Thread: Where are my veterans?

I have been MIA! Life is busy with 2 little ones, full time job and making time for me to go to the gym! I wanted to touch base and see if any of the "oldy but goodies" are still around. I have posted here off and on since 01/01/02.

Zip2play - Roger?
Jrjardio - I believe she had a baby.
Lynn - Marcy?
Brenda?
Mick?


countless others that I simply cannot think of right now! B/c I am BLOND! Actually, I am not, but I can use it for my excuse, can't I??

I have held steady for over 2 1/2 years at my 40 pound weight loss. STILL would love to lose another 10 and STILL am unable to motivate enough to do it! LOL

Hi Monica! Sheesh you are busy woman! Not much new here~still fighting a few extra pounds. I read on and off but don't post much.
It's really good to read ya!

How about MEG or Terese?

Happy Holidays Monica!

You too girl! don't eat anything I wouldn't eat...that leaves you WIDE open!

LOL

Long lost vet checking in. I have been through my usual Autmn weight gain phase. For some reason I seem to lose all motivation to be lean and mean. All I want is to eat everything I have been denying myself all year. And this year was no exception.
No use feeling bad or beating myself up. I"m dusting myself off and will hop back in the saddle this weekend. Looking forward to being a loser again. It's nice to see some the old gang still on there pluggin'.

Hey, Gregg.

Nice to see you again!

Hi Mags!
Thanks for the howdy! You are such a rock. And you do rock! WTG maintaining so well!

Gregg! It's nice to have you back!

If that happens every year, perhaps you have some mild version of Seasonal Affective Disorder? Carb cravings is one of the symptoms according to MedlinePlus (National Institute of Health): http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/...icle/001532.htm

My sister and I both seem to fit at least part of the profile for SAD. Well, anyway we are past the winter solistice, so days are already getting longer! Paperwhite daffodils are already blooming here, so spring is on its way!

Gregg! How good to see you!! I've missed your posts.

Yeah, for some reason that link was funky. You can just type "seasonal affective disorder" in the Search box at the National Library of Medicine site. Or, here's another stab at copy/pasting it: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/e...cle/001532.htm

Symptoms
Depression with a fall or winter onset
Lack of energy
Decreased interest in work or significant activities
Increased appetite with weight gain
Carbohydrate cravings
Increased sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness
Social withdrawal
Afternoon slumps with decreased energy and concentration
Slow, sluggish, lethargic movement

Here's a link to a thread in Everything Else that covers SAD: http://www.lowcarbeating.com/bb/show...ctive+disorder
