Just a quickie.. as it's breakfast time in our house

Lost another 2lb!! in 2 days.. woohoo!!

Jen, thanks for your kind comments, it is sad in any line of work where you only hear the bad side.
I am worried about our foster placement returning, but thankfully I don't think it's a physically harming environment. Social services will be watching now, so I really hope if things deteriorate (spell check) again then it'll be more clear cut next time. It's a shame there has to be a next time.

Blissful.. my ticker, is homemade (and I made carries as we're weight loss buddies)
If you have an image I don't mind 'knocking' one up for you. PM me..

I am in to loose 10lbs min by Valentine's Day

Purple Hugs, You go girl

Half way to my Valentine's Day goal of 185.

Head cold is really jamming the exercise and DH is pampering me with ice cream, but I am going to be strong this weekend.

Good going girls!!

I'm sheding water this mornign... but am trying to drink more because of it.. it's coming out of my eyes as I pack up our foster placements clothes etc. We have to take her home in about 20 mins.

Hi all, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's been very busy and have found it hard to get on and post. I've read several times trying to keep up on everyone.

I went out to lunch yesterday and gained two pounds back from my 7, but think I can get that off today. I really tried to follow the plan, but I had dressing on my salad. Then instead of buying an entire quart of ice cream, I had one soft serve in a cone. I know, not OP, but I'm happy I used portion control.

Purple Hugs, Sorry you're having a rough time today. I pray it all works out alright for you and your foster child.

Everyone keep up the good work with the challenge.

Thanks Sonnet, we had a pretty rough morning but managed to turn things around by keeping busy in the afternoon with family and pets.
I think it's one of those testing times in fostering but we'll cope.

Well weight wise, have stuck to plan, and now am down another lb. ONLY 3lb till my valentines target!! Can't wait!

Good Sunday morning all! I'm updating for myself. It's been tough, but I'll be buying the airline tickets home soon, and I won't even go searching for them until I'm near my V-day goal weight!

Who else has crazy PMS and please tell me the positive ways that you deal with it instead of eating you way thru the fridge and cupboards!!!!! I just hate the cravings!!! I am glad to be here and am happy to have found such an active website!!! What plan is everyone on, ?
I have tried WW about 10 times and never stick wilth it for more that 3 months, all the weighing gets to me eventually!!!
And that is not good, but I do not want to be in the same place next year as I am in this year!!! I am getting tired of listening to my own excuses!!!

WOO HOO!

Hi everyone, I am definately in for the Valentine's challenge. I just started atkins on saturday 1/15/05 and my start weight was 235. I have not weighed myself since then so I'm not sure if I have lost anything yet or not. But since I just started I expect to lose a bit more the first week so I will say that I would like to have lost 15 pounds by valentines day. I'm starting my free membership at Bally Fitness today too yay! Oh yah if anyone is interested if you go to discovery.com/health and join the national body challenge you get an 8 week free membership to Bally Fitness. Thank goodness for that or I would never join a gym lol. Good luck to everyone!
p.s. How do I get that valentines challenge ticker?

edit: nevermind I think I figured out the valentines ticker thing

Hi everyone! My stats are the same. I'm sorry but I've been so busy working. I've been painting up a storm. Can you believe people are actually paying me for this?!!?!? OMG!! Come check out my new site. THere's a little bit of my art work there. I've started a business that I paint portraits of people according to what they want. Very fun. With that business I am offering a service that people send me pics of their kids, and I make them into cartoon's, in the setting that they'd like to see their children in! I have a client that I am doing a whole room for her little girl! CAN"T believe this is happening!!! I could be a "Carrie Woomer" someday! LOL!!!! I'm stoked. Check it out. www.carriewoomergallery.tk/
