B- 6 deviled eggs, coffee with sugar free creamer and 2 pks splenda
L - broccoli cheese chicken casserole
D - hamburger patty and mustard greens
S - sugar free peanut butter fudge (fat bomb recipe I found and made)

Exercise - yesterday walked 2.5 miles, today riding bike and doing kettlebells

Weight loss is still not happening on the scale, but my legs feel like they are getting toned. Meh. I'm getting really really tired of not seeing results.

I don't exercise with the exceptions of how many steps I do in a day! You are probably building muscle which will result in no weight loss. When you do a lot of exercising your muscles will retain water is what I was told.

Wow!! I can't believe that I have completed 85 days on Atkins Induction without
deviating a single time from my plan.

Today the scale rewarded me for my dilligence with a 3 pound loss.

I have lost 47 pounds in 85 days by following Atkins but also watching my calories (calorie counting is not normally part of the Atkins plan). I have kept my daily calories around 1450. When I was only calorie counting I totally stopped losing any weight for many months. This inspite of the fact that I had reduced my daily calories to 900.

Larry.... You are an inspiration.. Congrats on all the weight you have lost. Be proud of yourself.

For any of you that eat any of the Atkins treats and use myfitness.pal, please remember that myfitness.pal does not give you the net carbs. Only the total carbs.. So remember to figure that out when counting..

For instance.. I had a Caramel Chocolate Nut Roll for a treat. My fitness has it as total carbs of 19 g. We count net carbs, not total

On Atkins bar it says, 19 total carbs, minus 6grams fiber -10 sugar alcohol, making the net carb 3 grams not 19.

I can eat that bar on occasion without gaining weight.

Hi all-

Feeling a little discouraged- scale has been stuck for a couple of days in one spot.

307/286/165

Good luck everyone

if you do a search on atkins products there are several that come up that have calculated the net carbs and sugar acohol, I use my fitness pal and have logged in for 1,124 days straight, I always deduct my fiber from my carbs to get the nc

I've been there but keep doing what you are doing and all of a sudden bam you will start losing

Dee and Skelly Thanks for the kind words. As far as net carbs go, I guess I am the odd ball on this thread. I know Atkins plan counts net carbs subtracting fiber from total carbs, but ever since I started 85 days ago I have only tracked total carbs never net carbs. My total carb average for the 85 days rounded off is 5 grams a day.

This is for 7/15/15

Good morning all-

Thanks Skelly for the words of encouragement. I think I forget sometimes that I didn't gain this weight overnight- so it isn't going to come off overnight. So the scale this morning-

Grats skelley on the size 8's and the loss Julie!

Still nada for me. /bangs head on desk

Today:
B - 4 deviled eggs, coffee with splenda and sugar free creamer
L - hamburger steak with onions
D - garlic parm wings with seasonal veggies
S - fat bomb chocolate peanut butter sugar free fudge

Exercise - rode my bike to my grandmas - I don't get it. Two months ago I was riding to work every day then 6 miles in the evening. Then it got excruciatingly hot. I try to ride a mile yesterday and could barely make it. Is it the heat or the diet or what???? I don't see how I could have lost that much progress in so little time I did manage a full kettlebell circuit though so at least that is something.

I'm hoping my lack of progress is just water retention. My grandmas friend said I looked like I lost weight, so here's hoping. Hubby has now lost 34 lbs.

bah on men (no offense Larry You are truly an inspiration. )

I did pass up on coconut cake, birthday cake, and pie last night. Had my tiny little meat patty and greens while everyone else chowed down on lasagna. You know, I was perfectly fine with that. I didn't crave it at all!

You might watch the garlic, onions and seasoning, could be a lot of sodium

Way to go, Skelley.... Isn't it wonderful to fit into clothing that you wore previously.. You are doing a fantastic job on this way of life diet.

Dee

FickleHearts and Julie: hope this scale starts reflecting all your hard work soon. I know how frustrating that can be.

Larry: 85 days at an average of 5(?) carbs per day? Wow! That's impressive

Skelley: over 1000 days of tracking your food?-Amazing! No wonder you're fitting into your size 8s

Yesterday was another challenging day. I had to leave for work at 1:00pm and didn't get home until 4:00am. All I ate during that time was some peanuts as there were no other options. Now today I'm exhausted and cravings sweets which hasn't happened in weeks.
