Brenda, you go girl, you can do it!! And the hair color, I LOVE it!! I think it's fun to have different hair colors Good luck on the water drinkin' today!!

As for myself, I had a bloaty feeling day yesterday and I just can't get outta the slump. Am I making sense? Sometimes I'll think I look SO GOOD and then I look in the mirror and I'm still this disgusting overweight person that doesn't even compare to everyone else. Anyway, don't know what the deal is, maybe ttotm? (mine are always ir-regular, never know when it'll surprise me). I'm sure you all really wanted to know that too Maybe I'll try to squeeze in some walking or something, that always helps the 'ol spirit!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

Ok. I stink at this. I blew it yesterday already. Subway and chocolate chip cookies. ARGGGG. Alll with the excuse that it doesn't pay to do induction when I have that retreat next weekend. What a weenie I am! And of course I totally blank out the fact that I FEEL better when I'm on Atkins. Now I feel like this bloated, dried out (my lips always get dry) cow. Well, I felt like a cow yesterday too, so not sure what the problem is. SO!! Back to the drawing board!!!

Hello

Brenda, your hair problems sound alot like mine! lol Im not one to experiment with colour tho. I had it turn blueberry blue once....never brought that brand again. I like the colour tho, but I could only see your hair, not your face. So I cant tell if it looks good or not on you.

Lottie~ Sorry I didnt get back to you sooner. Your on induction, and from what I remember your going into your 3rd or 4th week? At your weight, you should still be loosing consistently every week. There must be something that your eating, and maybe you dont even know it, that is stalling you out. I have the most stubborn fat around, plus pcos and insulin sensitivity, my body LOVES to hold carb water. Even little cheats at this point will slow things down for you on this diet. If you cant think of why your not loosing, post your daily menu for us to peek at. Give us everything you put in your mouth for the day. Otherwise, we wont be able to help. Are you using fitday to keep track of your carb intake?

Audrey~ my dil suffered severe physical illnesses while her dh (my stepson) was deployed in Iraq earlier this year. She's been fine since he's been back, her dr. and the rest of us think it was all stress related. Im not saying that it wasnt there, it certainly was, but we all think it was brought on by the stress of him being over there. That was the first think I thought of when you mentioned the hives. My thoughts are with you, and your family. Its not easy for you.

Ive had a wonderful weekend, mom and I did massive amounts of shopping. Mom got quite a bit of christmas shopping done. Got lots of ideas for her granddaughter (my dd) I even bought a new sweater, in that new teal colour thats out this winter. Its just beautiful, and size Large!!! I was so excited!!!

Did some christmas shopping for dd too, found some cool funky girlie stuff that had my dd's name written all over it! Im making progress! I was completely op (off program) all weekend, and Im very ready to get back to it, Im tired, and feel all fuzzy headed.

I'll catch you all in the morning....have a nice sunday night

Hey ladies..how's it going. I'm hanging in here..figured I'd check in. I'm so tired..need sleep..however stubborn. I worked midnights the last few nights. Went to the flea market yesterday and church this morning. so, busy as a bee. and was able to fit in my favorite brown skirt this morning!!! yay! I will get around to responding to everyone's posts tomorrow or later tonight. Take Care.

Ok. Chocolate chip cookies were NOT a good thing to make. There are plenty left..but plenty got eaten by this pig (see my avatar??). I'm thinking I need to re-think my soda options. I think that took care of my sweet cravings. So I'll go get some soda tomorrow....and start from there. But make sure I drink PLENTY of water to go with it. I want the weight gone but it's not disappearing THIS way! So one step at a time

[RobinW]

How about this Brenda.........you can have your soda, only if you've drank your alloted water for the day????

robin, i don't use fitday anymore, since all i eat is meat and broccoli. i doubt i'm eatinganything thats stalling me. i'm not eating any 'low carb' food except the occasional,OCCASIONAL low carb peanut butter, and even that i only eat half a serving. i recently had some splenda but starting tomorrow i'm cutting that out too.

this is my second time on atkins, i have heard of the 'one golden shot' and that subsequent times it is harder.could this be my problem?
