaller. I think next year I'll have to get my rings sized. They're getting annoyingly loose.

Gotta go do some more Christmas shopping before the big storm hits...

**DebOnAtkins** · December 15, 2007, 11:47 AM

Re: Saturday Roll Call 12/15/07

WoW! Sheepie

Smaller Smock
Smaller clothes
having to get your rings sized!
