Woohoo, I'm first! :D

Well, I made it through day 1 of the 3-day with no cheats, and I did 2 workout tapes! Yippee! Two to go!

AP: You swam 2 1/2 hours?!! OMG! Hope it calmed your stress a bit. Like Snoopy, I thought that you sounded better after I read your posts. Sorry you have to wear those braces, but glad to hear you sound better than I expected. Sheesh, you're goin' crazy with the posts on 92! ((((AP)))) http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif

Dixie: I don't blame you for giving away your big clothes, I'm sure you didn't want to see 'em again. But now that the clothes you have are fitting tight, it's that much more incentive to lose those pounds. You can do it, girl! How was day 1 for you?

Shel: And how was your day 1?

Froggie: You had some yummy stuff this weekend! Try not to stress too much about screwing up now & then. You've come this far, and only have 5 to lose by October - no problem! ;)

Schumi: You're right, you do have to stop weighing yourself so often, silly! You'll drive yourself crazy!

Jen: Sounds like you have a great vacation planned! Hope you have a blast! I'm leaving next Friday. Can't wait!

RedSox: WTG on the 7 lbs, that's AWESOME! :D And thanks for the vote of confidence!

Lisa: Hi sweetie, how ya doin'? Yes, we missed you!

Snoopy: Good luck on your new goal! You can do it!!!

Lotus: Hi there! Glad to have you back! Sorry the Zantrex isn't working, but hey - get psyched about your vacation anyway!!

DP: Sorry the picture upset you so much. But keep in mind, you've gotta start somewhere, and .4 is a great place! Together we can do this!

SM: Nice to hear from you again! Hope all is going well with the shop. I'll cross my fingers for your next weigh-in!

Going to bed soon. Have a great night, everyone!

Hi Guys!!! :wave:

Yesterday and today were a little busy for me. The Bday parties went very well. It was carb heaven for me. I am still feeling it too.

AP...I have been thinking about you today but I couldn't to the comp until know. It sounds like today's visit went a little better for you then the ones before. I wasn't aware of the SQCP. You are a very strong person and I know you can conquer those braces. It is going to be hard in the beginning but we are all here to give you the support you need.

Whirl...WTG on the size 12!!!! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/dance.gif You are going to look and feel stunning.
more laughs....my dh asked me how I knew I hit my car and my answer was "I kept trying to go back but the truck wouldn't move anymore." His truck is a deisel and it was too loud to hear or feel the vehicles hit. On top of that I pushed the car back 3-4ft.
Oh...the bday card I bought for our daughter said happy 3rd bday. She turned 2 this past weekend. :round:

Red...WTG on the 7lbs!!!! Keep it up. It is good to hear a story like yours.

Lisa...Hi Lisa (((Hugs)))

Snoopy...LMAO on the house cleaning.

Schumi...Weighing in once a week is better.

Shel...Hi shel!!!!Hope you get to feeling better.

Sinn...I am going to miss you...please visit once in a while and let us know how you're doing. I was thinking that the boards aren't going to help me much either because I can't lose weight at this moment but everyone has been so supportive and I know while I am in a rut at the moment there are a lot of buddies on here that need my support. I would love to see you back here soon. God bless and take care.-Roni http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif

Dixie...the cake was very yummy (both of them) :eek:
That is why I said I was in carb heaven yesterday.
WTG on the 3 day...I know you can do it girl. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/dance.gif

Houdini....Hi :)

JoJo...Hey JoJo!!!!

Hi to Froggie, lotus, SM, DP, Jenn, and anyone I may have forgotten. Take care and I'll see you all tomorrow.-Roni

So when you get to your appt. tomorrow with Mr. No SOH you can just tell him that that I said to CHILL OUT - and that he's probably a miserable person already besides not having a SOH! Oh, AP...be sure to take this with you when you go http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/hammer.gif Glad that you get to see Dr. Steve :p http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bang.gif Sweeter than Pure Sugar Cane...that is Dr. Steve right?

