I always start with yesterday's thread to see if I've missed anything. I think most (all?) do.

Dawn, your picture and your sense of humor remind me so much of a woman I work with. Are you sure you don't have a twin in Maine?

Good Morning Everybody!
It's a beautiful (and well deserved) Sunny day here in Michigan. Sure does brighten ones mood.

Welcome Paris,
this plan works very well, I'm sure it will work for you and your husband. My husband is the same weight he was 20 yrs ago, (makes me sick) but he is very supportive and eats whatever I cook. Actually he likes the LC foods much better than the Lowfat flavorless stuff.

I'm trying higher carbs now, as I'm within 3 lbs of my weight. I will see what happens. It's always tweaking, and more tweaking.

Bawdy; so glad the whoosh fairy visited you! hang on to that chick!

Have a great day everyone!

Dawn-Saturday In the Park-Chicago
Hi Paris, welcome

Happy Saturday! My appetite dropped noticably yesterday, could be TOM leaving the building The BCPs seem to be helping (finally!, you were right Orang ) Now I just need to make it through the month with no spotting.

Yesterday's Menu:

B - 1 Carbwise bar (couldn't stomach anything else) 3 cups coffee w/H&H splenda

L - Tuna Salad (3 oz tuna, 1 HB egg, 1.5 TBS miricle whip light, green onion), 2 handfuls of pork rinds, 1 cyrstal light pink lemonade

S - Pepperoni chips, Diet RC cola

Gym - 25 minutes ellipitical machine, 10 minutes bike, abs (didn't have good energy at all, maybe from the headache?)

D - 6 dollar low carb burger from Carls Jr, no mayo but had ketchup , 32 oz diet coke

S - SF jello w/whipped cream

Welcome Paris

People dancing, people singing and man selling lc sf ice cream!HA Dawn, WTG on the pound loss!!!

Sounds like everyone is in a "Saturday frame of mind today!"

welcome to our crazy-fun little group Paris! So lately we have all been telling how we came up with our user names, Care to venture???

My dh has ALWAYS had a fast metabolism, not to mention the ranch work helps keep it off, but in the last 4 years (he is almost 45 now) he has had to visit the treadmill and give up coke during the winter months to keep his tummy from becoming a shelf! Me I have been battling it since high school and he is so supportive through all of my trials and ups and downs (literally!) And all of my frustrations of not being a normal person for weight! My bestest friend in the entire earth is 5'7 and weighs 120 (on a heavy day) she exercises some and lets me vent to her, BUT she is SO fortunate not to have this constant monkey on her back (so to speak!) I think that alot of people think that they will lose the weight go back to what they were doing, Well that might work if you are 18, but for most of us it is a life long dedication!

Whew now WHERE did THAT vent come from???

Ellie, Good to hear that the bcp have kicked in!!!

Elaine, goodluck on the blood work results! Have you gotten all of your exotic shopping done now? You know you can just mosie out here to complete the exotic fantasy life!HA In May we will be branding, as much as you have been working out you will be able to wrestle calves then!

Wannabe, That is terrific that you are so close to your goal weight!! I have 8-10 pounds to go and it has been an endless process to get the scale moving again! You are so right about the tweaking!


Bawdy, PP is pretty simple that way, I think that the cooking ahead idea is a good one! How are things going with your bowflex??

Renee, Hope your weekend is going well! Write in when you find time!!

Meg, Prayers for you and your family!

Blu Hello!

Unity, Glad to be of help!!

HELLO TO All of our newones/old ones and the lurkers inbetween!

Everyone enjoy your Saturday!!
