Hi from a new Texan

[TejanaCJ]

Hello all,

I just bought a house and moved to San Antonio/Live Oak from Michigan (40 years in Kalamazoo and then Ann Arbor) to California in North County San Diego and now Texas for the last 18 months. So nice to live within my means. California was killing my finances. Glad to see so many low carbers from my new home state.

PS That cute kitten avator of mine is now a Texas sized cat at 22 pounds and he is 8 inches longer than my others and about 4 inches higher, too. Yeeehah!

[bob2112]

Glad to have you onboard!! That's one big cat.....RAWR :)

[sargeswife]

Welcome fellow Texan!! I love SA - our party town!!

[witchiejen]

Welcome from a life-long Texan. I just moved to Austin after living in the Rio Grande Valley for most of my life.

[anabolina]

Well welcome. I do love the San Antonio area, going down there was the weekend it my reward to myself for getting to my goal weight.

[shaeintx]

Welcome from one texan to another. Best wishes.

[anness]

Just wanted to join and give a shout out to my fellow Texans out there in LC land. I live in Houston, though born in Laredo, and have been LCing since May 30, 2007. It's a slow go, but so far have lost 16 lbs. and 51 to go. :wave:

[Kaylee]

Nice to see so many fellow Texans here!

Hook'em 'Horns!!!

[MorganMac]

Hi from yet another Texan! If this wasn't such a big state.. a Texas ALC BBQ would be great.. shame its like a 2 day drive from end to end! lol (I'm originally from CT, where it's only a 1 hour drive clear across the entire state, hehe)

[txjewel]

Wow - this is awesome. A Texas thread!!!!! Glad to meet all my fellow Texans. I live in Wichita Falls which is 8 miles from the Oklahoma border. This is the start of my 6th day on Atkins and doing great so far. We went out to dinner with friends last night and I am so proud - I resisted the beer (which I love) chips & dip and the bread and butter they served. Stuck to my lc food and felt live I had climbed that mountain by resisting!!!!!!

I have lived on this site since joining. So inspirational and educational.

Look forwar to chatting with you all!

Julie

[Jarrod]

Welcome C-Val and TxJewel ! We hope your stay here is
healthy and happy and brings great results... there are so
many supportive and helpful people here..... ! good luck
with you journey's !!
Jarrod

[txjewel]

Fellow Texans,

How do you get over drinking iced tea? It is my understanding that the cafeine triggers cravings. Today is just the 7th day of my commitment to lc, but I am having a problem giving up my tea. I use splenda in my tea and drink 100 oz of water each day. I have had no cravings for sweets at all. Just wondering how ya'll got thru this.

Thanks,
Julie

[MorganMac]

I used to drink tons of artificially sweetened drinks.. diet coke, pepsi jazz caramel (and black cherry vanilla, mmmm), iced tea, etc.

It took awhile, but I got down to 1 or 2 drinks a day and plain water the rest of the time.

Usually in the afternoons and evenings, I'll have one sweet drink - with great pomp and circumstance to make it special :)

[Jarrod]

Jewel... I drink Iced Tea.....Unsweet ( sometimes add splenda ) but....it never seemed to trigger cravngs.... once you get to day 7 like you.....the cravings fade all together. I drink my coffee too....so...once you know what your body can or cant handle.....then you CAN overcome it....the cravings come from
the brain ! hahaa.... GOOD LUCK !! stay strong .... Jarrod

[CValentine]

I find I crave alot less of the Iced Tea since I bought the liquid sucralose(Splenda).
www.sweetzfree.com (http://www.sweetzfree.com/)
There are no fillers(maltodextrin & such) that can trigger cravings! I love it!

[txjewel]

Jarrod,

Thanks for the insight! I am such a tea drinker I just didn't know how to get over that hump. Everything for me is going great and I am so thrilled and excited to be on this site with all you wonderful people!

How them Boys last night? Great game!

The support from this column is awesome and helping me tremendously.

Good to see you here! You too, Cheryl Anne. :)

My question about football is: how are we gonna handle the Texas College Football? :lol:

[CValentine]

~Cheryl Annhttp://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z48/chebaby77/081807_20171.jpgKilleen,TX Sunday 8/19/2007 - 8:30pm

[txjewel]

Jarrod - Just have to know - did you really skip the shiner bock? 3 1/2 lbs this week!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic.

