Hello!!

I need to be part of a buddy group. I mean, I do have one, but there aren't as many people in there as there are you guys. So I'm jumping boats and hanging with you guys!! =) Happy Saturday!! Tomorrow will be day 14 for me and I think I'll be on extended induction for a little while long until I go to owl. =)

Yay, I see new buddies, welcome all!! Yay for staying strong at the movies Cori, good job!! WTG on the exercise Monie and Bill, I still have to get fully on that wagon, but still trying to finish up this class, all assignments are done, and 3 tests to go!! Bill, I hope you do hit the 30 pound mark!! vanessa, I doubt one beer will hurt ya, don't worry!!


I am down 14 pounds total, I must be back to losing now, I am so relieved. Made some yummy stuff today, I made the pumpkin custard with whepped cream on top, just like pumpkin pie, minus the crust. Also made fried tuna cakes and stuffed peppers, and cheeseburger casserole yesterday. BF is glad to be back on track too. He has been freezing bottles of water to bring in the cooler as ice packs, so I think he plans to bring food this week, so I may have to make the broccoli bacon crunch salad he likes and other stuff.

Yeah, sickening how he still loses when only halfway on plan, huh??

Ok, gotta read one more chapter, hope everyone is doing good!!

thanks for the congrats everyone, maybe someday when I go to the movies I'll be brave enough to try out diet soda and see how it goes for me.

Sorry I haven't been checking in a lot also, lots of work occupying my time lately, although I have been sticking to plan, with room for improvement in the water and exercise department.

Keep up the good work friends and I promise to become more involved in the community again, having let it slide for a few days.

Tomorrow marks the end of my third week on the diet, have yet to decide if I will weigh and measure in or wait another week. I'll be back tomorrow, sleep tight all!

Hi everyone, another hot one here in Ohio. Used to hate it but sweating away the pounds is working for me Just picked up an old Billy Banks Taebo 8 minute work out tape. Watched it through, did not use it yet. Looks like something i could do at my pace. Plan on using it when it rains and i can not walk. Started walkiing and 20 minutes was killer. Now i am doing 40 minutes at a pretty quick pace. This WOL is really wonderful. Hope you all have a great Sunday.

LOL Bill, I DO have these ankle weights.....

I told BF tonight that I am going to lose more than him this week, nynah nynah nynah, I could tell it got his competitive side going. LOL! I told him it is because I am going to work out every day this week starting tomorrow, and continue eating right while he is still ordering burgers on the road, hehe! I am using reverse psychology and he knows it, but he hates to be beat! We'll see how it works!

f4n, I love the Taebo tapes, I have a 3 disk set that I am going to do this week, they are so much fun! It is a good idea to watch them first though. They are a challenge, but at the same time, not too hard to follow like some vids with fancy footwork, I end up giving up on them!! Well off to bed so I can get up and do my workout!!!

I hope everyone gets up and starts their week with exercise and the will to lose a few more pounds!!!

Thank you all for the nice welcome I want to welcome the new and say a big hello to the not so new

Bill.. in regards to if my hubby is joining me not by his choice LOL but I figure as long as the food I'm making tastes good enough for him to love, then he'll be on it alot with me and not even notice. haha Well I can always dream can't I? So far he's absolutely loved the shrimp I made and the omelette, which makes me feel very awesome inside cause I've never in my life cooked shrimp till 2 days ago! He said I made it then and tonight better than he's ever made it! That says alot, since he's a pretty good cook. I need to add.. my other half isn't over-weight. His support and encouragement means the world to me and then some!

Tonight we went to friend's for a BBQ.. OMG.. talk about being faced with so many temptations so soon on Atkins! I was surrounded by boiled potatoes, carrots, and things like garlic bread! Mmmmmm.. I just invision placing it right onto my hips or butt, etc.. laugh and get over it! I had steak with spice on it, shrimp fried in butter and garlic, 1/4 sliced cucumber (if that) and 6-9 mini baby pickles.. ohh and of course water! (while they drank Budweiser) All in all I think I did pretty good.

I want to encourage all of you that have found some form of excercise to do and are doing it, no matter to what level as a lil is better than none at all! I wish I could get into doing something.. anything.. I'm just not there yet. I am considering the step challenge (if that's what it's called?) It sounds like something I could do.

Well I hope everyone had a great Saturday, and that you may have an even better Sunday!

Morning all - today's my official weigh in day and ..... I'm down 6! Wasn't expecting to keep losing like this after the first 2 weeks. Thought 2 lbs in a week would be great.

My goal for the upcoming week is to walk 3-4 miles, and to stay off the scales until next Sunday. I really got carried away this last week - was weighing all the time.

Sassy - way to stay strong at the BBQ!

Bekka - welcome to the group!

Hope everyone has a good day.

Page 7 replies....company still here...

EGADS Val...no 6 kids for me. I stopped at 2, a boy and a girl. Try spaghetti squash. It is good. Congrats on the inches lost!

Andie...glad to hear you are feeling better.

Cori...how are you feeling??

Mike...Sorry to hear about your stumble. Glad to hear that you learned it was not worth it. Now it will not happen again...RIGHT!?? Pick yourself up and get right back on track right away. So long as you do not use it as an excuse to continue eating illegal..you know...well I may as well eat whatever I want all day and start again tomorrow...that is not good. Getting back on track right away is.
