Gracious...
I quit Atkins 2 days ago after a 3 1/2 week stall and dropped 2 pounds. Pretty funny. My hubby on the other hand is loosing great. Everyone is different.
I don't think being in ketosis is a part of the plan on SB. Some may find them selves in ketosis, but you are not really suposed to be.

Bob,
CSI...that would be me! I am so hooked on that show! The Agency is pretty good too! I just don't watch tv that much. I get my kids into bed by 8:30 and finish cleaning up by 9:00...but I am so tired. I get on the computer or read most nights.
The thing in Carolina sounds so awesome! I would hope to be at my goal by then!!! If not, get out an axe..that will take care of it
Goal pants...WTG! I bet I could find a few of those around my house. They fit about 1/2 way up my thigh

I actually exercised.....I hate to exercise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I did it. Not too much. About 30 min on the tredmill.....man, you should have seen the dust on that baby
So I am going to try to do that everyday...try!!!

Have a nice evening everyone!

Evening All

Today was a very BORING day. I didn't do a flipping thing all day-weather stunk-not even a garage sale got me out there today! Just a lazy arse day. Weather is appearing to clear up here though and it's getting cooler outside. I'm hoping tomorrow morning will be nice-may try to extend my walk by another mile if it is.

Thought I'd get in a post before it got too late-plus COPS is coming on My kids think it's a hoot that I watch that show-they call it "THE WHITE TRASH SHOW."

Eating has been fabulous today-though not water intake-had a sip, that's about it so far-will go have a "milkshake" and try to drink a bit more water.

I wanted to mention something that I thought was interesting and worth sharing, esp. for those of you who don't have a lot of weight to lose, or for those who are within a small range of getting to goal.

I was looking back on my WEIGHT COMMANDER PROGRAM and looked back to see when it was the first time that I hit the 10lbs from goal point. It was January 19, 2001-I didn't hit my original goal weight til almost 5 months later, on June 10, 2001. Remember, I didn't cheat and was exercising 6 days a week and it took me what appears to be a long time, but in reality, it went by quickly. I lost an average of 2lbs a month, which isn't bad at all.

Why do I mention this-just to show you all that it's a slower process when you have less to lose or near goal, but with patience and a goal in mind, you can do it. Not to give in easily because the pounds aren't falling off fast enough and you get discouraged and blow it all to smithereens-just stay focused and you'll be rewarded by getting to your intended goal weight

My preaching for the day is concluded

ZSU, I'm thrilled you are coming-I didn't want you to miss this either, but after you mentioned that you couldn't come I just figured that was final-so I'm glad you changed your mind : ) Looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the gang in just 2 weeks! Hope your nephew enjoyed his birthday party today!!

KIMMY, glad to hear you're doing well and feeling good-that's the way it should be As BOB mentioned, FROG secured us a beach house on the NC shore for the second weekend in Oct. (Thurs-Sunday) and we are having a SB GET TOGETHER for all those on the board! It's going to be a big event and one you won't want to miss-so start your planning NOW so when it comes up no one can say you didn't give them fair warning. We have some great stuff planned and it's going to be a once in a life time event-but hopefully, a huge success that we'll want to make it a yearly thing-who knows!

FROG, CONGRATS on the pant-o-meter! Girl, you are burning up the scale lately. I'm so sorry about the pics on the CD, pisses me off that they screwed this up. I'm hoping when I get a chance, I can get Michael to try to open it up somehow, he's lots better with this stuff than I am-I can't get it open for nothing! DH is a dear to help that couple-I hope they appreciate it, but if they are friends with Mr. & Mrs. Spewer I doubt it-but at least BP knows he's a good man!!! And so do you, and THAT'S what counts! Oh yes, I shall refrain from passing wind amongst new friends-as you watch me rise from the ground like a Macy's Day Parade balloon, just know, I'm holding it all in out of respect and friendship!!! The party at STARBUCKS was their 5th Anniversary at that particular store. Poor Eli must be pooped, not only from being sick, but working all day til late last night (I was asleep when he came home) and he had to open this morning, so was up around 4:30am and he won't get home til about 10:30pm-most likely, I'll be sleeping and I'm not sure if he's off tomorrow, or not!
Hope he is, he needs some rest and relaxation.