I hope you are doing ok with your braces today. You are a VERY STRONG WOMAN! I woke up thinking about you this morning and wondering how you did over night. I hope that you weren't too stressed out so that you couldn't sleep! (((((AP)))))

Roni- LOL still about the car...you knocked it 3 / 4 feet! OMG woman! No wonder your husband asked you how did you know you hit the car. Sorry, but I am LOL!
Don't worry about your diet right now...just hang with us.....coming to read all of the posts everyday always gives me stress relief...so just keep on posting with us! CARB HEAVEN HUH! I want some cake...send me some of both!

Houdini: You leave next Friday...I leave next Wednesday! Yahooooooo!!! I'm getting nervous about eating though. Speaking of CARB HEAVEN (Roni LOL) there will be lots of pastries, pasta, breads, wine nad LOTS and CARB laden food - Italy...and yes, I'll enjoy every mouthfull! I'm taking carb cutters with me though! I've got too :eek:

Jen: Vacation bound too! What is this board going to do without us? LOL

Shel: Vacation coming up too! What will they DO WITHOUT US!?!?!?! LOL

Schumi - STAY OFF THOSE SCALES! LOL!!! :round:

Froggi - hope you are doing good today

Dixie: Just hang with this board. We will help you through it!

SM - try to rest and take it easy. You sound very busy. I know how busy your shop is! It doesn't take long to build your business! I'm wishing you lots of luck! Its hard work but worth it in the end!

Good Morning, Snoopy, Shel, Lotus, Lisa, RedSx,

But, i was SO happy to see what a beautiful wedding we can have (on a budget, so i really thought we'd be stuck witha crappy place!)... But...this place (that unless we're blown away by another, will be it),...is so beautiful. its all cream and white, so clean and beautiful. My goal for this wedding is ROMANCE. and it is..soooo romantic! its on a golf course, with beautiful views. Its a 'one affair at a time' place. love that! the cocktail hour will be upstairs, and the reception, down. I wish i could post the website here. :( We'll have to have it on a friday night (b/c of price), but i love that idea. everyone's ready to party ! :)

Thanks for listening, its so exciting to share!

PLUS...it is weight loss related, b/c its almost time to look at dresses, and im NOT doing that till i lose :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DPRINCESS: I LOVE WEDDINGS. I JUST HAD TO TELL YOU. I PLANNED, DIRECTED AND COORDINATED and MADE SOME OF THE FOOD FOR 2 FRIENDS WEDDINGS.....ONE AT CHURCH AND ONE IN HER YARD! THEN I DID MY OWN! I DO A VERY GOOD JOB I MIGHT ADD. ITS SORT OF LIKE A HOBBY. I LOVE COOKING, ETC. AND DECORATING.

MY WEDDING WAS IN MY BACKYARD. WE LIVE ON THE RIVER. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND ROMANTIC. I HAD THOSE BAMBOO TORCHES...WHICH I PAINTED WHITE ...MY COLORS WERE LILAC AND PEACH - VERY PASTEL SINCE IT WAS IN APRIL. I MADE THE BOWS MYSELF TO TIE ON THE TORCHES AND MAILBOX, ETC. ALSO HAD THE STAIRS IN THE BACK AND FRONT OF THE HOUSE LIGHTED WITH CANDLES IN GLASS SQUARE BOXES. THE TORCHES LINED THE WAY TO THE BACKYARD! I HAD A WHITE TENT WITH THE POLES - POLES WERE WRAPPED WITH FRESH IVEY AND LILAC AND PEACH BOWS. IT WAS REALLY PRETTY...

OK...ENOUGH ABOUT THIS.....CAN YOU TELL I LOVE GETTING READY AND PREPARING FOR WEDDINGS!

I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO HEAR ALL OF THE DETAILS!

