Re: Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

Good morning everyone! Woke up to a sheet of snow. Looks like we're getting our white christmas late this year! I can't park my car in the garage, dh has tons of stuff stored there, so I'll have to spend some time brushing off the snow off my car. Hopefully it won't snow too much more, and then maybe by the time I go out for my appointments later this afternoon, the sun will have melted it Tried on some pants, that were tight on me during the holidays, and now I have some space to move, they're actually loose on me. That slim in 6 program really does work! Have a great day everyone!

Wow, sounds like everyone's starting to get some snow! It's pretty chilly & windy here in LA (even blew open a couple of my windows last night) but I don't think snow is in my future . Feeling okay this morning--less appetite but getting ciggie cravings for some reason . Gonna kill those with some more water . Have a great, cheat-free day--you're worth it!

Happy Thursday STAC'ers-

Congrats PARTY- You are doing so well- size 8 wow... You inspire me- THANKS! I love your quote today. I can really appreciate it.

You ALL are doing a great job

Well I should be able to get back on track today. I have had a busy week with my regional manager and my house is a mess, the food choices are slim, and the laundry has piled up.... Ugggg so much work!

I will be busy trying to clean up the house before a lunch meeting.

Have a great day!

Re: Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

Well, I fell back asleep this morning with a cat on my neck and a cat on my belly and one on my feet, and when I woke up, I was sooooo stiff! And had no feeling in my arm........And then I got up, and by golly, I remembered VERY clearly that we did a major abs session yesterday at the gym......lol

And then.......................I got on the scale.

<sigh> You know, or you remember, that I lost 35 lbs between July 29 and about Halloween. And then I hit a stall. And it lasted. And lasted. And in early January I decided to go back on induction. And then I GAINED 3 lbs. And another 3. ANd had a spazz. But never gave up. And gained another 1/2. Then lost it. And then recently lost another lb. Which left me at 205.

Today the scale says 199.5
I was, of course, in complete shock. I got off the scale. I got back on. 199.5 I thought back. I did NOT get up to pee last night. There was no whooshie. The scale must be broken. DAMN!

Had a cup of coffee. Thought about it. Decided to try another scale. Drove to the gym. Got on the scale. 199.

Drove home, tears streaming down my face. Am sitting here, so damned proud of myself for sticking to this no matter what was happening with the scale. So proud of myself for not giving up, for not starting to eat junk, for not doing anything but waiting and allowing my body to do whatever it has to do...............

Nothing else that happens today matters, really. I have broken the stall. I'm below 200. I can keep going, and going strong.

So I'm going for a run soon, and then working on my thesis, then driving dd to the airport - she's going to Tucson for the weekend - and then, I'm lighting candles, setting a nice table, and I'm making a romantic dinner for me and dh. I'll be serving chicken and a lovely salad, and two veggies. And for dessert? Panna Cotta - a recipe I got of the atkins.com website long ago. All completely legal. All induction legal. Except that my husband also gets some wonderful sourdough bread.

Re: Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

Congrats Evermind that's awesome!

I'm still doing well here, no TOM yet, still bloated and feeling like I'm going to burst so not weighing until that has passed. But i've been sticking to plan with foods and my water.

Exercise..ehhhh...not so much. i'm not sure why i just can't get back into the grove.

As for the snow: i live in Toronto Canada and people here suddenly forget how to drive when it snows too! you'd think suffering through 8 months of winter every year we'd figure it out by now.


as a matter of fact, it seems like people forget how to drive when it rains too....

Good Morning Everyone!


Wow there have been a lot of WOO HOO moments this morning and I think it is just great.

Evermind
Perserverence even in the face of adversity. It can be so hard to stick with something when you are not seeing the results you expect. I really commend you for sticking with the plan and not giving up. You have every right to be proud! Congratulations on breaking into the 100's

Party
Size 8 huh? That is so wonderful. I remember you from before when I was here. You have worked really hard too and are reaping the rewards of it. It must have felt so good standing there with a size 8 wrapped around you! You go girl!

Dana
Funny, I was writing about my lack of PMS symptoms this month. TOM completely snuck up on me with no warning. I used to get bad cramps, not want to talk to anyone for 2 or 3 days before, cry like crazy over stupid things. I was a mental case. This month......nothing. I can live with this.

I have my own little yahoo moment this morning. I fit into my smaller jeans size 9 (I was a 10) and I will have you know that I can now snap my little blue cordorouy jacket closed in the front. LOL even with TOM in the house.

Jess
You are such a good mommy to your little puppy. He is a cutie.

Gotta run break is ovah!!!!

Re: Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

Evermind - How proud you must feel. You are inspiring to those other people who have hit a stall that sticking with it really pays off. I can't wait to see how quickly the pounds will continue to fall off.

Colleenie - I am laughing so hard at your poop story! I had a similar experience when visiting a friend. Her 2 year old did that but then drove his tractors through it like it was mud or something. Lucky for her (unlucky for me), she was on bed rest so guess who got to clean it up, Yep, me!

I am holding strong today. I really have not had an apetite. I skipped dinner but will have a small snack to tide me until morning.
