Tina,
I know the feeling really well. I am so close to the 200 mark it is scary and hoping to break it this week. Or at least pray I do. The scale has been really good to me this month and I am hoping to make friends with it. <s>

I am off to my daughters for a few days and will really have to watch what I eat down there or I will be right back where I was before Christmas.

Tina: I know exactly how you feel. i have been having so much trouble. The problem is that mine only lasts a day or two but oh the damamge I can do in that length of time. I was on track for 3 weeks, did real good and then was off for about 2 days and undid all my hard work. hang in there, this will work for us if we let it. There is proof that it does all over the boards.

DH started inon me last night about eating carbs. I told him I couldnt explain it all that the book was here if he wanted to read it. He then said that book was a bunch of junk. I didnt want to argue over it so kept quiet. He said I can see that it does work, I just dont know how. At least he finally said somethign else as far as my weight loss. He doesnt complain about the foods I eat, he actually eats more low carb than he thinks, he just doestn know it.

Annie: you better find a way backhome, its almost time to post the new month.

Hi friends, this is a test to see if I can reply.

I miss you all! Sorry I haven't read the posts, just checking to see if this works.

Is anyone up for a February 4# a month challenge..."A Sweetheart of a group--4# February loss" or something? Or did we already start it?

Hugs, Annie-Pie

Annieeeeeeeeeee-Pie,
Sure glad your back with us. We have so missed you lady.
I am so excited this morning and want to share. Sitting here with tears in my eyes but they are tears of joy. I am so close to the 200 mark. Scale says 200.5 this morning and it was still shaking between the 200 and 200.5. It is getting so close now and i has been at least 3 years since I have seen 200 or below. I keep them size 20 chic's folded on my dresser and I try them once a week now and the button is getting closer together.

Anthony comes home today and Chicago is already better then a half hour delayed cause of the weather. So hoping he gets out today from Orlando To MDW, then MDW to LAX. Will be tracking his flight today to see what time it will arrive at LAX. Plus he is flying standby so we know how that can go don't we. <snicker>

Everyone had done so awesome this month. I am sure ready for the next challenge. It makes me push myself a little harder and then I get really proud of myself and my progress. As well as everyone else on in the challenges progress. Keep up the good work ladies we will prevail. We all have a little person in side us screaming to get out and we do hear that voice!!!

ZULEKA!!! I miss you being around Please start a journal so we can keep in touch better...


ANNIE - So Glad you're back!

Nat: I so know how you feel and am so happy for you.

Annie: Glad your puter is fixed or whatever the problem was. We cant start a thread without you.

Terry: Is that the new you? You dont look old enough to have a teenage son.

Has anyone heard of the new low carb drinks Slim Fast has out. I havnet seen them yet but did see them in the sale paper.

WoooHoooo three cheers for Annie being back. Also WooHoo for everyone staying and supporting each other this month. Zuleka, Terry's right about the journal. If I can do it anyone can. Nat that is really great news. Hope everyone sticks around for Februarys challenge. Count me in. I would be so happy to lose 2 pound just to get into the 230's. I've been in the 240's since the end of August. Hugs, Maureen

Terry,
I like your family photos, you all seem close. I'm wondering how to start a journal....can anyone help me out with that?

stacysheil,
I saw the slim fast shakes in walmart and K-mart the other day, they also have bars too. I was going to try them but they weren't on sale and I don't need that kind of snack at this time, so I will have to try them some other day. Would you let us know how they are if you do try them?

Thanks terry!!!
I think I'm going to like this journal thing!

The slim fast shakes are so tempting to me because I lost so much on slim fast before starting this woe (35lbs.) I think I will stay away from them too for awhile unless someone gets on here and tells me they taste just like the other ones. They are costly and my little boy loves them so I have to buy enough for us both if I buy them. I think the new ones said 4 carbs but Im not sure.
