I just want to introduce myself as I melt in this heat. My name is Marie, I've been LC'ing since January with ups and downs, as is usual, I think.

Anyway, I like the idea of having a journal and will try starting one if I don't completely melt first

Hi Marie, welcome to the forum!

You've done very well, congratulations!
Umm, I'm assuming the goal weight of 05 is a typo?



Cheers.

Hi Marie - must say that I love your sig line! I have days like that all the time...

Welcome to the forum!

Hey Marie...

Welcome to our fun forum! You started low-carbing right around the same time I did, I think. Glad to see it's going well for you. Enjoy the 4th of July -- if you're like me, you'll be enjoying it inside with the air conditioning on!

I will be spending the 4th inside with as much A/C as possible. Got home tonight and the A/C wasn't working. I was ready to find a hotel to stay at, but called our regular repair guy who told me it was time and a half if he came out after hours, double time pay tomorrow. He was able to talk me through a few things and it came back on, so I'm going to keep my fingers crossed! Apparently we have a box put on the A/C system by BG&E that is supposed to give us a discount on our bill (haven't seen one) but it's also to allow them to shut off power to the A/C if a business needs the power more. I do believe I'll be calling them Friday to either get a big credit on my bill for the past four years or to tell them to come remove it, or maybe both. I can dream, right?

Anyway, thanks again for the warm welcome!

Welcome!

I hope that your air conditioning is on and working. I have to admit that I am an air con junkie. I have felt guilty about it in terms of the energy it uses and the stress on the environment, but I just get too crankly, irritable and annoying and annoyed when I am too hot: just the kind of mood that might be conducive to inappropriate eating.

I, too, love your sig line.