Keep me in your thoughts, fellow Texans. Our association at the lake is having a fish fry this weekend with all the trimmings. I am going to eat before I go, but this will be hard. I love fried catfish or is this legal?

Have a great weekend ya'll!

[Jarrod]

Jewel and Cheryl Ann...
Yes... I did pass on Shiner bock...this is from a guy
that has the word Shinerman in his email address..
who has been to Shiner for the Brewery Tour..
has been to Bocktober fest.. ( and you wonder how I got
fat ?? haha )
So I had Steak...broccoli...and Water..... not as good as
a beer....but 3 lbs this week was the payoff !! haha..

Hope you all have a great weekend... Jewel....Stay good
this weekend at the fish fry !

[Chubby_one]

Hey ya'll.......I have to admit I've been lurking in this thread for a while.
I'm originally from TX. Born and raised in Pleasanton (you know, the birthplace of the cowboy :lol: ) and then went to high school in New Braunfels. Spent the last 10 years in northwest area of SA (up until 2 years ago).

Shiner Bock is the best damn beer in the world!!! LOL. Unfortunately it has like 13 carbs :thdown:
Anyway, I'm in the Seattle, WA area now and I love it here. The weather is great but the Mexican food just doesn't compare.

So, even though I'm not a Texan anymore, just wanted to say hi. :wave:

[CValentine]

Had the Cattleman's Ribeye MRare w/double broccoli at Texas Land & Cattle Co. It was delicious! Want to go back there for my birthday. I had a <<sip>> of ShinerBock, that was it...honest! How was everyone elses week-end?
~Cheryl Ann

[Josiemk]

My weekend was cool. I always go to TX Roadhouse Cafe for my Birthday.

Hey Chubbyone I used to work in New Braunfels. I love that town but it has really started boom.

Cheryl Ann, my husband is from Ohio too.

Good Luck y'all

[Jarrod]

Hey chubby....try 11 carbs per bottle...( of Shiner.) trust me..
I know....haha..... I so miss it....and those that live here in the south central Texas.....they cancelled the Shiner Bocktober fest
this year..... maaaan I was looking forward to it... I suppose it
got too big and they were losing money.....so.....
Oh well.........I like Shiner Lite too ! hehe...Oh wait....DUH...
Hey Chubby..I am wrong...you are right....( Shiner LITE has 11 carbs in it ) Shiner bock has about 13.

Hey Cheryl......lemme ask you....did you like the Broccoli at Tx
land and cattle.?? the night I went there..last Mon....
man....it sucked ...it was bitter.... and the vegs werent even cooked..( which is better for you I know...but the steamed
wasnt even steamed...) I told the manager as he walked around..
and asked..."is everything perfect?!!" I said...uh...no my broc
is not even cooked and it has a bitter taste...I had the other
two guys I was with taste it...to see if it was just me...
and no...they said it was bitter.
So....I wasnt happy...I didnt even care for the smoked sirloin.

Hey Jewel....you sure are quiet ever since the Texans beat the
Cowboys on Sat night.???? hmmmmmmmmmmm..?? I think they
suited up the Irving H.S. football team to play....haha

Everyone it doing great here !! I hope you all have a great week !
Jarrod

[Chubby_one]

Hey guys! :wave:
Josie.........no kidding. The last time I was in NB, it had changed quite a bit.
Well, I guess that's what they get for having the Schlitterbahn and the Guadalupe.........good times. :agree:


Jarrod.......you know, sad....but I never went to a Bocktober fest. I bet they were fun though!

[txjewel]

Hey Jarrod,
I missed the game Saturday night because I was at the fish fry at the lake. BOO HOO - my boys lost!!!! Good for the Texans. Wow - you are the Shine Bock King. Congrats for not having any. I am going on my third week without a beer and it is about to KILL ME, but this will be worth it.

All ya'll have a greet week - We can do this together!!
Julie

[CValentine]

Hey Cheryl......lemme ask you....did you like the Broccoli at Tx
land and cattle.??
Jarrod, my broccoli was okay, but I went on Saturday night. I hope they gave you a refund or something off on your bill for a crappy meal. I had the ribeye - med rare <<YUM>>, salad - oil & vinegar, & 2 sides of broccoli, ate it all!!

