We had a visit from one of our special little ELVES to update the totals chart THANKS!

Hee it is 1:30 AM. I awake again in pain and since I was about to swallow some more narcs and Ibuprohen chaser I needed to ear. I just cannot tear up my gts with that stuff in an empty tummy.Had a mug of hot choc w/hx and 3 slices of bacon. AM SO tired.
My grandson Asher was sweet..I sent him the same mail with Jodi and Beckham's pictures, and he asked I had more to senf. Not, I know that seems not so special from a 16 yr old..but this kid is Autistic and has the all about me basic Autistic trait. He does not care much for animals which in person just scare him, so him asking for pictures is a big deal. Love that child so much. Such a blessing on one hand and on the other his needs for support and emotional care is so high. I could never be the wonderful mother to him that my daugher Stacy is. G-D choses who is best with each other for many reasons..I had enough issues with my very determined and self assured daughter Stacy!
HEading to bed and hope to stay asleep until at least 9am!

I am very happy to see another drop of .8 this morning. I was a-feared I was going to hit the wall after losing all the bloat from the medications, but I do seem to be continuing. In have a lot further to go because I am still in that same range as I have been floating within for the past 4 months. I want to see 211 real badly.

Thank you all for the congrats on my loses last week, but I don't feel like I really lost anything at all - just water bloat. It was so much so fast and kind of went away just as quickly, but right at the start of a new game - so it LOOKED like I was losing when I really was not. It was not fair to those who were actually losing.

I hope that this week's challenge shows normal steady losses for ALL of us!!!! May we all see new lows this week!

Today I am going to make something different for lunch - I am going to make a Chicken Mushroom Meatloaf. Not a typical thing for me as it contains mushrooms! It calls for a 1 lb tube of ground chicken, 1 cup chopped mushrooms, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese, 4 oz cream cheese, an egg and some spices. The recipe calls for Alfredo Sauce to be poured on top. I don't have fresh parmesan cheese to make that, so I may improvise. All-in all, the recipe makes 4 servings with 450 calories and 3g carbs each. It sounds like it will be moist, but I wonder how firm it will be with all the cheese?..... I'm sure it will taste good, so I don't really care. For dinner I am planning on tuna. Snowy always rejoices on tuna days.

CRICKET - I am sad to hear you were up and awake from pain again. I pray you can find relief and get the sleep you need.


I will be back later to start commenting. May you all have a great loss today!

THoght Iwould have a little drop..instead I call SHOTGUN!

PAULETTE.. youearned the title and crown so wear it!

Hi Y'all,
Down .4...always a good thing. Got my passport today! So the last big step to going on our cruise is done. I'm really getting excited. Neither my hubby or I had a passport, or have been on a cruise. So this will be an adventure for us. The only thing left to do is wait until the week before we go and I'm gonna take a page out of some of y'all's book and go to Goodwill to look at pants. I think I'm okay on shirts, but all my pants are really baggy, except for one pair of size 22 shorts. Hopefully I will have good luck.

Cricket: So sweet about your grandson, I believe as well the Good Lord has His hand in putting people together. So sorry you were in pain, hope it is better. NSV on staying the same!

Paulette: I agree...you need to own that loss...you owned the gains, so why shouldn't you reap the rewards of loss. Congrats on the .8 down. Cricket your chicken dish sounds delish...except the mushrooms, never been a fan.

Chrissie: NSV for no gain, staying the same.

I will check back later. Hope everyone shows a loss.

Sorry I didn't get back on last night but got in really late and went straight to bed and slept like a rock for almost 9 hours!!

Tam whoo hoo for our Panthers! They are making us proud for sure. I'm worried for the Broncos next week....There can only be one! Let's hope it's the Broncos! (Sorry Paulette lol)...Yippee passport in hand makes everything better! Now it's "real" and "happening". Good luck on the shopping although for some cruise shorts you should check out clearance at JcP or Sears. I went yesterday and the shorts and short sleeves were clearanced drastically.

Himi yea on not being recognized...last month my ex husband didn't recognize me for like a whole minute and we were married from 1999-2007 lol ... it's so great when your hard work is acknowledged by others.

Jodi congratulations on your wins this weekend. I really loved the pic...Beckham is gorgeous and you are beautiful just like your mom!

Cricket so sorry for your painful sleepless night and those meany sneaky pizza slices. I'm with the other ladies though and say only 2 slices is a mini victory in itself. Asher sounds like a sweetie. I was so glad to finally see a close up clear pic of Jodi. She is beautiful just like you my dear Cricket. Hey at least you're riding around with Chrissie and not pushing her around ha ha

Paulette so glad to see you're still on the flume. Must have needed a potty break yesterday. I always have to tinkle at amusement parks lol....I'm so so glad you won yesterday's game. You deserve to win most games due to your strength and dedication alone! Maybe it's because now you've "seen" the loss in your measurments so your body has decided to quit "hiding" your weight loss from the scale....Like getting pregnant after adopting ???? lol...That chicken sounds good but i'm with Tam not a fan of mushrooms. Love the quotes-"If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started, I was desperately wishing to be where I am now" is my favorite and so appropriate for me these days. Thanks for sharing

Chrissie so sorry you had to take the mable mobile to work today but hey at least you arrived stylin and profilin!! Hope you had a wonderful day with the curtin climbers!! I'm with Cricket I don't do kids! I lied about my youngest kids age to get him into daycare so I could go back to work 3 weeks after his birth. I would literally rather work 3 jobs 7 days a week than spend 1 hour a week with kids! I give you mad props for helping to form young minds!!

