TODAY IS FRIDAY, Oct. 16th
BIGGEST WINNER GAME #23 began SUNDAY 10/11/15 and will end with weight SUNDAY 10/18/15
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!

The evil twin Mushy has hexed me and I am up 2.2 lbs today.
I am very sad and do not feel like a happy hot air balloon.
And my feet are puffy and the bleeding is still there. It HAS seemed to slow, not as horrific as before, but still flowing out. I am a bloated mess now and I know the hormones are at work. I will complain no further on the subject.
CRICKY -
You always make me happy.
We have been working on pulling out and mowing down all the flowers and junk - trying to prepare for the frost which will come tonight. I must get out and pull all the Caladium bulbs today as they can die in the frost. I must put them inside to dry before I store them for the winter. The Dahlias must stay in the frost to kill them back first, so I figure this weekend will do it, then I must dig those bulbs out and pack them for winter storage, too. I don't bring anything in as my cats will eat them, but I do have my little pot of rosemary sitting in the kitchen window. They don't seem to bother that one.
-------- Congrats on your good eye and another good drop for you!!!!
BARB - so great to hear from you again! I hope things lighten up a bit so you can get back on with us!
TAM - I love your side by side and you can really see the difference 50 lbs has made! Post more pics!!!! I LOVE seeing how we are all doing!
I never did take a monthly pic at the beginning of the month this time and I guess I should. I need to keep track of this stuff for all posterity. It keeps me motivated.
CHRISSIE - I know Coke should have a Splenda version, but I can never find it around here.
I do use Diet Rite, which is Splenda. It is expensive, though, and never goes on sale.
IT would be great to have an alternative!
I must get back to work now. I really hope I can whoosh soon. You all have a good day!
