Hello my buster buddies!

My blood sugar is WAY too low, so I feel crummy. I already had glucose tablets, apple juice and some sourdough pretzels, but it is taking its time about coming up. No Easter candy here..too bad! It might have been a fun way to bring the old bg up!

Dinner was salmon, and broccoli, and some leftover charoset. (chopped apples cinnamon and walnuts)

I can hardly think straight when my bg is this low, so I think I will just bid you all good night and sweet dreams. Its time to crawl into the bed and get warm!

Night!

BOB: Ham, asparagus and I don't know what else...

Good Morning and a Happy Easter Sunday to you all

BOB - Thanks for sending me the link for the pics. I got it to work so now I have something to play around with. Hope your interview with the manager goes well and you soon get a job.

Sorry I have no time for replies. Have to get in the kitchen and get my coleslaw and salad made. We are having roast lamb and chicken parmesan with roasted potatoes, green peas and green beans. Dessert will be fruit salad which my dil's Mom is bringing. I'll just have to go easy on the potatoes.

HAPPY EASTER ALL MY SUGAR BUDDY FRIENDS

Monet I hope your feeling better this morning and that your BS is back to normal.

Rosalie Your meal sounds delicious, thats nice of your DiL to make a fruit salad for dessert, thats nice and healthy for all.

Eric loves the singing and dancing stuffed easter bunny that the easter bunny brought him, hasen't stopped playing it since he got up. Since he dosen't eat candy it was the perfect choice. The PJ's he threw away just like a regular kid clothes are boring We are heading outto visit a friend with a little autistic boy for the day so it won't seem so lonely on Easter without family.

Have a wonderful day all and keep smiling.

Posted on wrong board before...
Hey everyone! I have been on Sugar Busters before and lost weight...I have also been on these boards before...but that was a long time ago...probably 2003-2004. I got pregnant and then I just stopped. After I gave birth I lost some weight doing weight watchers...but now it just seems like its not working for me. I have no motivation really. So last week I decided to come back here to see what was happening and again I got the motivation to start...so I started last Tues and have been doing great. I am very deciplined in eating any type of sugar...im actually scared of it...and thats how I was the first time I lost weight doing SB. I knew sugar was the enemy and i never touched it or anything WHITE!
So I googled SB and of course you know once you do that, you get all the negatives that come along with it! And now, of course, Im not so motivated anymore. So now I ask you guys for help! I need some motivation...I need some PROS to get me going again! I hope you guys read this...I know its Easter Sunday and everyone is busy and the new thread will start tomorrow. I guess I just need to hear that people are actually losing weight! I have about 90-100lbs to lose. PLEASE HELP!!!!

P.S....Anyone know where Debbie is "Debelli'??????

Happy Easter Day all.

Went to church this morning and when I returned home the Ester Bunny had been here. He brought a beautiful lily plant, SF chocolate and jelly beans. I'm so lucky to have a thoughtful son and DIL.

MONET: Hope your bg is better this morning so you will have more energy to enjoy the day.

ROSALIE: We are having anon-tradional meal. DS found rib eyes on sale and is going to BBQ them for dinner tonight. Don't know what the sides will be. I don't cook on weekends although for a holiday I usually help out. No help is needed this time.

MO: Nice that Eric can enjoy the bunny. At least you're honest, what kid thinks PJs are a winner? Hope you enjoy the day with your friends.

CHRISD: Welcome back. I fell off the wagon at some point too. I had to come back, nothing else helped me like this board does. Also the woe is so good as you know. I have lost 14# so far in three weeks. Have about 86 to go. Will I make it? Not for lack of trying. The wonderful people here are a Godsend. You realize you're not the only one who struggles, celebrates each pound and needs encouragement. You got help the minute you posted. We have to help ourselves at times, by saying you need help you're helping yourself. Others when they post will welcome you with open arms.

Debbie had too much on her plate (no pun intended) getting son ready for college and her daughter into so many things. Probably since she left it is hard to come back like so many of us have experienced.

Have a good day and feel good about yourself.

Well everyone, think I'll watch a Shirley Temple movie, there's a marathon of her films today. Will rest up for the coming week.

May good things happen, Shirley

Happy Easter all my buster buddies! I have spent the morning and early afternoon in bed, sleeping. I felt crummy. I am not sure if it was related to my low bg yesterday or not, but I am having a hard time functioning today. I wonder if I caught a light case of my daughter's bug....