MEL, tell DB that I don't do fish, anyhow, I hear that place is expensive-of course, he would pick that place, it's a man's paradise! I've never been, no interest, but I've heard. No, no Ole Ole is a MUST! You've heard me speak of it every week. That is, unless you don't like that type of food. Then we can mosey over to WHOLE FOODS HFS and then some Carbolite and one other HFS and possibly, if time permits, one other low-carb store. He's only 10 minutes from Broward Mall, that's only 10 minutes from Ole Ole-it's right across the street!!!

GRACIOUS, CONGRATS on another pound down the drain Great to hear you're not going to need a hair transplant! People really don't realize just how terrible Atkins is from them. I've only met 1 person who was successful on it and I've met many who've tried it. Not knowing much about Ketosis, I'm sure more do than I, but I don't think you want to be in it at all on SB-hopefully, your body is getting out of that phase!

BOB, you are scaring everyone!!! Geez, let them meet me first before you sent me to the GAS CHAMBER!!!! Yes, of course, your COLUMBIAN COFFEE is already here at the house. I'm just praying that Eli finds someone who doesn't want their coffee this week-I need him to bring some more home. Also, bringing up your canisters, your tomato splash and gosh knows what else I have for you-a few things, I think.

Okay, almost time for my white trash show-have a good one!

Hi everybody. Just now getting to get on the puter and catch up on the last couple of days posts. I took Thursday off to try and get over this crud. I slept alllll morning. and felt better when I got up. I went back to work Fri. We had an inservice day so I didn't have kids to deal with. Dennis is sick too and went to the dr. yesterday. Serious sinus infection. He's better today. We spent the day cleaning house. I didn't really want to, but he's full of whatever they gave him in that shot yesterday and he can't sleep. He's hyper. Anyway we got a lot of cleaning done. I haven't been too good the last few days. I'm really having trouble staying OP. Come on, girls, give me a pep talk.
I know I'm a little behind with posting on the Olympics, but I had to say something about the women's skating. Sarah was fantastic, wasn't she. I wanted Michelle Kwan to win too, but it just wasn't to be. I think I told y'all that my brother is covering the figure skating for his paper. Anyway, I got an email from him yesterday and he was really excited about the whole thing. He said you just can't imagine how exciting it is there in person.

Jeanie: Congrats to your daughter. I don't know of any rule that says her choir has to participate in UIL. In fact, we have a girl from our hs that has made all state choir and we don't even have a choir program at Mt Vernon. Band directors are quite often difficult to work with. They see choir as a threat. So, he may have given you some bad info. I'll see what I can find out.

Well, I'm jealous of all of y'all that are getting together. Hey Jeanie, maybe we need to have a TX get together. If I haven't said it already....welcome to all you newbies. You'll love it here.

Gotta snooze.

Good Morning All!

Going to Pilates in a little while; it's my substitute for church

Debbie- That's so funny about "Cops"; DH loves that show, and my DS3 has been known to start singing the "Bad Boys" song when he sees a police car. We notice that you have about an 85% chance of being arrested if you aren't wearing a shirt.

Still waiting on my book from half.com. I did make a trip to Trader Joe's and Fresh Fields (Whole Foods) to buy some whole wheat products; I didn't see any agave nectar though.

Hope everyone has a lovely, relaxing Sunday.

Laura

Good Sunday Morning Everyone

It's an absolutely GORGEOUS DAY here in Miami! Only complaint is it's very windy, but otherwise a spectacular day!!!!

I have to say I AM PROUD OF MYSELF!!! Today I jogged longer than ever and added some addtional length to my walk. I did 5.35 miles today in 55:55 minutes and out of that I jogged a straight 4.90 miles-almost 5 miles. I wish I would of measured the length beforehand cause I could of easily added another .15 miles to it 5.5 miles and could of ran another .10 to make it 5 miles even. Oh well, next time!

Eli is working on his day off today. He has me pooped, he coughed ALL NIGHT LONG! Of course, it didn't seem to bother him, but me, that's another story-he's keeping me up, but I didn't say anything to him because I don't want him to go sleep on the couch. I'll probably have to take a nap later to play catch up.

I think this weeks poll had more responses than any poll to date. It's interesting, at least to me, to see the responses you all chose. The thing that I can see is, everything that people have a problem with, there's an alternative for you to be able to have something similar, yet be able to stay OP. With baked goods, just find something you can make with SB LEGAL products, chips, there's sweet potato chips, there's some wonderful soy protein chips (most are yucky, but there's a good brand I found), ice cream is okay, but you have to chose something like Breyers Vanilla, or even Coffee. There's lots of alternatives out there.

Not sure of what I am going to do today-kids are going with their Dad in 45 minutes-I need to get in the shower and get something to eat and decide.

