I for one am looking forward to useing Debbie's recipe for
ww tortillas. Its been 2 months since I have had any bread.
I have diabetes so I want to keep my starchy carbs few
and far between. This morning I did have a ww waffle it
was really good for a change. I have not lost much but I
do feel a lot better.



I was glad to hear about everyone's weight lose. Keep up the good work!;)

WIW
 

Hi y'all. WIW was not too bad to me today. Still stuck at 154, but no loss is better than a gain.:lol: Hope everyone in Izzy's path is safe. Not much time to post replies now. It's the end of the six weeks and that means mucho paper work and stuff to do.

DEBELLI- I guess the true test as to whether or not I can keep off those quick loss pounds will be once I begin adding the carbs back into my menu. I think they will though because I have lost weight before and kept it off. It will just be a matter of adding things back slowly until I get back to SB eating and really sticking to SB faithfully. All of this will come in time I suppose but here is to hoping! After seeing these great numbers again (which I haven't seen since my High School and University days ) that is already great incentive for me to stick with it!

Just checking back in,

Congrats to all the losers, all others, hang in there.

BTW, where is everybody lately???

Tranquil, Hate that you are feeling bad. I can relate. I missed chat too. Feel better soon. Stay dry.

Gracious, Wow 4 lbs. and 8 in a week and a half. You are awesome. Spill the beans, what are your secrets. I'm sure all of us would love to see the same results.Keep up the good work. You are only 1 lbs lower than me. Your signature will be true next week or you will have to lower it. Congrats!!!!

Jenn, oH MY GOSH 10 days. How exciting. Sorry you feel so bad. Things will come together. Try not to get to stressed out and enjoy all the festivities. Hurry back. We miss you.

Deb, I started to mention to you about the lap top, but I figured there wouldn't be an internet connection. But good idea to catch up. What a bummer, Eli off and you're not. That really makes the day go longer. Glad you are feeling better all around. I think you are a little harder on yourself than you should be. I knew you didn't gain that much wt. You'll be at that cushion before you know it. We won't tell you mom about the phone line. BTW, I made the cheescake on Sunday. Brought 1 pc to the girl at work doing SB with me and DH ate some and I have 1 pc left. So I didn't do too bad, only 1 piece a day for me. I have the same motto when it comes to sick kids. They always got mad at me, but it has paid off in the long run. Now they won't miss school or work for nothing. They have developed good work ethics. That is something you hardly see any more especially in young adults. You mentined you talked to Nance, How is she? Is she coming back soon?

Thunder1, Hope you are doing good. Have a great day.

Music, I agree, hang in there. It will move soon.

Have a great nite.

Jackie

JACK-k- There isn't any secret, there just isn't any carbs! :eek: We are close, aren't we? I think we asked each other before, but I am asking again! How tall are you? I am 5'8.5" tall and am a large framed person. When I was in High School I was a size 7 and weighed in the area of 145-150. I am now size 10-12 but want to be a complete 10, as it were. You know, 9/10 in everything. Anything smaller is too small for me now I think. Hey, I am 34 and with 3 kids so I think that is small enough! Afterall, I still want to be able to eat and enjoy food.

Bob!!!!

BTW--did you know that it's the 4th saturday this year??? --freaked me out!!!----debyj

ohhhh WIW---i weigh---drumroll--200lbs!

Very Early Thursday Morning
 

Morning everyone! I'm going to try to get a post in before Belle decised she wants to snuggle. Lately she has decided that our snuggle time will be when I am at the computer and trying to work. She climbs into my arms and purrs so sweetly, but then I can't type. Now when I'm watching tv and I want to snuggle with her do you think she will have anything to do with me? Nope.

Rain, rain, rain here. We are under a flood watch and a wind advisory for this afternoon. Still those LA girls are really in the middle of Izzy--so keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Jackie--You go girl! 90 Lbs--that's quite a milestone!:cb: :cb: :cb:
I'm proud of you!

BOB--I hope BB went your way last night. I must say that I haven't gotten into watching either that or Survivor. But don't even call me on Sunday nights when the Sopranos are on!!!!

Gracious--WTG on your loss!!!!!:cb:

LKF--I found the WW tortillas in the bread aisle at Super Walmart. Deb is right about watching the portions though!

Deb--yes on the toilet paper!

Jenn--Hope you are feeling better--10 days will pass quickly. I know everything will be just beautiful!

OK--got to go.

Mornin, all!

Ugh, under water even as far north as Birmingham...rain hasn't let up for almost 48 hours now and today will be the heaviest! But I agree with you, Fillise, all our LA friends are getting it the worst. Sounds like they have already gotten over 10 inches before coming all the way inland!

Thanks, Fillise, for the scoop on where to find the ww tortillas. I'll look up here at the WalMart on that bread isle...thought I had but I'll look again.

Hey, I have a question for anyone who knows. Y'all talk a lot about the wonderful cheesecake you make and enjoy...but I was wondering if we couldn't adjust recipes like cookies we like to prepare for the Christmas Holidays, using ww flour and Splenda instead of regular flour and sugar. Anyone tried this with anything they like to bake for the Holidays?

