    I am doing wonderful with this lower carb and lower sugar thing.I am full and I have alot more energy .I guess because I am eating things that are healthier for me.WOOOOOHOOOO for this!! I am so excited to see what the next few months bring as far as weight loss I have a feeling I am going to have great results as long as I stick to it

    Ann: Glad your new plan seems to be working! Yay!

    Teresa: I'm happy to hear your mom has been released to go home. I've been thinking about you (Hugs)!

    Cris: Whoa, girl, you are a machine when your mind is in the right place. Did you take your starting measurements for the month so we'll know how many inches you've lost by 2/28? You'll rock the wedding dress and be a hot bride, just like Meokk was! I'll be so jealous if you, Lauren and Meokk get to visit while you're in NY! I even checked to see if those airline vouchers I have would get me there to join you, but Sun Country doesn't fly to NY in March. Boo!

    Melinda: Great job on avoiding the wine after having chips. I know that was a tough one for you.

    Cogirl: Congrats on the new addition to your family. Puggles are so adorable. I'm jealous of everyone having all of these snow days. We don't get those very often here in Minnesota; mostly the schools out in the country get 2 hour delays to give the plows more time to clear roads so the buses can get through. Businesses certainly don't shut down!

    Julie: Yay for having doctor approval to exercise. You should definitely "get your money's worth" from the gym before canceling!

    Lauren: Yum, ribs sound delicious. Now I'm craving some bbq awesomeness!

    Oh and Cris -
    I can't say for sure about the 5th because we'll have family in from outside the country and I might have to do something......
    I'll try to make time for at least a drink........

    Will you be staying over one night?

    Meokk - Yup Hill Country. SO SO GOOD!

    Cris/Meokk - I'm in Harlem (about a 35 min subway ride from Kleinfeld's). There are a few spots really close to my apartment and the subway where we could all meet and then Cris could come "shopping". Would 125th and Lenox/6th work for Meokk?

    Cris, you'll have to come "shopping" in my closet/clothes that no longer fit! You can get a wedding dress AND some new wardrobe!!

    I got a size 24 wedding dress up for grabs. Anyone? Anyone? Bueler? Anyone? Only worn once! :tongue:

    Oh Blue! You're AWESOME! :bigsmile: :laugh:

    My sister's school district (Columbus OH) has the teachers cover half the sub's pay with their own. I'm not sure how it works but it makes them extra careful of the days they use and at the same time they aren't penilized as badly for using them.

    EAST COAST MEET UP!!! I'm not close to NYC but I've been wanting to take Meghan there so if you guys decide to do this, and if it's a weekend - I'm in! I have two weekends thate wont' work, 3/26 and 4/9 otherwise I'll figure something out :bigsmile:

    All of our schools are closed and I'm working from home but so far it's not too bad out. Pretty normal actually and I'm feeling a little guilty for staying home. Meghan pulled on a pair of snow pants and a ski coat and took off for a friend's house.

    I made a frittata for lunch (yum) and I'm working hard to only have one piece! I didn't have any onions so I diced up some cabbage and sautéed it and it acts as a great filler for the onion. I'm a little shocked!:noway:

    Julie - hope that little girl moves for you! My step daughter had twins and one of them (Alex) managed to wedge his foot between two of her ribs. He would pull it out for awhile and then she could feel him poking around with it looking for that neat "nitch" and POP it would go back in and HURT. You could see his little foot! I think my kid would have had a permanent limp if it tried that.:huh:

    checking in for the weekend even though I don't want to .... :mad:
    It was very busy, we were out of town for part of it at our farmhouse in WI ... and I didn't plan very well. It all started Saturday night with a few cheese curds and a sliver of cheesecake - and then once I had gone into the 'forbidden zone' of foods ... all hell broke loose on Sunday and Monday was even worse. My daughter brought a friend to the farm to celebrate her birthday and they wanted to bake cookies and brownies. I've been able to leave sweets alone since starting my new nutrition plan of low sugar and carbs (a lot like you awestfall!), but I couldn't resist hot cookies right out of the oven ... especially when I hadn't brought enough alternative choices for me so I was hungry. And we ate fast food 2 meals too, bad. bad. bad. I got on the scale this morning and it said I had gained back 4 of my 5 pounds lost ... that was disheartening!!!! But I know some is probably water and hopefully will come off fast. I'm trying very hard to get back on track today, so far so good.

    Since I was away from my computer until last night I am starting the challenge today - tracking every day!
