Re: Looking for a weight loss buddy

You probably saw my post about Pizza Hut's wings...evil empire they are! How are things going for you today? Did you enjoy your Wii Fit? Our Wii just sits upstairs and is never used. I think I am too cheap to buy many games for it. I have a heard time playing video games...they frustrate me.

Today is my day to keep on track...oooh how I wish I would have just cooked last night...I was running around trying to find dress shoes for my 9 year old. Daddy is taking her to a father/daughter dance this weekend and she is soooo excited!

We are going out this weekend and I have already emailed Texas Roadhouse to see if they inject their steaks with any hidden illegal stuff. I am waiting to hear back. I am going to make a point to look up nutrition information BEFORE I eat at a restraunt. EVIL PIZZA HUT!

Anyhow...I did measure myself and all my numbers are the same except my waist...2 inches gone forever. My pants have been feeling looser.

I hope all is well your way...have a great day!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shame on you for that pizza hut!! Nothing you can do about it now - just get back up (which you have done) and move on.

We will all have times like that. Unfortunately. But the good thing is that you moved on back immediately to atkins and did not let it derail you forever.

I have been enjoying my wii fit plus. It really shows me how out of shape I am. I also played tennis last night for 3 hours in a very hard grueling match. It felt great to be back out on the courts and my nose held up nicely!

I am down 1 more pound this week and need to re-take measurements and have hubby get those pictures in!! I am ready to compare to the ones I have posted in the before section. My goal is to have them by tomorrow!!

I am glad you are feeling really good again. The whole pizza hut thing was an eye-opener for me. I will look before I leap from now on.

Anyway...it is SNOWING here and beautiful! This is our first year in the snow so we will see how I feel about it in 6 months. Yesterday I ate really well and this morning I lost part of the 2.5 pounds I was up. I am at 175.5 today AND I had to pull my belt to the next notch this morning. That felt good. Even tho the scale is barely budging I know I am losing inches.

I have to get on top of my water today. We have been really busy. I can not wait until this weekend...we have so much to do. We have winter clothes to buy, some furniture for our loft to buy, halloween costumes to buy, AND hubby and I are going out on Saturday evening. My teenage daughter is watching out toddler...hopefully they don't ring my phone off the hook...

Anyhow...another day in paradise...feeling great here.

Keep up the good work and soon your 1 pound down will be met my next mini goal!!!! You are doing GREAT!

Hi Carrie,

I just typed this big ole thread and the stupid internet went out on me.

Sorry I havent checked in since last wed. Last wed my uncle had several strokes, a heart attack, and has since required someone to sit with him 24/7. My parents are too old so it has been myself and my sister doing it all. So I hve either been at hopsital or home asleep. We are hoping this weekend to put him in a nursing home/rehab center for 30 days to help him get stronger and then we will not need to have constant care at the hospital.

I have done ok on atkins since this started with him. I have mainly ate salads with some grilled chicken on top. I havent had as much water as I would like but cant dwell on that now.

I also have to get my book to take with me to the hospital and read my part by satruday. But I can get it done in that time!

To top off my very bad week I got laid off the day after my birthday last week the day before this all happened to my uncle. I REALLY need a vacation!! Now I am trying to send out some resumes today while I am at home resting some.

So how has your week been??? Again sorry I have not checked in - been no time.

Hi Carrie

How is your week going? Just wanted to check in and see how things were going? I finally got my book reading in while at the hospital yesterday so that is a plus!


I have to crack down on my foods for sure!! I have gotten so lax..........
I have to run so I will check in later.

Have a great weekend.

Re: Looking for a weight loss buddy

Hi Carrie-

YOu still doing ok? How is the weather your way??

I am at home trying to find a job this week since I was laid off. It makes it MUCH easier to do atkins at home that is for sure. I also have two sick kiddo's so it has been fun!


My exercise is back on track. I am loving my wii fit plus. I have had so much playing. I also played lots of tennis this weekend so I burned around 3000 calories just from that. My matches are always super long and grueling.

I just wanted to check in and see how your doing. I Hope all is well!