Shout out to Barb and Himi hope you ladies are on the slide today!

Oops double post for some reason????

TAM.. yea on the passport and plans!..WOULD you please fix you data line to read how much you lost not weigh? I know other challenges do that but we so differnt always! GREAT loss too!!! Good luck shopping.

KATHY~~ nice to sleep in! Quite a compliment for me with jodi and I thank you! There is a saying that goes.." you get the face you earned by the deeds you have done..."...so I thank you

HEading to bed again..raining all day.Not a friend to nuts and bolts on the body!

Had a little bounce today-- maybe a delayed reaction from the Korean food? Who knows!

Tam I fixed your line I think-- nice loss! When do you leave for the cruise?

Paulette it would be awesome if you could get back down to the previous low this week-- cheering for that!

Kathy is sounds like you needed and got a good night's rest!

Cricket I hope YOU can get some rest and relief. Sleep that pizza right off

Hope you have a good day at work Chrissie

Hello again! My meatloaf was different. The mushrooms added a lot of moisture and I wish I would have cooked it a bit longer because of that. But it tasted great.

TAM and KATHY, congrats on the losses!

CHRISSIE & CRICKY - congrats on being stable!!!

HIMI - tomorrow you can kick the Korean food's a**

I am very tired for some reason and I am going to bed soon, so I will have to make further comments in the am.

have a good night all!

TODAY IS MONDAY Oct. 26th

BIGGEST WINNER GAME #25 began SUNDAY 10/25/15 and will end with weight SUNDAY NOV.1st 2015

It is OPEN TO ANYONE THAT FOLLOWS DANDR..1972 or 1992
Positive attitudes and a sense of humor is a big help.

Every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around!

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION! .....NASA (and US!)

WE DO NOT FAIL BECAUSE WE KEEP TRYING,
IT IS NOT THE HAND YOU WERE DEALT BUT THE WAY YOU PLAY THAT HAND THAT COUNTS!
We have learned and keep learning how our bodies adjust to the ever changing dynamics of life. We follow the Philosophies set forth by DR ATKINS in DANDR..1972 or 1992 versions.
It does not get easier as we get to goal and we accept that we will keep trying and not give in to old habits. We move forward, even if we take steps backward, we strive for success.

WE ARE THE A-TEAM!

Had a bounce from the bacon I had yesterday! I can eat it out and it doesn't seem to bother me, but if I cook it at home, I always have a gain. I think I ate too much of it. Drank all day yesterday, but didn't pee! I was glad it was only .6.

Paulette: Don't feel bad one moment about taking credit for your losses! We have all been through those periods of stalls and gains...and then the whooshes that come when we start losing again. Whether it is a fluid loss or a fat loss, it is still a loss and you earned the credit for that loss. I am just so glad that the losses are continuing for you!

Kathy: Way to go on the loss! I'm sure your emotions have to be in a turmoil as your son prepares to leave the country! Hope you enjoy your last few days with him.

Jodi: Congrats on your wins. I missed the pictures, but I'm sure both you and Beckham were beautiful!

Cricket: I think you've mentioned a couple of times about wanting to have everyone's email address. I'm a little stupid on how to get you mine...do I just PM you?

Your grandson sounds like a sweet young man! They sometimes surprise us...just when you think you have them figured out, they'll do or say something that amazes us. It takes a special person to deal with children who have special needs and/or health issues. I have learned that it either breaks you or makes you stronger. You evidently did an excellent job with your daughter who is now doing a great job with your grandson.

Sorry you are still not sleeping well! Hopefully, you'll get some relief soon!

Tam: I'm sure you are getting excited for your trip. It's so much more fun shopping when you are buying smaller sized clothing and you feel better in the styles you are able to buy. Great job on the loss!

Chrissie: No loss, but no gain either. Coming off a weekend, that is great! Hope you have a good day at school.

Himi: Sorry about the gain, but thanks for keeping me company. Sometimes, if I eat something a little spicier or off plan, it doesn't hit the next day, but a day or so later. That's probably what happened. I just need to stay away from the bacon. It does it to me every time.

I didn't feel real good yesterday and I'm still not 100% today. Had a migraine as soon as I woke up yesterday and still have the affects of it today! I've had migraines several times per month most of my adult life...they started about three months after I got married, so I always blamed it on my husband, but they were primarily hormonal. Since I went into menopause, I don't get them very often anymore...thank goodness!

FIL still holding his own. He's actually starting to eat better, but he's still having a difficult time mentally.
