hahaha!! I hate that. hahaha Company that doesn't know when it's time to go home!
Happy New Year!

ya, my husband brought home low carb snacks.. Pork rinds and cream cheese. Poor dear. He was so proud because the pork rinds said 0 carbs. I started eating them, then realized they tasted sweet. So I read the ingrediants and one of the first ingrediants was sugar!!!! wooops!!! LIARS!!! Not nice! Jer got hurt feelings so I had to keep eating them with him. He tried. We had an awesome New Year. My kids actually all went down to bed at a NORMAL time!!! (which is so unusual for them!) We got to take a bubble bath, then go to bed. SO awesome! Such a rare thing.

YOu've gotta check out this website. lestoil.net THis site was just introduced to me. I think every woman should see it. This artist paints plus size women. Wow! I want to be a toil girl!!!!! Check it out!

Yea! I'm here in boot camp too! I will not cheat. I will work with my tiny weights. I will use my treadmill 5 to 7 days a week. We can do it!

Uggamugga4 -

I'll check out that site.. That is really naughty of the pork rind people to state 0 carbs... are they allowed to do that? Or is it if it's under 1g they can? Over here you have to watch the trace, or 0's but the Nil's are Nil's if that makes sense!

Sonnet - Good to have you on board!! We need someone to kick us into exercise!! I haven't gotten that far yet, waiting for headaches to pass then I'll have a re-jig!

Have had a great start to 2005 - Quiet lazy morning actually got to read for a while (James Herbert - Nobody True - from the library). Then friends came over late afternoon for dinner and we had a great time (they went off to the cinema afterwards), had a great roast chicken meal, and didn't feel daft with my large amount of chicken with some sprouts. hehe no gravy.. no stuffing, no tatties.. was a good girl! Even passed on pudding and drank water! Wow!

Now off for a cuddle and some tv with hubbie.. night night!

YAY! I know I lost more weight, even though it isn't showing up on the scale yet. I have these pair of jeans, that were my Christmas goal jeans. 2 weeks ago they were about 3 inches from even fastening, and today they fit great!!!! I am so excited!

Jane- YOU GOOD GIRL!!!! I'm so proud of you for skipping. I would have been so disappointed if you did. I have such a hard time passing up all of the things you did. My kids favorite dinner is roast chicken dinner, like you are talking about. mmmmm

I don't know why it's ok for them to list things that say 0 carbs when sugar is one of the first ingrediants. So naughty! Either way, I'm not going to let that get me down. That wasn't my fault, so I didn't exactly cheat, right? As for my eating today, I've totally been OP. I feel so awesome, especially with the jean's thing.. Feelin like a hottie already.

Speaking of hotties, check out that site and tell me what you think? After my hubby and I looked at it, I've been feelin like a hottie. lol Makes you remember that you can be gorgeous at any size! But being healthy is best, and that varies from person to person.

woops, Sonnet- YAY!!! OK BOOTCAMP! GO TEAM!

popped on before bed.. and congrat's for getting your smaller jeans on !! Always a bonus.. feeling smaller!

I must admit what spurred me back on, was folding my friends jeans - she was poorly and I was helping her before xmas. She's a size 14 (uk) and they seemed so SMALL!! compared to my size 20's or 22's... I can't wait to be a 14 again one day!

On that site.. which artist did you choose? I've looked at the Les Toil section. great site!!

night night

Jane, I know! I can't wait to be a size 14 again either! I know. That's almost goal! 14's are super hottie girls! As for the Les toil site, I clicked on all of it, but it was the Les Toil one that I was interested in. Cool! Inspires me to paint again! My husband wants me to do a self portait "les toil style", where I paint myself for him as a super hero. (hehehe) And for me to do one for him too. That would be so fun! I know I could do that no prob. That will probably be my ultimate goal reward. To do a self portrait for him, all curves included.

Ugga, I am the same way. Years ago when I lost 150 lbs thats exactly how I did it. No breakfast (nerver was a breakfast person) ate teeny lunch and a decent dinner...was happy and lost alot of weight.

Well.......when I tell people that, I only get negative feed back..ohh thats so bad, this and that...then I started feeling guilty, really guilty and started eating breakfast. Now I eat breakfast and wanna eat all day long. No its a habbit more than anything. So my goal in 2005 is to stop eating breakfast and do what makes me and my body happy. People are just different, why can't people just keep their P's & Q's to themselves LOL

Just give me my coffee in the morning and I'm a happy Gurl !!

Good luck w/induction everyone, I am sooooooooo rootin for y'all

Each to their own I'd say... I think there will always be people sticking by the book and those that find it better to 'modify' slightly That's human nature in all things IMO

Although being accountable in threads such as this helps me!!

jane- totally, the accountability is a must.

Leenie, I know! This way is OBVIOUSLY working for us.

I am a warm liquid drinker. lol That is just like food for me sometimes. Ya, I think we've been on the earth long enough to know what works for us. Everyone is different.

uggamugga4.. what does your name mean?? just wondering!!

I am so glad to hear that about breakfast! I never ate it either and have been forcing myself. I do find I am hungry all day after...

1st week on induction..........3lbs. Was hoping for more. Gonna have alot join us tomorrow for boot camp it seems. Hate to see them pass me up, lol.

Had to work through New Years so first time back here. Hope no one overdid it. I sure didn't. Are you guys using the KetoStrips?

Congrat's on your weight loss!! That's fab!!
Any loss is a loss.. don't fret too much about wanting for more. I'm sure if you've measured you'll be able to see inch loses.

Hope your new year was 'ok' given you having to work. ours was quiet but nice... stayed home with the kids, my hubbies brother and sister in law came over though.

Shall we keep track of how much everyone loses?? like on the other thread for valentines?
