Hi ladies,

First I want to apologize for not writing in such a long time.  I know your all friends who care about me and I just want you to know how much I appreciate that.  I do not know when I might write again as I'm struggling right now.

My dad passed away last month.  I wont go into full details but suffice it to say it was all due 100% to medical neglect.  And I hope and pray no other family has to endure what he and us have had to endure because of a hospital and it's staff is so uncaring.

My mind can't function right now.  I am so depressed and I miss my dad so much.  I just want him back and that isn't possible.  I don't want to be a person who whines or complains.  I am strong and I will over come.  But I do not want to come here and try to put on a smiley face and pretend things are okay with me when they aren't.  I'm not sure when or if I will come back to the forum again.  Maybe sometime in the future.  But I just can't do it right now.

Karen: how are things today?  Are you prepared for the storm?  Looks like it's headed straight your way.  I'll be thinking of you and anxiously waiting to know our okay after this storm passes.

Thanks for the breakfast ideas.  I normally have a 2 egg omelette but here lately they are really hurting my stomach. 

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi everyone.

My weight is up this week-was on holidays for the past week and very relaxed eating. Oh well. Back on track today. So next week will be a better number.

My weight: 201.3

Good Morning! Good Morning!

Day after daughter's 16th birthday with burgers, chips, cake and ice cream! Yikes.. . LOL But I was good.  Only 1/2 whole wheat bun with my burger and 1 very tiny sliver of cake with a teaspoon of ice cream. But it was Good! And I didn't feel like eating anything else the rest of the day.

Weigh in: 198.6  Yesterday on the doctor scale mid morning: 197.6 hmm think I like the doctor scale more and more LOL

chonphansa: it will take a little adjusting with your body-learning what it can handle after all our bodies react differently to different types of carbs.  I cannot eat mozza cheese without alot of water retention yet I can eat cheddar just fine. Go figure.

Denna: yum chinese buffet.  You'll be just fine.  One day does not a lifetime  make.

jsh: I think I can honestly say everyone of us here can so relate to your frustrations.  I have felt it for some time now.  And I forget how much I've already lost and how far I've come.  I want to be THERE today! And one day Today will be here.

Jayne: thinking of you as always.

Karen: how's the weather in lovely St. John's?  We've actually had a full week of sun and warm temps.  Nights tend to be a tad chilly but nothing a jacket wont fend off.

Della

I'm walking.. I'm walking. . LOL

But honestly Karen I'm not expecting too much **edit** tomorrow I meant to say Thursday...  If anything I'm expecting a gain; again.  I'm staying swollen and the scale is not being very kind. But Not giving up.  Some day's I really want to say the heck with it and eat what I wanna.  Why bother your not losing anything anyway.  But I know that is the wrong mind set and I have to rethink and strategize my battle all over again. 

chonophansa: Your a real sweetie I appreciate your kind words and lifting of our spirits.

So how are things with everyone?  We've not heard from some members in quite a while.  Must all be on holidays.

Weigh in 2 days. YIKES

Della

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. 

Jeri: our bodies are on the same wave length.  Mine hates to give an inch. LOL pun intended.

My daily menu:

Breakfast: 2 egg omlette with peppers (1 oz) mushrooms 1 and sprinkling of cheese. Coffee, 1 strip turkey bacon

Midmorning snack: NONE

Lunch: Salad (lettuce from our garden) tomatoes, sprinkling of cheese and olive based salad oil. Coffee

Midday snack: NONE

Dinner: Lean meat and 1/2 sweet potatoe (nuked) with margarine

Evening snack: NONE

So why am I not losing more?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Della

well I'm posting late but oh well

198.5

Congrats Karen: Awesome loss for you.  What is a typical menu for you?

Chonphansa: Way to go for you too! I don't know about the tv dinners as I avoid them due to the sodium content (I'm hyper sensitive to sodium).

Well Jayne: you've managed a loss again.  Your certainly in maintance. Don't want to go too low.

Hi everyone,

Popping in after a bad weekend.  Attended a shed party and ate chips and dip along with a couple of mixed drinks.  Nothing way over board; but noticing the carb bloat for the last two days. 

