Hey y'all! My mom was released from the hospital yesterday. Everything is OK with her for now. Really never got a straight answer as to what caused the sepsis shock.. first they said pneumonia, then no pneumonia. MAYBE a horrific sinus infection.

Anyhow.. I've gained a couple of pounds :-(
I'm almost positive its mostly water weight so hopefully it doesn't hang around. Still keeping my goal to be 217 by the 4th!

I woke up starving today. I'm NEVER hungry in the morning and if I eat breakfast I feel so gross all day. Carbs really suck!!!

Hi Sizz, glad to hear that your mom was released from the hospital

If you know you didnt go on a full out binge and ate over 3500 per day then it probably is water..the scale will move again hang in there

Sizz, great news about your mum!

Ramra, good luck with your surgery! We'll be thinking of you. i'm wishing you a speedy recovery :-)

Welcome new peeps! *waves*

Steph, that 173 is sooooo exciting. My lowest weight in ages was 174 last November but haven't gotten back to it again since (and totally went in the wrong direction, ha). Getting into the 160s will feel amazing!

[globetrotter74]

Ana you will get there.. if I can be 5 pounds to my weight goal than anyone can be.. it has been tear, sweat, a bit of a cheat in between but I pulled myself together and almost there.. it has been slow process but hey I'm almost there..

174.4 today, I was a little high on carbs yesterday because we had carrots with dinner, still fine though History shows me jumping up then slowly moving back down and sometimes halting after having a drop.

One reason I like weighing everyday, I better understand my weight fluctuations.

Hey all,


I am now 1 week in on induction and I lost 8.5 lbs! I hope week 2 brings good results as well.. this week will be VERY stressful for me though with a move and a job interview, etc... I hope hope hope to just focus on this moreso than stress.

Sizz, glad to hear your mom is out of the hospital! You must be relieved.

Ana - nice, good luck!! You have a have a degree to teach preschool?

Gapeach - way to hang in there!

Hi to the latest joiners!

Sound like a true scale addict join the club Step this is what I tell myself as well

Sizzlingina, I'm so glad to hear that your mother is doing better. You and Globetrotter have the right idea, it's more than likely just water weight that you're carrying. There's no shame in not eating perfectly on plan anyway. It's so easy to make our own health less of a priority when a loved one is having a medical crisis.

Thanks for the support, Globe, Ana. I was pretty much horrified up until the point they knocked me out, but everything went smoothly after that. They only made 4 small incisions, 3 of which went straight to my gallbladder. Now I just have to rest. This morning I ate some cheese and I haven't had any digestive issues, so it's lookin' good!

Slimmer, good luck with your job interview! You've lost a ton of weight in just 1 week! That should give you some new found confidence during your interview. You're gonna rock it.

[globetrotter74]

Ramra glad to see that you are on your way to a great recovery.. I can imagine being scared etc.. I cringe when I have to go to the dentist or those yearly female exams... take it easy and take care of yourself

slimmer wow congrats on the weight loss I'm doing the with you.. way to go..

[StephanieM]

Ramra, glad your surgery went well! Slimmer, nice loss! Globe, I'm the good kind of scale addict

Ugh, so I hurt my neck and back yesterday, don't ask me how. I was sitting on the couch, moved and I was in pain all over. I'm even worse today, I cried this morning. I have some muscle relaxers from when I sprained my back in the past, and some T3's they gave me when I was in labour (what a joke, they sent me home at 4cm with T3's and they did nothing). I feel a little loopy and they make me nauseated but it's the only way I can function because I'm in so much pain. I ate some toast this morning to help with the nausea. Oddly enough my husband hurt his back at work yesterday so we were too very gibbled parents. For him it was his lower back and me it's upper.

174.6 today. I'll probably stall as I heal, and I'm sure the toast won't help but I needed something heavy in my stomach.

[globetrotter74]

hmm what's a good scale addict Step I believe you are a good one

sorry to hear about your upper back... it sounds painfully.. take care of yourself

[gapeach]

So after a lot of thought I have decided to mix things up and am going to go on a calorie counting type diet. I am going to keep in mind though that high carbs are NOT good for me. Anyway, I think it's best that I try something new....I can always come back right?lol I hope you all have a great month...and I hope you don't mind me still dropping by occasionally!

THanks for all the support you all gave me!!

[globetrotter74]

gapeach please stay in the group you don't have to leave because you aren't doing atkins.. I'm doing more of the GI Diet than atkins myself... You have to do what is best for you and if that works for you then I'm happy for ya..atkins isn't the best diet in the world but I've met some who thinks that t is and honestly I stay away from them they are way too fanatics for me not one diet is the best in the world

[Ramra]

Thanks for the support guys. <3

Stephanie, that really sucks! I guess all you can do is get as much rest as you can, which I would imagine is difficult with a little one around. Maybe a warm bath would soothe your muscles?

Gapeach, stay a while! I'm a calorie counter too. I tend to overindulge on Atkins so I count my carbs and calories together. I stick with the basic principles of Atkins and try to consume a fair bit of fat and veggetables, but I like to keep my calories around 1300 a day.
