NOT GOOD not good at all! I had been 6 lbs down.. LORD... I will get back there... Summers are hard aren't they??


Kate..... stick with it and I will stick with it too... We can do it together.!!! We know it works, Losing, We have seen it. It WILL Again... I commit to today.. Yes I will do my plan today! Thats not so long?! Easy Peasy! We can and will!

Lulu... Glad you are back and sorry about the scale... but it could have been the temp change and humidity as here in Florida we breath water in the summer time! You will get it off! :)

I see we have all been struggling. Hang in there! I stayed exactly at 162.2. No loss but no gain either.

In the past I have gotten so discouraged by this kind of "no loss no matter what I do" stage, and given up. I'm resolved to just stay the course. If I KNOW my plan works I will focus on that sure knowledge, not the numbers that refuse to budge.

Got glutenized yesterday by a chef salad that must have been cross contaminated. It's my last bit of denial that I think I can pick things off a menu that SHOULD be gluten free, but not from a specifically labled gluten free menu, and think I will be ok. Sometimes I am. But when I'm not I pay. It's celiac Russian Roulette.

Ah well, It's a new week. I wish you all the best of success this week.

Nothing new to report today from the scale - on the road this week so after tomorrow am won't be able to weigh until Saturday. While I like the 190's, I'm not in love with them!!! I had time to reflect this weekend and really want to make some progress. I am considering a fat fast for 4 days this week - Tuesday to Friday followed by 14 days of strict induction - so an 18 day plan and then time to re-evaluate again. 10 days left in this challenge!! True confession: I hate that portion control is so hard for me to conquer!!

Good for you KATE! you lost it and I found it! Water water water all swimming around inside me.... Need to find another home for it! SOON! Argh.!

Lulu NH 06-26-2013 07:48 AM

Can't weigh - But I think I will be able tomorrow - eating on plan - fat fast not for the weak willed!! No wonder atkins said most patients don't relish the idea!!!

I am at the point in my journey where I could seriously backslide and I do NOT want to do that this time around. This past weekend I tried on all the clothes I had saved for 10 years and they all fit - two lessons learned. 1. I can wear the clothes now that I thought I could only wear at 178 pounds. So even at 178 - my lowest adult weight - I was wearing clothes that were just too big for me - body image issues much!!! 2. Suits I thought were beautiful 10 years ago are completely out of style (except for 2) Everything that was too big/out of style went to charity or trash!! I do not have any "back up big clothes." One foot in front of the other - moving forward downdowndown!!