MUSIC, sorry to hear you've not been feeling well. Must be something going around-Eli has cruddiness too! What's going on that you are having a tough time staying OP?? I find many who are away from the board for long tend to have trouble-so get back on the board kiddo, we'll kick your butt back into gear!!! Wish you Texans would do a get together-you'd have a great time!!!!

SEMMENS, yeah, yeah, rub it in, you have a TRADER JOES and I don't. WAIT. If you have a TJ's in your area, does that mean MELIRIS has one??????? You should ask the FF Mgr. if he can order the agave for you-tell them the brand is SWEET CACTUS FARMS.

MEL, are you near a TRADER JOES??? PLEASE SAY YES!!!!! Please tell me you can bring me a few things if you do!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!!!!

Okay, I'm a goner for the day. Please remember tomorrow is MOTIVAITONAL MONDAY so if you have any words of wisdom, quotes or stories that you think would be inspirational to share with the board, please, try to post them tomorrow!

Have a great day!!

Debbie

Hi Everyone!!!

So sorry I’ve been MIA these past couple of days. Glad to see so many new names and all the good spirit that this board is made of. We’ve been busy. Paul’s trying his darnedest to get these machines all fixed for my office, but it’s taking so long. I don’t see how you all stand to use PCs. They are so complicated. But that’s just my opinion, don’t expect everyone to feel that way.

Got us yesterday with a sore throat that is lingering. I’m going to take it easy today. We’re having a big breakfast to thank Verizon for giving us a ton of money on Tuesday. So I have to be okay for that day. And tomorrow there will be a lot of last minute preps for it. Think I’ll sparkle on Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. Not bloody likely!!! We’re supposed to meet at the office at 6:45. Yuck! Double yuck!!!

I’ve been busy with my genealogy stuff. Went to the library on Friday afternoon and found the mother lode for one branch. An actual book published with the line coming all the way from England in 1630. How cool is that? Now I just have to get proof and that part is finished. It’s pretty exciting if you’re into that sort of thing.

FROG---Your Dixie sounds like an absolute doll. Close friends of ours just got a 1.5 year old chocolate named Bronze. She’s wonderfully laid back and so sweet. She got pregnant early at the breeders who owned her then and had a rough time with the birth and they had to do C-section. So the breeder wanted to find a good home for her and our friends lucked out. She’s perfect. I would love to have her. She’s just the kind of personality that our Maddie girl (the big worry wart) would get along with. Hey, I’ll keep your grandma in my thoughts and prayers. What a hard thing for all of you to be going through. Some of those meds they have out now can really help with it. I have an aunt who, last year, was really confused about everything and now she’s doing great!!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this will help with your granny.

KIMMY---Yes, our weather has been really weird. Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat and it’s still here today. Yucksville. Thought I was actually going to skip the headcold nonsense this year. I watched the second Survivor, but skipped the third one. I kind of like it, but then again sometimes it bugs the heck out of me. So who knows what I’ll do. I may just listen to you and BOB talk about it. LOL BTW, you’ll do great with the transition from A to SB. You’ll feel like you’re in heaven with all the extras you get to indulge in. Also, read the note to BKM below. Think about getting together with us during the week if you want. I love SB get-togethers. I’ve met DEB once and BOB twice and we had so much fun. I felt like we’d known each other for years the moment we said hello. By the way, what area of town do you live it? I’m in Mt. Airy.

MELF---I loved your tribute to BOB. That was great. Since I live just across the river from Ohio and since I lived in the mountains of TN for four years, I consider myself pretty close to being a souther girl. That was so good.

SEF---Your Friday funny was great. How true, how true!!!

BOB---My bad on the KROGER faux paux. Please forgive me. We were there yesterday and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that Kroger plus card. You can really save with it.

BKM---You’re right about that Skyline Dip. It’s WONDERFUL!!! And around here, if you’re going to a party, you can bet your last paycheck that somebody will bring it. Yes, I think we should meet at the Skyline. That will give you a good excuse to “have” to eat it again. I think I forgot to tell BOB this, so I hope she sees it here. BOB, ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION. I heard a radio advertisement last week for Skyline where they have a new selection called THE SKYWARD. They said that the 3-way is the most popular selection. So they’ve made the Skyward to be a 3-way with DOUBLE CHEESE!!!!!! Oh my gosh, just color me died and gone to heaven!!! Now there’s something else for you to look forward to when you get here.

