Coffee isn't frowned upon on SB...we can even have 1-2 cups of caffeinated beverages a day (coffee or diet soda). Hooray for that!

I may weigh in today and it may be tomorrow. I have to go pick my paycheck up and then get it cashed, so it just depends on how much time I have left afterwards before I have to be at work at 1:00. I will let you all know tonight if it was a go today or a no go and will be tomorrow. Problem is, lunchtime is really busy at the center where I weigh in and it doesn't open til noon. That's an hour but I need driving time to work and check in as well when I get there.

Everyone have a good Monday.

Sissy, what a positive way to look at it! Yes, congrats to those who have lost or maintained, and cheers to everyone staying on the beach, too! All good things.

Have an excellent day, everyone...

Yeah!!!

I like my weighin better today....so I'm taking it!!

The weekends are always a tough time to not see gain for me.....so seeing the scale down a bit for a Monday is truly a lift for me as I tend to see loss during the week as I'm very busy and active all day every day.

Have a great Monday!!

Starting out at 267 today.

I need more exercise and time to go grocery shopping. I need to get turkey bacon instead of feasting on real bacon the last few day.

Have a great week.

Hello All,
I am currently doing Atkins 72' (have done SB in the past) but just wanted to come in and say (I hope I don't get flammed for this ) but I noticed a huge difference in the SB forum from others and that is the positivity and "happiness" from those doing it.

Seriously I go on other boards and other plans and it seems like so many people are "angry", "defensive" and "unhappy" with their plan and it shows in their posts their response to others regarding their plan, but I always noticed a consistency with those following SB on this board and other boards.

I also noticed that SB followers seem to "stick" with the plan better I don't see the usual frustration and tweaking although I'm sure it exists.

All in all what I am saying is I feel that when you are apart of a message board especially dealing with weight issues when the people you are interacting with are positive, successful and willing to help it can make a HUGE difference in another person's journey to weightloss.

So although I am doing Atkins 72' (not sure for how long) I am still reading my SB book, lurking in the SB section and when I do make the switch I feel good knowing that you postive folks will be here for support.

Congrats to you all on your successful weightloss and I wish you much success on your continuing journey.

Aw, KB, you're so sweet! Come join us when you're ready!!!

When I get up in the morning I think "Blessed is thy oatmeal and thy sweet potato."

Seriously, I love having a larger selection of foods.

The water temperature today off the beach is a balmy 84 degrees. Come on in, the beach is great.
