Default Lo Carb #41 Winter hangs on

Good morning all
Make sure that you see KINa's and Sue's post from #40.

Well I have an air cast on. ANd that has helped the mobility alot.

I ahve to admit that I am having trouble staying focused. Can't seem to find a schedule that fits me. I read an article in the paper about sugar addiction. The author who worked in a alcohol addiction program was seeing simularities w/ her clients and her relationship w/ high sugar sweets. It was debated and she sited a study w/ rats that showed withdrawel and the rats choosing sugar water over food. Very interesting.

I know That I am upset that I am growing out of the clothes I shrunk myself into. It is now Almost Mar 1. Warm weather is supposedly around the corner. And I know that I feel better all the way around when I et lo carn and w/o. I just can't seem to make and stay with teh connection.

ANy one else have some insight?

Hello All.

I am sorry I went MIA for awhile. We had the most awful ice storm here the Sunday before last, and we have not had any electricity since that day. 10 days with no heat, running water, or light. It has sucked big time. But we have muddled through. The ights came back on at 1:00 today. We threw a big party of course. The kids were especailly happy to have their video games returned to them. And Trini missed Barney something awful. I am so glad we are back to normal.

I have been off program since this happened. I haven't even been working out, which bothered me a great deal. But it is hard to do when you have to work so hard just to cook, and clean. I actually washed clothes by hand one day. I would not have made a very good victorian, I am afraid. But it was fun at times. The first night we roasted marshmallows over candles. It is a memory I think Christian will keep with him.

WEll, Just wanted to let you guys know I have returned from the land of the lost. I am ready to get back to it.

Oh my gosh Melody
DH and I were stranded in kentucky Sun. La Barge. The icing was awful. We hobbled thru on Monday. 20 -30 miles an hour. We had an ice storm a few years ago and were w/o power for 13 days. But we have no kids. It's an awful experience. SO I know how wonderful it is when the lights come back on. You were missed, I could here myself echo around here.

Still waffuling here. In diet limbo.
Hey everybody how goes it?

Good Morning!

Melody I am so glad to see your post.

I am feeling something horrible. We have 40 degree temps and any normal Texan is just not use to that. I think I am about to die. I started a baby blanket for my X-SIL . She invited me to her baby shower this coming Saturday and I am hoping to have this blanket done by then.

Well now that I have checked in I am going to jump back into bed and hide under the covers. Stay warm.

Melody...you don't know how happy I am to see your post.
Pat...we really must do something about this growing epidemic. I am having the same problem.

I am outta here. Talk later.

Good to see you Sue. Would you mind sharing what it is you purchased. I have only two 1/2 more weeks to drop some weight for my family weight challenge. I need all the help I can get. Melody I also started taking Hydroxycut. I know you have mentioned Metabolite or something similar. Do you or any of you have insight to these dietary supplements? All wisdom is welcome.

I will check back later.

Sue...I am really sorry you were having computer problems. I don't know what I would do without our computer. I think DH is the one that would go berzerck. Talk later.

it is a product from sunshine nutritional supplements. it is expensive a bit more than i wanted but it is worth a try!!! it has some laxatives and a bunch of other things. but is suposed to clean out the toxins of the systen. I am going to try it for a week (2 week supply) then get on low carb, hoping that it will clean out all the carb toxins that i have built up!!! I have never tried this before i am a bit worried that i sound like a quack about this. like the colonic lavages (nice word for huge enema) but it is suposed to make the body work better after the bad toxins are cleaned out. I will not make any reccomendations untill i try it

I have used hydroxycut, and metabolife and diet fuel and just about every thing that is on the market with and with out mau haung it does help i find that it makes me dead tired at the end of the day. and i sleep very soundly but not necessarily a good sleep. it is an exhausted sleep. but it dies give me great energy in the day but i have high and lows of energy and the days that i did not take it i would fall asleep in the middle fo the day. if i sat down some times i would say i need to sleep and go down for a hour just because my body needed the rest. I am hoping that this will also get this out of the system. I am just comming off some that i was taking starting this year beginning they say that you must take a break from them. it helps i will say most of my weight loss was during time that i was taking somethng. I have very stubborn weight.

well that is that. I do need to get the kids to swimming.

Hey All!
I am in a way glad I am not the only one experiencing this rut. But sorry too. Cannot get focused. I know it is a mental thing.

But yes Sue we can do this.

We can do this. I will focus on what goes in my mouth. Maybe a daily food and w/o log?

What do you all think?
A weekly challenge?
Let me know

Hello everyone else

Anyone heard from PaM?

I just had a great post and lost it!!!! UGH

well any ways it was i had a terrible day dove into doughnuts and cookies big time

Kina drink drink and drink keep out of the cafiene limit the low carb bars and shakes (can stall weight loss) for the next few week do this clean, think of the cash!!! go for only 1200 calories make the fat be quality fat and keep your protein at about 60 - 80 atleast daily. split the carbs over the day. that is about all that i can give for advice!!! that should do it.

no i have not heard from Pam. Hope soon!!

GOsh SUe, I am sorry.
All I can think is that we have come so far, what's the deal? I know I am letting alot of things get in the way of me getting back on tract. They are just excuses really. I remember my nursing days. You are working nights? That was always the worst. Stress, lack of restful sleep, carbs galore. A viscous cycle.

Kina think $$$$$
I hope Pam is OK, she usually check in by now.
Hello everyone else

I am shooting to achieve some goals beginning Monday
We'll see how I do.

I am here! THings have been crazy so I haven't got to stop in as often. Kina think cash...its a great motivator isn't it?

I started a weight loss challenge at my work, every payday we each put in $5 and weigh. Whoever is the first to lose 10% of their total body weight wins the money. It's a great motivator. And now I work with a bunch of people who are watching what they put in their mouths too!

I started my personal 3 month challenge on the 1st, and so far have stuck with my goals. I have managed to keep my calories under 1800 which I think will help me lose weight.

I plan on beginning running in mid to late March. I am going to the Dr. today to see what they can do to help me with my arthritis. It is better, but when i start to run...Oh boy, I just bet it will start acting up. I want to run a 5K in September so I have got to get training if I am going to make it.

I am focused and ready to go, and if I have to I will pull you guys along with me! Let's do this girls!!!
