  • Roll Call~~Thursday July 24

    Good morning STACERS!

    A quick hello & how are you all this Thursday AM? I'm in shock it is nearing the end of July. Rainy here in the Northeast. Need to get ready for work~~~I'd rather cruise ADBB!

    Have a great day & be kind to yourself!

    I agree, too much rain lately. Thunderstorms last night were fierce. Didn't sleep well last night, I kept waking up feeling all jittery and blazing hot. Last time I did this I had the same issue during induction, my body was just a little bundle of burning fat. Hopeit passes soon, the one thing I hate to miss is sleep!

      Morning :0) day 4 of induction, so far a I feel pretty good, the headache has calmed down, I did breakdown and make some decafe this am. It must be in my head cuz I just dont enjoy it as much. But thats good too cuz I pour most of it out and get water. Looking forward to a wonderful day and wish you all the same.
      Started out with some ham eggs and chees and now im ready to get at it.

        Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I checked in. But I think I need to get back at it for these last pounds. I WANT THEM OFF!!

        Granted - I don't get tired of everyone telling me how great I look now and my pants falling off.... but at the same time I know I need to lose the last bit. I'm now fluctuating around the 137-139 range which looks kinda odd to me because I can remember the last 2 numbers being reversed such a short time ago!

        Next week is the 4-H fair so we have been getting ready. Yesterday I did have to taste test my daughters choc chip cookies she is entering into the fair and then I had a kettle corn craving last night and yes I gave in. But otherwise I had been doing really well. This weekend should be interesting as I am making a bunch of bread for the fair and some muffins.

        We've had 2 kids from Northern Ireland staying with us the last month and honestly (bad as it sounds) I am ready for them to head home. Love them to death - great kids.... just lazy which doesn't really work here. They leave next Wednesday and then I think my stress level will go down just a bit. I can take a little bit of laziness (hey - I get lazy sometimes too!) but yesterday while it was raining I couldn't even get them out of their PJ's!!! UGH!!!! Oh well - 1/2 a week left

        Hope everyone is doing well.... I'll do my best to check back in every morning again just to be held accountable SOMEPLACE

            Hi Everyone, this is my first time posting to this thread. I am on day 2 of induction and so far so good.

            Not much rain in sight here (Southeast U.S.). But occasionally, we have had some seriously loud and dangerous thunderstorms that come out of nowhere. No spinoff storms from Hurricane Dolly are in our forecast either.

            Well, I'm off to do some work. Everyone, have an on-plan day.

              Good morning everyone! Just wanted to check in and say hello. I have stalled for the past few days, but I think it may be because I haven't been drinking as much water as I usually do. Hopefully I'll break the plateau today. I just added a weightlifting routine to my cardio last night and I feel GREAT! I forgot how much I enjoy it.

              Wishing you all a successful Thursday!

                  I wish I were still in bed! I've been super tired lately!

                  still on track.

                  I was stuck at a car dealership for an unbelieveable amount of time last night, and ended up STARVING. luckily I'd had the foresight to throw some individually wrapped cheese in my purse, so I didn't get my murderously angry low blood sugar thing going on.

                    Hi everyone,
                    here I am... plugging along...trying to get back on track. It's good to be here for inspiration! Today I'm going to quilt, clean house, and exercise... not sure what yet. It's still nice and cool here. I'm scheduled for a massage tonight.

                      Hi, fellow quilter!

                      I am sore from my walks on Tues and Wed, my calves feel like they are locked up, wow. I may have to find a route with less severe inclines, at least for a while. I can't even think of exercising today. I was scheduled to work today, but since I ended up working two depts yesterday, pulling a double, I am off today. And it is a good thing!

                      Ate two eggs with portabellos for breakfast. Lunch will likely be baked chicken and some greens... gotta eat your greens! I have 3 blocks of a 9 block quilt done, gonna see how many I can knock out today, they are big blocks, 16 inch. Also planning to choose a pattern for placemats, we'll see how far I get with that.

                      We got one spinoff storm from Dolly, I expected a bit more being in East TX, but it was welcome rain.

                      Everyone be well and have a great day!

                        Hi all!! Hope you're having a great day. This is my late check in...had brussels sprouts and ham for lunch. Yum! Have been saving my weigh in and measurements for two weeks until our Biggest Loser weigh in at work. Can't wait for Wednesday!! I can tell that my pants are looser ...meaning they actually go on without having to lie down! lol What a life! I am very excited!

                          oops, posted on yesterday's thread by accident. I'll copy and paste (I wrote "pasta" at first...I wonder what that means) here:

                          Hi Everyone-

                          Still here and doing well...staying OP with eating, water, and exercise (doing much better with exercise this time around!). I still have not weighed myself because I feel so great and I don't want to get lost in the pound madness! I am already noticing things jiggle less when I walk and my suit pants feel more loose...all good things. This week is TOM so when it's over I'm going to weigh and measure.

                          DBF went to the doctor for a physical today and he is down 10 lbs. since I started him on Atkins on July 9th! I'm so proud of him and he said he already feels much better...now I just need to get him to incorporate more exercise! He has about 20-25 lbs left to go to be at his ideal weight. I'm not sure how much I have since I've avoided the scale, but I started out needing to lose about 30 lbs. give or take.

                          We'll see what next week brings.

                          Tonight I'm home to do the 30 Day Shred DVD and run a mile and then make us dinner on the grill and relax for a bit. I so look forward to my workouts now!

                            Hello Stacers!
                            It is cool here today also, no rain though. I had porkchops yesterday and my stomach felt yucky this am! I guess I had not had pork in a long time. Today has been a good day thus far! Just a little drama at work. Lunch was hamburger patty with cheese and salad! The scales are put away until next week....My hubby is due home on the 3 or 4th of August ( R and R) and I have to start planning to stay on Atkins, no backing down, no exceptions to eat off plan. I want to get these 50lbs off! I have not had SF jello in months. Is it OK for induction? When I get the sweet tooth I have a cup of tea with splenda or high protein snack.


                            Sorry for the rambling...have a great stick to the plan Atkins day!!!!

                              Hi all, I'm still hanging in here although I've had cravings for 2 days. I managed to stay legal and I think the SF jello is doing it because I've been eating too many of them. I drink tea for sweet cravings to but I had gotten tired of it. No more jello for a while just to see it that's what's doing it.
                              We had some storms this morning but it's beautiful now.

                              Have a great day.
