Congrats!! You're almost there!! I've not done well at all, with all the office parties and such, and have gone up 3 pounds since I last posted. I am having
a helluva time getting back on track. Every time I get to within one pound,
I blow it. I need Santa to bring me a big bag of motivation!!

Well, it was a disastrous 2 weeks for me. Totally blew any semblance of self-control and gained 6 lbs as a result, which just showed up ALL AT ONCE when I weighed on Monday. I shouldn't have been surprised, as I could already see and feel a difference in how my clothes fit a bit more snugger than before. It took seeing
that much of a jump on the scale to get me back to business as of January 1.

I hope you guys have a happy, healthy and successful 2007!!! Let's all get to Onederland this time!!!

Well said, Calico!

Megan, let's quit all this messing around and do this....me, you, Calico, and anyone else who needs to get over that wall! You and I have been back and forth.....me at 219, you at 209, me at 204, you at 227, me at 208, you at 211. It's just been crazy! One of us is up, the other down. Let's just get it done already!

One of my many resolutions is to try to spend more time here, gathering some inspiration and encouragement. I miss you all!

I'm gonna weigh in the morning and try not to cry. I predict being in the mid-220's. :( I was down to 204 in the first quarter of 2006. My doctor was happy. I have to go back for my "annual" sometime in March...so I have my work cut out for me. I don't want to hear him gripe! LOL!

Actually, I want to do this for me. And I'm going to. I went grocery shopping today. I will prepare meals that are lowcarb and healthy. If my husband or daughter want any garbage to eat, they are certainly welcome to eat it outside our home. Too bad, so sad....don't bring it in my house. I have to have a clean environment. Dr.Phil said so!

Mrs. D, so glad you chose to join us. I am so happy to be back in the two-teens again, rather than being in the 220's....but still mad at myself for letting myself gain 20 pounds.

5 pounds in 4 days is good, I just hope I can keep up the pace. Take care, all!

Hi and welcome, Mrs. D!

I lost 4 lbs last week, which isn't that bad considering I struggled
a few days and ate more (LC foods) than I really should. Still, I
resisted sweets temptations, which wasn't easy but I know will get
easier if I keep with it. It will also help me that a couple of my
friends from work are also getting back on board with LC/South
Beach, so we can support each other there.

How is everyone else doing so far?

Ah! I'm pretty thrilled with the sight on the scale this morning... 221.... that's 7 lbs in 7 days!

I've been pretty strict with my LC and going to the gym.

Hey, Calico and Mrs. D! ...in a little emotional meltdown, made myself a pb & j sandwich on (horrors!) white bread. Granted, it was s/f pb, and s/f jelly, but the bread was the awful fake processed kind. Then the dog and I had a few saltines later....when my stomach was being ugly.

Needless to say....carb bloat. No worries. I had a great day today with food, and my digestion is back on track so I hope to see the 2 lbs. gone soon. Mrs. D and I are headed down to the under 200 mark neck and neck!

Maybe I should add a tag line to my siggy, too.... WOW....that doesn't seem like that much, does it? DUH! The line starts here: to slap me!

Oh, well. Time to move on. I'm gonna try to get my butt out of bed in the morning and do SOME exercise.

Megan, are you there Sweetie?

Don't worry Maxibee, we'll be there in no time... and 220 will be a faint memory!

I'm proud of you, you are allowed to struggle, but just get right back on. Somedays is a PBnJ Sandwich day... I've just changed my white bread out for a one minute muffin cut in half. It's delicious!

Hi all- I'm back and ready to commit. Unfortunately I'm 20 lbs further from 199 than I was when I got lost. No worries, though. Still 10 lbs away from my highest weight ever and I have already proven to myself that this WOE works. It's my discipline and committment that need work.

Hope everyone is doing good. I missed you.
Angie

Thought I'd check in here again. Still plugging away, but not to 199 yet. Really want to get there before my next Dr. appointment... would like to not have to move the bar over to the 200 mark when I get weighed!
