Hello to EVERYONE~!!! Some of you might remember me from a few years ago when I was a regular on the board. I still reading posts but my life is very busy with 5 boys and a DH !!
I've been on Atkins since June of 2003 and I've lost 45 pounds according to the Dr.s scales according to mine it's a little over 50. I"m not worried about the difference.
My question I have is~~ Do YOU have to really watch your portions (meat) to keep your weightloss going? I'be been stalled for four months. I drink coffee...alot of it...and I do have diet sodas....in the past I have never had a problem with either one of these things. That's why I didn't give them up. I do drink my water but my portions are big.
I would be too embarassed to tell you just how much I can eat. When I try to cut down on portion size I end up skipping meals and that makes me more out of control on my portions for the next meal.
Does anyone here take time to weigh out their protien portions? I know that Atkins tells us to eat until we are satisfied but I don't think that's a good idea for me because I like food ...any food!! I need limits! Can anyone relate to this? What do you do? Do you weigh out your foods or measure them?
I have about 100 pounds to lose until I think I'll be at a healthy weight. I know that it's not going to happen overnight but still it's been four months since I"ve lost anything. During the time that I did lose the 45+ pounds I did drink coffee and drank diet soda. I've already promised myself that tomorrow I'll limit myself to 1-2 cups of coffee...not the BIG GULP size mugs ...and NO SODA!! I think that will be a step in the right direction.
A few years back I had a six month stall.......I gave up ....fell off the wagon...hit my head....lost my memory and was kidnapped my the carb bandits.
I really want this to work!!!!!!
So any suggestion ? PLEASE!!!!!!! LOL!!!
Blessings to all,
