Okay Kari this one's for you!
My sisters and I seem to have slacked in our new blog!!
Busy with life, busy with family and well weight loss sometimes takes the absolute last spot on our list of priorities. I cannot speak for my sisters but I had a spell there where I was stuck at the same number on the scale - can you say aggrevating!!! I have seemed to make a break through and am now down 16 lbs. from when I started this low carb thing.
Weekends are killer for me. Fridays are pizza night for our family and I LOVE a good pizza. I have been having my hubby make hot wings for me on Fridays and that has seemed to take care of my craving for pizza. He makes some awesome wings!
Alright sisters ~ time for you to post. I know you are both having your own struggles so post em! Let us know what you are up to!!
Have a wonderful weekend. Tomorrow is friday so you know I'll be having wings and not pizza.
Blessings,
Sandy

Down 13lbs!
Thanks for the push Kari - it is about time we posted! Way to go on the 41+ weight loss girlfriend!! Keep up the awesome job!
I have been doing really good on the eating front but haven't had much time to exercise lately!
I spent $230 on a 6 month gym membership and it expires in October and I have to say I haven't gotten my monies worth - my fault not the gyms! I have decided that at the end of the time period I will spend my money elsewhere and join this center that offers water aerobics instead. My friend Barb has been going up to 5 days and week and has gotten me excited about joining there. I have a treadmill in my house but with the amount of other things I have going on I haven't had the chance to jump on it either which is a shame.
I am down 13 lbs. from when I started this journey again on the low carb way of life. I am down 21 lbs. from Jan. 07 which I know was a long time ago but I think it's awesome that I'm down that much since then.
I have to say my biggest struggle - other than not making exercise a daily priority is my head hunger issues. I have tackled most of it but I have craved and wanted key lime pie now for almost 2 months. I think I will break down and have a piece when I hit 20lbs lost to give myself a treat! and then get back on program.
Okay, sisters - time for a post!! Get with it ~ good or bad!!
Have an outstanding day and LOVE yourself - we beat ourselves up way too much and I think that leads to a lot of weight issues!!!
Have an outstanding day!

YIPPEE....One Week down
I have been eating the low carb diet for 1 week now and I am down 7. I am so excited that it has actually worked. For a while there, I felt bad but I think I might have jumped that hurdle. My sis was right, I don't think about what I am going to eat anymore as I am usually full and satisfied when I do eat. Sometimes, I have to remind myself to eat which is not a usual task I am accustomed to. I am usually the one that watches the clock....Is it 1200 yet so I can eat lunch. By 1000 I am usually planning on what I am going to have for Lunch and my 200 I am usually planning and salivating on what I am going to have for Dinner. That is not what I am doing now. Alot of the time now, I have to remind myself to prepare for dinner by deciding what we are going to have so that I have stuff thawed out. The reason is because I am no longer feeling hungry or deprived.
Thank you to all my supporters, Sandy, Mom, Linda, everyone!
Love you all!

Sandy's Update ~
YIPPEE!! I have to say I'm loving this feeling of eating and feeling full without over eating. I have been on the low carb thing now for 10 days and have lost 9 lbs. My hubby has been on it for 8 days and is down 8lbs. I'm sure he'll pass me on the lbs. soon as most men do. I have to actually make myself eat because I'm usually not hungry. I've gotten over the head hunger which is awesome - actually the Healthy Chocolate that I take has helped with that because it curbs your appetite for sweets. I cannot say that I've missed anything ~ I thought for sure it would be the bread that I absolutely love to eat or pasta but so far I've not missed a thing.
I feel so much better as well - that roller coaster ride I was on daily has all but gone. The ups and downs because I had too much sugar or not enough and now my main goal is to tackle the caffeine in my system. I started drinking way too many sodas again and have to get on top of that.
Well, hope you have a great weekend. Tuesday is my weigh in day so I'll update then!

2nd Day is Over!
Well, I lasted two days with all but 20 grams of carbs each day. Today was tough as I was home all day and wanted to eat everything because my head said so. But I will tell you my body was not hungry. I decided to use this mind trick, everytime my head said "Go ahead and get the pop tarts you want" I would take a drink of water. Therefore, needless to say, My eyeballs have been floating all day and my bladder is getting a big work out.
Sandy said that it was important to drink water, so why not battle the inner thoughts and mind with what it needs most water to flush out the system. Sandy is also right, I am not hungry. I ate an omlet for breakfast. I had chicken salad on lettuce for lunch and dinner. It was good and filling.
Well, I must go. Need to get some rest to keep up with my beautiful 3 year old son Andrew. Plus I have to get up early and get my beautiful daughter Hannah off to school. Have a great weekend.

OK OK
I am 3 weeks out from surgery so I am going to take my sisters lead and start the low carb diet tomorrow.
I had started cutting back on carbs but now I am going to go all out and quit. As it has helped her feel better with more energy...I am hoping to have the same result.
Wish me luck.

HOORAY!
Okay, so after my last post I did some real soul searching and really thought about how I was eating and what I was eating. I know that I am addicted to sweets and carbs and although those are the things that I LOVE to eat those are the things that make me feel like I'm on a roller coaster all day. I decided that I would eat a low carb diet and my hubby has joined me so we are able to support each other daily with detoxing our bodies from carbs. YES, I said detoxing because we are both addicted to carbs. I could eat pasta and bread all day every day and cakes, pies, and donuts oh my all day as well. I was always hungry on the Weight Watchers plan and although I know I probably could have eaten more things to make it work better it just didn't work for me - for the 3rd time. So...
I started last Monday - sensible eating but low carb ~ a week ago and I feel incredible!!! I started last Monday weighing the same thing I did on May 30th when I joined Weight Watchers and the entire time I was on WW from May 30th until last Monday I lost and gained and lost and gained and lost 6 lbs. I weighed this morning and am down 8 lbs. I have more energy and haven't felt like I've been on a roller coaster either.
TODAY I am celebrating my 18th Anniversary with my husband and looking at the wedding pictures gives me even more encouragement to get this weight off! By my 20th Anniversary I'd like to be down to my pre-wedding weight and maintained it as well!!
Hope you have a fabulous week!!
