11/29 Roll Call and Goals

Dixie, Hi! Okay, when I first saw your pukey symbol in your post, I thought that YOU got sick during Thanksgiving. I'm glad to hear that you weren't sick, but grossed out by the bug thing. I think it would be a while before eating sweet potatoes again for me. How are the scales looking these days? I am still having probs with the snacking, but don't believe that they are keeping me from losing weight. Gosh, I weighed Friday morning at 190.5 and then again yesterday at 5:15 p.m. and was 194 again. What??????? I couldn't have gained that much weight - didn't snack that much. Could it have been the difference between the morning and evening? How about being constipated? I'm fishing now because I can't accept that I may have gained weight. Am going to stay off the scales till end of the week to see how I do. (Oh, I wish that I would have never started to weigh at the gym, but, obviously, I do.) Okay, Dr. Dixie Fix-It, remember that the coffee does NOT count as fluids if it has caffein, (in my understanding) because caffein is a diuretic and does not hydrate you. If I am wrong, please, someone, correct me, because I will start drinking coffee all day - carmel truffle flavor - yummy! Are you coming over with everyone else to decorate my house? LOL I might get it done (inside only) before Christmas... God bless and good luck with goals, Andrea

Morning All Now what I want to know is this 190 week?? I'm also bouncing between 190-192!!! Seems like my fellow sisters & I really have something in common Drink more water Get in more protein Get into 180's!!!! Thanksgiving was quiet here, Katie was at her dad's for the holidays, my dad went to some friends so I finished painting, hung curtains & pictures. THEN I got my Xmas decorations & tree up. So kept quite busy Andrea, I love my sunflower seeds! It has helped me cut back on smoking alot. Trade one evil for another I guess I finished my shopping in Oct so just need to wrap the presents. Everyone have a good week Carolyn

Okay, Carolyn, here's to the 190's club!!! You, Dixie and I WILL make it under that number, I know we will! Great goals this week. Heck, I just read Dixie's post about coffee and I'll be drinking away soon!! May start having more than just my one cup a day. You have painted and got decorations and a tree up??? Wow - ANd, you even have finished shopping!?@?@? Not going to happen here for a while. Hope to get the tree up tonight. I will give the sunflower seeds a shot tonight. Can't say that it helps with smoking, cuz haven't had a cig in over a year (had to quit for surgery). Have a great week and God bless, Andrea

You can unload on us anytime you want Heavan knows I do it enought to you!!! I am going to exercise this week!!! Plus when I went grocery shopping last night I got a lot of high protein foods to eat....and of course pills and fluids!!!! My house is decorated inside and out.....but I need to wrap some presents to get under the tree......On Sunday we went to the xmas tree farm and cut down our own......It was fun!!! I feel your pain about he whole screwing up part.....it is just so easy to snack, especailly when carbs go down so easy Thats why I loaded up on protein and if I need a snack...nothing but protein will pass my lips!!! Take Care and everyone have a great week! Jesi Another goal~get xmas cards in the mail!!!

Hey, Jesi, thanks for the ear. How is your week going? High protein foods sound good - and exercising. I hope that you get your new eliptical machine. I saw the pics of your house and it sure looks nice. Can't believe that you have presents to wrap - I hardly have any presents bought!!! We got the tree up, but not decorated. How was your date with your hubby? Hope all went well and that you enjoyed your time. I'm going to work on protein too. Also have learned that the soy crisps are a red light food for me. I CAN'T control myself with them. Hope your week goes well. Talk to you soon, Andrea