I THINK YOU'LL DO FINE WITH YOUR WEIGHT. PLEASE TRY NOT TO STRESS ABOUT IT! SOMETIMES THAT STRESS MAY HINDER WEIGHT LOSS! TRY TO EXERCISE AND DON'T OBSESS WITH THIS WEIGHT LOSS THING. I THINK THAT IS WHY SO MANY PEOPLE DON'T LOSE! THEY STRESS OVER EVERY SINGLE BITE! JUST THINK.....WEDDING DRESS http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/love2.gif

That picture thing just sucks (don't usually use those words) but I know exactly how you feel. We had family in May (the graducation picnic) and took pictures...OMG...I looked AWFUL! Sometimes reality BITES hard. I guess pictures don't lie...but MIRRORS DO!!! Damn mirrors! I swear they lie in the dressing rooms at dept. stores! I get home and OMG..wonder why in the world I bought that...it looks like crap on me!

Sounds like your plans are up and running! I also think that once you start getting focused on getting the details in order that you will probably lose weight effortlessly b/c you are worrying about something else . . like WEDDING BELLS! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/love2.gif

Fall weddings are so pretty and October 2004 sounds like the perfect time to me! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/love1.gif

Good morning all. Just thought I'd check in before I make myself some breakfast. I really can't decide what to have so this id giving me some time to think!!! Think, Think, think!!!!LOL

Ap: Hope you are feeling better today Hon!

Whirl: I'm totally with you when you say that this board is a big stress reliever. Whether I'm losing weight or not; I still can't keep myself from wandering here. It's like a mini-vacation from my hectic world! I love you guys and the support that I get here is beyond compare!!!! We have such a great repoire (sp) that goes way beyond weightloss!!!

Dixie: Hope you slept better last night! I've been having the same problem--I just cant fall asleep most nights until midnight or so. I just hate laying in bed for hours wide awake. Mu hubby gets up for work at 10:30 p.m. and I try to go to bed around 9:30 or so just so we have a little time together. But then when he gets up; I can't go back to sleep! Or I will fall asleep right away and wake up at like 2 a.m. & watch tv for about an hour before heading back to bed!!! I wish I could just sleep through the night like a normal person!!!!

Okay--funny tory time. Kinda embarrassing for me but.... Last evening the kids where playing downstairs for hours--quietly. (imagine that!) Hubby was going to take a nap before work and I always have to tuck him in and give him a back rub before he can go to sleep. I know; he's very spoiled! Anyway, he decides to get "a little frisky" (with his odd hours--it could happen anytime!) So, I ALWAYS lock our bedroom door(in the daytime); never know when one of the kids will come barging in. Next thing I know--they are pounding on the door; yelling that we have company! So, I get dressed, take a quick look in the mirror (my hair looked like Medusa's) and hurry downstairs. There sits 6 members of my hubby's family!!! LOL It was so hard for me to compose myself!!!! I felt like a little kid being "caught" for doing something naughty!!! Afterall, when else do my relatives come to visit at 8 p.m. at night!!!! Next time---I'll send the hubby to entertain!!!!! They ended up staying for about an hour. I went to bed around 9 and hubby was sleeping like a baby. Then, when the alarm went off----let's just say he was ready to pick up where we got interrupted!!! Poor guy--that was a long time to wait!! How do they do that??????? Thinking, thinking, thinking!!!LOL Just thought maybe someone would get a laugh out of my little experience!!!!

Well, I must go find something to eat! I'll definately be back later. Have a great day everyone!!!

Good morning, everyone! Day 2 of the 3-day diet for me. I wasn't going to get on the scale until the end of 3 days, but heard it calling to me this morning. Well, it says 3 lbs less than Monday! :eek: Geez, it's gotta be water weight, doesn't it? I don't care, it still put me in a good mood! :D

Dixie: Glad to hear you made it thru day 1! And 2.5 lbs - sounds like we're doing well! Sorry you're not sleeping well. I went thru that last week.

Snoopy: If you try the starch blockers, be sure to let us know if you think they're helping. LOL on not having to clean up the house! :D

Roni: Carb heaven sounds like a wonderful place!

Whirl: How long will you be in Italy? Better take some carb blockers with you! ;) Live it up, and have an awesome time! Wow, you're goin' crazy with the posts!

Jen: ROFLMAO! Cute story! I can relate on the sleep issue. My hubby gets home from work at 1:00 AM & comes to bed around 2:00. I always wake up, no matter how quiet he is, and it takes awhile to get back to sleep... ususally happens right before the alarm goes off at 4:45. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

DP: The threads are flyin' aren't they?!!