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start!
~Cheryl Ann

[Jarrod]

Sorry I ain't been around much lately. Things are going good around here but could be better.

Is anyone eles looking forward to the new season for that show Friday Nights Lights? I love that show even though I don't watch much football. I just found out that they do the filming near Austin.

Have a great one.

[Jarrod]

I tried watching that Friday Night Lights in the first season..

episodes that season........annnn...eh'........ just couldnt get into it.........

I hope all is well with all of you !!!

Jarrod

I watched the movie it's alittle different from the movie. I like it because in a way it reminds me of my town but my town is much smaller then that town.And doesn't have all the drama. But everyone knows everyone & football is a big thing around here.

[bubbasbabe]

I'm still lovin' the warm weather though...my garden's pushing out vege's galore & it's freakin' October!

Glad South Beach is working for you, I was doing Atkins & just recently glided into IF 20/4. Trying to shake up the weight loss!

Have a great night! ~Cheryl Ann

[Jarrod]

I've a little secret...shhhhhhh anyone listening ??? I'm from PA. we moved to texas when I was in 3rd grade ummm like 27 years ago so I consider myself more texan then pennsylvanina :) but my poor mom is still a die hard steeler fan. :)


Our garden died out with all the rain. we planted where the water didn't drain very well. (who knew, hadn't had that much rain in years!)lost all my squash and corn and peppers. only the okra and tomatoes survived for a short time.

[Jarrod]

Hope all you great Texans are doing well and hope your weekend

Ummmmm.... bubbasbabe.... I am sorry to hear your Mom is

yrs makes you a wanna be Texan..... 10 yrs.... you are
a certified Texan........20 yrs...You ARE a REAL Texan !!
haha...

[Chubby_one]

And after 30, you are officially a redneck. :lol:

[CValentine]

Went to my first Texas BBQ.
Had some great BBQ beef brisket, 1 rum & coke & 5 bocks(I brought my own.)
Hung out at a pre-deployment platoon party, these people can drink I tell you! A full keg ~ 16 gallons, 21 people, 6hours, empty keg. Keg stands, plenty of combatives & wrestling...

A good night was had by all!

Have a great week-end! ~Cheryl Ann

[bubbasbabe]

And after 30, you are officially a redneck

I married an Arkansas man: so I think my neck is almost red :)

[doloresrod]

Jarrod said I should come by and say hi.

[CValentine]

Hello Delores!
How is everybody doing?
Beautiful weather where I am!!
~Cheryl Ann

[Josiemk]

20 yrs...You ARE a REAL Texan !!
haha...

I guess that makes me a real Texan. I moved here from Louisiana back in 85 when I was 15 so I always considered myself a true texan. I'll be moving myself up to a redneck. haha


Cvalentine,
You ain't been to a BBQ until you been to a Texas BBQ.

Hey Delores, good to see you here.

Y'all have a great weekend

[doloresrod]

Hi Josie and thanks for the warm welcome Cheryl Ann.

lori

[CValentine]

Congrats on the weight loss Lori!!
Just holding here!!
Not much change...
Anybody else?
~Cheryl Ann

[Josiemk]

Lori,

It was nice yesterday was in the 90's. Then the front blew in this morning now it's in the 50's , windy & rainy.

I lost 2 pounds last week.

I'll be going to Morton's Steak House Saturday, so hopefully I'll lose a few more.

Y'all have a good week, I may not be on much this week it's going to be very busy.

[doloresrod]

Hi Lori,

No weight loss after cheating all weekend. So, I will have to get busy losing the 2.5 pounds this week.

Josie, I found the 2 pounds you loss. :lol:

[CValentine]

The Cowboys did great yesterday!!
My former team the Bengals finally won too...
Tennessee had 8 FG? WT Heck?

The cold & the rain came here to Killeen too...
They cancelled DH's PT this morning & I had him go back to bed for a few hours. It's good sleeping weather...

I've got school, so I'll check in later!
~Cheryl Ann

[bubbasbabe]

6 and 1 BABY !! :) love telling that to my weird Steeler fan mom :)

WTG on 2 lbs, Josie !!

Football season makes it so hard to stay LC !

went to bed to 76 degrees, woke up to 56. Gotta love it !! Of course, this weather makes me want all the comfort foods. about the only comfort that's lc is chili. hmmmm, might get hubby to cook up a batch.