BOB- I am honoured at being addressed by *The BOB* ! hehe Thanks for the encouragement. I feel the same way, let's just get these blooming pounds off and keep them off!!

DEBYJ- You are grooving girl! Just 1 lb away from the 100's and that is a great milestone. I remember making the transition, it did so much for me to know I weighed less than 200 lbs.

FILLISE- My mew mew is sitting here on my lap purring away too! I love when he cuddles like this. I just lean forward a bit and put my arms around him while I type. He snuggles in close and rubs his face on my chin.

THUNDR1-Keep up the good work. The feeling better is a great motivation to eat right, isn't it?!

MUSIC- Sending hellos to you . Better to maintain than gain!

The board has been slow lately...I wonder why.

DEBELLI- You mentioned NANCE in a post there....where did she go to? Did she fall of the wagon or can't she get to the board? NANCE, if you are reading this I am sending my greetings and hopes that you hop back on if you have fallen off.

Anyway....off we go to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of OZ.

Hi all!!!:)

Thunder1- I am diabetic also that is why I chose SB and it has made such a difference in my blood sugars.

Deb- Glad you are feeling better. The next time the Dr. talks about SB I'll give him your number.;) You know it is funny he didn't say anything about all of my blood work coming out normal Cholestrol, etc. He just said all your numbers are normal.

Gracious- Congrats on your wonderful weight loss. :cb:

Jack-K- You go Girl!! What a wonderful milestone to reach. You are truly an inspiration. :cb: :cb:

Well I am down 7lbs. I am posting a maintain because this is the weight gain I showed when I was on meds for my sinus infection.

Toni 48, Heartmom, Fillise, LKF, Tranquil and Serene - HI!! :wave:

Sorry I don't have time to post individually. Well have a great day everyone!!

Hey Gang! long Time No Post
 

Hi All.

I haven't posted in a couple/few weeks. I try to peek in once in a while to just try to keep up with everyone. I just seem to have so much to do.

My WIW was good. Down to 167. Actually, over the past week or so, I've seen that number several times. I think this old body is actually gonna give up a couple of pounds.

My eating has been ok. I did have a few days of binges. Silly me bought some "sugar ice wafers". Doesn't the name just scream "DON'T EAT ME"? But I bought some cause they were on sale and I thought I'd be able to eat just a couple. HA! No way. Scarfed down nearly a whole pack (1/2lb :yikes: ). I did that a couple of times. Made me feel real sleepy a couple of hours later and I felt all bloated and crappy. So I learned my lesson and just the thought of something sweet makes me feel ill.

I really need to get back into exercise. I think if I do that, then I will be able to drop a few pounds. I have been doing walking a couple of times a week. I walk DS to school and pick him up. The walk home is all uphill, but I still manage to hike it at a good pace.

I love the support on this board. When I can get in a few minutes to skim the posts it helps to reinforce the good things about this WOE.

I thought I might do better with an email buddy, as I'm good at answering my emails. I get kind of overwhelmed trying to keep up with the board (tho, I love to keep caught up on everyone :D ) and thought that staying in constant touch with one or two people might be better for me.

I know everyone is so busy with their own lives and this board, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in being my email buddy. Or maybe there is a lurker out there who is a little afraid to post on the board and would maybe want to "talk" thru email. If you are interested, send me a PM and we'll work out details. Like I said, I understand you all are busy, so please don't feel like you have to do this.

Thanks so much for letting me ramble and "listening" to me.

:wave:

Hey y'all!

Just a post to let you all know that we made it through the storm! Whew! I was up most of the night with those damn tornado warnings! I hate that! I absolutely LOVE storms but the whole tornado thing freaks me out! If y'all happen to watch the weather channel - they are showing our area. Our family camp is on Grand Isle - which got a direct hit and I teach in Houma - which made the today show today. I just wish when they pulled people for natioal TV they would be a little more selective! They always seem to pick someone that has a TERRIBLE cajun accent and no teeth or something like that! We are off of school today and possibly tomorrow due to the flooding. Our house was fine - Thibodaux was just East of the eye of the storm so we just got some tropical storm force winds and a lot of rain! Poor New Orleans is under water! Well, I'll check back later!! Just wanted to give you an update!

Missy, so glad y'all are O.K.! It's heading for us but will be much more calm by the time it gets to us! I know what you mean about always picking toothless hicks to represent your area -- they do the same thing in Alabama...but, hey, there's a bright side! The rest of the world will think, "Dang! I sure don't want to ever live there...nothing but a bunch of uneducated hicks you can't understand!"...and our areas won't grow so big. I'm from Hollywood, California, where you could shake hands with your neighbor out your bathroom window...I have lived in a log cabin in the woods in an unincorporated part of Alabama for the last 17 years and I LOVE THE SECLUSION AND QUIET! So let those newsmen interview those kind of people...it will keep the population down! Hee hee!

Still here...
 

Just chiming in to let you guys know I'm still around. Frustrated at my weight loss or lack of. I'm only down 1 pound.
