Aktkins Newbies? Any Freshly Started Inductions?

[DHoward12Fan]

just wanted to share this tidbit with you guys....

Pepperoni chips are GREAT for anyone who's craving "crunch".... take a microwaveable plate (I use paper because it absorbs the grease and draws it away from the pepperoni!) and put down a paper towel (also to help absorb the grease)... place a few pepperoni slices on the towel and cover with another towel... then nuke in the microwave for 2 minutes... let cool for a minute or two and toss out the greasy paper stuff and transfer the (now hardend) pepperoni chips on a plate. They're great for a bit of a crunch and as far as I can see there's very little carbs in them!

Enjoy!

you know when I was married my husband met a 24 year old girl and decided to leave me and our kids who were 3 and 5- I struggled for a long, long time with it but I keep thinking of the last conversation we had before he walked out the door and he said" look at you - you got fat and thats not part of our marriage agreement" Well needless to say I had gotten so sick over what he said and what he was doing to our family that I lost loads of weight and got thinner then when I walked down the isle - not cause I was trying but because I was so sick inside - When he saw me again he tried every way to get me to go back with him - why because I lost weight - what a shallow, shallow man. Im bringing this up only because sometimes I think I fall backwards because of those words. He came to see his daughters not long ago and said "so your fat again" and I said yea and your still ugly, I could lose the weight what can you do? I dont know why his words fuel me but its a good thing because it pushes me and I so need pushing!

Hello Ladies! Well I started re-induction on the 1st last week and was doing pretty good until Saturday night. I am a huge football fan and my team was killing me so my eating and stuff got out of hand and well I just gave in to temptation!! Anyway, I used to be on these boards a long while back like Tonya... (Hey girl~~ You knew I would have to come copy you after my messing up this weekend~~) I lost a nice amount of weight but over the summer I didnt care or well didnt bother and I gained a lot of it back and now I am sick! I know I need the motivation that LCF gives me, and Im glad I came back. Hopefully now I can stick to it and lose what I gained back and even more!!! So hopefully you guys wont mind me joining your thread!!

Heya ladies... I didn't do too great over the weekend, but am back on track.. I have been walking a minimum of 90 minutes a day and Saturday took a long walk.. I went to the L.A. county fair yesterday and sampled some really "bad" foods.. But walked around for over 8 hours, maybe 40 minutes of sitting time total in the day..

Next weekend I am not sure what I will be eating, because I will be at the mercy of other people for food.. I will be carrying lo-carb bars with me, so I know I can eat those and pick through the other foods for good proteins..

Hope everyone has a great week..

What a Grade "A" Jerk.... I hate people who try to excuse their own mistakes and insecurities by belittling others...Sounds like that is the type of person he is and you are so much better off without him. My sister's ex-husband was a lot like that and a very beautiful woman had lost most of her self-esteem by the time the divorce was final.

Lose the weight for you, because it makes you happy, healthy or whatever your motivation is right now... but don't give him the power to hurt you with his words or actions.

I second that!


Danceinn....you are so much better then what your ex would like to make you out to be. Forget that ass. Look you got your children and your life. Make everyday count...forget him. Why hun, cause in the end HE will be a MISERABLE ASS who's new THANG isnt doing it for him anymore.

Feel good about yourself..enjoy your time with your children and think of it this way, at least you dont have to deal with his negativity anymore.

BUT i just might talk myself out of it...maybe I can sneak some pork rinds in....lol.

That's a terrible story Danceinn. He's not really worth a minute of your thoughts, just think of how strong you are, raising HIS two babies by yourself. Losing the weight you want to will be a joke compared to that.

I did my measurements this morning and it's 2-1/2 inches off my waist and 1/2 an inch everywhere else. Ah, the inital loss of bloat, what fun! Still no scale until the 1st. I don't even know my beginning weight so I'll be basically 'starting' at that point. Which is fine with me.

Had eggs and bacon for breakfast. Have to bring my boy in for his pre-school checkup, yes I waited until the last second, why do you ask?

Its so funny how you go so long with someone, thinking you know them, always reassured that this person will never hurt you and then pow he is the one who hurt you the most....but you are so right his words can have no power with me ever again... thank you... now its time to focus!

[danceinn]

Thank you all so much for your replies...I say it to myself time and time again but you know, hearing it, reading it from all of you makes me so much stronger....Thank you!

Dhoward-
I love pepperoni chips too!!! I was just thinking about them yesterday! hahaha

[sobby1234]

Hello all how was your weekend? Mine was crazy!! My son came home from Camp Lejeune, NC for the weekend and then my sister in law showed up from Mississippi. SO, we had a house full this weekend. I did pretty well considering all the eating out we did...