Have a good week everyone !!!
lori

[Tiffanylip]

Just wanted to pop in and say hi to my fellow Texans!

[CValentine]

[Natkins]

Hey! Where'd all y'all go??

Howdy from a San Antonian (transplanted from Southern California). :wave:

[Kori]

In DFW here! :) ::waves::

[Lickrish]

DFW here as well. Kinda out in the "sticks" though. :lol:


Howdy Texans (I never say Howdy) heh.

[Natkins]

How about that Texas Tech game??? :thup:
Way to win in the last 5 seconds!!!
Man, that was an exciting game - could have gone either way, but glad it went our way :D

[ecstacyrai]

Hiya, I live in kerrville not to far from u. I also moved here from michigan 7 years ago.

[Chubby_one]

Hey I used to work in Kerville! I always liked the drive.... the hill country is sooo pretty (used to live in SA).

:wave:

[applewench]

Wow! Hi kerrverts! I'm out here 15 minutes west in Medina!

[applewench]

Can I join y'all?
<whistles
yooo hooo! anybody home?
Hey, all Texans! How's everyone doing? I love my state, and obviously everyone here does too. Aren't we a lucky bunch? Yesterday it was 90 here. Went to the lake Sunday, and got my first sunburn of the year! I see others from other states complaining about the cold, and I remember to love, love, love our blue skies and warm temps. I'm not too keen on our cedar problem, but hey, if we didn't have that and scorpions, there'd be no reason to try to get to heaven...because *here* it would be! Texans are truly blessed people.

[DarkFairy]

Hi there! In Houston here. Anyone from Houston in this thread?

[TejanaCJ]

It's been about a year since I posted. Poor health and a nasty bout of pneumonia and phlebitis kept me down this spring. I was eating on the high carb end and suffering severely. I had to go back to LC and am now happily much better and 40 pounds lighter.

My baby, that 22 pound cat is now down to 19 pounds (that is a big drop for him) as I have put him and the other three on a no-grain Wellness wet food. They are all on "Catkins." Doing well, too, but at first they wanted their unlimited dry food (the folks who feed raw food to cats call it "kitty crack").

I sure know about withdrawal. It was amazing to see my cat crew go through the same. I had to be careful with my fat cats because depriving them of too much food will bring on fatty liver, but after being very careful and making sure the two fat ones got enough to eat, they are all doing well and not missing their kitty crack too much, at least not begging for it.

And now for keeping low carb for me. I still have a large phlebitis lump above my right knee that reminds me this is a life and death way to live/eat for me.

Glad to see so many Texans still around. Three years in August I will been in San Antonio/Live Oak. Liking it more every day. Now I just need to know what variety of tomato does well in this growing area.

[Josiemk]

Hi TejanaCJ,

My brother lives in Live Oak & my DH is from that area too. I live north east of you past Cibilo.

It's good to have you back & congrats on the 40 pounds loss. BTW your kitty is cute I love black & white cats.

I know tomatoes do real good in this area but not sure which ones.

[applewench]

Beefmaster and Celebrity

[TejanaCJ]

I shall get myself to the local nursery or Home Depot/Lowe's. I have been looking at the new hanging tomato planters to make my gardening easier. When I raised tomatoes in SoCal, the my big hunter used them for a screen to jump the other cats and the birds. He caused quite a bit of damage. I admit I am very out of shape and do not look forward to restaking (y'all know I can't restrict the big cat, my baby).

So off to find some Beefmaster and/or Celebrity. I will keep posting. Beautiful day today in Live Oak. Breezy, sunny, 74, and rain on the way tonight just in time to green the yard some more. TTYL.

[Josiemk]

Tejana,

I'd ask someone at the nursery which tomatoes do good here. Marion has the best nursery here in south central Tx, people come all the way from Austin it's called Schultz it's off FM465 which is off FM78 about 30 mins from you. And we have the best Meat market too called Penshorne.(least I think that's how it's spelled)

Yeah yesterday was a nice day but we sure could use some rain , it's Spring & my grass is still dry from the drought. Normally in this area Spring is the prettiest time here. But because of that drought there weren't many bluebonnets. And I was going to take my baby Val to get her picture takken in the bluebonnets so maybe next year.

Well we are leaving for the coast tomarrow so I won't be on line till latter next week. Y'all have a great week end.
