Hi and Tx jerseyg!:) I spent quite a bit of time last night here in the Recipe section and planned out some Inductioney-treats for Our Table tomorrow. (gravy/side/dessert-ish) Hope to check out Linda's LC in the coming week--need to be prepared in this Carb Loaded World!;) I noticed you & I start at the same weight and you are at your goal . . . Congrats and tx for sticking around!

Hang in there robin . . . I've had tons of dental work over the years and know the misery well.

I had a lot of nausea yesterday so finally cancelled my dental appt. for today and rescheduled it for next week. I have been exercising regularly. I have two different Thanksgiving meals with family to go to tomorrow. Crossing my fingers to survive with few treats. I don't have a problem with the stuffing or potatoes , I can refuse those. I made LC fudge last night that I'm taking to the dinners and sending to work with my DH. I sampled it and it is good.

Me and DD started wrapping Christmas presents, we have a LONG way to go on these.

I splurged today and bought me a body shaper, and it holds my tummy in very flat. I like it. I also bought me a bunch of make-up and some new shoes to go with my new black dress to wear tomorrow. I'm all set.
I weighed today and am still 143. This much is good to know.

Hi everyone!

I am off from work on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday now and my internet is down at home so for now I am limited. I had a great weekend; I stuck to goal of less then 20 carbs a day. It seems like I am running out of variety but I’m loosing weight, so I will suffer for now. Tomorrow will be very tempting; I have planned to eat only turkey, green beans and green salad. I’ll see how it goes!

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone gets to enjoy time with family.

I won’t be at work tomorrow so I will let everyone know how I did on Friday.

Going to take pictures Lily?! ;)

Low carb fudge? How in the world do you do that?

I got my "half a couch" today. I ordered it from a place on the net called "Home Reserve". It is like a kit for making your own couch. It looks really nice and is comfortable. It is only "half" because I'm ordering a sectional and I only purchased the first part of it so far. Can't wait to get the other pieces now. What I really like about this idea is that if I get sick of the color or something I can order different fabric to replace what it has on it, and it will still look good. Check it out this is the one I ordered.

Oh bummer. Looks like my link was removed.

The color I ordered is the Chicago Shiraz. Anyway I was really excited to get it. Makes me want to go online and order the rest of it, but I have to wait until we get a little more money first. That is the other neat thing about it, I can order a piece at a time and not have to finance anything. Just pay for it as I go.

Hi yall, been out of the loop for awhile - so very sick. Got a nasty sinus infection, lost more wt not thanks to low carb but thanks to post nasal drip - didn't even want to eat!!! I see some new faces - you've made some great choices - the diet works for many and the support here is awesome.
With Thanksgiving coming today, and my appetite just coming back I'm fearful. I don't know how reserved I can be. I will do my darndest. Only one dinner to go to, but going to work tonight after - oh geez. And my coworkers are diet sabeutors (sp?). Oh, c'mon one bite won't hurt kind of folks. I dread that. I can resist that pretty good though - I see it as guerrila war tactics and fight back. That's harder to do when faced with sweet little grannys homemade chocolate pie!
Best luck and strength to all today - it's willpower test day.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I bought some jeans in 2 sizes bigger than I've been wearing...and they're TIGHT. Then again, I bought them at Goodwill so I'm figuring they got shrunk. I know I've been eating junk, but I shouldn't have bloated TWO sizes up. I'm not worried about it. Because I know I'll get back on track. Just trying to decide if I can start Saturday or if I should just start on Monday. Friday is youngest DD's birthday so that's out. But might be able to start Saturday. Time will tell. And I have to give up soda again. ARGH! I'm not looking forward to the headaches...but am looking forward to not being so bloated. Time to dig out the Atkins book to rejuvenate why I started this WOE to begin with (besides weight loss)!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am so thankful to this site. I walked double last night and will do the same tonite and tomorrow. Waiting on the rest of my family to get ready to head to my sisters and then my MIL's for dinner. I plan to eat as LC as possible. I weighed this AM to see where I am today. Scale says 141 so I don't want to mess this up. I am very glad that DH and DS are off work today.

Brenda, I've been there. Think of how good you will feel after 3 days on induction. The fat starting to melt away. You CAN do this. If you really really want to lose the weight.

Today we are going to my mother in laws house. I know she will have high carb food and nothing but. So I'm planning my attack in advance. I'm bringing green beans, green salad and for desert strawberries with cream and no sugar Torani syrup on them. I'm also bringing strawberries with sugar and cream, so for me, I will feel fine. I will be able to eat all the turkey I want and all the green beans and strawberries and salad I want. Plus diet A and W root beer. I so want to KEEP my ketosis I've worked for for 3 days. It may slip a little with the strawberries, but I don't want it gone the way of having to wait another 3 days for it.

I think I can handle today, I think I can I think I can.

:thanks1: everyone. I am home sick along with the rest of my family. The flu is kicking my tail. I have been sick for 3 days and off program too. OJ and tea with lemon/honey. I hope to be better by Monday and get back on program.

Gosh its good to get THAT over with - LOL!:D Had a great day with Family and for whatever reason (Tx Sherry A-would not have EVEN attempted Induction w/o ya!:hug: ) wasn't even that tempted by the Feast! I DID overeat a bit . . . but all on LC goodies. The Macafoni was satisfying - the LC gravy was tasty if a bit thin and the dessert I ended up making---SF Pudding made with cream/creamcheese and a 1/2 cup pumpkin was a real treat!

More Family - Holiday again tomorrow . . . determined to get more water in and also to work out. We're headed for a Hotel that has a Pool and Fitness Center at a 1/2 way point for out of towner Family Members . . . trying to plan ahead so I don't cave.:devil:

Hope everyone had a blessed day.:)
