About Me:: I am a happy mommy of 3, married to the love of my life (Corny, but true) have officially since August 07 lost 45 pounds. Did it on Atkins and WW CORE, but now am going to try to use weight watchers for the last 25 I need to lose, I am doing this to learn how to eat right, and I am joining to help my best friend lose the weight and she is doing WW, so I am joining to support her too.

Plan of Choice:: Weight Watchers, other

Goodness, I really feel like a blogger slacker now, if it wasn't for Dawn that brought me back I wouldn't have realized it :) All is well in the household, Edward's surgery went really well, but he does have this form of cyst that has to be monitored every 3-6 months to check for regrowth, so we will become close friends with the oral surgeon needless to say. He goes in next week to the orthodontist to start his braces and me and dad are having to take out $1800 out of the savings (ouch) so are… Continue

360 Degree Turn

So to make a loooong story short, we are no longer going to Ecuador. Last week at was going to be a consultation for my oldest sons orthodontic treatment, turned into my son is now having surgery to remove a cyst inside his gum. The oral surgeon says he has never seen one this size in a kid so small. So of course that put our trip on a screeching halt. He has to have surgery and then have 4 teeth pulled at the same time, which means he has to begin his orthodontic treatment right after that. My… Continue

SOOOOOO

Okay ATKINS, great for losing weight, BAD for teaching healthy habits, I mean I really don't like ingesting all of that fat, and when I eat less of the fatty stuff I am starving...... I am having a 2 pounds yoyo fest, the same 2 pounds come off and then it comes back.... I am REALLY thinking I should give up on the fast track ATKINS thing, and stick to WW, because I catch myself binging and then I stop and ask myself why, and then it clicks (Erika you haven't learned how to eat) and then I hear… Continue

MIA

So I have been a little MIA, but i am now coming back. Still plugging away at ATKINS. Had a very busy weekend, had our yearly youth retreat which was awesome! And my mentor and friend was the speaker so that was even more awesome. I guess by now some of you have realized that we are Christian and that my husband is a minister :) I had a great time and now am trying to recoup. Will post some pics once I get to it. I will keep you posted once I WI tomorrow at work.... Later

So My Birthday Suprise Was .....

My sister and niece that I hadn't seen in 3 months since they moved to Texas!!! I got to the restaurant where my parents had reservations for us. So as I am climbing I see this girl in the corner and I say to myself "boy she looks like my sister" and as I got closer I saw it was her and my niece in the corner, I must've screamed my head off, everyone in the restaurant stared at me, and it didn't help I was a bawling mess.... This was the BEST birthday ever!!! Enjoy some pics...… Continue

At 4:04pm on June 20th, 2008, Kimmy said…: Hey Erika! I always start induction for at least a week to get myself on track after a vacation. It really makes a difference in weight and in how I feel. I do eat a lot of meat, but also more vegetable than I ever imagined, and I am not focusing on adding more. It has really kept me in control! But make no mistake, the reason it took me 2 years to lose that much weight was because "vacations" seemed to happen pretty frequently, and I was still relying on food to make me feel better about certanin things. But that is the biggest difference the low carb lifestyle has made for me. I now feel in control of what I eat, so when I do totally splurge (and for me splurges are all or nothing), I can get right back to it! Let me know how you are doing!

Here's to losing more weight this week!
Thanks again!
