Good morning, everyone! I'm debating about wearing green today. I really don't want to because my green shirt has a little hole in it!! However, based solely on history at work, when I don't wear green, it's only the people I would never want to touch me who seem to pinch me....d*mn it!! Going to weigh in later this morning if possible. My scale showed nothing but the "E" for error yesterday. Have a great day!!

Re: Roll Call 3/17/09 St. Patrick's Day!!
Good Morning everyone! Technically I'm not Irish, but my husband is, so I guess that makes me part Irish? IDK?! Anyway, green is my favorite color, so that's what I'm wearing today! No green beer though
I'm sure I'll make it without it!
I haven't weighed since last week Thursday, and I won't until tomorrow. I'll update my ticker then. I hope I've lost more, but I was already up to a nine pound loss on day 4 so I'm cautiously optimistic.
It's supposed to get all the way up to 68 degrees here in Michigan today! Im so excited. It's been a LOOOOOOONG winter!
Hope everyone has a great day and WEAR GREEN! Don't get pinched!

Due to military reqirements, I can't wear green today. I did put green shorts on under my pants though
. It's nice to be able to fit another layer of clothing under pants that were tight a month ago.
I officially am claiming my first loss of the month. I hit 197 this morning. It's actually a bit misleading because when I started lifting I gained 5-6 pounds, so I've been relosing about a half pound a day. Hopefully I'll be posting more losses from here on out.
I was a little heavy handed putting the Dave's Insanity sauce in my chili today. Holy crap it's hot. Definately getting my thermogenics in this morning. A lot of water too.

Top O' The Mornin' To Ya, Lads and Lassies!
Well, being that my last name is Kilpatrick I have the right to do all of the pinching..and don't worry, I'm wearing enough green for everyone today! Giant green hat, shamrock tie, shamrock socks, green beads (I left the one with the shotglass attached to it at home...), a blinking "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" pin, and a green scarf that says IRELAND with shamrocks and two Irish flags on it (a student brought it back from Ireland for me last week). The corned beef and cabbage are cooking at home and the Irish Potatoes are...well, they're still on the shelf at the store. First year in all my life that I won't have one...no Guinness either. The shots of Jameson and Tullemore Dew...they are non negotiable!
Needless to say, I consider this a personal holiday! D*mn, I should have the day off!
285.5 and holding. The weight is coming off at about .5 pounds a day! Unlike others who don't like to weigh every day and love to save up for a BIG loss, I like the accountability of getting on the scale morning, afternoon, and night.
Good day to all, and go easy on that green beer tonight!"People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those of us who are doing it." - George Bernard Shaw

Re: Roll Call 3/17/09 St. Patrick's Day!!
Hi everyone,
You all seem so cheery! Well, I'm not Irish but everyone thinks I am - I'm a redhead. So, when I go out on St. Patrick's day I have a lot of fun.
So, here's my confession. I had a bad Sunday night at my parent's place regarding food. My Mom is such an excellent cook. I resisted everything all weekend and then by Sunday night I was so week so I had some white cake with strawberries. I could have just forgot about it and moved on but no, I had to have some maple sugar from teh sugar bush earlier that day. But it was soooo good. I rarely have it - pure sugar. Anyhow, what is great about this cheat is that I just moved on. So, Monday and today have been back to induction level foods - hope to stay with that until April 12 th when the challenge is over.
Have a good day everyone. S-

HAPPY ST PADDYS! Being as i'm almost completely irish, i am wearing green. Can't believe i'm getting away with it at work so far... since my shirt has a big shamrock on it, and in the middle it says 'LETS GET READY TO STUMBLE!' lol
And i'm with you 'new to atkins' - the Jameson's is non-negotiable, though i will be leaving the brown sugar out of the irish coffees...
i just want to say to all of you: I'M DOWN 13 POUNDS IN 15 DAYS!!! I will continue with an extended induction, i have much more to lose!!
HAPPY DAY TO ALL, AND REMEMBER: EVERYONE'S IRISH ON ST.PADDY'S DAY!~*~Katrina~*~

Re: Roll Call 3/17/09 St. Patrick's Day!!
Happy St. Patricks Day to all who are Irish either by family or adopted otherwise. I'm English/Irish and married a Scott/Irish...I guess that means we're as Irish as we can get with a wild family background
I don't have to wear green...my eyes are green/blue..shades of green any way. It counts because I say it counts.
Hope everyone has a fantastic day...it's a "No Excuse" to eat right day. How can you go wrong with corned beef and cabbage?
So...this begs the question: do you show 'em at when you get pinched to prove you do actually have them on?Originally posted by tfek70 View PostDue to military reqirements, I can't wear green today. I did put green shorts on under my pants though

I'm kind of counter cultural when it comes to color wearing on holidays. I specifically don't wear red on valentines day, and no green for me today either.~Paul~
