Wooo hoooo! I'm feeling good about July! Finally made it to my second week on Induction.... I'm certainly feeling better, my energy is up, my cravings are down, and my clothes are feeling better. My boyfriend is still on the diet which is surprising lol.... but a great thing for me! His biggest problem is not being able to drink more non-water drinks.... he keeps telling me if he cheats it will be with iced tea or lemonade. He's in block construction so he's convinced he needs those powerade drinks since it's so hot out. He used to come home and tell me water wasn't cutting it.... that he was getting sick from the water lol.... by the end of the week though he was singing a different tune.... I think it was all mental. Anyway, we are coming home from an errand yesterday afternoon and he turns to me and said: "So in summation, I can never have popcorn ever again?" HAHAHAHAH men are so funny.... like of all the things to be upset about cutting from your diet, you choose popcorn???? I explained all about maintenance and that he probably will enjoy popcorn from time to time just not ALL THE TIME.


Anyway, TOM is gone so I'm hoping to step up the exercise to see if that makes the difference in my 170 plateau (and this cellulite that keeps creeping up on me). I'm not at that weight again yet but only time will tell!

Mydear, I've said it many times before.... your such an inspiration in your unfailing devotion to the diet and to your exercise!

Happy losing!!!!

July 1 203.5 - July GOAL 188

Really messed up this weekend, hopefully didn't do a lot of damage though, am up a couple of pounds since Friday....Back on plan though today. Could really tell I had carbed it up yesterday when I tried to wake up this morning, felt like I had been drugged. Hate that feeling of carb overdose!

[Kristall]

I'm up for the challenge!

Goal 259

[drdrew]

sueshe, another missourian here. south east has some beautiful topography as well.

[mydear]

so nice to be here with all of you, and welcome to all the new posters. i read somewhere about a golden shot while low carbing. so i'm giving it all i got. plus i really need to get use to eating this way for my health. i know that ahead i will be facing some obstacles with 8 birthdays coming up during the summer, and 2 BBQ holidays, but i'm making myself strong now. i'm changing the way i feel and think about food. i'm learning to eat to live. i'm not hanging on to the next meal. i dont think about food all day any more. i stopped thinking about what i'm going to eat and started thinking about what i'm not going to eat. i'm not going to eat cake, ice cream, potatoe salad, macaroni salad, nothing with BBQ sauce, nothing floured coated and i dont drink. but i'm going to every party & picnic and i'm going to have fun.

Hi all,

I have never done a goal weight challenge so I would like to join you! I think I could lose 10 lbs so my goal is:

179.9! I wanna see the 70's again!

Good luck all!

[nmcowgurl]

Lets see today 234.8

goal july 31-224.8

[dsalazar4]

7/2 244.8

I am up 2 pounds too. Ate at a buffet on Sunday. Didn't eat potatoes or bread or dessert. Did eat breaded fish fillets and salad with there salad dressing so maybe thats the culprit. I did start water aerobics this morning so that should help.

[Bellanight2010]

Didn't quite make my June goal but that is okay. I did lose (2lbs...geez) and that is the important thing (so I keep repeating)!

MyDear - We have close to the same goal! I know we can do it!!

July Goal: 266

7/1: 276.4
7/2: 276.2

What is a golden shot?

I have never done a challenge either. Hopefully this can get me out of the dreaded third week stall!

Hi

I'm new here (I read a lot, rarely post) but am liking this board much better than the one I did post on. That board has too much advertisement and it was hard to keep track of conversations. Anyway, my goal for this month is 257 (weird number, but it's the weight I was when I got released from the hospital in February).

from what i've read it's staying on plan, no cheats, only eating what atkins allows on whatever phase you are on. it warned that if you go off plan too often your cravings will come back and it will be very hard to get back into the swing of things. losing the Golden shot.... i believe it.... i've been on this plan a few times. it worked as long as i was true to the plan, but when i started planning cheats, having slip-ups, and tweeting the plan, it was very hard for me to get back on plan and stay on it . this plan works for me. i've lost weight on other plans. but they dont fit right. i would count cals and eat only carbs and sweets, i would do WW and be hungry all day. i also did the diabetic diet, but didn't do well with portion control. this plan works for me. this is what i need to do to lose weight and keep my blood sugar under control. i've come to terms with it. i accept it. and i'm learning to love eating this way. i dont feel like i'm missing anything that i havn't had too much of anyway. i remember about 10 yrs after i stopped drinking, they came out with wine coolers, oh... i wanted one so bad. but i had to remind myself how hard it was to stop drinking and that it wasn't worth going through that again for one bottle of cheap wine. so i let it go and didn't put myself through the misery again. i'm going to be pulling on that same strength to kick my carb addiction and stay clean.