I put a ham in the oven this morning so we could have an early dinner. Guess who forgot to turn the oven on?? When Tom discovered what I had done, he turned it on. So we will have a late dinner just before we leave for 6pm service at church.

SEF: That was sweet of your son...mine can be that way, but unfortunately he is up in New York City. The ones here are not as thoughtful. In fact, they walked out to go to IHOP for a late breakfast a while ago, and did not even say 'we are leaving', 'so long' nothing...grrrr. So rude!

MO: Don't you LOVE it when you get your kid a present and they LOVE it? Happy Easter to you!

ROSALIE: Your day sounds like a wonderful time. I tried to get my older daughter to come for dinner, but they never called back. I love Easter...I wish my family would celebrate with us.

CHRIS: Welcome back. I remember you. Deb just quit posting about two years ago. I guess she lost interest. You could probably get her email address from BOB if you wanted to try and get in touch with her. As for folks losing weight on SB, there are a good number who have. Solly has lost over 100, so has Heartmom. I don't know what negatives you found, but I can't imagine what someone could find that is negative about Sugarbusters. It is just healthy eating. No white flour and sugar, and lots of veggies and lean protein. What is wrong with that? My doctor recommends it to his patients as the best plan to follow. It is simple, straight forward, and it works, in addition to be healthy. Posting here regularly helps keep you on track. Hop on the wagon and join us. When you were here before you had a son who was about four, right? Now do you have two? Tell us about them...

I need to go check on the ham again!

Hi Chris and Welcome nice to meet you.

I started SB on March 8 one month ago and have lost 25lbs so far so l have nothing but good to say about it. A little about me, l have a almost 4 year old son who is autistic and totally non verbal, we just moved across the country from Ont to Alberta to get better services for our son Eric. So we have no family or friends to celebrate holidays with except for the familys l have met with sutistic kids from Eric's school. I also have health issues l have Ceral Palsy and Epilepys so the added weight was hurting me, my legs and hips and lower back was hurting alot so l just said l have to change for myslef and my son.

Please stop in often and post as much as you need too. The Ladies here are all wonderful and so cheerful.

Good Evening Ladies, nice to see that everyone had a good day. We were suppose to do BBQ at DD's house but with the weather yesterday we decided to move everything here to our house where we'd have more room indoors & the carport to BBQ. Well it turned out to be a beautiful day & we had a great time. Must have been about 50 of us. DB was in from New York & niece with her family from Mississippi, so it was nice to see them.

I think I did pretty good with my eating. I did have a little dessert but decided on one thing & had a small amount just not to feel deprived & moved on. Stayed busy & away from the food. LOL

MO, I think you're doing so great with this WOE! Keep up the great work. Eric sounds like he's having a blast with his new toy!

Monet, sorry to hear your BS is making you feel so poorly. Hope tomorrow's better!

SEF, how sweet of your DS & DIL to treat you to something special. DD bought me a bouquet of daisies. I did not buy any candy for any of my grandchildren this year. I figured it's not good for them so I'd rather not buy it. Only the 7 y.o. asked what I had for him.

Chris I think I remember you also. Great to have you back. Yes, SB works! I lost 60 lbs the first time & losing again. It's the only WOE for me. Stick around & join in, we'll encourage each other as the rest of us do!

BOB, The jello egg molds were out a couple of years ago. I think you can still get them through jello. I made 2 & 1/2 dozen sf jello eggs & forgot to take them out ogf the frig until everyone left

Well it's been a long day & I need to be up & out of here early tomorrow am, so Nite!

THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU!!!!
See, thats all I needed to hear and I knew I could count on this group to say the things that I needed to hear! I had an off day yesterday...Carrabas will do that to you! But back on plan today! Im excited...this is exactly where I need to be!

MONET - Yes I guess my son at the time was around 2 or 3 closer to 3 I guess...and yes I do also have a daughter now...she just turned 2 in Feb. She is the reason I gained all my weight back!! But, very well worth it!

Again....thank you all so very much for the encouragement!!!!

Good Morning Ladies

Thouoght I would get in a quick post before it turns crazy. Easter was nice. I had about 20 people at my house. The weather was so cold in the 40's. But the kids braved it (they never notice cold) and had their egg hunt. My sisters fill the eggs with candy and money, so they love it.

