blushing slightly...
Thanks! :D

Karen started a boot camp some time ago.. and i thought it was a fab idea... here's her original posting:

My short term goal is to get through 2 weeks induction with a view to 2 more weeks (really need to get some weight GONE).
I need to 'expand' my breakfast idea's too.

I am SO on this with you!!!!!! So, so, so! on this with you!!!! Hey purple, I'm counting on you to stay with this too!!! :) No mess up's, just pure goal driven, right?! :D

i'm right there... beside ya!
 

I'm in until Valentines. Just restarted induction 12/26. I really need to stay on track this time. How does this work? Check in everyday? I missed it last time.

Hi
 

I'll join,,but I'm not starting until 1/2 (or 1/3--not sure yet). Check back with you all later :)

Right now I am pretty strict. I plan to stay that way through Valentines. Then I will add the tortillas and nuts back in. It's easier then when you can make the wraps.
I find breakfast the easiest and eat it throughout the day, scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon or ham. Mix up an omelet. Or just keep boiled eggs handy. Yum. I made the best Chef Salad yesterday with leftover ham from Christmas.
For dinner I am having steaks (precooked) or burgers with Veggies. Just started this week, so it is still new and looking forward to it. Not sure what else would do for breakfast, any leftovers from last nights dinner?

Barbmarie: sounds like you are doing fab

lady_adnerb: the new year is a great time to start. We aren't all starting the same time, so don't worry! ;)

I must admit eggs are the one thing I got bored of last time, but am going to look at alternatives for some days.

I've managed to go shopping and am starting Tomorrow now.. i've brought it forward as I don't drink, and although we have friends over for new years day dinner, it'll be easy to be atkins friendly... as it's at my house and is roast dinner. :) Hubby surprised me today and bought low carb beers for himself.. they were a little dearer but he seems to mean business this time himself. Last time he ate rice and stuff even though I couldn't.

Well, there we are! House if full of good meats, eggs, salad, and allowed veggies! :D feels good to be getting back on the wagon ! :smug:

Ya, if you ladies are pressed this hard to 'get the job done' I will be too! Today is day 3 of induction for me. I haven't weighed myself this morning.. I'm going to go do that and see what has happened, if anything. Drumroll****** YAY!!! 3 pounds gone! So now I have just undone the damage I did for Christmas, and today starts my real weightloss goal of at least 10lbs gone by Valentines day.

Good for you!! Amazing how induction can do that isn't it!!
:D

I am so recharged by you're enthusiasm Jane. Btw.. Great name! My second daugher Riley's middle name is Jane, after my mom. :D Riley Jane.

Mmmmm, I found the best hamburger at this little corner market. I can't believe how good it is!!! I just had about a pound of meat and a pork chop, for lunch! hahaha!!! I bet I'll be full for the day, but it is hillarious how we can down that much fat and meat, and totally lose weight!

What a lovely name! Riley.
My daughter is Erin Eloise
I don't actually like Jane very much.. there were a LOT of jane's when I was a child and it drove me mad! hehe

Glad you had a good lunch, and enjoy meat eating!! It certainly helps on this woe!! :D Can you imagine doing atkins as a vegitarian?

I'm in on this starting on 1/3/05, like Brenda. I need a few days to re-energize and mentally prepare myself. I also need to do some throwing away of Christmas sweets and shopping for the Atkins-allowable stuff. I'm excited about losing weight, but dreading the feeling of induction...

I too am on induction starting on the 3rd.
I've warned my family all the Xmas goodies are GONE out the door.
I will stay on induction till at least Valentines
Hopefully I can undo the damage I have put my body through this Christmas and have learned that there is no such thing as a little cheat.
Is there an excersise componant to this challenge?

Morning Jane! I think I had too many calories yesterday, but low on the carb range. I was at 2450 calories yesterday, but 18 carbs. That's a lot meat! LOL Wow! I was hungry yesterday. I feel so sick today though. I am coming down with the flu. :( How many carbs in Day-quil?

Are you counting calories too?

I find that if I eat breakfast, I am hungry for the rest of the day. If I drink coffee/liquid most of the day then I eat normally for lunch, and have a good size dinner, and I'm totally satisfied. I love breakfast, but then I end up wanting to eat all day. :(

My throat hurts, my head hurts, my body hurts, but hey! I got a shower, my hair done, my make up on, I"M GOOD TO GO! :D YAY!

