Well I think I had a cholesterol sandwich for breakfast. It was a 3 egg omelet, with cheese, bacon, ham, sausage, sour cream, tomatoes, and salsa in it. If it doesn't give me a heart attack, maybe it will help me drop some pounds by keeping me full all day? Hoping anyway. I didn't eat it all, but I think I over did the fat of it. Atkins says you lose more with more fat, but I have to wonder about that since fat has so many more calories than regular protein.

Anyway I have to go to work early today I'm hoping such a big breakfast will tide me over through 6 hours of work without food. (I normally work 4).

It is amazing to me how being "honest" makes me feel so much more like I can do this thing. I didn't want to change my ticker, because it was at the lowest weight I've hit since doing this and I kept thinking it would be back in a day or two. But looking at that number and knowing it didn't reflect the truth, that I still had to lose to get BACK to that number was discouraging me. So after changing it yesterday I feel more like I'm working on goals I can reach. I'm setting a new goal for Friday, I want to be one pound less than my lowest so far this attempt. 240. Was down to 245 today, so that is 5 pounds in two days. Yeah that is probably a lot, but since I'm back on induction and since on Sunday morning I was at 242, I figure it is only 2 pounds plus a lot of water. Might make it.

Digestion and metabolism all freaked out after adding probiotics and fiber supplements.. I'm up again. I wigged out when I got a big 191 this morning. I'm hoping it's absorbtion from the fiber.. but i feel yucky. My wonderful 12s I bought in November hardly zip. I feel stretched at the seams! Decided to go back to strict Level 1 Somersizing (food combining). Garrr....

B: Oatmeal w/ff milk, 1/2 slice buckwheat bread
L:Leftover Spicy chicken and "tater" tots
S: ThinkThin bar
D: Leftover Roasted Veggie Soup, and a handful of raw almonds

Changing my #'s to reflect current issues.

Hope all is well for everyone - keep it up!

With 3 days of induction behind me, the scale stopped going up and went DOWN! I am now down 1 from the start (3 from yesterday). I am going to see what the scale says on Sunday and re-evaluate my goal. I was hoping to lose 5 week one, 3 week 2, then 2 weeks 3 and 4 for a total of 12.

If I lose less than 5 this week, I will adjust my goal accordingly, but I am still hoping for 2 lbs in weeks 2-4.

Have a great day!

B: Egg salad
L: ?
D: Steak, salad

Hey Lacey....what about a pedicure or manicure???? Or maybe a massage???

*LOL* Jackie, this is my problem. I treat myself ALL THE TIME!! Today for instance, I bought a pair of jeans, some capris, and 3 new shirts!! One of my friends and I just had a pedicure a week ago and my SIL gave me a Gift certificate for another one when it's time to refresh!!

I do love the new clothes/shoes hog but I'm spoiling myself much too often and am wanting bigger and bigger things. teehee

today!
b: ran out of time
l: hamburger and salad @ golden corral
s: 3 ham slices

Lacey

New hair color? makeup??? a new piece of furniture???

I know what you mean about buying new stuff all the time. If I want some new clothes...I BUY THEM.... BAD shopping habit...which is better than a shopping AND carb habit!!!!

I agree! I'd much rather have a big closet full of awesome clothes than fat on myself!!

There IS a 50% off sale coming up at a furniture store I like!! oh my! I never even considered furniture as a reward LOL

b: 3 slices of bacon
l: salad
s: shake

Breaky~ protein/fibre shake & 1/2 a chicken breast
Lunch~ cheeseburger soup
Supper~ bbq'd chicken breast and broccoli

Snacks, eggs, cheese, and/or spinach quiche

Here's the plan...

B-scramble with cheese
L-leftover veggie soup with parm cheese
D-cold cuts on the road

Will try to post this weekend, but no promises.

Hugs,

Hello. I'd like to join. I have just started Atkins again. I would like to make April 16th my deadline. I would like to lose 5lbs by then. Now that I am 36, it seems that I have to earn every pound I lose! I've been doing another diet for over 3 weeks and exercising 5-6 days a week, but I've only lost 2.5 lbs!
So, I am going to try very hard to make sure I lose this 5 lbs by Easter. Wish me luck!

Karen
