Kilos 4 Life week of Sept 18th

[Melly]

Welcome to a new week Kilos!!!!!

This is gonna be quick becasue I have to go over to the hospital. We were on our way home from church this morning and got a call that my grandmother fell....she is 88 and is losing her eyesight We had to call an ambulance because she wasn't able to put any weight on her leg at all....pray that nothing is broken.

I have not got my walk in yet today but I will. Aliyah is feeling much better. She went with me to a wedding last night that was out of this world. It was at a private country club and the wedding was outside by a waterfall poolside......it was beautiful. There were hor'duerves (dayum I know I didn't spell that right) and for dinner prime rib and shrimp...it was first class and the absolute nicest wedding I have ever been to.

Well thats all I have for now....need to get to the hospital with my momma and everyone else and check on my grandma

[Melly]

Dang I hope this isn't a sign of the week to come.......I don't know about everyone else but I need the support this week.....I hope someone shows up soon

[that1redhead]

Melly - hows grandma? I hope there is nothing broken.

I am having a boring night.

[Melly]

OK nothing is broken on my grandma.....but they put her ankle in an air cast and sent her home with both a wheel chair and a walker. Please pray for her. We have been in the process of moving her from 90 miles away to the city I live in and she was to stay her first night in her new place tomorrow. Needless to say that is not going to happen. I hope this does not prolong her staying in her place for long because until then she is with my mother and my poor mama needs a break.

I got my walk in tonight.....4 days in a row of clean eating and walking 2 1/2 miles a day......

Melly... saying prayers for your grandmother... I hope she recovers very quickly... poor thing!!! I hope your little girliegirl is doing better also... and you too.. I know you were feeling sick as well.. prayers going up for quick healing!!

Tony, Tony, Tony... You are doing very well hun... good to see it! You are really working on your goals... good for you!!!

Red... your night get any better? I hope so!!

Gettenthere... Hows it going sweetie? Its always good to see ya post!

As for me...

Last night I ate some things I probably shouldn't have.. but my head said.. go ahead and eat it... Granted it was lowcarb... but products... I need to stay away from products since when I eat them I just maintain and not lose. But I went to the movies with my friend Karen .... I have been stuck on the couch for so long between the surgery and wreck, (about 6 weeks!!) its been driving me nuts so when Karen called last night I said why not.. I took my muscle relaxer... skipped my pain pill so it wouldn't put me to sleep and she and I went to see "Just like heaven" OMG... GREAT movie... Anyway... I ate these protein bites (0 carbs) and they were good and also had some cashews... I guess it could be worse.. Karen sat next to me with a bowl of gummy worms and hersheys kisses.. I suppose that ketosis kept me from leaning over to her and say hey, I want some of THAT. Which is a good thing... I also had diet rootbeer so needless to say... no loss today and it appears I am up a half pound... probably water gain from the products... I was glad to get back home afterwards though cuz my neck/back was killing me and all I could think about was taking my meds and relaxing.. its much better now. As long as I am on the meds I can function so thats a good thing.

Today so far I am eating a lowcarb breakfast bowl (eggs, sausage, bacon, cheese) It is way yummy and I don't feel like I am missing anything... so no cravings right now which is good. Don't you just love ketosis??

Anyway... I will report later on what else I eat for the day.

Hi every one
Mandy I'm sooooooooooo sorry hun
my are with the whole family at this difficult time especially the little ones
I think I've already explained but the reason I switched to the fat fast is 2 weeks on induction gave me just a few ounces. I have'nt weighed yet but will after day 5 wish me luck lets see if this will break the stall.
Cardo from your mouth to God's years wish I had melted a way
Melly and for grand ma.
Today is day 3 of my fat fast I had 2 hard boiled yolks with 2tsp mayo and will have 3 servings of yocheese will have 2L of greeen tea and try to get 3L of water
excersise 4 mile WATP with 3lb weights and what ever I can do of the 8min taebo its a killer
Yesterday was my 2nd day of fat fast why did it feel like the 3rd day
did my 4 mile WATP with no weights and no taebo would you believe I was sleep walking through the whole work out I had to push push push I will do the fat fast (1000 cal) for 5 days then switch to 1200 calories.
Cheri can you tell me why my keto sticks never change since I first started Atkins
Cheri take it easy hun give your body time to heal
been very busy but will post as often as possible Dano you'll be happy to know I have uped my carbs in the fat fast. Sinny thanks will check in on Banta.
sorry for not mentioning every one by name but love you all take care
gettenthere

Just about out the door here to head home for the day! Melly, I'm sorry about your grandmother and I hope she heals up quickly, glad your daughter is on the mend! How are YOU holding up, oh middle generation?

