Carb Counters - Induction Boot Camp :: November 8 - 14

Hi Gang!

OK... Boot Camp is back! :) Tomorrow is my weigh in day and 1st official day back on Atkins! Although I cannot do anything but walk right now.. I wanted to at least get my eating back under control!!!

So My goals for the week:

1) 100% Induction
2) walk 1 mile a day - outside or treadmill
3) Log all food in Fitday
4) Drink 10-12 glasses of H2O every day!


Anyone in with me? :yes:

KAREN - I am right here with you. Had my sausages and scrambled eggs this am after my workout at the gym. Already had 24 ounces of water not counting at the gym. Good luck with the walking.

GOOD LUCK GIRLS !!

I'm with ya on the exercise & water & fitday !!!

Sir yes Sir! I'm with you. Not sure about the 1 mile a day but I will try and do a weekly total.

Boot Camps R-US here I come!

I need to push more water into me.
I've been OP for 7 days and counting (I need to keep that up!)
I'll try and get the exercise in (not swearing on it and no promises!)

So here's to another great OP day everyone!!!

I need a boot sargeant to get my butt in line! Eating has not been the best lately. So, I will stick fairly close to induction, but not exactly (Hope that's OK, and I can still post here).

Here are my goals:

(1). Stick to 20 grams of carbs or less per day.
(2). Limit sweetner use (this has gotten out of control).
(3). Get at least two Equator Trek miles daily.

:rofl:

Ok, I got up this morning and weighed in! 174!! OMG that is 10 pounds since surgery. I know a lot is water and the swelly belly but sheesh!


So I am going downstairs to drink my coffee and get my eggs and sausages going! Be back later!

Can I join you all here? I've been off plan for a while now and having a hard time gettnig on track with ANY kind of plan. I've tried reg WW, Core WW & South Beach with no real luck. :(

I've lost all my weight so far with Atkins, so it's back to Atkins I go. :)

Tomorrow will be day 1 for me and I'm excited to be here. I really need the support right now.

I look forward to getting to know you all better!

Rose :)

Hi Rose and welcome!!! Not only can you join us here...but come on over and join us in the daily chat :)

Rose! We are glad to have you here!! :)

Well Everyone! My first day OP is under my belt! it was tough because on of our friends sent us a Pumpkin bread loaf and I love that stuff! But I stuck to my guns and didnt have any! :)

I got on the scale and already 1.5 pounds is gone! :) WOO HOO! You know me... I need the scales encouragement!

Good morning and thank you for the warm welcomes, girls. :coffee:

Day 1 is here and my 15 year old son is wanting to do this with me!!!! He's a big boy, 6'1" 230 lbs....he needs to lose about 30 lbs (he's big boned) and he is even joining the local gym today and is going to pay for the dues himself (15.00 monthly for a student)....which tells me, he's very serious about this and it does my heart good because the last time we checked his blood pressure at Rite Aid, it was on the lower end of high. :( :(

Thanks for the invite to the daily thread!!! :)

Have a great day, everyone.

Hugs,
Rose :)

Welcome, Rose!

Congrats on the loss, Karen! :cb:

Well, Day 1 was OP for me. It sure feels good to be back on track and be strong enough to resist temptations.

I'm on day 8 of being OP!! But this bootcamp is great!!! I've got to admit I've had urges to snack on this, that and the other thing but I've somehow managed to turn away w/out actually following through. That's a first for me! WOOHOO!!!

Way to go on the weight loss Karen!! Keep up the good work.

WTG Brenda! I knew you could do it!! :)

Everyone is doing great -- congrats!!

Here we go for Day 3 OP! :cb:

I even managed to go to Dairy Queen last night with a friend, and all I had was water. This bootcamp seems to be working for me. Yay!

YAY Jina! :) That is awesome!

I am on day 3 today too! of course I had to get on the scale again. I am down another 2 pounds so far! LOL! of course we wont count them yet!

I have started drinking warm water these days and it seems to help me keep drinking water. The cold water was making me too cold so I would not drink enough fast enough!

Today I had a few cravings when I got up. But I over came them!! :)

Jina: Congrats on passing up DQ!!! You ARE amazing!!!!

Karen: Congrats on the weight loss. Keep up the good work. Wish I'd see those results. I think you like the scale as much as I do...except mine isn't being as kind. It's not moving :(

I swear I've been good but the dang scale went UP!!!! What's up with that?? GRRR. So much for thinking I'd be able to sweat my way down 10 pounds. Maybe I'm stuck at this weight forever. Which would be bad cuz it's 4 pounds more than what I started with before my weeklong carb fest :(

Brenda: Keep at it! All of a sudden you'll have a WHOOSH!

Karen: Great job! Looking forward to your weigh-in results.

Well, I had to pass up DQ again last night. A different group of friends wanted to go. So, I just stuck to water again. This renewed willpower is awesome! I hope it stays around.

The scale is moving downward, but I won't report it as an official loss until Monday -- I still have the weekend to make it through!

Hi Gang! Sorry it has been so Long! I have a cold and it is really making me not feel well! :(

Brenda - your arent stuck there forever! You can do it! Keep exercising and eating right and in no time the scale will move again! Believe me I understand! Before Surgery, I was playing with 4 pounds for 7 months. It will move again.. it will!

Jina - Great Job on the trip to DQ! You are doing so well! :) I am looking forward to your downward report! :)
