Thinny...
I was about where you are about 3 years ago (went from 240 to 170 on Atkins) and I had some upsetting things happen in my life, went off plan, and gained almost all of it back (save for 6 lbs). Good on ya for getting back on plan before you do what I did! You only have a little further to go... you can do it!
Azure... thanks for the reassurance about the bloat, I've got 5 lbs of it gone already after one day being 100% on plan. Also, I got my monthly visitor today which should go along with losing my PMS bloat. Hopefully I'll be back at my ticker weight tomorrow so I won't feel like I"m lying...
Robin... I didn't get my exercise in yesterday either, I was too busy cleaning house. That counts for something right? LOL, I better get off my butt if I'm gonna get 1000 min in this month!
aud... and others... I hear ya about having a bad week last week. For me, PMS is really the hardest time. The cravings for ice cream are overwhelming. It seems like I need to be more established on induction before I can survive PMS
I wonder if the bad week had anything to do with the Full moon occuring last week? Hmmm......
Jerseygrl... thanks for that link. I put it in my favorites so I can keep referring to it while I train myself to eat only the induction foods.
Lynnar...
You are new right? I couldn't quite tell because I'm relatively new myself. Glad to have you aboard.
FitnTime.... Man do I know about Alcohol, it is always the harbinger of severe off-planness for me. Even if I only have a little bit. I think there's something about Alcohol that sets off carb/sugar cravings. And we're so used to just going about our days with no cravings while on Atkins, hard to resist sudden severe cravings on top of a buzz.
Everyone else... Ready for a great start in October??!!!!
Oh and P.S.... On most boards I'm known as Fluffs or Fluffy... and other variations of that. But call me what ever you like... MF...