I was worn out when they left. Seems like I never have a day to do nothing or what I want to do. Oh well. Next week my niece from MD is coming home so I will have to go to Lexington to see them. We are also going to the races in Lexington on Friday. So that will be 2 trips there in 2 days. Maybe I should just stay, but my DD wants to go too. That means 2 tanks of gas, and boy, the prices are out the roof here. Oh well.

The scale was up 10 lbs from last Monday. I haven't had time to remember my 2nd diuretic each day so I know that is the problem. I need to get very strict as I have an outfit I want to fit back into for my nieces wedding in July. So I am hoping I can get out of here on time this week and get to the gym again.

Not much time for replies.
Melf, congrats on your walking.

Chrisd, welcome back. I remember you. I am currently doing WW with my DD's but continue to come here for support. Also incorporating the SB way too. You can do this if you se t your mind to it and decide what is important to you.

Missy, enjoy your week off.

Bob, hope your interview goes well.

Monet, glad your trips to the mountains are helping develop your style.

Mo, glad your DS is feeling better.

Sef, glad to see you back posting.

Thunder,

Any one else I missed, Hope to be back daily.

Hello everyone! Dinner went well tonight. Only about half the usual 50 showed up, so I have a ton of leftovers. I froze the bbq, and will use it for another dinner sometime. I had baked beans and broccoli slaw left too. I left the cupcakes at the church. Laura had ridden over there with me, and unfortunately, Kaeleb got fussy so she was in a hurry to leave and get him home to bed. He really likes his routine!

I am so tired now, after sleeping poorly, and having such a busy day, that I am about to go to bed. One of my cats, the oldest one, is sleeping on my bed and he is purr-snoring rather loudly. He is NOT going to be happy when I climb in there!

Tom started his new job today. He liked it so far. They have a cafeteria, so he can pack a lunch, or get lunch there. He ate there today and said it was so so. At least it is an option!

The school called me today and asked me to come in Friday and sub for the art teacher again. They want me to come in on Monday as well and do a clay lesson with the kids. I have to go purchase clay for it...and glazes. I think this is a good sign. I understand they tend to hire new teachers from their sub list...

Tomorrow, I need to get a walk in. I have been really lax about it. I think the weather is going to warm up again, so I have no excuses! You all hold me to that, ok?

BOB: What's happening with the job? Check in please!

Quiet day!! My post will be really short but wanted to say hi. 1 lb loss this week. I guess that's not too bad considering. I know I'm losing but it soooooo slow!

Nite all!

Rosalie , 04-09-2007 11:53 PM

Hi everyone

Just wanted to check in before heading off to bed. Dinner with the family went well yesterday. My eating wasn't the best but to-day I am back on track. I wanted to walk this morning but woke up late so skipped the walk but did go and play a few games of badminton. Hope to get up early enough in the morning to walk before going bowling.

ChrisD - Welcome back. I remember you from a few years ago. I just returned to the fold a few months ago after being away for a couple of years.

Two days in a row, that is good for me lately. I really need to come here too.
Did make it to the gym last night. 55 minutes. Boy did it kill me too. You can really tell when you haven't been there for awhile.
It is still cold here. All our pretty flowering trees and bushes have been destroyed by this cold spell. It is still below freeing this morning, but going to 50! At least Friday they are predicting 70 and I am off to go to the races in Lexington. Can't wait for a break.

Monet, what a shame to fix all that food and only half show up. Maybe the subbing job will turn into full time. Do you want to work fulltime? Glad Tom likes his new job.

Melf, Congrats on your 1 lb loss. A pound is a pound, but we are never satisfied. You are doing so great with losing and your walking. It pays off.

Rosalie, jump back on the wagon. It should get nicer soon so you can get your walks in. Will you continue to mall walk or go outside when it warms up?

Gonna get started. Should be a good day, I say that and then it turns crazy.

Have a wonderful day. Oh, BTW, I lost 7 lbs of water yesterday. Sure hope another 5 or 6 come off today. Isn't that just nuts!!!!!

Good morning! I just spent a few hours playing with the baby. He was getting fussy so I put him down for a nap. His parents are still snoozing. Boy, do they owe me! haha!

I am kind of frustrated. My weight just keeps creeping up. I think it is the thyroid med levels are not right. I plan to go back to my old doctor as soon as Tom's new insurance kicks in.

I am not sure what all I will do today. I really should go down and work in the garagio. I am having a hard time getting motivated to do anything. I at least folded all the laundry and got it put away. I need to wash two or three more loads though. Never ends, does it?

I will check in later!