But.... I do have news!!! I am down 10 pounds since the beginning of August!! I am so excited!!! I knew I had lost 7, because I went to the dr week before last but, Now I am down total of 10! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep up the great work!!!!!

Have a wonderful day!!!!

[danceinn]

Do you think this diet is ok for a 19 year old?

I think this is safe for a 19 yr old as long as they are being watched by a dr. Because they are still growing and still need vitamins etc.... that you are not getting with the low carbs, just ask your dr. and watch them..

Aside from me and my mister doing LC, My 11yro daughter who is considered overweight has been doing this in moderation. she is doing moderate carbs with more fresh fruit and tons of vegies. She decided that she does not want to snack on any unhealthy foods anymore and has even been having salad bar at her school for lunch everyday which gives a variety of proper food choices. Since we have started she has lost 6lbs. which is good. she was at 156 and now at 150. I would never allow her to eat extreme LC/VLC as I do....as I prepare all our meals according per person. I think its helped alot that I did away with all the no goods....no no foods well minus healthy treats, graham crackers yogurts stuff like that.


Oh btw my daughter is almost 5'7 and size 10 shoe...shes very tall for her age but only looks slight chunky. but for her age..even for her height she should be less. She is an aspiring basketball/volleyball player..

inches are just as good as lbs lost, if not better. going by lost inches is a very good thing. Im sure when u do finally weigh you will be surprised even though you do not where u started at.

[missgreeneyedenvy]

Ok ladies....my weekly weigh in is today. I am at 211 , Im so happy. This is now going into week 5 today. so in the last 4 weeks I have lost 16lbs. Not bad. and thats with 1 whole week of stall. probably could of been more lbs gone...lol....Im still happy. I might just be lower on oct.1st then I hoped for. Is it to late to change my goal??lol....

Keeping up with the LC/VLC. I eat more eggs,cheese and meats then anything. I cut out alot of veggies last week....and I have been drinking more green tea that has alot of healthy benefits to it. I just make it iced with a packet of splenda. Also albertson sells a liquid packet that is zero carbs. Its a lemon green tea flavor ...

Ok I will check in later....off to change my siggy.

[missgreeneyedenvy]

Good for you! Keep up the good work. I am one week behind you ... had a one week stall, and am hoping the weight goes down this week. I haven't actually gone down a size yet, but some of the clothes that were tight are feeling a little looser now....

Gotta go to "meet the teachers" tonight ... so better run! Hope everyone else is having a great day!

My ex, at one time, blamed ALL of HIS problems on MY weight. Little did I realize it was his own lack of self-esteem that caused that hurtful statement. I like your ugly comment to your ex!

[sourpeach]

Thanks Lawmom! Missed you guys too.. so glad I am back.. I feel at home here..

[vanilla_latte]

Hello ladies and any guys!

What a weekend!!!! Rehearsal dinner Friday went good and the wedding/reception was beautiful and fun! I barely ate a thing either day and ended up reaching my 10 lb. goal loss for the wedding. We had leftover food and cake for Labor Day, so I did partake of the cake. Got right back on Induction yesterday and will wait until Saturday to weigh. I may move on to OWL next week depending on Saturday's weight.

Breakfast today was my usual egg cream, lunch is a BLT salad and I think dinner will be sausage and eggs. Dessert will probably be a little cheesecake snack. Yummo!

Girl I am so sorry to hear that! Men can be such aholes sometimes. My husband when we first got married said he liked me with weight because there was less of a chance I would cheat on him. Yet I'm still married to him almost 15 yrs later.
You're beautiful no matter what girl, but if that drives you to lose the weight then you use it! Screw him...he'll be eating his heart out again before long!

My girl is back!
You go girl! Muah loves ya! We can do it Aud!

[gottalotagals]

Okay people it looks like we are doing awesome!

As far as me, I worked yesterday so as soon as I got home hubby had to rush to work so I couldn't get my bike riding in before he left. So it sucks to have missed a day, but 6 days a week will work. Believe it or not my legs are still sore from jogging the day before yesterday...it sucks being a fatty.
Eating wise I rocked! Barely consumed any carbs yesterday outside of cheese and a couple of diet caffeine free sodas. The rest was meat and this morning I was in heavy ketosis.
Scale didn't move but my scale is cheap. I had a nice glass digital one but dang thing was killing batteries every two days. Hmmm think it's time for a good one again.
I must get more water in today.
