Congrats everyone on the losses!! :)

Busy... Thanks for the curry chicken recipe - yum!!! My DH makes Vietnamese chicken all the time and thighs are the best for that recipe. I love spice and flavor :)

Lost 1.5 lbs last week and .5 loss this week. Glad the number on the scale is going down and not up! ESP w vacation for a week and then out of town guests for 4 days. Yikes!!!
Focusing and sticking to plan this week and hope for min. 2 lb loss!

Ok Skelley - stay on a roll - I'm going for 2 lb loss by Friday! :)

I use My Fitness Pal to track my food and I measure or weigh EVERYTHING. Also since I am following the Atkins 20 induction program I eat nothing that is not on the list at this site. http://www.atkins.com/how-it-works/atkins-20/phase-1

A good on plan day today. Tomorrow I am having a sleep test to see if my CPAP needs adjusting. My DW says I am snoring while using it. I told my Pulomologist this and he scheduled me for a sleep test. The last one I had was about fifteen years ago. This seems to be my week for doctors. On wednesday I see my Hemotologist who is following my anemia then on Thursday I have two appointments, one with the Gastroenterologist for routine follow up and my Eye Doctor for a follow up. He told me on my last visit that I have the precurser to macular degeneration. So these are the Golden Years? At least I have kept my sense of humor.

I weighed in yesterday and I lost one pound.. Slow but sure...

Larry you are doing fantastic, and are committed. That is wonderful.

Slow but sure is a good thing rpm3060

Larry H you are doing awesome! Very inspiring!

My scale was kind to me today and granted another 2 pound loss down to 279 :D:carrot::D :goodscale

That makes 43 days on Atkins Induction and 28 pounds lost

I just left the Hospital where I had a Sleep Study last night. Was told I had 25 Sleep Apnea events per hour. Woke up with a mild headache which is unusual for me. The nurse said that was due to a lack of oxygen during the sleep test. It felt strange sleeping without my CPAP machine last night.

Congratulations Larry H!!! Good job

I use fitness pal, and my calories, protein, fat and carbs are from MRC Maintenance.. For those of you that are trying to get back to maintenance as I am, what numbers do you have set into My fitnesspal, if that is what you use.

Thanks and I hope I am making myself clear.

rpm3060:

I also use myfitness pal but I'm currently trying to get to my goal then to maintenance so not sure if this will help you or not. This is what I have my
macros set for;

Calories 1250
Carbs net 20 (5%)
Protein 94 g (30%)
Fat 90g (65%)

I went for lab work and an office visit to my Hemotologist today.
I have been Anemic for two years. The bottom range for a normal red bood cell count is 13 and for two years I have been 12 and lower. Today my RBC was 14. The only thing I can attribute this increase to is the Atkins diet with its huge increase in my meat consumption. :D:D I am still a little low on white blood cells and platelets so I have another appointment when I return from New York.


WOW!! Only three (3) grams of carbs today :woohoo:

Great job Larry... You are an inspiration.

Could we share some snacks? This is my problem at times. I cannot eat any of Atkins bars, shakes, etc.. I gain weight with them, so am with real food.

I do the Caprese Salad, with basil, low fat mozzarella cheese, balsamic vinegar, splash of olive oil, tomatoes..


Am open to any snack ideas one wants to share..
Thanks
