Roast is in the crockpot, coffee is drunk, and its nice and warm in the house I took your advice Brenda, and warmed up the house before I got on the scale!! Im down 10lbs my first week! Feels good Makes fighting the fat lady in my head a bit easier.
I wanted to make a comment about one of the supplements Ive been taking. Maybe its just me, but Im truly impressed!! Ive been taking Chaste Tree, and my pms, is almost nonexistant! Its there, I know its coming, but its not a "put up with it" thing....know what I mean?!
Dh is out on a job site again today, so Im fending for myself today. More plastic wrapping of windows then a walk, hopefully before it starts to rain. Christmas wrapping, or at least sorting...thats about it around here.
Good morning, Leenie and Robin. I have been having a bit of a carb-fest since my knee operation and the scale showed it when I braved it this morning. I cannot afford bread at every meal, even if it IS whole wheat! So I'll be doing a lower carb plan for the next while but watching sat and trans fats. My ticker is no longer a lie!
I've decided not to weigh for a while. Since I've been walking so much I'm afraid that the scale showing a gain (even if it's just muscle) would depress me. I had a lot of people at work say something about my weight (or lack thereof) for the first time, so that felt really good.
It's gonna be a crazy day, I hope you all do good! Drink drink drink!
Yep, I'm drinking, drinking, drinking. I gained 3 pounds, but since TOM is visiting, I'm not going to get too upset. I admit I was disappointed this morning, but it's actually a lot less than I usually gain.
I stupidly skipped breakfast this morning, first time since I started Atkins, but I was really in a hurry. Boy do I feel it! I was starving by noon, but had only brought a moderate lunch with me, and now I'm hungry again (stomach growling hungry). I think I need to get some of those Atkins snack bars or something to keep in my desk drawer for emergencies. I'm SO glad I baked a chicken last night so there's left overs for me to raid when I get home instead of trying to cook a whole meal!
Robin, you're down 10 pounds!!! OMG! GOOOOOOOOO GIRL!!!!
Hi everyone, got room for 1 more?? My name is Stacie & I'm a carb-a-holic . I actually reached my goal weight just over 2 years ago (doing Atkins) & maintained for about a year after that. Then things just happened. My ex & I seperated, my eldest (now 6) started school, my youngest (now 4) was diagnosed with Autism - so between running around for appt's, school, therapy and working full time - I didn't have time for ME anymore . The only program that has ever worked for me was Atkins so I'm back at it as of yesterday. I lost 65 lbs the 1st time, so hoping it will work just as well this time 'round .
Looking forward to getting to know you all better.
What a hellacious year you've been through! Just stick with us and we'll help each other get to our goals! Did you see the Christmas goals thread? It's an awesome way to stay motivated (for me anyway!) I've got two kiddos myself (11 & 3), and don't they grow so fast!! It's awesome meeting you and welcome aboard!
Still op, and doing good. Food cravings are pretty much all gone now. Ive made of point of experimenting with recipes. I get so bored eating the same thing all the time. I made a quiche the other day, and it is awesome!! Next one will be with other add ins, just to mix things up.
Not much else happening around here.....how 'bout out there?
Hi & thanks for the welcome! I saw the challenge thread, but I'm not able to post everyday.
Lacey - you're not kidding, they grow way too fast for me!
Robin, glad to hear the cravings are gone. Experimenting with receipes is fun - I found all sorts of things I loved last time that I wouldn't have tried if I hadn't gotten sick of eating tuna & eggs every day .
I'm on day 3 of induction and I'm not having too terrible a time with cravings, but I am already really sick of water. Oh well - things could be worse!
Welcome Stacie, you'll love it here, everyone is so nice and supportive! I'm a Stacy to, but a y instead of an ie. You're in Canada? Brrrrrrrrr! Guess I can't complain about the cold and snow flurries today, huh? hehehe
I"m staying on plan, and I weighed in today. I am afraid of becomming scale obsessed, so I really planned to weigh only once a week, on Monday morning, and accept whatever it said till the next week. Well... it was a good plan, but... I couldn't stand it so I weighed in today. I lost 3 more pounds, so I'm at an even 20 now - Yeah Me!! I can't wait to change my siggy line - it's funny what motivates us, huh?
I've been experimenting with recipes to. This WOE is so new, I have to develop all new stuff or die of boredom (kiss of death for me). I mixed cream cheese, gorgonzola, marscapone, roasted garlic and a little pepper and spread it on celery. O man was it good, I ate a ton of it! I think I'll use that mixture to make ham pinwheels for upcoming Christmas get-togethers. I'd like to add roasted red bell pepper and asparagus, but at 3 carbs per oz. I'm not sure about using the peppers. I'm so carb stingy!
I can't wait for the Biggest Looser tonight, does anyone else watch? I never thought I'd get hooked on a reality show, or any TV show actually, but I am. Wonder who's going home tonight? I'm rooting for Susie to go all the way, but I think that Seth is going to win it. Guess we'll know next week for sure.
O my, I have a loooooooooong way to go Robin. I need to loose 80 more pounds to be in a "normal" weight range. I knew if I started out with a 100 pound goal, it just would be too overwhelming to look at, so I picked something I thought I might be able to manage. Whatdaya know - it looks like I just might make it
Hi everyone,
Hope you dont mind yet another. I am semi new I have been doing Atkins since This Monday. Have done it to a T so I am excited to weigh in Sunday! I have 24 lbs to lose. I want to weigh 120 again like I used to. I posted a Newbi earlier this week and got wonderful advice! Well, it is cold here in NY. Getting ready for work now. Have a wonderful day!
