Mornin' Again!
Got my 4.5 miles in, foot hurt a bit, but once I get going I didn't feel it too much. I'm hoping it's nothing, but it feels like a dull pain, as it did for a few years after I broke it (what a story, a very overweight 7mo pregnant me with a cast on her leg when I was pregnant with Michael-broke my foot in Mexico
) Anyhow, I actually made an appointment for the regular Dr. for this Thursday - can you believe it, me, going to the Dr.?!?! Next stop GYN, need to call there today and schedule an appt and a boobie smashing - over 1 1/2 years since I was suppose to go and the time just keeps going by me.
I have a ton of things to do today, but of course, board is the first priority on my list today
NEWBIES if you haven't visited our BIO BOARD yet, please do. We'd love for you to post your bio so we can learn more about you, and vice-versa. The link is below, just click on it:

CATHY,
WELCOME TO THE BOARD! Glad you have decided to join us. You're sure to find a load of support and friendship among the gals that are a vital part of this board. As others have said, please let us know how we can help you. You have picked a very healthy WOE to follow and we'll be happy to help you follow it and reach your goal. Don't hesitate to ask us any questions.
FROG, loved those motivational quotes, esp. the second one. LOL! Thanks for pointing out my little typo there. Nope, it's a pain in my foot, you get pain when you eat my food!! "
It's on the right side of my right food, like I said before, I broke it 15yrs ago, a Jones fracture is what I remember it being called. I am really proud of Michael, actually both kids, but Michael really is something else. I know this kid will go far in his future - I'll start praying soon for scholarships even though he's just a Freshman, have to start praying early!!!
EBABE,
WELCOME TO THE BOARD! I'm sure you will find all the support and friendship you could hope for on this board. Sweet potatoes, as mentioned, are fine. I rarely make them at home, but when I go out for dinner, quite a few places, like Outback, have them in place of white potatoes, so I order them plain. I usually eat 1/2 of a fair sized one, give or take a bit. I don't remember seeing anywhere that there is a limit on how much you can eat a week, but I would say you need to watch your serving size, so maybe a small one, or 1/2 a large one would be a serving, keeping in mind you should limit startchy carbs to 2-3 servings a day. One thing that is nice about SB is that you can modify it to fit you. If you don't have any problems with SP go ahead and eat them in moderation as you like, but if you see that it's having an effect on your losses, cut back or cut them out-each of us is so different and we react to foods differently ie, we aren't suppose to eat bananas, yet BEACHFAN has made goal while eating bananas. Don't hesitate to ask us any questions until your books arrive, and even then, you're bound to have some questions-this is truly a learning experience, and 10 months later, I'm still learning!!!
BEACH, great quote, and oh so true! Sorry to hear things are so hectic lately. Anna, I wouldn't worry so much about that one meal you ate, it won't make a difference in staying at goal, just maybe how you felt after eating it. Those mozz. sticks sound yummy! I thought about making some SB legal jalapeno poppers and mozz sticks long ago, now you just gave me the idea again. I had wondered what happened to you with the board, sorry to hear you had no electricity, I'm sure JOY can relate to your bad hair day real easily-I know I can! 10 days without electricity (after hurricane Andrew) is really the pits, esp, when that was the time in my life I would blow dry my hair straight!
GATORGAL, congrats on the 3/4lb loss -what's the total lost now???
MISSGRACE, cute saying-one we should all remember! Sorry to hear about the attack of the pizza, hope today is better. Isn't Marston great, just a man with wonderful insight! I love his writings!!!!
AMSER (hope you don't mind me shortening it),
WELCOME TO THE BOARD TOO As I've said to all newbies, I'm sure you will be happy in your decision to join the board-great bunch of gals here to help you along the way. You are doing well on SB, don't let a mini stall worry you, it happens, esp. at the beginning as your body adjusts to this WOE. On past diets when I stalled I'd throw in the towel, real quick, but since on SB, I just wait out these stalls and the loss comes! Savannah, such a pretty part of GA!