Jane, that is a cute ticker! Where on earth did you get THAT? How cute!

:D morning!! ok well it's 5pm here, but hey.. . thats time differences for you! hehe

I'm not counting calories, I barely cope with the counting carbs! hehe and weighing food to get to know again how much I should be eating. If you're hungry, eat, thats what I say, but something with nil carbs is always better!! ;)

My weight chart is home made.. did it this afternoon! :D Glad you like it, I've pm'd you.

Right on Jane, I e-mailed you. ;) I so don't know how to do that stuff. :)

Please count me in!!!!!
 

I was just wondering if anyone was going to be starting a New Year's Induction! How wonderful. Please count me in....I will be starting on Jan 1st, bright and early. It may be a little hard for me, since I have to work nights Friday and Saturday night every week....I know that caffeine is suppose to be a No NO during induction. I don't know if I can last 12 hours straight without some wacky caffy! :?: :?: I will really try though.

Not sure if I can get on here every single day!

Thanks for starting this, I really need the encouragement.

Caroline

WOOHOO!! Ok, so I have to brag a little. I just went in and tried on some clothes that I haven't even been able to squeeze into since last year.... and everything fits!! YAY!!!!!! Last year, after my hysterectomy, I lost 40lbs, then I ended up gaining it all back 4 mos later, plus gaining more!. So now, I've lost all the weight I gained last year. Yay!!!!!! That means I have "new pants", and "new tops" to wear!!!! :) YAY!!!

cb- I totally drink a lot of coffee, and still lose weight. :) It isn't always a problem for everyone. ;) Don't cut it out, unless you find that you have to in order to lose. :) Thank GOD that's never been a problem for me.

woohoo for you! I remember that feeling earlier this year...
Well done! Enjoy your new clothes! and feel smug!! :smug: :devil:

Don't fret too much about your shift 'fix' just make sure you still drink the water.. and don't count your coffee as the water! ;)
If you can bear decaf maybe mix half and half (half decaf / half regular) that way you'll be cutting down... and forgetting it! :D

I'm a tea drinker myself which is easier to 'kick' but struggled immensely with pepsi (full sugar / caffeine) but am 'clean' for a year now.

As for not getting here daily.. if you're missing for a day or so, we won't worry too much.. just try and post regular!
Hugs,

Ugga!

WOW, that is great! Isn't that such a wonderful feeling!? Keep up the great work. I have been lurking! ;)

Hugs ;)
Thanks for the encouragement. :coffee: LOL Good idea about mixing half and half! That is great that you have been "soda" free for a whole year! I will calling you when I go through the withdrawls! UGH. Diet Pepsi might be a good choice.

My goal is to only have coffee and/or Diet Pepsi while I am @ work, and to limit it to 2 cups. Hold me to it!

Off, to take a nap before I have to get ready for work. Happy New Year to all! Tomorrow, a new day, with no mistakes in it! Hopefully, A New Year with many possiblities for all of us!

Caroline

Caroline, sorry you're working over new year... what do you do?
Hope you can stomach diet pepsi better than I can... doesn't taste anything like the real stuff!
I found a carbonated water with flavouring that is nil sugar, nil carbs... tastes alright too!

We'll be here when the withdrawls start... I'll be along side of you! :D

I can't make an exercise pledge because I'm a non-exerciser :rofl: I plan on TRYING to add it into my life...but no guarantees!!!

You all are doing GREAT!!! Keep up the good work and the day is fast coming that you'll see me HERE a lot :)

cb, I am a major coffee drinker. Yep, don't count it as water, infact you have to drink more water. Between the coffee and water I'm full. :)

Off topic, but I just discovered the new thinger-ma-bobber on my webcam picture thing. haha! Did that make sence? LOL!!!!! But the picture reinhancement thing on the digital. :D WHat do you think of my new pic? :D

Love your new pic ! really cool colours!

