Hey all - welcome Gail. You can do this! 1-derland is a great motivator in itself

Day 2 M&E for me -

Hope you are all on track.................

hi everyone,
Have had two busy days, went to see my sisterinlaw today, we started this together and keep in touch everyday. We visted a low carb store and was told by the owner that of 2007 it will be difficult to get low carb things in Canada. I am trying to only eat things that are natural and not things commercialy made, that way any where I visit or live I can con't with this way of eating and thus have a longer better life.
I intend to make new receipts and to find things that we can all eat as a family. I am already seeing the diffrence in my young ones, I have cut out lots of snacking, except fruit and vegetables. As well as too many carbs, purchasing low carb breads or making them myself.
I think as a family we all can benfit from this way of life.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Warmest Regards,
Joy

I'm in! I have 13 to lose by Dec.18/05. I'm going to Italy for Christmas to visit family. They haven't seen me in 4 years and last time they were a bit too critical on my weight. SO, this time I'm ready to go there and show 'me' off

Hello Bellina, good luck with your goal - we are here for you! You have a good motivator.

Hello Everyone,
Hope all is well, are we on target for our ten lbs by christmas, I still have not been to the gym.
I am a bit under the weather today, so I am laying low, however I am still eating well.
No major weight gain or loss to report today. Hoping to be better by tomorrow and more active. Keeping to 20 carbs or less.
Well that's my update.
Hope to see you all posting soon.
Warmest Regards,
Joy.

I'm anything but on target. I cheated two days in a row by eating CRAP at buffets. I hope it doesn't cause any imbalances tomorrow at work. I've had crying jags before from eating the wrong foods, because of how it messes up my brain once I've lost tolerance for soy, gluten, casein and vegetable oils.

Thanks sanfar

So far so good today. Cheated a bit yesterday but no major change in weight so that's a good thing

Hey guys, sorry I haven't checked in for a while. Hubby and I went to Vegas for four days and I'd like to report....I STAYED CHEAT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!! That was an amazing feat for me with all those amazing restaurants. Wow, vegas has changed in the past 5 years - fine dining everywhere now!!! I dined on veal, sashimi, and wonderful salads and really enjoyed having omelletes made to order in the mornings!

I'm dying to weigh in tomorrow AM. I hope I am down something.

Down almost a pound!!!! YAY!

I'll join in. My weigh day is Monday, so I'll start then.

We had a thanksgiving luncheon last Thursday at work....everyone brought in something. We had som really yummy looking deserts, but I was so good! I looked and walked away....ok, I felt like running when I saw the banana pudding, but I walked away in a dignified manner. I have to say tho, choices were very limited....I basically had ham and a little bit of veggies....even most of the veggie dishes were loaded with carbs!

I started this during TOM, so I just managed to stay even. Then I did stupid things with sugar alcohol candy and stalled. This will be a good week. Down a little over a pound already, and am working two jobs. I won't be bored, so I won't cheat. I have already set my mind on a good Thanksgiving. I can get through the holidays...

Hi Everyone,
Good work BankerMom on your loss happy to read that you enjoyed Vegas and did so well with your eating.
I am still under the weather, keeping to my eating plan but not very active, so no weight loss to report. I still feel so good that I am not worried, all my clothering are fixing me much better so that is a good sign. Hoping to go outside today for a walk with the children.

Warmest Regards
Joy

I "felt thin" this morning, stepped onto the scale, and was at 287, within two pounds of mini-goal. Of course, nothings official until Friday.

Mini cheated yesterday..again but no gain..is that possible?!!
