Tuesday
 

Hi Everyone,

It's a beautiful day here. It's still hot, but there is a feeling of fall in the air. Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the colors of fall and would love to be up in the mountains somewhere. The pumpkins are beginning to be on display, and Halloween is just around the corner.

Welcome Jina.

Sherri....Dr. Phil covered his first key "Right Thinking" on his show last night. I feel that there isn't anything that I can add to that. He will probably have more on it tonight as he didn't interview all the participants last night. Next week, will be the second key, "Healing Feelings", (unlock the door to emotional control). That should be a good one too.

Summer......How are you doing this week? Good luck at weigh-in tomorrow. What is autumn like in Colorado. I think we were out there one year, about Sept., and the Aspen were turning golden, but we drove up on the national park and it snowed while we were up there.

Coco....Miss you girl. Hope your are doing okay. Good luck at weigh in tonight.

Wanda, How are you? You said in one of your post that you had been ill. Are you feeling better? Let us know how you are.

Eleni, Wendy, Christie, Geri and anyone that I missed, I hope that you are all having a good OP week, and that the scale is good to you this week.

Ladean.....You and I are going to have to get back to staying in the black again. Have a good week.

Better get going, the vacuum cleaner is waiting on me. I finally got the last paint on the bathroom wall yesterday. Now I just have to do the cleanup. I plan on making some cabbage/veggie soup for dinner tonight. Perhaps that will help me have a loss this week. I guess that I have been ramblin on too much. :blah: :blah:

Nita

Oh my gawd!!

It's 79 degrees out:D
Indian summer is here :D :D
Do I seem excited???
It's been in the 50's here for about a week :(
I'm not ready for cold weather yet :cool: :cool: :cool:
Yippie - we're going out to play tonight when I get home from work.

So far OP for today! Took out chicken breast to grill tonight and have fresh broccoli to cook. yummmmmmmm!

Hope everyone else is having a great day!

Hello to all, I am still doing good. Not much news. Sounds like a lot are doing good. If you are struggling just remember we know how you feel. Don't give up. I just stopped to say hello. I think I will go sit with my sweetie and watch some TV

Nita,

I don't get a chance to watch dr phil so I miss all the good talks. I can't set the VCR because megan watches the TV sometimes after school and if she turns on the tv it would stop the tape. I have to get over to the book thread and see what others have to say about it. Maybe something they say will help motivate me as well.
I think you are doing great. It was warm here today 63 for a high. I wish I were down there with you and eleni keeping warm. I freeze everyday at work it is so cold in the mornings. My heater blew up at work yesterday knocking out the computers and the electric and kicked the breaker. So I have no more heat.LOL

Geri,

That is great that it is so warm. Take advantage of it and get out there with the kids and have fun. Sounds like you have found a plan for yourself. Do you like the Atkins? I am sure that the carbs are making you hungry. When you get them out of your system you won't be as hungry. All white carbs turn to sugar and make us hungry that is why the whole wheat carbs are better and they have more fiber so you stay fuller longer. Good luck with the Atkins let us know how you are doing.

Eleni,

You still on plan? Sounds like you are still upbeat. Way to go.

Jina, Penny, Wendy, Christie, Summer, Coco how are you all doing? Haven't heard from you. Summer and coco you have weigh in tomorrow let us know how it goes. If you are struggling come here and let us help.

As for me I did great today. I was on the road again today. I was right by the office in the morning and I took the new girl out with me to see if it is something she would like to do. So that allowed me to make my grilled cheese sandwich before I headed out in the afternoon. So I ended the day with 28 pts. Right on track once again. Things going well here. I had a lot of energy tonight when I got home. Did a lot around the house (cleaning and laundry) it needed it. Didn't get any done over the weekend.

Well I am off for the night. You all have a great night I will check back in the morning. The scale was down 1 lb this morning by the way. So that made my day.

Sherri

Hi Everyone! Welcome :) New Faces!

I know I have not been around lately but things are CRAZY:dizzy: (esp. me :))

Geri,

How long have you been doing Atkins? Hope you are doing great with it!

Myself, I was never crazy about Atkins b/c I hated the way they limited your carb intake. But my cousin lost 60 pounds on it and has been maintaining for over a year now. She had tried ever diet, ww, and pill she could take... but now she looks great. Anyhow, I decided night before last that I would give it a try. I was on it all day yesterday and today and my scale is now down 4.5 pounds :D I am very excited. I have been going to ww but I just can't keep myself into the routine of keeping points. I paid my membership up for 10 weeks so I will just go weigh in until my membership is over. I had managed to creep back up to 180 again and now my scale is down to 175.5! It is about time it starts really moving!

Sherri,
I am glad you are still doing so well. When is your next dr. appt? Congrats on staying on plan. YOu are doing great!
;)

Eleni,
I am so glad you are doing so well. You sound like you have high spirits. That is what we need to succeed! ;)

Coco,
Hope you are doing well, Good luck tonight! :)

Summer,
Where are you girl! MIA just like me.... Take care Let us know how you do at weigh in :)

Nita,
We must be thinking alike. I have been in the painted mood also. What color paint did you do in your bathroom?

Wendy,
Where are you girl? Are you staying on track :) I hope so!

Ladean,
Hope you are doing well ;)

I will check in tomorrow :) Take care Penny

Hello again,
Oh, it was a beautiful evening!! Hope it gets up your way Sherri! It's supposed to be nice here all week ... till Saturday of course, so have to take advantage.
Hi Penny!
I'm not on Atkins ... currently WW 123 also. Not a current member because I'm too cheap!! I too haven't been keeping track of my points at all lately except today. Finished with 29. I'm looking into South Beach though. Don't know if I will try it or not. Maybe it would give my metabolism a boost to try something different for a while. Sounds like you're doing great with the Atkins so far.

I stick to the high fiber/whole grain breads, wheat pasta whenever possible. Natural Ovens breads/bagels are my fav and they're made here in WI.
Should go get the house straightened up and to bed! Good night all.

Sorry Geri,
I will have to KICK :rollpin: Sherri in the butt. I was following her thread. :) Love ya' Sherri

Well I am glad you are doing so well on WW. It is a good plan if you can count everyday. I can't ever find the time with all the kids running around.

I have three children of my own, (4,3,&4mo.) I keep a 9mo old, 8 mo old and I just got a new daycare kid. It is a girl 13 mo. ! :) Finally a girl! It is about time...... lol
