Team '72 Week of 4/28/08

Ladybugg · 04-28-2008, 06:57 AM

Wow! Looks like I'm the first one here today, so I'm starting the new thread.

I'm down 2 lbs this morning - down to 182...170's here I come

Ladybugg · 04-28-2008, 07:17 AM

How was everyone's weekend? I spent most of it out shopping for shoes - I was dead tired Saturday. We left the house about 10am and got back about 4:30. I did manage to get 2 pairs of sandles at the last store we went to. I'm real picky on shoes, plus I have wide feet which makes them harder to find to fit.

My eating was fairly good, at least I got to keep the 2 lbs loss. I was almost scared I screwed it up.

Tecnokitty · 04-28-2008, 08:52 AM

Gratz on your 2 lbs Kim!

How are things going with DH? Good I hope, I have been thinking of you.

I will be pretty busy so won't be posting as much but I'll still be around! I ate well over the weekend but haven't been feeling great. Hope everyone is doing great! We wanted to set up the jungle gym Garrett got this weekend but it was ugly out and I wasn't feeling too good so it'll have to wait till next weekend.

myamara · 04-28-2008, 08:53 AM

Good Morning everyone

I am starting my second week of Atkins and thought i would pop in and say hi. As of this morning i have lost 13lbs....boy am i shocked as that seems like alot. I Can't believe i made it through the first week without cheating!

Hope everyone is having a great morning ....i'm off to earthquake proof the house! I live in Reno, Nevada where we are having alot of earthquakes lately! They are growing in intensity and after a big one on Friday and this morning I am not taking anymore chances with my antiques! Better safe than sorry since they are telling us to prepare for a big one! LoL i thought i was safe after moving out of California!

marymc · 04-28-2008, 08:54 AM

Hey Kim!! Wow... it's as quiet here today as it was all weekend. Congrats on those two pounds!!

WTG!!! Looks like increasing your carbs did the job.

I had a great and relaxing weekend myself!! Thanks for asking.

I am also happy to report that I dropped 2 pounds last week too

for a total of 8 pounds lost in the month of April which is when I started eating a more balanced diet.

Slow, but it works for me. My body is really liking the changes too (for any lurkers, I'm not doing '72 or even Atkins - just still hanging around like a bad haircut!

) and I'm really happy that I have been able to incorporate ALL foods back into my diet, without creating any binges.

I was very proud of myself for being able to have a single slice of pound cake and not eating the whole cake!! I sliced the entire loaf up and froze it but honestly I haven't had another slice! And there was a large slice that I left out in plastic wrap on the counter for DH, and it sat there for a couple of days but I had no desire to even touch it, so that's a good thing!! And, I could not have said that 6 months ago. I know that I will always have to track everything though because if I don't know where I am with my foods, I'll get off track again. At any rate, I am happy that the weight is moving and that I'm feeling healthy and strong.

Well, I hope that the quiet means that everyone is out having fun and enjoying life!! Wishing for everyone to see losses on the scale... Hope to see you all soon. TTYL

Ladybugg · 04-28-2008, 08:57 AM

Hey Kitty - DH and I are still talking...LOL. He has some tests to go for on Wednesday, so we'll be going through some stress for the next week until we get some results.

Myamara! I see you found us okay. Congrats on the 13lbs - that's great!

It'll probably slow down after the first couple of weeks. Check in here with us, we'll try to keep you cheat-free.

Tecnokitty · 04-28-2008, 09:02 AM

Myamara

GRATZ Mary on your 2 lbs! That is So awesome about the cake! GJ!!

Glad to hear you had a great weekend. Onederland is so close I bet your can "taste" it..lol.

Hope the tests come out OK KIm. Here come the 170s!!!

Ladybugg · 04-28-2008, 09:04 AM

WooHoo Mary! Congrats on your 2 lbs! I think 2 lbs a week is good for me too, slow but sure. At least we're losing and not gaining.

I talked my niece into starting Atkins since she noticed I was losing. She did DANDR for a week without cheating and she said she gained 8 lbs . It scared her off. She has a history of yoyo dieting as she's obsessed with her weight. She lost on Jenny Craig, but can't afford it now. I told her that Jenny Craig does not teach her how to eat and she should maybe see a dietician.

harleymamma · 04-28-2008, 09:11 AM

Howdy Yawl! Got a second, thought I would pop in! I was terrible with my eating yesterday, I don't know if it is because it is time for TOM or what, but I had the WORST craving for sweets..i ate a whole bag (about 6) of sugar free caramel nut clusters!! OMG, I was so sick last night...uggg!

