Welcome Teckla! ( moves over on the couch to make room for another friend ) Glad you could join our group, cuz we sure can use another person around to organize the big party we're gonna have when we all reach goal!

Bonnie, yes, yes, yes we've been to the Carolina's! Myrtle Beach, Asheville (Biltmore..drool ) last year, and down to South Carolina again this year ( Can I tell you how much I love Charleston? ) And yes, I adore the mountains, there's something that touches my soul with peace whenever I'm there. And the convenience of both the mountains and the ocean, coupled with the mild seasons, are the very reasons we're considering leaving everything we know up here. We love to hike, bike, fish and need greenspace (parks etc)...so we're looking for areas with these in mind. Just have to find the area that suites us best. Not an easy task with such a beautiful state. Oh, and jobs too...minor detail! lol

Well, this year is busy, busy, busy for us. Many milestones. Youngest is graduating in May, oldest is marrying in June and I turn 50 in September. Many parties, celebrations and good times ahead. MUST be ready for them all...including that bathing suit when we head down to the Carolina's in July. Down 15 so far...keeping my eye on the "brass ring" and continue to move forward, despite my fear that progress will all end tomorrow...

Hi Teckla... so glad you wandered around to the right place. :) Welcome

Hi Girls
 

It's great to see so many pounds going Bye Bye!!:wave:

Those on a plateau, hang in there, the pounds will
soon begin dropping again.;)

I've got a challenge Saturday night as the family is doing
Mexican for an anniversary celebration. Beans, rice,
tortillas & chips, all bad on a low carb regimen.:(
I can deal with it, but watching as everyone else
gobbles them up is tough.
Then next week I'm off to Reno for a break,
I've got cabin fever.
I'll be very happy if I can maintain for the next week.

I'll try and post again before heading to Reno.
All you girls keep up the good work while I'm gone.:carrot:

Reggie:coffee:

Hugs :hug: to all the Chickies!! And a big :welcome3: to our new chickies here on this thread!! (I'll name names in another post - in a rush this morning, but just wanted to say "hi!")


I've been on Atkins Induction since Feb. 01, but had a stall a couple weeks ago. In Feb. I weighed myself every Monday. For March, and because of the stall, I decided to weigh more frequently - Mondays and Thursdays - so I could see if anything I was doing was causing the weight slow-down. :?: :?:


(OTHER than having to go off my thyroid meds for an upcoming test and injuring my achilles tendon, so no cardio for time being - ack!!)


LONG, BORING story made short (finally!!): I lost another 2 pounds this morning when I weighed myself - yea!! I had also lost 1 pound when I weighed in this Monday, so hopefully I can keep at least the total of 3 pounds off for my weigh in this coming Monday. :cloud9:


Hope it continues to be a good week for all.

Welcome, Teckla. Glad you found us again. I'll try to figure out how to post a direct link when I do the new thread for April. Wouldn't want to lose you again. ;)

Hey gals,I gotta go,our local boy's basketball team is playing at the State Finals right now,need to see if I can find it on the radio.Have a great day.

Hey Bonnie!

We're in Ohio ( brrrr ) and are planning to be in the Myrtle Beach area this summer. Of course, that includes another trip to Charleston! We just didn't get to spend enough time there! The only restaurant I recall was Hyman's. It was highly recommended. But in a few short days we got to walk thru the slave market, take a walking ghost tour, and see all the beautiful, charming and historical old houses.

Can't wait to get back! Can't wait to figure out where we'll end up! lol

hi
 

Good morning everyone,

And a big:welcome3: to all the new ladies that found us. Glad to see you! Looking forward to getting to know you!

And to all you that have lost weight :cheer: Keep up the good work! And there is no such thing as "just one pound". It's "YEAH, another pound".

Sorry this is short and sweet, but I posted yesterday and my post just wouldn't go through! And I tried twice. Very annoying! So, i'm hoping this reaches the right destination.

Just wanted to welcome back the ones that got lost! So glad you found your way back!

Have a good day, Freda

You are soooooo right, Freda! Every pound gone is a BIG pound and another step to victory!!! :cp:

Great to see you all, gang. :wave:

:kickcan: I'm feeling a little like our weather today . . .rainy and dull. I honestly think I've got a little case of SAD. I start feeling this way every year about this time. Even though this has not been a bad winter, I am very sick of it. At least the days are getting longer and that's a good sign that things will soon be looking up.

I'm trying to stay ahead of the "binge:devil:" I feel sneaking up on me. Drinking extra water in the hopes that If I gurgle loudly enough when I walk, it will frighten him off. Here's a little extra :dust: :dust: to help us all through the rest of the day . . . I know I need it. :D

Hang in there, everybody. If we keep on doing the right things, we will reap the rewards. See you tomorrow. :carrot:

Weather is trying to live up to the "march winds" thing today. No strange things blowing past the windows but it sounds pretty wild out there.

Don't know where anybody is, but thought I'd pull this back onto page one so you could find it more easily.

Helloooo Chicks & Reggie!

Reggie...Mexican food will be calling your name tonite...stick to the Fahitas and you'll be OK!!

Had THE BEST day yesterday! It was 85 & :sunny:. HH played hooky since it was his 59th birthday and we burned up Daytona! Went with our HOG group...about 35 bikes. Our good friends rode too, as well as our son & grandson. Grandson thought he was going to school, then son told him to hop on the bike instead, "We're going to Daytona BikeWeek for the Day!". You should've seen him with the Daytona T & A. (He's 14.) It was hilarious!! Went to the Harley Exibition & sat on some awesome bikes. Almost made me want my own! But really...HH and I have waaaaay too much fun riding together & I'd miss that tooooo much. Had a great ride over & back...then we Birthday bar-hopped locally til midnight. We're usually in bed by 9, so this was really a reach for us! :lol: I was pretty good...probably had too many drinkies thru-out the day, but stuck to my eating plan as well as I could. Also did my Gazelle before we left yesterday morning. I'll be spending double-time on it today!!:tread: Cayman trip is coming up NEXT Saturday! :beach:

Sounds like everyone here had a good Friday too. I hope ya'll have a wonderful weekend :) !

PS~~I got in my Size 12 Jeans and they felt pretty darn good!!

Hi Everyone,
