Finally, I am moving the right direction again. I think many people put today's date for yesterday. On the other hand, we are all scattered all over the world so one's today is other's tomorrow :) We are an international bunch! :)
Good luck and let's make a great week with positive results! :)

I am staying on plan and feeling good about it even if the scale hasn't moved at all today. Oh well, I know that will happen a lot in the future as plateaus might happen. I need to drink more water and get moving but I just feel wiped at the end of the day! One step in front of the other, one day at a time!

Nice job even with TOM in the near future.

seems rough first week. i have been on plan but weight is fighting me for the first week of induction i think. i'm starting to lose after 6 days also started TOM today thinking that was the problem. also drank crystal light first day at work and basically felt like crap. when realized i wasn't supposed to have aspartame i stopped it and drank water and feel better.

I am struggling with not eating when I am not hungry. NEVER thought I would have that problem.

Thank you everyone.... She is doing well in a room and looking much better today.... I gave in to the margaritas yesterday BUT... I did not eat any carbs really and made my drinks from fresh fruite so maybe not a ton of damage... Tomorrow is when it will rear its ugly head if at all...

shan I love avocados. Remember not to let TOM play mind games with you and the scale.
Jessie good job not giving into the carbs. One day at a time when life gets crazy.
Hi to Sue, Kerri, and Healthy.
Mom hang in there. Soon a big whoosh will be headed your way.

yeah UBEE for a nice whoosh :)

Jessie.. I am so glad about your friend.. That is such good news!

Shan - Ubee is right.. TOM does play with us women (even those of us who don't have it anymore...) wooshes seem to happen just after TOM.. before TOM time.. its Hold the Water.. Hold the Water! :)

GW 225.4

Work has been terrible and very stressful. I am so bored (I have to stay busy to be happy as I don't feel like I deserve a paycheck just sitting there - and I can't do anything personal)... The new manager is now acting like the old Manager she pushed out and is hogging all the work.. really??????! GRRRRR.. It is also an office of 3 ladies and I just started 3+ months ago.. so you know who is on the outside. I also get talked too when I don't follow protocol---- tho the other two had discussed the rules and did not bother to include me. I guess they think I am psychic! :( Thank you GOD it is Friday... Just 1 day to live thru before I have 2 days off of the crappy stress.

Hello, I want to join this challenge if it is not already over. Authentic, did you just win this? It looks like you are doing great!

Mom- my husband did atkins a few years ago. He had no real results for over two weeks and then, BAM..... He lost 5 lbs per week for 4 or 5 weeks in a row. He had to concentrate on eating more fat. He had been eating a lot of chicken and lean meats, he switched to more fats and it worked. Or it might have just taken longer for his body to respond.