Happy New Year all!
It's 1.38 and I'm ready for bed... someone tell my hubbies brother and sister in law!! hehe

hahaha!! I hate that. hahaha Company that doesn't know when it's time to go home!
Happy New Year!

ya, my husband brought home low carb snacks.. Pork rinds and cream cheese. Poor dear. He was so proud because the pork rinds said 0 carbs. I started eating them, then realized they tasted sweet. So I read the ingrediants and one of the first ingrediants was sugar!!!! wooops!!! LIARS!!! Not nice! Jer got hurt feelings so I had to keep eating them with him. He tried. :) We had an awesome New Year. My kids actually all went down to bed at a NORMAL time!!! (which is so unusual for them!) We got to take a bubble bath, then go to bed. SO awesome! Such a rare thing. :)

YOu've gotta check out this website. lestoil.net THis site was just introduced to me. I think every woman should see it. This artist paints plus size women. Wow! I want to be a toil girl!!!!! Check it out! :)

Yea! I'm here in boot camp too! I will not cheat. :nono: I will work with my tiny weights. :strong: :cb: :grouphug: :high: :yes: I will use my treadmill 5 to 7 days a week. :tread: We can do it! :drill:

Uggamugga4 -

I'll check out that site.. That is really naughty of the pork rind people to state 0 carbs... are they allowed to do that? Or is it if it's under 1g they can? Over here you have to watch the trace, or 0's but the Nil's are Nil's if that makes sense! :dizzy:

Sonnet - Good to have you on board!! We need someone to kick us into exercise!! I haven't gotten that far yet, waiting for headaches to pass then I'll have a re-jig! ;)

Have had a great start to 2005 - Quiet lazy morning actually got to read for a while (James Herbert - Nobody True - from the library). Then friends came over late afternoon for dinner and we had a great time (they went off to the cinema afterwards), had a great roast chicken meal, and didn't feel daft with my large amount of chicken with some sprouts. hehe no gravy.. no stuffing, no tatties.. was a good girl! Even passed on pudding and drank water! Wow!

Now off for a cuddle and some tv with hubbie.. night night!

YAY! I know I lost more weight, even though it isn't showing up on the scale yet. I have these pair of jeans, that were my Christmas goal jeans. 2 weeks ago they were about 3 inches from even fastening, and today they fit great!!!! I am so excited!

Jane- YOU GOOD GIRL!!!! I'm so proud of you for skipping. I would have been so disappointed if you did. I have such a hard time passing up all of the things you did. My kids favorite dinner is roast chicken dinner, like you are talking about. mmmmm

I don't know why it's ok for them to list things that say 0 carbs when sugar is one of the first ingrediants. So naughty! Either way, I'm not going to let that get me down. That wasn't my fault, so I didn't exactly cheat, right? ;) As for my eating today, I've totally been OP. I feel so awesome, especially with the jean's thing.. Feelin like a hottie already.

Speaking of hotties, check out that site and tell me what you think? After my hubby and I looked at it, I've been feelin like a hottie. lol :D Makes you remember that you can be gorgeous at any size! But being healthy is best, and that varies from person to person. :D

woops, Sonnet- YAY!!! OK BOOTCAMP! GO TEAM!

popped on before bed.. and congrat's for getting your smaller jeans on !! Always a bonus.. feeling smaller!

I must admit what spurred me back on, was folding my friends jeans - she was poorly and I was helping her before xmas. She's a size 14 (uk) and they seemed so SMALL!! compared to my size 20's or 22's... I can't wait to be a 14 again one day! :)

On that site.. which artist did you choose? I've looked at the Les Toil section. :D great site!!

night night

Jane, I know! I can't wait to be a size 14 again either! I know. That's almost goal! :) 14's are super hottie girls! As for the Les toil site, I clicked on all of it, but it was the Les Toil one that I was interested in. Cool! Inspires me to paint again! My husband wants me to do a self portait "les toil style", where I paint myself for him as a super hero. (hehehe) And for me to do one for him too. That would be so fun! I know I could do that no prob. :) That will probably be my ultimate goal reward. To do a self portrait for him, all curves included. ;)

Ugga, I am the same way. Years ago when I lost 150 lbs thats exactly how I did it. No breakfast (nerver was a breakfast person) ate teeny lunch and a decent dinner...was happy and lost alot of weight.

Well.......when I tell people that, I only get negative feed back..ohh thats so bad, this and that...then I started feeling guilty, really guilty and started eating breakfast. Now I eat breakfast and wanna eat all day long. No its a habbit more than anything. So my goal in 2005 is to stop eating breakfast and do what makes me and my body happy. People are just different, why can't people just keep their P's & Q's to themselves LOL ;)

Just give me my coffee in the morning and I'm a happy Gurl !! :coffee:

Good luck w/induction everyone, I am sooooooooo rootin for y'all :D