I've followed pretty much the same guidelines and Karen with adding carbs back into my daily food items.  I also keep a food journal and log everything so plus weigh daily.  I know everyone say's NOT to weigh every day.  But I find it beneficial. Helps me stay on track alot easier.  Plus if I notice my weight going up I can look at my log and see what I ate the day before.

Welcome Denna! Good to have another like minded individual on board.

Chat later

Happy Friday Everyone! How is everyone? 

This thread has become soo quiet.  Is everyone hiding?

Betty: How the weather your way and how are your gardens? I know youv'e been in construction for a whie now.  Sounds like your house is really under going a make over.  It's  Been cold and wet here all week.  But the sun is out and looks like a good weekend.

Cheryl: Jayne: Good to hear from you.  Seems like you've been awfully busy these last few days.  I'm glad your enjoying the gym so much.  I know I would too if we had one in the area.  How's your grandson and daughter doing?  He must be getting awfully big now.  Is he walking already? 

My weight continues to go down.  I'm at an all time low of 196.  I can't believe I've finally gotten below 200!   I really enjoy the SB way living.

Well hope everyone makes the most out of their day and weekend.  We'll be outside working on our shed.  We also have Monday off work for the Civic Holiday.  So construction mode on that day as well.  We have the foundation level and floor joists in place.  Working on the floor this weekend then we'll start the trusses. LOL. Don't I sound professional.  Funny for someone who has NO idea how to make a box. LOL

Anyway, take care everyone.  Chat with you all later.

Della

Good Morning!

It's cloudy and cool today but a promise of sun tomorrow

Weigh in today at 196.0 woot woot!

And Karen way to go! 273 what an awesome number.  You should be so very very proud of yourself!

Jayne: missing you and hoping your having lots of fun!

Karen: Are the capelin landed?  They have been hauling here non stop since Saturday.  Wow, must be some capelin out there.  You should be seeing the whales and puff pigs around all the time now.  Wonder if the squid will be as plentiful.  Are you going out jigging for your cod? Do you like cod?  I love it! It's one tasty fish.

Yeah, I wont get overly concerned over the scale yet.  Not unless the numbers don't go down.   I'm in perimenopause and it has everything all fooled up with my hormones and such.

Wonder what Ms Jayne is doing these days?

Well chat with  you later.

Della

Sure does sound delish! Can't wait to try it.

thanks for sharing

Rachel: you'll be back on track in no time at all.

Hi, I'm popping in to update my weight.  And Please can you change my signin name from nanomoss to nanamoss. 

We've been so busy at work and at home till I've had no chance to log in to update anything. 

Karen: No capelin this way that I'm aware of.  Our weather has NOT been nice.  We've not broken 12 all week.  Overcast, dreary and cold! The wind is cold enough you need a coat or heavy sweater just to work outside.  My poor gardens are showing the effects of the chilly wet weather.  Aside that.  What an awesome weigh in for you!  ***HIGH FIVES****

My weight today: 197.7

Della

Hi Popping in to wish everyone a good week!  Lots of happy thoughts go your way!  Lots of pounds down and out and good feelings and happy feet IN!

Jayne:  Have tons of fun-we'll be here waiting to pounce the moment your feet hit the Southbeach Floor.  Go easy on poor Leonard. . after all he's just a vulcan/man and still given into his impulses.

Pam:  Yes, please share the recipe.  My family and I love meat loaf!

Sarah: I have not had red velvet cake since I was a child.  My mother use to make it for my brother's birthday-cause it's his favorite.  She used 7 minute frosting as well.  My darling mother passed away 3 years ago so thanks for bringing this lovely memory to mind today.  You've given me a bright spot and a happy thought.

I'm not much of a swimmer either.  And as cold as it's been here lately I wouldn't go for a dip even if it meant I'd lose 5 pounds instantly. . well now let me think on that one a bit more. . . .

Weekend was good-wet, cold but good.  We leveled the ground for our shed and got some of the lumber needed to begin our shed.  This week is construction mode in earnest.  This should be a great calorie burning project.  Healthy eating all weekend.  Bought chocolate chip cookies for the kids and wanted/want one soo badly.  But have not caved.  Looking forward to weigh in this week as I'm hoping for a really good number.

Chat later.
