Hi everyone, just a quick post before the picnic. Hope you all have a great day. I have made it 4 days in a row with my treadmill, yeah!. I found out the food today is being catered from a barbeque place. I'll get mine without any BBQ sauce and stick to meat and salad.
DH has already left to play in the golf tournament. My son had Army Drill so he doesn't get to go with us this yr. He is a golf fanatic.
BB, I hit points where I thought my body was absolutely refusing to go any lower in Wt. But, it all eventually worked out. Just keep doing what you're doing. I specifically remember that at 157 lbs. that I started to just try maintenance because I was literallly stuck. Hang in there.
Robin, I don't envy you right now with all that snow. I always think the snow is beautiful now that I don't have to leave the house unless I want. But, it sure was different when I had to get out in it and go to work.

Hi all!
Lillybelle- congrats to your DH! I've never won anything myself either, I guess I'm just waiting for the big one !
BB - Thanks . I'm about at the same place that you are still. I'm almost to the point where I think I HAVE to buy a new scale! it just MUST be the scale! It's just not moving anymore! Well, sounds good anyway!
Robin - Hope things are warming up for you a bit up there!
Went to the outlets today to do some shopping. I'm pretty happy with just being able to shop in a regular store for both my tops and bottoms! That in itself is a huge accomplishment! I even need to get a new winter coat this year because it is huge on me!! yipee! It's going to be the first year in a long time that I'm not going to feel like an overstuffed polar bear in a winter coat!
I must keep reminding myself of all these good things to keep myself going because I'm so not done yet!
Have a good Sunday everyone!
Maggie

Me and my DD will also shop next week for a winter coat. I haven't bought a new one in quite sometime. Before it seemed that I was always so hot that all I ever needed was a sweater, sweatshirt or light jacket. But, now I'm freezing. I used to freeze the rest of my family by keeping thermostat on 65 degrees. Now, that is way too cold for me.

Hi Ladies:)


Its getting cold up here,I have to start taking my winter clothes out of the basement storage boxes soon. Hope they will fix me as I gained alot before starting Atkins.My summer clothes are getting losser so many theres a chance that they will fix me,as I lost inches more so then weight.

Up this morning but I had a spinach pie,where the crusts were made from muenster cheese{SODIUM} that my problem I a salt freak. The Spinach Pie was delish..........I found it on a low carb recipe board. Doctor told me that when on a low carb diet your body craves salt.So now I have to go to the old watering hole and drink more H2O to get rid of the water retention.Will I ever learn.

Have to get ready for church will post this afternoon

Hugs :) BB

Hi all, it's cold and rainy here. Me and DD are going to go grocery shopping and maybe look for a winter coat. I have made a list of the foods we need, otherwise I always forget stuff. My carbs have been up a little the last few days and I am now trying to cut back a little. I haven't weighed since last Tuesday, but clothes fit fine. I am getting some exercise on Treadmill and this should help some.

I almost forgot, my DH won a $50.00 gift certificate in the company picnic drawing yesterday. We won a $100.00 gift certificate for the couples "twist" dance contest. Yep, I shook the old booty in front of everyone. LOL.

I thought since we were on a roll with winning money, that we might have a chance with our lottery ticket, but only won $3.00 there. Oh well, maybe next time.

Sorry about posting so late. Our internet company turned our computer off,for no reason.We finally got a hold of them,to turn it back on,we paid our bill for Oct.

When our computer was turned back on the first thing we saw that that Hawaii had a major earthquake. YIKES!! Hope we'll be able to cruise there. I can't believe this is happening as it to me 40 years to convence Leo to take me there.

Maggie-Sending good :goodvibes: vibes that you and I won't be stuck at our #'s that long. Wish I could blame the scale but its a new waisthigh physicans scale from health-0-meter. Oh well!! Heres to next week.

Lily-You and you DH are on a roll. Its be nice to know a millionaire. Good Luck:lucky: on your next :cupgold: play.

Have a great evening,until tomorrow

Hugs :) BB

Hi BB, glad you got your computer back on. I was without mine for about 5 days a couple months ago and it drove me nuts.
My SIL has a trip planned to Hawaii for next week during school fall break. She's a teacher. I hope she still gets to go and is safe. I have never been. It seems every time we save for a vacation, we end up spending it on medical bills instead.
I'm not feeling so good today. Having a lot of pain over my right upper abdomen and right side of my back. My whole liver area is covered with rash again. I'll go a couple months feeling great and then, BAM. I have spent most of today curled in a ball on my left side. I have pain pills to take but they make me sick at my stomach, so I try to avoid them. I sure hope this goes away soon, it usually takes about 2 weeks to feel better. I have wanted to walk on Treadmill today but have been in too much pain and figured it would only make it worse.

I went ahead and did 1/2 mile on the treadmill tonite. Didn't notice that it made me feel better or worse.
