Im back..

  • Hi all!

    After a breif stay here before Christmas, suffering a total crash of the PC.. i am BACK. I think i posted like 12 times or something..LOL.

    Anyway.. I am a 26 year old female. Single mom of two.. age 5 and age 2. I go to school full time and work full time, im a LPN working on my RN currently.

    I am trying to get to onderland. that is my big goal at the moment. Just get a one in front of the scale. I currently weigh 281. I weighed this before Christmas and havent been able to get it to move, in fact i was up to 289 the 2nd of feburary.. when i started the low carb thing again. I had nearly NO withdrawal problems this time.. of course.. im only a few days in.. so thats probably why!

    Looking to make friends with people like me

    Take Care... Mommie
  • Welcome back!!!
  • Welcome back!

    I'm heading for onederland myself, one little ounce at a time
  • One ounce at a time! LOL! I like that. That is what I keep feeling like I'm doing too. I've been so good lately I deserve a "whoosh" from the "whoosh fairy". But she is hiding from me lately. Somebody else must have her stashed away in their closet and isn't letting her out.
  • I hope i deserve a whoosh soon too. I have gone down only 5 lbs since the begin of Jan. Made my val goal but just bearly with the weight but nothing is showing any where!!
  • Okay.. Whats a "whoosh"??? LOL.. Pardon my stupidity and all..

    I woke up this morning and jumped on the scale.. i weigh 278.5 Which is a 2.5 lb loss since yesterday. I understand that most of this is just water but ive lost nearly ten pounds in what.. the 5th.. (date wrong on earlier post).. but honesly.. i dont care if all the weight i lose is made up of Little White Clouds and rubber bands.. as long as "I" dont have to carry it around anymore.. IM HAPPY

    This diet really works for me.. to bad i always have lost the "sticktuitivness" before as soon as the cravings and withdrawals started.. Im really determined this time.. so Hopefully it will stick!!

    Have a great one!

  • Withdrawls and cravings really sucked for me for the first two weeks. So I can sypathize...As I am sure we all can...Welcome to the thread I am also new here have only been doing low carb for about 3 weeks now. Been on the board about a week and everyone here is nice, supportive and funny Good luck.

  • A Whoosh is when you jump on the scale the the fairy had come during the night and whoosh some pounds are gone!!
  • Cool - I got a visit from the whoosh fairy last night - I was down a pound this morning!
  • The whoosh fairy is usually a very onery person. She stays away for days at a time and suddenly "whoosh" 2 or 3 unexpected pounds are gone all at once. It's kind of a surprise when it happens. Lovely to see though.
