Dr Robert Atkins DANDR' Climbing The Ladder/ UD~DD

[Bridget69]

Hi Marylouise (is it supposed to be all one word?)

1) No I don't know who Bedford Forrest is...Who is he?

2) On the family hisory thing...my uncle Donald is an amateur geneologist and he has traced the Irish and Scots roots back to the homeland. Someday I want to visit both Scotland and Ireland. And I fly all the time...including one 25 hour flight to Indonesia.

3) I have NOT put CO in my coffee yet...someone on another thread asked me that. I never thought of it before. I have cooked with CO and used it on skin & nails...but I never knew it was such a ***Hip*** thing until I started hanging out on this forum. Perhaps I should try it. Do you use it instead of cream?

Have a goodnight...I'm off to glance around a bit before hitting the hay

[sweetlady2k]

Hi everyone! Getting ready for a relaxing day off tomorrow! One more day of work! I also get the kerrygold butter but I get my store brand salted butter too. It is almost as good. The kerrygold is the best butter EVER! But it is pricey so we save it for good dinners. I sautee alot of onions and bell peppers and mushrooms for different dinners and either kind of butter really makes them delish.
ebeads where are you?? My juddd is going pretty steady right now, im not reall losing or gaining at this point but I have been so busy at work and home I have been slacking on tracking my calories. Kids got progress reports yesterday and my little guy is struggling. He is waiting for the psychiatrists appointment to do the formal ADHD test. His primary doctor thinks he has it for sure and I and his teachers do as well but they have to test him. That poor boy cannot sit still or focus at all. It is really frustrating doing homework with him but I try to be patient. Hopefully they can help him to focus at school. I don't want him behind and struggling his whole time at school. He's very bright and eager to please so I don't think its him being bad he just can't help it. Anyway alot of drama going on right now so I just have to keep doing what I can.

Good morning Bridget

Well yea but it is so long everyone just says ml mostly. I have had a time with my name all of my life. I love it but it is hard for most to understand I am not Mary. I am Marylouise. I even have a middle name. It starts with an S. I just use it when I sign things. Mama was very inventive. Like my sisters name, Nathleen. We see Cathleen, Kathleen, and a few other leens, put you want run into too many Nathleen's. Our bio-dad named her after one of his girl friends.

The problem I have with flying is the coming down. It would make me feel like I was dying. I can not stand the old elevators. They make me feel like I am falling to my death.

Yes going to Ireland would be way cool. But I know I will never see it.

Bedford Forrest was someone from the Civil war. He has a statue in Memphis. I have ancestors that fought by his side. He is not important. But his statue has caused many problems in Memphis.

The good coconut oil is wonderful in coffee. No I use cream with it or drink it with either or and both. I love hwc. I drink one to two cups a couple times a day with co, hwc and a few drops of Stevia. all the rest I drink is black.

Fat burns fat, to a point. This is the way I feel about fat. And our brains do need small chain fatty acids. To get into ketosis, one has to NOT but any carbohydrates into their body. You must be as zero carb as one can biologically be. Carbs are really in almost everything we eat and drink. Tracking food shows you that fact.

I put sugar in the tracker too. Keeping it as low as possible.

I waited too late last night to enter my intake from yesterday. I must go do that asap. I'm trying my very best to pre-plan all intake. Sometimes it is simply too hard to do.

Hi Shanan, I am so sorry to hear about your son. Have you ever tracked his blood sugar?
One of my grandson's has the same kind of problems. He has a blood sugar problem too. I have stuck all of the older grandkids and found that this one grandchild has high numbers. High and lows can cause this attention problem too. Just wanted to tell you.

I am still loving UD / DD!!!!! Losing too!

Hi ebeads,
Love that picture!
It is so cute.
You are so good at finding the neatest picts!
How are you doing?

[Annabel Lee]

Hi Shanan,
How are you?
I had the same problems with my son.
For him elementary school was like putting a race horse in a class room and expecting it to sit still and pay attention. He is wired to move. He is in college now and able to concentrate and better than I every could! I wish you the best working through this.

[marylouise]

Cathleen it's is great to see you here!!

Love your picture!!!

Cathleen, hi and glad to see you here. Love the pic as always. Wow you have lost a lot proud of your accomplishment

SL my oldest daughter has a learning disability. Fortunately I am a special education teacher so could help her. She made it through three years of college and quit.

Hi Heather, hope all is going well

Hi Bridget I don't think we have met.

I don't have time yet to read back posts. Hopefully later. Still doing FIL house. Ed putting in flooring today. Furniture almost painted. Good thing DH knows how to do it all. Only problem is he was just getting ready to start the last room in our house so now that's on hold .

ML you are really doing well did you ever think you could eat other foods besides protein. I haven't been off plan but not logging food just being careful and guesstimating kcals . I can't believe I haven't binged and we have been eating out a lot too. Back to cooking today for sure. Did a huge marketing Sun

On cell phone do apologies for errors

Love and hugs to all

Linda No I really thought I would be on meat, eggs and cheese the rest of my life! Keeping my kcals and protein down is really that magic KEY for me!! So glad and happy you are doing good on plan. I never would have believed it was the high protein that was messing me up! Keeping everything on one line because I don't know how cell phones work on here. You have made me very happy today. Seeing you here is great. Cathleen too! How did you lose your first post??

[Annabel Lee]

I lost my post too!!!!!!
I had all my stats on it!!!!
I will be reposting!!

[marylouise]

YAll That does happen. It has been doing it too me all over the forum. Copy your post into your mouse before you post so if you do lose it you can paste it to another posting....It is a hiccup. The solar flares or a what-ever can make this happen. I promise, it is true....

I am still in a state of shock I am losing like this! SOOOOOO HAPPY TOO!!!!

Portion control!!!!!

Limit protein

Limiting kcals!

And cycling kcals!!!!!!

It works. It really works!!!

[Annabel Lee]

Hi Linda,

It is so nice to hear from you!
I sure hope your FIL is doing OK.

Marylouise all your chicks are coming home!!!
You are so diligent with your eating and recording!
You are doing amazingly well.
We had a chalenge going didn't we?
I got so derailed that I have lost track.


I have my stats for yesterday

calories 1,221
Fat 107.4 g
Carb 6.9 g
protein 56.7G

Fat 78%
Protein 20%
Carbs 2%

The protein is a litter higher that I want but we did have steak for Sunday dinner.
I was down an other pound this morning...not virgin weight but I am getting there.
Lower protein and higher fat is starting to work for me at this stage of my weight loss.

It was a good weekend!
So glad to have my husband home!
It was just nice to spend time sitting next to each other.

Heather I love your siggy!

How many ounces of steak did you eat?
Does you calculator not give sugar too?
I have never went to ******. LCF does offer their own calculator now. I tried to use it but I do NOT use facebook. So I could not sign up in it.
I do not know FD offer's.

For losing a pound!!!

Yes we do have that challenge...I did not forget

It was first 7, I think..............I am ahead a little. You can catch up very easily and pass me so fast you will kick up dust, kicking that fluff to that CURB!

I do love ******.
I do have a facebook account but I have not used it in years.
It is too complicated to close it!!!
I did not know ****** needed facebook to work. I guess I am glad I couldn't get out of FB!!

I looked for info on sugar on ****** but they do not show it!
I don't eat any of the white stuff so I don't really worry about it but I can see how it would be nice to know, especially when you start eat fruit again.

I had 5 oz. of steak with herb butter that I made.
It was amazingly delicious! Love, Love, Love, this way of eating!!!!!

Oh dear I am late to pick up my daughter!
By for now!
