Thanks everyone for your "well wishes" they worked cause I’m feeling a lot better
Star, … wow I’m so proud of you for taking aeroboxing…that must be a lot of fun. Is it sort of like a Tae-bo class or actually boxing???
Anita…. congratulations on getting through the argument with your son without eating…that’s pretty cool. I recently found chicken wings that I like and yes…those little wings can be very addictive…(it’s a good thing that your chicken winged out..lol) but, mine are only 1 gram for 4 chicken wings…wow…can’t beat that (well…I’m not really sure how many grams the other versions have). But, at least it’s a safe low carb food. DH can’t believe I eat them…he hates them
Jo-Ann…it’s amazing how a little sugar can trigger us to eat. Good for you for realizing what the honey roasted peanuts were doing to you – and then just going to bed. Think about it…that could have been a whole night of bingeing (for me…anyway). I’m so proud of you for stopping when you did and jumping right back on program. As everyone has already said (I’m a little late here) you’re welcome here…this is about our continued progress…and well hitting the 140’s seems pretty darn good to me!
Michelle….congratulations on passing up the bread, potatoes and carrots that came with your meal on your night out.. I think eating with friends is one of the toughest events that we have (well…that dessert social sounded pretty tough that Star went to). Have you tried making tacos without the shells…sort of like a taco salad…It’s really inexpensive and low in carbs?
Marlaine…I’m with you patiently waiting for lower numbers…the 150’s sound really good. But, I’m just so happy with the progress that we’ve made. I’m especially proud of your workouts and "no cheats" you’ve done an awesome job! This has been an amazing year! And yes, I do agree…success is contagious…isn’t that fun!
WooHoo Betty…wow…congratulations on dumping another pound. You’re posts really make me smile…you help to make this LC lifestyle and support so much fun! Way to go on hitting 316….and…
I’m so proud of you!
Sally…Hi mom (
)…
thanks so much for all your notes and encouragement…you always help me through the tough times! I left you a message in your journal…but…I was soooooo sorry to hear about your girlfriends mother. It’s so sad when we lose our loved ones. I hope that you’re feeling better…but, what a tough weekend to go through. Please know that I love and adore you and my heart is with you
Skyspinner…hey can I add "I’m melting….I’m melting…" to my signature (just kidding…I won’t copy) but that is so cute! I’ve tried some of the LC chocolate recipes and they weren’t that good…but, the chocolate "cool cookies" were a pleasant surprise….even DH liked them.
Joan…I’m so excited about you and Sally coming for LC Peanut Butter cookies and Tea…doesn’t that sound like fun. Seriously, I think we should all meet in the middle of the US sometime this year…that would be so much fun! Oh my your food sounds so good. I hope Bob has a really fun birthday…and will you save me some of those faux potatoes (yum) and Strawberry Margarita cake…wow…I’m in heaven just thinking about it!
Greg…wow…congrats on leaving that plateau and losing another 3 pounds…doesn’t that feel great! I’m so glad that you’re back on track and that you got TrainerDan’s book…how is that?
Wendye…wow it’s so great to see you here.. Congratulations on Day 9 of the "No cheat" thread and the 5 swimming sessions this week…you’ve done an awesome job.
Suzbuff…glad you’re jumping right back on program…weekends are tough…but, it’ll get better. Do you make any low carb treats for yourself? They really help me get through the tough times.
Tanya…Ok ..another tough weekend…but, I’m so glad to see that you’re posting and jumping right back on program…good for you!
Summer…you’re right…this is a life long commitment! It’s really different from just being on a diet.
Keller…I’m with you…I’ll imagine myself "not cheating" till thanksgiving…then, I’ll imagine how much smaller I’ll be by Christmas…and Wow…this really was worth the effort!
Maggie…sorry that CAD isn’t working out for you. I don’t know anything about CAD…but, some of us just can’t handle high glycemic carbs (I’m one of them). So. You’ve learned more about your body and how it handles food. Now, you can tweak your program a little so that you don’t have that response.
Lhelmick…Woo-hoo for you for getting through your in-laws dinner… WTG! 8 days without cheating is awesome
Teridoodle…Oh…I haven’t been over to your journal in a while and it was so nice to see your smiling face here. That was so cute…a "snitchaholic"…I think we can all relate to that. Well…we’re here to support all your non-snitching days. Welcome to the "no cheat" thread…
Wow sorry for the long post…just wanted to say hi to everyone…Hope that tomorrow brings new beginnings for anyone who had a tough weekend...remember it's a new day...forgive yourself and jump back on your program. We CAN do this!