DEB---Eli’s party sounded fantastic. Live music is always a must for a great party. Their name really fit. I don’t know how he keeps up with those ridiculous hours. What a god!!! Way to go on your jogging. You are doing great!!! Would you breathe on me so that I could catch what you have?????

Okay, that’s it for me. I know I missed some of you and I’m sorry. Hopefully, next week will be better.

Take care.
Kim

Debbie-

Mel has a Trader Joe's within about 45 minutes if I'm not totally confused; there's one in Exton. I go to the one in Abington, which is a good 40 minute drive for me usually.

I love the fish they have there, especially the frozen salmon burgers. Plus their price on almond butter is about half that of FF for the same brand. I also get nuts and frozen berries there.

Default Trader Joes in Exton???

Laura (semmons) - I'm in Exton almost everyday and I've never seen a Trader Joe's there! Where is it, do you know? I've been to the one in Wayne (Gateway shopping Center) which is about 20 minutes. Exton would be wonderful ( 7 minutes the other way). Where do you live, laura?

Deb- from above discussion- yes, I can get stuff from Trader Joe's for you. Just send me a list. Personally, I like Fresh Fields a whole lot better, but I know there are some particular TJ items you like. Just let me know what you want and I'd be glad to bring it. As long as I don't need a pickup truck to get it all! As for Ole Ole, that sounds great. I've never met any kind of food I don't like, except KFC doesn't look realy appealing anymore. CONGRATS on your jogging! Girl, you're gonna be running that whole marathon next January while us slugs do the 1/2!

Today is my BFL free day, and after last week's foodfest, decided to keep it SB legal like I had in the past. Ate way too much at a Sunday brunch, but it was all legal ! so I shouldn't feel like I was run over by a truck tomorrow. Just too full

Can't wait for the Canada- US hockey game but I still don't know who to cheer for. Unfortunatly, I have to go to a meeting for ds's summer exchange program at 4:30 so I won't see much of it Dh refuses to go to the meeting. A true Canadian, hockey comes first.

Okay maybe it's the Wayne one I'm thinking of sorry! I live in Hilltown (northwest section of Bucks County, there will never EVER be a TJ here!). The Abington one is closer for me but neither is terribly convenient. We went to Wayne a few weeks ago to pick up some more lovebirds, and stopped in the one there.

Hi everyone

It finally happened - I am also wearing an old pair of jeans that have been tucked away waiting for me to fit in them once again. I've been "saving" them for 2 years. I put them on about a week and a half ago but they were still snug. Yesterday I didn't have any clean jeans to wear (I hate doing laundry) so I figured I could wear them just long enough for me to wash my others. I was so excited - THEY FIT My DD lasted on SB for about 5 days and now is getting worried that I may end up the same size or even smaller than her - heehee. Slowly she is adjusting just becuase I don't buy all the junk I used to. She tried shoving cake in my mouth - it's killing her.

Debbie - I have a couple of agave questions for you. Why is it getting hard to find it? I stopped by one of our local health food stores and they can get it within a week. I just want to make sure I'm getting the right stuff. They sell it in 8oz jars in either light or dark form for $3.45. Does this sound correct? I don't remember the brand - sorry.

All this talk of Kroger sent me to check out one near our house. I just needed a few things but spent an hour looking at all the stuff they had - they even had a section of the store that was all natural stuff. Pretty interesting. They by far had the best looking produce section so I'll be shopping there quite often.

I am so impressed with all you joggers/runners - I have been one of those couch potatoe moms for way too long. When I was 12 I was in gymnastics and took a bad fall and hurt my hip. Since then I can not do things that put a lot of pressure on the joint (running, aerobics...). We have a gazelle and it is working great. Anyone else have one of these?

Hello everyone! It is a beautifu day!

My 4th grader just won one of their basketball tuney games!!! It was exciting, though his sport is soccer.

Kim...
I live in Loveland. We did live in West Chester. I am from Columbus, so I am not real good on areas yet...and it has been almost 5 years. Are you a football fan? Hard to love those poor Bengals, huh. I actually am not big into sports, but am a big OSU fan. I did cheer for the bengals, but for more personal reasons....my son loves them. Plus his best friends dad was one of the coaches till he quit 2 months ago.
I would love to meet anytime. I am a stay at home mom who has not met too many people, aside from church. So the more the better. Not to mention, someone who is doing this WOL.




Have a great day all!!

