once again....

Hi Sam...a fellow Canuck. Seems I have been running into a few of us on the board lately.

You are doing GREAT. I envy the 9 mile walking. Thats a lot of walking girl!

As they say "work the plan and it will work for you".

We had some snow, but not too much. I can still see my grass through it! YAY.

This WOL really works. I adjusted my goal a bit and am happy with Size 10 or 162lbs. If I lose a bit more, good, if not, then thats okay too.

I have been dieting my entire life and this is the first thing that has EVER worked for me. Here I am 50 years old and finally something worked. Well, better late than never.

I really want to tone up a bit, but I really hate exercise..hmmm...that could be a problem huh?

I'm trying to adopt the "eat to live rather than the live to eat" theory. I think I've come a long way, but as always, a work in progress.

Nice to meet you. Come 'round to my journal and visit sometime!

By the way...B.C. is beautiful!

Oooops got on a roll there....and forgot to mention...I'm certain you are gaining muscle and losing fat. As we all have come to learn...muscle weighs more than fat and you are losing inches...YAY YOU!

So, tonight is the Metallica concert, and of course we are stopping at the infamous Broadway Pizza so my husband can eat. I will have a salad at Mcdonalds or something I suppose. I dont find holidays hard, or get togethers, nothing like that. I do however find events harder to manage, maybe because I am out and not in a "secure zone". Most of the time, it really isnt the food I have issue with, but the alcohol. I think tonight it will be harder to not drink than anything. Ugh. I will try to not feel defeated today as the scale is still clinging to that 178, going into the second week of that now. I dont know what it is about the 10 marks I have so much trouble with, the last time I was on Atkins as well as this time. 180, then a pound or two, then I sit for weeks, then I break it, then I will get to 170, then loose a pound or two, then sit for weeks, then it will break as well. So, anyway, here is to not drinking tonight, yay. The concert better be so kick *** my head spins around. Argh.

Sam

Hello! I am also from Surrey - but Surrey in England!
Sounds like you are doing well. Have you started a journal? I absolutely love the journal chats forum and have already made some great atkins friends. x
