I was actually down 2 lbs overnight. Now I don't think I was that *good* that I lost 2 lbs.... I think my weight's just zigzagging a bit over the 'bad holiday behaviour' and being back 'almost' on track again. I'm still up 4 or 5 lbs. from my pre-holiday low - and I know exactly what you're talking about Annie - I can see the extra weight *everywhere* on me. Plus I had stopped doing the gym thing, so I see more flab as I'm sure I've lost some muscle tone

Oh well - I expect to lose those lbs. over the next few weeks. It's the ones after that I'm crossing my fingers over!

I did well with my eating, and made it back to the gym today. The gym is a bit of a challenge. I'm in the middle of that really cold snap, and it's providing a tempting excuse not to venture out to the gym. Normally I pull on my shorts and head over on my lunch break, but I'm not going outside in shorts (or even my work skirts) in this cold! (today I went after work on the way home).

I know exactly how you guys feel, seems like I am up and down 10lbs. every month. Of course it is my own fault but still I do it. I have said it so many times before that this woe spoils you because you know if you cheat and gain a few lbs. then all you have to do is get back on track and it will be gone in a few days. At least thats what my brain keeps telling me, "go ahead eat that homemade candy, you can get back on track tomorrow" I should not let myself think this but I do and it sabatoges me. I was 170 just about 2 months ago and just kept creeping up a pound at a time.

Dont give up because we all know that this woe works if we just stick to it. Just take it one day at a time and dont be like me, if you mess up just keep messing up because you already did. Immediately get back in control, not the next day but right then. Boy do I wish I could listen to my own advice.

I made it through yesterday, my first day of getting serious. I got my walk in, it wasnt much but it was a start. I stuck to 3 meals and didnt have the peanut butter snack. There are so many arguments about eating p/b. It didnt hurt me before but I know if I want to get back down to 170 then I have to cut it out for awhile. Today is another day and I wish myself luck.

There is a Klondike bar in my freezer that keeps yelling at me, could someone tell it to shut up and leave me alone, lol.

Well..my weight hasnt changed in 2 weeks....BUT, that is better than gaining and I havent been very good. I was very good yesterday and even got in my whole workout for the second time in 2 months...I have lost 10 pounds over the past 2 months but I think it might have been all muscle! yikes! I had a pretty flatish looking belly believe it or now and could wear clingy shirts well but I swear 2 days of missing my AB workout and the muscles go to H* ya know?! lol anyway, I am getting back on track witrh my workouts no matter what!

There is a Klondike bar in my freezer that keeps yelling at me, could someone tell it to shut up and leave me alone, lol.

Step away from the Klondike!!! Your best bet is to throw it away.


I was very bad in Dec. The fact is, I was feeling bad when I eat foods I wasn't suppose to. My tummy was always upset, cause of all the junk I would eat. Yesterday was my first day back on LCing.( I have co-workers right now, telling me to have desert someone brought in to the office. ) I gave myself permission to cheat in Dec, but right now play time is over.

I wish the best of luck to all you ladies!!! We can do it!!!!

Hi, I didn't realize we were to copy and paste each week........so here is my late edition reflecting a 2# loss.

The Klondike is still there, 6 of them. I cant throw them away, my DS and DH would kill me.

Terry, I get up at 4:30 to get DH off to school and DD doestn get up til 6:00 so I just stay up until they both leave then go back to bed. Did you change anything for your scalse to finally start moving?

The temp here Sunday was 72 now we have the ground covered in snow. Its no wonder everyone is so sick around here. DD is still at school, so far they havent called it off.

Have a nice day everyone.

Stacysheil,
l posted the venison recipes for you in my journal. They are traditional recipes that I switched a bit to make lc. Instead of soyyou could use lc bake mix(I'm just to cheap!)

I have had a great day lc wise since sunday! Yippee!
Congrats to all of you who have lost!!!!!! I hope to join your ranks next monday!
I did get 5 min. on the bike yesterday. Thats all my back could take but it's a start.
Someone had mentioned the "walk away the pounds" tapes. I think I may buy them once we recover from dh not working for several weeks.

Hey would you all like to focus more on exercise then the numbers? One of my goals is to start a journal here so I can be accountable to myself. Some of you know that I had breast cancer in Aug. All better and cancer free praise God. But the doctors are recommending I go on Tamoxafin as a prevention of further breast cancer for 5 years. The problem is it can cause possible weight gain and blood clots. Not so worried about the weight gain since someone at church is on this medication and has lost 50 lbs. on Atkins. The doctor is concerned with my inactivity. He wants me to walk 40 minutes 4 X's a week to prevent the clots which can lead to stroke. I really want to go on the medicine since I want to be around for my 2 precious gifts (dd & ds). Can you all help me. I am so unmotivated. I don't know what to do. I generally don't like to ask for help but I think this is what I need to do. Sorry if this is inappropriate to post here. Blessings to all, Maureen

May I join your group and your 2004 challenge? I am still in Induction and having a tough time on my own! Induction 4 weeks plus and still bouncing around a pound or two one way or the other! No real WHOOSH! yet...still hanging in though. What do I need to do to join you? Thanks! Kat

Kat, first you have to fill out this extensive application that Annie will be sending you, then it goes before a committee for approval or denial, then you will be notified in person as long as you have a tray of low carb snack prepared and individually wrapped for all of us. Only kidding.

You're in and welcome to this wonderful group. Hope we can be of some encouragement to you. Blessings, Maureen

Maureen, I have just started back on my treadmill and it was so hard to do yesterday. I did not want to get on it but I just kept telling myself that I had to, no matter how far I walked I was going to get on it and do something. I know that if I dont keep with it, I will go right back to my b/p meds and I dont want that.

As far as the weight gain with the meds, I dont know about that. But, I do know that my doctor said I am the only one she knows that has lost weight on Depo. She is telling all her patients about me because she say they all tell her they cant lose because of the Depo.

I dont know if you have a treadmill or not but if you do just clean it off (I had to mine) and get on it even if it is a few minutes a day at first.

Keep coming back her for motivation and we will try to help.

Kat just find the latest posts with the weigh ins and copy and paste yours.

Welcome to our nice little family who just keeps growing and growing and growing.

The more the merrier.

Maureen
I'll be glad to cheer you on!!!!!!!! Do you have your journal started?

Kat,
Welcome! This is such a fun group! You'll love it!

OK, let me say that I am VERY NEW to computers and don't have the foggiest idea how to cut and paste ! My current weight is 169...maybe someone can put me on the list What is out actual challenge? And thanks for the welcomes! That sure was an easy application! Kat