Evening All

Had plans to go shopping today by myself, just to get some COCONUT CARBOLITE. I called the shop, gal tells me, no coconut today-but the owner PROMISED me there would be coconut-I was upset, to say the least. So decided I wouldn't go up there. About 2:30pm she calls me to tell me she didn't realize the machine at the end had COCONUT! Well, Eli was at work and I had told him I was staying home then when he called me back told him they did have COCONUT-that wonderful man of mine told me to come pick him up-took me out to dinner and then we got a MEGA SIZE COCONUT! What he doesn't do for me!!! What a guy!!! I pigged out! More than likely I'll see a gain tomorrow from too much maltodextrin in there-I won't tell you what size it was, but it was bigger than a large-et's just say, you know how they pack sherbert in the plastic containers-that's what I got! BUT, Eli did eat a little of it-I do share, you know

Anyhow, I'm in my jammies and going to watch the boob tube in a few-just thought I'd get in a post before the night gets old.

QUILTER, how did you get all the way back to the 1600's? I'd love to find my roots, but gosh knows I'm such a mixture, I don't know how far back I'd be able to go! That really is pretty cool. Did you find any royal blood in you?? Hope you feel better-bad to feel icky. Hey, I can breath on you, but I bet if I gave you some hellacious gas I could certainly get you to run then!! LOL!!!!

MEL, okay, is ANY TJ's within a decent distance to you? I don't want you to go out of your way-no, I'd be the only one to travel 4 hours to go to a Trader Joes! I really don't need much, just a few staple items is all-if not, don't worry about it, not that there's anything I don't have in reserves-just don't like running out. They need to build one just for me down here!!! Trust me, I'll be walking most of that marathon next year-you'll only see this bootie run downhill and on flat lands-we have no hills here and I am not running up any of them up there!

SEMMONS, I hit every TJ's in any a city I go to-Calif. Nevada, Maryland-I go to them all-when I went to visit NANCE (board member) in Palm Dessert I went 3 times in the few days I was with her-lets not mention the 3 I hit in Vegas during the same week! I can't agree with you more about the MARANTHA ALMOND BUTTER, price can't be beat! Their WW pita is wonderful, the TOMATO SPLASH is great, love their EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL-their cheeses, esp. the CELTIC CHEDDAR & FF JALAPENO-they even have the 75% CABOT CHEESE I buy down here. Lots of goodies-I love that store!!!!

POOCH, CONGRATS ON THE PANTS!! I have some of those pants too. Size 6 CALVIN KLEINS bought about 6 years ago-still has the tags on there-going to put them in a museum one day! I'm smaller than my DD who's 14, but she could care less, really. Give your DD a run for her money-or her clothes!!! The reason agave is hard to get is because there was only 1 importer bringing it into the US and they stopped doing so-just stopped all at once, without warning. Seems the tequila makers have to only use 51% blue agave in their tequila and can put wild agave for the rest of it. Blue agave got so expensive, so they were importing the wild. Then the tequila people started to pay MORE for the wild and they didn't want to sell it cheaper to the importer, and he was losing money, so he just stopped importing it. Whatever stock is out there is old, but still appears to be good. The shelf life was thought to be 2 years, but seems that if you keep it out of the heat and light probably for longer-hope so, I have about 80-90 bottles I think! The HFS is selling it above retail, suggested retail price is $2.99 a bottle for SCF, but I have seen CUCAMONGA for more at little mom and pop HFS. I pay $2.59 a bottle. It's a little steep, but if you want it bad enough, you'll have to pay. Hopefully it's Sweet Cactus Farms, I know their supply was not as aged as CUCUAMONGA. As for light vs dark, I have light, dark is not filtered and a bit stronger is all-both are okay, but given the choice, go for the light. If you are contemplating buying a case-ask for a case discount-some stores will give them if you buy a case. I've just been jogging since May, started doing a few feet and thought I'd die-just did a little more each day-can't believe where I am today-it amazes me!!

KIMMY, CONGRATS to DS!! You and QUILTER have to make plans to meet-trust me, she's a doll and you will love her!!! Paul's a sweetie too!

BOB, I can NEVER find anything in the mess at BEALLS at SAWGRASS-okay, I take it back, I did find one pair of pants there-but otherwise, ti's a mess in that store and I don't have the pateince to sift through all the crap. Your SWEETIE did offer SHORTY'S today, should of gone there-went to OUTBACK and they had the nerve to charge $3.99 for a tiny salad with only lettuce, tomato and cuke-highway robbery. Had that and a sweet potato-wanted to save room for the mega-Carbolite I got!

Okay, gals, I'm outta here-see you all sometime tomorrow morning!
