NEW TO CSD

[TRINI]

[angela]

Hey Trini,
Glad you feel good enough to go back to work. As far as the reference to Dolly Parton, I am not quite the cartoon character...maybe after Atkins. Seriously, I do tend to crack myself up. I can watch an entire Jim Carey movie and barely crack a smile(actually I am usually annoyed...but some things just tickle my fancy). When you described yourself the other night, I kept remembering my neighbor who had gastric bypass and loss 112 lbs. She still journals...Well she is always describing the end result and praying for cosmetic surgery... She looks GREAT in clothes though. She does worry that she has affected her teenage daughters though.

Trini, do not beat yourself up. Personally, I admire how far you have come and how much you have been able to maintain since starting CSD. People are following your posts. GIRL YOU ROCK!!!!!! That should put your butt in gear. But seriously, I think you are doing great. Our time for CSD is nearing an end. It is time to tone and build muscle and endurance and see if there is any hope for certain body parts. Lord have Mercy! WE CAN DO IT! This diet and forum have really aided our cause( of course to become skinny minnies) Ha Ha! Seriously. I admire the length of time you have committed and endured.

Post your weight and be honest. I promise you will get tons of encouragement. I think last week, I gained more weight in 2 days of obvious carbs than I did with all my partying. Go Figure...

Anubha...AWESOME.

Ben...keep going.

Everyone... continued success with CSD and/or maintenance plan!

Hey all just wanna tell you how good i feel to have jumpstarted the weight loss wagon.
You knwo you think all the while and then you excercise/diet on and off and the damn pounds just don't go away.
But this forum has provided to all of us the right ingredient - motivation and support (without which i guess nothing can happen ).
I have strated atkins from day before yesterday and guess what I lost 1/2 pound
Will keep you all posted and till then happy dieting .

Hi All, I am checking in. This week I am just eating healthy not doing the CSD all the way.
Trini the idea of starting Atkins at the beginning of the year is looking pretty good to me.
I will be busy at work till about middle of January so I am going to start reading up on Atkins in the evening when I get home from work so I will be ready to start then. In the meantime till then I am going to do my best to eat the CSD way. And just be more aware of what is good to eat.
HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!

Hi Everyone welcome from the Great White North just thought I 'd share my weather and my weight so you all can realize how crazy we are to live up here....

14 F (very nice) until you factor in a 20 mile an hour wind (I had to pull up a conversion chart as we use metric that was alot of work, don't ask why we're not even sure )
And my weight is drum roll pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeaaaaaaasssssseeeeee YEAH another 1.5 pounds down it is so exciting to keep on losing....

Thanks for your encouragement Ben what plan are you right now and how is your loss going?

And Trini I am "Doin" fine girlfriend !!!! Other than that visitor hasn't left and my motivation hasn't arrived yet I am hoping that they will swap places soon! I think I will start watching the Biggest Loser to see how others find that motivation I haven't watched it before have any of you seen X- Weighted that one is good and there is another but I can't remember the name right now...

Anubha you are kicking some serious poundage keep up the good work but don't be discourged when it slows which it will do unfortunaletly, just keep on doing what your doing it seems to be working quite well for you.

Angela you are so right about Trini's dedication and amazing sucess over the past 7-8 months but remember that you as well need a pat on the back it's because of you two that I stuck it out and well continue, Thanks Again both of you

ITS GREAT HOW WE ARE HAPPY HERE FOR EACH OTHERS LOSSES INSTEAD OF BEING JEALOUS IT IS A MOTIVATOR TO CONTINUE WAY TO GO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Helen I have a friend here who religiously rides her bike at least once a month during the year, rain or shine snow or ice, +30 to -47 (was the coldest) you riders are a different breed I tell ya!!!!

Talk to you all tomorrow unless something tickles my fancy before ....bye for now

Kelley I have watched that show X-WEIGHTED with the trainer PAUL!!! To me he is hot!!! Also, I am still new to riding a motorcycle. This was something I wanted for a long. Here in NW IL the weather this weekend will be in the 60's. I think I will not run if the weather gets below 50's that is too cold for me!
Trini we don't get tricker treater where we live, it is farmland. So we have no candy at home but at work tons of it!!
Angela I hope your party goes well.

Hey Everyone!

I was so busy yesterday. Left the house at 6:15AM for and early meeting and did not return home until after 7PM. I did not even open up my laptop yesterday. Today I am working a partial day and then off to get the remaining party supplies.

Trini..This weekend in November is usually one of the best weekends(weatherwise...cool and sunny) soooo....we usually have a party(this one is getting kind of big) RSVP's total 48. We have a nice deck and backyard to aid the overflow of people throughout the house)/ I am stabilizing between 140.2-138.5 this week. I think I will be so busy greeting and mingling with guests that I probably wont each much(that typically happens) but the wine will be a different story. I AM NOT COUNTING GLASSES OF WINE THIS SATURDAY. Lately I have been limiting myself to one if socializing. I think I always surprise Trini with my counting. Your mental image cracks me up. Remember I am originally a midwest girl...of course I have been here (in the south) close to 29 years.

Trini 161 is not far from 159 you can get back in the 150's easily with your knowlege.

Anubha. You are doing awesome...I cannot wait to start you know what!

Kelley keep up the good work and try to stay warm

Sorry if I missed anything...I was just trying to post before I lost my mind with the party.

Thanks for all the wishes on a successful party.
I did not even read what I just typed. I hope it makes sense. I will post again on Sunday PM. Recuperation period!
