Welcome JB and momof3!!!
smith you are starting off strong!!! keep it up :) sue drat that ham!! water with lemon! lulu YIKES! note to self: never move to east coast lol I HATE the cold. I whine here in TX and right now the lows are only in the 20s. Mmmm lamb curry sounds YUMMY navymommy awww those are adorable ages. not too much attitude yet typically. And your body is probably just adjusting. stay on track and it has to give in eventually I did well yestrday, I think, we went out for dinner and I double checked how they prepared a couple things so in theory I was on track. I had crab stuffed flounder with asparagus and spinach cheese dip with celery instead of chips. I seem to be still flushing off the water. Hopefully when it is done I see a new low :) 12/31 - 244.6 01/01 - 249.8 01/02 - 247.8 01/03 - 246.7 |
Well I survived day one. My scale doesn't look like it, but also have TOM. I know it will come off over the next few days.
Current Weight-332.8 Goal Weight - 320.0 |
Holding at 1.7.7 - I'm challenged with a psoriatic arthritis flare and took extra prednisone last night so I'm not expecting any downdowndown for a bit! Not supposed to go back to the dr until March but I'm calling on Monday to try to get myself straightened out!! No pity party here - it is what it is!
On the bright side - can I just say I love fauxtato salad!! And the warmth of the woodstove!! Negative 13 this morning!! Yikes!! JB - Congrats on surviving!! TOM seems to always cause issues but I usually have my best downs after!! For me Atkins always seems to get easier after the first few weeks - one choice at a time!! Wishing everyone a downdowndown day!!! |

That just made my mouth water. Oh YUM! Isn't it neat that we can eat that awesome food and be on plan!! You are going in the right direction.. 230's are close for us! LULU... you just brighten my day. When I turn on my computer and see your post, I always smile. That 173 is coming soon! Oh yes it is... I just know it.. then onto new territory! If I missed someone.. I do apologize. I an thankful for you ALL! SW 1/1/14 243.8 1/2 244.6 (+.8 well eh... salty BBQ Shrimp last night and leftover NY eve showing up) 1/3 (244.8 (+1.0 total) YUCK going the wrong way..

YAY!! Just what I need!!
I was within one pound of my first mini goal and ahead of schedule. I decided to give myself Christmas through New Years as a break. I ate carbs and sugar but tried to keep my portions small. I felt horrible! tired, cranky, skin broke out and got blotchy, started craving sugar like crazy!! Worst of all I put on 3 pounds!!! So happy to be back at it and I am looking forward to this challenge!! |
Woohoo! Finally moving in the right direction this morning. SW: 178.4 CW: 177.6 GW: 165 (moved it up a bit :) ). Heading to the gym to make some fat cry :)
|
Happy Saturday to all! I hope everyone is having a great day (so far). I am freezing here in Michigan and expecting some snow. But the brighr side is that I got on the scale and hee haw it went down :)
1/2 --330 1/3 --332.8 1/4 --327.6 |

You can do it and I am sure you will see that mini goal pretty soon :) smith nice drop!! navymommy hooray! 12/31 - 244.6 01/01 - 249.8 01/02 - 247.8 01/03 - 246.7 01/04 - 245.7 hopefully a new number in the next few days! |
Wow - Yeah Sue, Smith, Navymom, JB and Pixikat on the downdowndown!!
Hello Capecod!! Sue I'm jealous of your walks!! I love to walk outside!! So happy for you!! Navymom - making me laugh "going to the gym to make some fat cry"!! There is someone on this forum that says something like "I wear black when I workout because it's a funeral for my fat!" Holding at 177 but I feel a down coming - I'm sure it is just around the corner even with extra prednisone on board!! I worked out yesterday and will again today. I think I have only missed 3 days in the past month. Yesterday was slow going but I still did it and I am proud of myself for that!! The elliptical has been worth it as I never left the house yesterday and don't think I will today either!! Looking forward to marinated steak tips for dinner tonight!! My family will have baked potatoes but Ill have fauxtato salad and a tomato!! Best wishes for an on plan day - take it one choice at a time and be kind to yourself!! |
Smith :woohoo: you ARE doing the downdowndown dance! YAY!!!
WELCOME CAPCOD! :) Starting again after the Holidays with determination. Glad to have you with us! I love positive people! :) and Sugar... argh.. that does do nasty things to us sometimes doesn't it! ohhhhhh it is so cravable! JBW I am so so sorry that it is so cold by you (I grew up in Chicago and moved down here the year it was -27 degrees and then -65 degress windchill.. that did me in! and my car lol) But smile.. look at what your scale is reading WOW what a nice drop!... Just think where you will be at this time next week! WOOHOO! Navymommy Fat cry... I bet you made it sob!... wave Bye Bye to that fat and speed it on its way to stay with some starving person who needs it! :) Pixikat You can visit me ANYTIME! :) My door is always open :) Good thing you live in the Dallas area tho.. you will get warmer days :) I am happy that you have lost almost all the holiday weight! gone by tomorrow I bet as you are due for a major woosh!!! LuLu I am so sorry about the cold for you too! :( bbrrrrrrrrrr I will think of you (all) while I walk and send warm thoughts and chirping birds to you when you are outside. Your marinated steak tips sound awesome! oooohhhh yummy! and WOW you are wonderful... only missing - maybe 3 days of working out!?!?!?!? WOW! you are my inspiration!