08-12-2003, 09:55 AM
Good Morning Everyone !!

DP, I know exactly what you mean. Your story sounds just like many of mine. Your Fiance sounds very sweet. You are lucky to have him. My hubby always says the same things, but I always feel he is lying just cuz he loves me :) Us women have some serious self-esteem issues huh?

Jennielynn: Very amusing story!! I love to hear little tidbits like that from everyone's life. Gave me a good chuckle this morning.

Dixie and Houdini, Congrats to both of you on the weightloss. I'm still not weighing in til Thursday. Although right now I am very curious since you both did so well with day one!! But I'll wait. :) If I didn't have the same weightloss I'd be very disappointed and would probably cheat.

Whirl, funny about your problems with the posts....you never know with this site :)

Good Morning AP, hope you have a wonderful day and I hope you are a little more stress free :)

Snoopy, your still sticking with the low carbing huh? Does make you feel better. Glad you are doing ok. It's obvious to me there is no way I can make my goal in less than 5 weeks either :( but oh well. I'll still have fun.

btw girls, I did read up on that Yeast section in the Atkins book. I basically found all that on the internet. I knew I should stay away from cheese, mushrooms, sugars, etc. But the vinegar really surprised me, especially since the nurse practitioner told me to douche with vinegar/water mix the week before my period (when I'm more apt to get the inf). I know I could never go to a strict atkins diet. It's just no fun for me. I think I am feeling better today, both with the inf and I my stomach definitely feels better :)

Hello and good morning to everyone I missed :) Hope you all have a great day!

Well that's a new one, said I exceeded the maximum postings for images, the maximum is 8. So I have to delete some smilies, lol.

Hi all! I'm in the middle of making a Boston Creme Pie (for the family, of course) so I thought I'd come here while waiting. The only thing about making it from scratch is that it takes a while!

Well, I found something for breakfast this morning. I wanted scrambled eggs with cheese but I was tired of adding ham or bacon. So I threw in some leftover roast beef from Sunday! Boy, was that ever good. Not the traditional breakfast, but oh well!!!

Houdini: way to go on the 3 pound loss!! That's great; I knew you could do it!

Dix: same for you friend! 2.5 pounds gone is fantastic! I'm proud of you guys for hanging in there--now it's time to reap your reward!!!!!

Where is everyone today? Am I the only one without a life--LOL? I'm planning on catching some rays this afternoon and then I'll hit the treadmill around 3. (Prime Dr. Phil time)Tomorrow he is having a show about women who lost a large amount of weight and it only caused them more problems. That show may be interesting! Who knows----if I was trying to GAIN weight; I'd probably have trouble doing that!!!LOL
I have a hairdresser appt at 4:30 today so dinner will be later than usual. I also have to swing by the store on the way home---I'm fresh out of salad mix!!! I don't want to get too many groceries since we are leaving Mon for vacation. I'll just go on Sat and get some goodies to take along.

Which leads me to my next problem. The hotel that we are staying in for the first two nights offers a continental breakfast. In other words---lots of carb loaded, sugar-filled junk! Since I'm doing Atkins; i want to stay away from that stuff. Now, I already decided that I don't need to be a saint while on vacation(what's the fun in that?) but I do want to be reasonable. I thought maybe I'd just get some Low-carb meal replacement bars to take along. Anyone have any recommendations? I could always take a shake along; but I'm used to having solid food for breakfast now. Our second hotel offers a full hot breakfast so I shouldn't have a problem there!

Okay, well I should go finish putting my cake together. I'll check back later tonite! See ya!!!

Shel: And how was your day 1?

Froggie: You had some yummy stuff this weekend! Try not to stress too much about screwing up now & then. You've come this far, and only have 5 to lose by October - no problem! ;)

Schumi: You're right, you do have to stop weighing yourself so often, silly! You'll drive yourself crazy!

For the last few weeks I havn't been sleeping too good. One day I was up till 3:00 in the morning. I just couldn't sleep for nothing. It's getting better but still hard to fall asleep.