SAS, wow, that's a big move for 6 months, but I think you will love Boston, so much history there. I've been there once and liked it very much. I liked going to Fenual Hall (I know I'm spelling this wrong), and couldn't believe FILENE'S-geez, the women get undressed right in the middle of the aisles-needless to say, I never tried a thing on in the basement! Being so close to the other states will be fun, everything is so close of a drive, nothing like FL where it takes me almost 7 hours to get out of the state! RHROO lives in MA - maybe you two can meet one day!!!
KAPOLA,
A WARM WELCOME TO YOU TO THE BOARD You are doing wonderfully on SB! You've lost the same as I in 1/2 the time-very impressed!!!! Thanks for posting your bio on the BIO BOARD. You definitely came to the right board for support and encouragment!!!
DONNA, so it's a wee bit cold up your way today I see - wish I could send you a bit of our 75 degree weather from the Sunshine State. Your steak and salad combo sounds delish - I love good chunky bleu cheese! I've never tried the Davinci syrups, though I've seen them. Your hubby is right about saving money with the coffe, though I thank G-d that there are those who go to Starbucks-otherwise, poor Eli (my OH) would be without a job
It's ridiculous to say the least what they charge for coffee, not to mention their pastries. We have Starbucks coffee coming out of the wazoo in our house and I don't even drink it, nor does Eli when he comes home, he gets enough tastings at work - we are generous at giving it away! Ripping wallpaper is a great exercise, but that doesn't last - so what exercise do you think you'd find that you could do and enjoy?
RHROO, that happens to me a lot, losing posts. I've gotten better since I started writing my posts in an e-mail and then coping it into the post. Like I said to SAS, maybe you 2 can meet one day while she's in MA!!!
BIGORANGE, what's with this hot weather! Not that I liked the really cold weather, but something cool is better than this! Any idea what the weather is suppose to be like this weekend???? I didn't see the shrimp on sale at Publix, but did find the sourdough bread. I placed it back on the shelf twice before I decided to get it, it has hydrogentated soybean oil in it, yuck - bought it anyhow and stuck it in the freezer.
JOY, thanks for Michaels congrats. Smart kid, takes after my side of the family! I love ELR, he is too funny!! Don't worry about the pound, I'm sure it's hormones, a couple slices of bread can't do that to you, at least I hope it can't. I'd love to try to make sourdough bread, don't quite understand this starter stuff though, only made bread once in my life and it was a long, long time ago!!!
BELINDA, anothe warm
WELCOME TO THE BOARD message for you as well. As I've said, you'll surely find lots of support and encouragment on this board. It amazes me that so many doctors are smart enough to recommend this WOE to their patients, yet these idiots that keep writing stories about how SB is one of these FAD DIETS obviously don't have a clue of how good this WOE is - they need to ask a smart Dr. I do believe. You know this WOE works from your past experiences, now you just have to get into the groove of working for those 20lbs. You can do it, you know that-and we're happy to help you achieve your goal!!!!
RIZZI, please e-mail me if you see this message. Want to touch base with you and help you post on the board more effectively. Also, we are wondering where in FL you are from.
Okay gals, I am out of here and into the shower. I will have to post my TUESDAY TIP later, it's getting late and I have a ton of stuff to do before 2:30 rolls around to get Michael.
PLEASE REMEMBER, TOMORROW IS WEIGH IN WEDNESDAY!!!! Newbies, we post our WIW reports tomorrow, but you can do so at any time. Also, if you'd like, you can also post your numbers below your name, this gives us all an idea of where you started, where you are, and where you are hoping to go!!!
Toodles!

But I will continue this battle and forge on as this woe will be like my old woe, lol!!! I hope to get aquainted with all of you. It's nice to have a commradery in the same "cause"!!! Please check out my "exciting" bio, if you would like. Have a good night all....Ann
Never been there, and as a homeschooling mom, I see a never-ending opportunity to teach history! Anyone from the Boston area, or visited there? I think it's gonna be cool to go there FAT, and come back SLENDER! THAT is my goal!!