Mary...I am so proud of you and your new WOE...I am seriously thinking about doing the same, i seem to have stalled out again and am not able to lose any...I would SOOOOOOOO love a tuna sandwich...lol

Kim...glad you and DH are doing better, but you know, if you need "The Chicken Wing Gang", we are on the next plane!

Kitty..it's dang cold here today, I am guessing it is the same down your way...YUCK!

Welcome Mya...nice to see a new face....

Ok girls, tell me what to do...I seem to have myself either a bladder infection or a kidney infection, don't know which, but I have to potty CONSTANTLY!!! NO pain really, just going all the time...geeze, gotta go again now! My mom always told me to drink cranberry juice, but of course CARBS N SUGAR!!! Momma Mary, what is my cure (that doesn't involve the dr.)??

farley109 · 04-28-2008, 10:05 AM

Yes...I'm walking the hall of SHAME!!! I blew my diet completely outta the water this weekend!! It began Friday night at the "TOY" party!!! Had some coconut rum and you know how you get the munchies when you drink?? HELLOOOOO ate soo many oatmeal raisin cookies I thought I would puke!! Then Saturday I woke up with the after party munchies....And ate my weight in EVERYTHING!!! Then had coconut PIE!! Yep...Done it up good!! Then Sunday I made a cake....meatloaf....mashed potatoes...corn...O well...Needless to say, I didn't do good!!!

I'm kinda feeling like Shala and Mary....it maybe time that Incorporate some fruit and whole grains into my diet!!

Shalala...I buy the AZO pills! Makes ya pee orange, but works.....

Kim....I LOVE me some shoe shopping!!!

Moma Mary...did you attend the funeral??

Kitty....hope your feeling better!!

Princess Di....Hope you had a good weekend! I still can't get over how cute that darn cake was!!!

Kathy....I was with ya!! Had my girls night out of Friday!! I'm glad that you still enjoy a night out with the girls!! God knows I do!!!

Cathy....I've missed your posting!! You usually post after I'm gone!!

Brandi...How was your weekend???

Terie...Find your toy yet???

Someone I know got drunk and lost their toy!! hehehe

Everyone else....

marymc · 04-28-2008, 10:39 AM

Well, this is more like it!

I was wondering where everybody has been!

Hey everybody and thanks for all the well wishes. I'm hoping that I will stay with tracking everything I eat so I don't screw up and that the scale keeps moving DOWN. It may be a slow loss, but at least I do know that it's definitely fat and not water weight!

Okay... I actually just walked on the treadmill!

Just felt like doing it today - now, that might just be a one day event

... but hey I did it today. I only did 1.25 miles which because I walk kinda slow at 2.5 mph, takes me about 30 minutes. But hey... at least I got on it, right?

Shala, I have only had a bladder infection about 2 times in my life maybe. I just drank tons of water with lemon and yeah, pure cranberry juice. You know I am basically following those guidelines that you posted from that show "I Can Make You Thin" to be honest. I think calling all carbs off limits only created a monster in me and made me desire them even more. Or maybe my head is just finally screwed on right after all this time and I know that some carbs are only once in awhile foods while others should be the mainstays. Dunno... guess we'll see how it goes in the coming months... I may end up crawling back to low carb with my tail between my legs

but let's hope not!

Tommie, I decided not to go. I felt a bit guilty about it until I saw it on tv and realized he probably would have never known I was there anyway for all the people. I don't think that I would have handled it well, nevermind DH. Those kinds of emotional things tend to put me down for a few days because I'm so sensitive that I tend to absorb everybody's grief. I talked myself out of going cuz I knew it would be too hard on both of us.

Well, everybody have a great day. Just wanted to pop in before I got started with some chores. The gloomy weather is gone and the sun is back and I have another out of control bush to whack!!

bentleykisser · 04-28-2008, 11:09 AM

I'm here ladies! alive....not well...but alive. I'll check back in later when i've got some time! miss ya'll!

harleymamma · 04-28-2008, 11:10 AM

Tommie...where do I get AZO pills??? Yeah, you are right, i am seriously thinking about adding back fruit and whole grain...still nixing the sugar though, it's not for me..and not going to go whole hog on the carbs...still no white bread or pasta (well maybe on occassion)

Mary...The "I can make you thin" thing really does work....if you make an effort when you eat at least, and not always grab something on the go, which is usually what I do (still eating PB out of the jar for breakfast here) The only time I really sit down to eat is when I go out...and I always do the putting the fork thing down and counting each bite...I works!

