Step Into Spring Challenge Weigh-In #2 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Pooky · 03-17-2002, 07:34 AM

Yet another couple of weeks have passed and I'm crossing my fingers for all of you to see a loss on those scales! Hey, even maintenance is a good thing

I have to admit I haven't been strictly OP--I use up a lot of energy at work chasing after the wee ones and since I have gone back to work, I have to get myself into a routine to make this work for me! I will say that my food choices have been low carbish--a lot better than before when Iwasn't following any sort of program so I see that as an improvement!

Last weigh in: 214
This weigh in: 212

and down a dress size!

210 still. Am concentrating on eating healthy healing foods until this darn arm is better. BUT I will NOT gain!

Finally, the scale is moving down again--2.5 pounds this week. So maybe I can reach my challenge goal of 220, about five pounds away. I'm getting more creative in thinking of ways to stick to CAD. I bought an interesting book today: The Secret to Low-Carb Success, by Laura Richard, which compares all the low-carg plans, beginning with Atkins. The introduction described my situation perfectly--losing weight by watching fat calories, but having this backlash of plateaus and constant hunger.

Hope everyone is doing well and is OP. Take care of that arm, Ruth!
