Sunday, Jan 6, 2008 Roll Call................

[VetteChic]

Ok.. I know it's only Saturday for most of us on the board right now.. but it is Sunday morning here and I'm too excited to wait til tonight to do roll call.

I haven't cheated even one bite since midnight on New Years and it's paying off so far! As of this morning I'm down by 6.2 pounds. Now I know it's mostly water weight that's gone.. but seeing the numbers go down is enough motivation that watching my husband eat his apple pie at 2 am this morning while he and my daughter played Halo 3... I didn't cave in! Before.. I would have!

Hope everyone has an amazing cheat free day today! And I'm sorry I got the thread started too early, I'll try to wait til night time and wait for the rest of the world to catch up!

Hi it's Sunday here too! It's good that you started the thread earlier for those of us on the other side of the world. Ditto about what you said - I'm also cheat free for 6 days. Yay!! So good to finish the weekend feeling good for a change rather than tired and sluggish. Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning VetteChic.. Do not apolgize for starting the thread early..cause its 5:30 when I signed on this morning and I am glad to see it started since I will be gone all day Congratulations for staying on track! and for resisting that Apple pie!...

I woke up this morning at 4...grrrr.. Tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't.. So of course I am scale obsessed and the scale went back and forth from 252, 253 and 251...so I am so close to be back to my ticker weight.. I know it will come in the next day or so and then I can continue to go down.. I am getting excited..cause soon I will be on the bottom half of the 200's...and since I was pushing 300 that is exciting...

I will be gone all day to Surry..we go to church over there (hour away) and we hang out at my daughter's boyfriends house and then we go back for youth.. So I leave here at 8:30am and don't get home until 9:30 p.m... But I have meals ready to go..just gotta grab some veggies to go with them

Have a great legal day!

Good Morning Early Birds....checking in for accountability. Am on track with my eating plan and exercise committment....scale isn't moving though. Been reading about calories on some other threads...very interesting. I'm up because my water intake is HIGH, lol.
Make it a great day!

Good monring all! Just got up and I think I am coming down with a cold.! bummer! But I am doing good. I visited my mom yesterday and for a half a second I almost fell back into old habits but that was a fleeting thought. I had some cheese and water and was good to go. Today is day...4 I think ...and i am feeling great. I really need to start exercising, I think that is the only way to shape my body I think I will try the tredmil and the stability ball w/hand weights. I will try it!

Re: Sunday, Jan 6, 2008 Roll Call................

Hee hee, so even when I think I'm up early, turns out I'm out! It's only 8:30 here and you all beat me! haha I'm still sleepy too.

Sounds like we still have some great progress going here. I've been getting back toward "getting on track" which is still an accomplishment. With the challenge coming, I'm planning to do a true 2-week induction starting tomorrow. I recently re-read the book and am going to pull it out to review. I'm not sure I ever really did a true induction, so we'll see.

And now I feel guilty because I'm playing hooky from church today. We never do that but gonna today. shhhhh ............

Re: Sunday, Jan 6, 2008 Roll Call................

Morning everyone! I'm exhausted from waiting up for my husband from work which I didn't even finish doing.... I passed out at 12:15am and I'm pretty sure he was home at 12:30. Heck we didn't even stay up that late for new years!

Took a shower now I need to go and do a few chores to get the day at least started and figure out what I am doing today. At this exact moment I just don't want to do anything - but my kitchen is a mess and laundry needs to be done so I'll probably do those things.

Have a great day everyone!

Good Sunday Morning, Fellow STACer's


Hey, VetteChic - it's never too early to start roll call! Thanks for doing it.

Sounds like we've got some great momentum going, and people are feeling better by eating clean - yay, us!

Starr - I've just recently gotten consistent with exercise again (started Monday of past week), and I can't believe how much better I feel already. I just got burned out with exercise at the end of the year, and wasn't motivated at all to do any. After a big break from doing any structured exercise between Thanksgiving and last week, I'm getting back into the groove. I think the key is findng something that you like to do, which is no easy feat. Try different things, and just try to do something, most days of the week.

Sheepie, you're not here yet this morning, but I wanted to thank you for the compliment in yesterday's roll call. The boutique I work in, is owned by my niece. She, her mom (who is my brother's wife), and I, along with a couple of part-time teenage helpers (one of them, another niece), run the boutique. This top (which is technically a jacket, but I wear as a top because the material is light weight, and looks better buttoned up), is from the boutique. My SIL and niece gave it to me for Christmas, and I purchased the necklace there, too. Here is the website, that explains a little bit about the place.

Everyone, have an awesome, legal, active, Atkins day!

Re: Sunday, Jan 6, 2008 Roll Call................

Oh Mitzi I love tha Jacket/shirt and you look fabulous in it!!!!!!


Good Morning everyone! Today is church and then bathing suit shopping time for me ........... I'm anxiety filled about it. LOL stupid I know but for years bathing suit shopping has meant finding something that covers as much fat as possible and is cheap! Today I actually have to figure out what size I need and try and find something that fits my new size and shape. I'm in normal sizes now so no more "dress type" bathing suits. I'm anxious about my body flab ........... I've lost a lot of weight and also fromhaving 7 babies my belly is totally a bowl full of jelly ......... Clothes pull in a cover a lot but bathing suits show every ripple ........ Lord help me!

Staying on track and getting my excercise going strong as well ............ Ahhhhhhh Life is good!

Have a fabulous day

Re: Sunday, Jan 6, 2008 Roll Call................

Good morning, all! Been up and about since 630. I rarely get online on the weekends, so this is cool! It's raining, here, so our plan to rake leaves is gone. Will have to find some other form of exercise today.

Mo - our prayers are with you and your son!

Hope everyone has a great day!