Ok, so here is the new menu I am thinking of trying next week...let me know what you think...

Breakfast- scrambled eggs

Lunch- Tuna sandwich (on whole wheat bread made with fat free mayo) and an apple or mellon

Dinner- lean cut of meat, either steak, chicken or maybe low carb pizza..

Snack....almonds or peanuts, maybe another piece of fruit...

Well...what's the verdict?

mom276 · 04-28-2008, 11:14 AM

Hey gals! I've been busy this morning. 1st off congrats to kim, mary, and myamara on your losses

and anyone I left out, wish I could say I lost

I started last night and I really cheated on Sunday, think I had half a bag of plain m&m's and a burger w/bun, pepsi , can't remember everything else. I feel like I am not going to get my MAUI BODY!!!!

I have been doing good today, so far. I bought some almonds, didn't realize how low in carbs they are!!

Tommie- do you have any funny stories, I need a good laugh, I am feelin' grouchy!! Thought for sure you would have a TOY story

Well I hope the rest of you gals are having a good day!

Ladybugg · 04-28-2008, 11:15 AM

Shala - where are your veggies?

Ladybugg · 04-28-2008, 11:18 AM

Brandi - I bought some almonds over the weekend. It was the Planters salted ones. It's 5 carbs for 1/3 cup, so I pre-bagged it into little snack bags so I know that's all I can eat. Otherwise, I'd eat the whole can. I did the same thing with cashews but they're 11 carbs per baggie (I'll only eat those on occasion).

Hi Theresa - we miss you! Hope you feel better soon.

mom276 · 04-28-2008, 11:22 AM

Kim- Maybe I'm confused on the nuts and math. My can shows 4 carbs and 3 fibers, so that equals out to 1 carb, now that's only in 1 oz and the serving in the container is 8. So how many nuts would be in a serving?

I'm not sure, but my 1/3 cup baggie contains 53 almonds and I've already ate some

I got 5 1/2 baggies from the can and I believe it was a 500g can. So each must be about 100g - how many grams in an ounce?

Now you got me confused

Ladybugg · 04-28-2008, 11:37 AM

Found it - 100g = 3.52739 oz

1 oz = 28.3495g

mom276 · 04-28-2008, 11:39 AM

Kim- I still don't know how many I can eat?????????????

mom276 · 04-28-2008, 11:40 AM

Oh - is it 28? just re-read your post

mom276 · 04-28-2008, 11:41 AM

Hey kim- does that mean if I eat them it's only 1 gram of carb in 28 pieces or 3 something? I am so not w/it. Just wanna go home and go to bed. BY MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL

I'm confused! I don't net carb so I imagine you're right. I didn't check my can for fibre before i tossed it. I'll have to see if its still in the recycle bin tonight and check. Well if there's 5 carbs in my 50+ nuts, your 28 probably has 3

Yeah, you are right, i am seriously thinking about adding back fruit and whole grain...still nixing the sugar though, it's not for me..and not going to go whole hog on the carbs...still no white bread or pasta (well maybe on occassion) Mary...The "I can make you thin" thing really does work....if you make an effort when you eat at least, and not always grab something on the go, which is usually what I do (still eating PB out of the jar for breakfast here) The only time I really sit down to eat is when I go out...and I always do the putting the fork thing down and counting each bite...I works! Ok, so here is the new menu I am thinking of trying next week...let me know what you think... Breakfast- scrambled eggs Lunch- Tuna sandwich (on whole wheat bread made with fat free mayo) and an apple or mellon Dinner- lean cut of meat, either steak, chicken or maybe low carb pizza.. Snack....almonds or peanuts, maybe another piece of fruit... Well...what's the verdict?

It was the Planters salted ones. It's 5 carbs for 1/3 cup, so I pre-bagged it into little snack bags so I know that's all I can eat. Otherwise, I'd eat the whole can. I did the same thing with cashews but they're 11 carbs per baggie (I'll only eat those on occasion).

My can shows 4 carbs and 3 fibers, so that equals out to 1 carb, now that's only in 1 oz and the serving in the container is 8. So how many nuts would be in a serving?
