I guess I haven't really fell out of site ... but just fell out huh???

I think I've dropped about 10 pounds since I've been here last .. couldn't find my last posting ... I'm still pretty previlant around the board ... just fell off of this thread ...

Actually to my embarassment ... I lost you guys ...
When you bring your activity up in your profile.. which is what I do, they have the "unsubscribe" so totally close to Reply... so I accidentally hit the unsubscribe... and haven't been able to find you guys ... ??? couldn't remember where the original post was...
I do have Amber and Teridoodle in my buddy list ... but that just tells whether thay are on line or not ... OOOOO I'm just so totally confooselled????

Okay I found you again ... traced my tracks through Littlefeats PM... and did a search for the "140" part of the title...

Okay ... It's been a rough couple a days ... ... I did change my pic though ... alittle bit more on the lighter side... and no longer living in the past (last one was about 20 years ago... this one is from about a week ago)

Talk later... and I'm glad to be back....

PrincessPP we are so glad you are back and that I was able to find you. Don't go losing us again.

Like the new picture. Weren't you a redhead before??? Losing weight like you have has really changed your hair color. I'm red headed. Does that mean when I get close to your weight, I will become an attractive blonde??

Never been blonde but, both of my sister's are. I was the only red head born out of the lot. Weird huh?

Glad to see you are on track. It is fantastic!

Blessings,

The other pic was as a blonde too ... always have been blonde, but the other picture being so dark, made it look strawberry ... but nope.... grew up blonde, and always have been blonde ...

I'm glad I found you too ... when I first lost this thread ... I was so upset ... because I liked all the people in here, you, Terry, Amber, Tama ... etc... (I see there are a few new names)... and they don't give a secondary option of "do you really want to do this" ... but just zzzzzzappppp you out!!! I was bummed...

I guess I coulda pm'd Terry ... but never really thought of that ...

Oh well ... what's past is past ... and in the present !!!! IIIIIIMMMMMM BAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCKKKK -- Ya miss me????

We are so glad that you are back, Sally! We were kinda wondering where you were! Congrats on the big 'ole loss! Hope I get there soon! (I gettin' close!)

Another 3 pounds gone. I knew I was bloated, then another week of easy wonderful food, and WHOOSH! I'm on the scale reading a solid 182! YAY! I think I'm a week or two away from the halfway point!

Tomorrow I going fishing! I am so excited! I have been wanting to go for a long time and just put it off. My husband is dragging me out to fish. I am going to enjoy sitting and relaxing by the river. Now, if only it won't rain.......

I talked to my mother in law and she said that my father in law is doing the low carb and he will be going and getting the Atkins book soon. I told her to make sure he wants to do Atkins and told her the names of the other low carb books. That way, he can find what is best for him. She said he is very determined!

Anyway, have to go. I've got a b-day party for my brother's daughter. Se you all later! Amber

The weather is cold, damp and yuccky here today and having a major case of the munchies... so decided to come upstairs and surf through the site for awhile .... and beat myself up later ... and yet I'm just sitting here contemplating what to have for dinner ... but I made a small batch of french onion soup since it is so totally yucky here today .... so I think that's what I'm having ....

Okay ... everyone have a SUPER WEEKEND ....

Hi Princesspp:

Glad you are back. Your photo is great. We all get off track from time to time. The trick is to get back on asap. When I break off a little, and I do mean a little these days. Maybe have crackers with coffee in the morning. That is the worst for me these days. I used to really go way off. So you see, once you make up your mind to lose weight, you begin a new behavior pattern.
I never thought that would work with me, but I am there.
I feel great.

Keep up the good work.

Guess I'm making up for lost time huh????

Thanks for the extra little pick me up Sandy ... it helped, and yup I'm back on track.... I don't know what hit me yesterday, but whatever it is I think it's gone... I must've drank my water good though, cuz I woke up this morning at 168 ... so with everything that I ate my body still didn't punish me ... I have a problem with anything with 8's at the end ... that's usually my stuck point ... and I've found that if I really very strictly watch what I eat and cut back on the calories (and go hungry) I can get to 166 .. but as soon as I "eat" again be it good or bad .. I end up back at 168!!! So right now my weight is fluctuating between 169 and 166 ... ergo the 168 ... are we confused yet ... I am...

Anyway ... just swinging by to wish all a very happy Mothers day, and have a wonderful rest of the weekend......

Hi Princesspp:

Join a new club; (I ate it all club). I went a bit overboard today celebrating mom's day. Sweet potato/cinnamon butter, 2 scoops of strawberry ice cream, 1 scoop pistachio ice cream in a cup. Is that sick or what.
Could you believe I did that after going to the gym in the a.m. and using the tread mill for half an hour. freeweights, hot tub, steam room. I felt great. Then I blew it

Oh well, tomorrows another day. I do real good when I'm not at outings. I'm glad I won't be seeing this gang for a while.
Their what I call the eating enemies.

As for your being stuck. I find that happens to me too. DON'T GET ON THE SCALE!!!!!. IF you are looking good and feeling good only get on the scale every few weeks, this way you won't know when your on pause : When you do get on a few weeks later, you would have come down some.

I tend to gain 5 pounds in 2 days if I eat salty foods. They don't even have to be very salty. I swell up like a balloon. So I stay away from the scale.

Tomorrow it's back to shakes. I really do feel good when I don't eat heavy.

Take care. Have a great week. Keep up the good work. We're in this for the long haul.

Well, well.....look what the cat dragged in!! Welcome back Princess!!! We surely did miss you! Looks like you're doing so great too!! Congratulations!! And I love the new pic...you're a doll!

AMBER!!! 3 lbs!! YEA!!!!! That must feel GREAT!!?!?? Way to go GIRL!!! How was fishing??

Sandy, Sandy, Sandy.....don't beat yourself up over it....but don't do that to yourself again!!!!! Doesn't it make you feel yucky??!? Maybe you oughta write it down on a little piece of paper all the ways that it affected you and read it next time BEFORE you reach for a bowl of ice cream!! You don't wanna feel yucky, do ya?? Well, that's how we learn, isn't it?? Just chalk it up and move on!

I have an announcement: (drumroll please) I made it through 2-1/2 days in New Orleans without cheating!!! No desserts, no bread, no fried foods at all. I get some kind of big prize, don't I??? Ok, well, the worst thing I did was drink bourbon and diet coke a few times. BUT....hey!!.... No dessert at Commander's Palace??? The waiter looked at me with such pity!! I told him I was diabetic and they were happy to bring out a big plate of strawberries and whipped cream for me

We had a GREAT time....what a crazy town that is!!! After 3 days of gambling, we were only down $100....THAT is how I spell success. WHEW!! And now back to the real world...... YECH!

Ya'll have a wonderful day!!

the dogs had a tug of war with ....

I'm glad I was missed ... I'm really careful about where my mouse lies in my profile activity page now ...

Had a great weekend .. spent the afternoon yesterday with mom and dad ... mom helped me with a few little cleanup crafts that I needed for tomorrows "lobsterfest" .. and then we made angels ... they actually turned out cute, and it bided the time a bit ... and we had a ball !!!! we couldn't stop laughing!!!

Today back on track ...

Just surfing around catching up on my reading ... ...

susane

Hi everyone,

I've been on this forum for over a month and just found this thread, guess I haven't been very observant . Actually, I saw Susane's intro post, responded and then noticed she was in here. So, if your all up to another not so newbie, I would love to join in I really enjoy reading about other people's struggles and victories. There is sooooo much to learn from one another.

CYA soon,