Cheri, glad you got out to see a movie, after being at home for so long that must have felt "Just Like Heaven!" I wouldn't sweat some protein bites and cashews, and what's with the hourly weigh ins? Glad you said no to the snowcaps! Oh wait, snow caps are MY weakness <chuckle>

Crado, great job of goal setting (lots of detail) and follow through! You've really done a remarkable job getting your life under control and I admire you for it. You've also single handedly made us all fluent in Australian!

getten, I hope the fat fast works to help you get 'moving' again! I will say that the keto sticks never turned for me, the whole time I was losing. Some people say it's because you're drinking the right amount of water and it dilutes the ketones... who knows! Don't sweat it though.

As for me, eating has been on plan so far today, if I can finish it up with a nice salad for dinner and some chicken wings during the game I'll feel successful. I went roller blading at lunch time, I still wish I was better at it but I guess I haven't been on them much this summer so... I get what I deserve

OK, going to head out now... Dawna, where are you? That1redhead... what a boring post! <chuckle> Oh, and keep Mandy in your thoughts, I think she needs us kilos! Oh, and Mimi too, she's a kilo even if she doesn't check in daily like she's s'posed to...

MIA....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Heffa!!

I know I have been MIA and I have a good reason...REALLY!!

What should have been my last mammogram before being declared an official survivor did not go as planned I have been busy with blood work and needle biopsies. I just got the results back this morning and all is well...there were a couple of small cysts in the scan and needless to say my world came to a screeching halt! I did not want to have to post what was going on over and over again while not sure myself so I just stayed away...forgive me??

As a result of the stress...just a bit I sort of caved (first time ever on this WOL) and found myself up by about 6 lbs...I am happy to report that it is all gone now and I am back to my standard 152...apparently that is where I'm gonna stay. I have never "cheated" as I don't believe there is such a thing but I did throw the rules out the damn window!! I have decided to do induction again and play by the rules this time (instead of doing it my way) and see if I can't get past that point.

Please feel free to share this PM with the board...I will be back soon. I miss everyone and I know I will be appropriately chastised for my absence when I return.

Love ya!!!

[Bubba (New Orleans)]

Hi Everyone, just got my internet back yesterday, don't understand it tho, I have home phone, cable, and internet all with the same company and same line, but only internet is up.

I live 15 miles from New Orleans and we got some very bad winds, never saw so many poles and trees down. Had very little damage to my house, very lucky. I had three huge trees in my yard get up rooted, been dealing with that and have about three more hours and they will be done ,

I really miss talking with every one, I did some reading on the bb and see everyone posting and you all are doing great,

I saw how you all were worried and it really touched my heart thank you. I got a few phone calls from you all and it was great to hear from everyone. Thanks Shelly, MiMi, and Cheri. Dano, I just got your pm to come up there for the storm, thanks so much, I wrote down your number and if you ever want to call you can get mine from one of the girls above. Our cell phones are not working great now get alot of different messages, but are getting better ever day.

We are so lucky compared to new orleans, so close and the amount of damage is like day and night. I pray every day for a few things, and one of them is for the people affected in new orleans.

I took today off had alot of comp. time on the books and had some things to do, you all take care of yourselfs and I wish you all the best.

[Melly]

Great to see you back online and posting in the Kilo thread......I'm glad to hear that your home was spared. No mention about your WOE....how is that going? From what I have heard about the conditions anywhere in that area shopping is hard. I hope things continue to get better for you....Welcome back

[DawnaG]
