Mrs. Leake

what day of the week do you weigh in... I used to do Monday... but others do Wednesday... so I changed my date to Wednesday...

I said date/time... because I know some weight monthly or at the end of a time period... some... the scale is discouraging... I wish I had done my measurements in the beginning... I didn't... still haven't... I need to do it...

Mrs. Leake - Welcome!! Congrats on your progress so far!

I had a panic attack, first ever, at work last Thursday and left early to go to Dr. He put me on Ativan and that stuff has knocked me for a loop! All I did was sleep! Went to the Dr yesterday again to see if I could get a diff drug, because the ativan is nuts! He prescribed me lowest dosage .5 and I was halfing the pills and still slept for 14-18 hours a day! He didn't give me new drugs, just told me to take a quarter of the pill instead of half.

So not much else has changed. I havent lost or gained. Guess thats a plus, wasnt able to drink all the water I needed to and I even ate a piece of pizza. But I am back on track again, drinking all the water I should these past 2 days. Started working out today with Richard Simmons. OMG I am out of shape! Will probably be sore as heck tomorrow! But I did work out, so thats a plus and I am still in ketosis, so maybe it will start to come off again. The Dr said my blood sugar is doing so good on this diet, so there is another reason to stay on track. (oops, I said the diet word)

Well, just wanted you all to know, I am still here, plugging along and ready to get serious again. I can't believe all that time that I wasnt cooking for myself, I still stayed pretty much on track. Great job hubby for making me salads and eggs and bacon and stuff like that.

Well just wanted to check in with you all, I bet you thought I had given up on this! Talk to you all soon.

Dissie, hope you're feeling better. I didn't check in here for a few days, so I just read this. What a sweet husband you have! Let us know how you're doing.

Welcome to CourtneyC and Mrs.Leake!

Missy, I'm sorry, but I missed the 15th weigh-in day. Put me down for 10.8 pounds lost on the 15th, will ya. That is, if we are still doing that.

I've been away all week due to being overly tired and from being disheartened for the body not dropping any weight. I'm still holding true to my WOE and the scale has started to move again.

Can't stay and catch up on everything and everyone, but I hope you peeps are doing well.

Stay true.

morning all!

rough weekend, ate on plan except for Saturday night...it was expected, but still disappointing that there just weren't any more options. so, of course I'm up from last week's weigh-in, but I'm hoping lots of water today & tomorrow will help flush that meal and salt out.

welcome to ev1 I haven't met...I look forward to getting to know each & every one of you!!

stay on plan today!!!

[azbarb]

new "losers"

According to the scale I'm still at 10lbs. lost. Induction is done but I think DH and I are going to stay pretty close to it. I told myself I 'd start exercise at 10lbs. so I guess I better get walking!

have a healthy day!

Mornin everyone! My scale hasn't moved for a while... I think i'm going to try Atkins 72 for a while (versus DANDR). I need something simple right now and I think this should help. I need to exercise more, my gym membership is for Tues/Thurs/Sat/Sun so today I might have to go take a power walk around the mall or WalMart (it's freezing cold outside).

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Hi All! Mind if I join your group? I know it's a little late but I just got restarted again yesterday.

OK, here's my little story...I started Atkins in June 2002 at 291 lbs. I did very well (for me) and within a year or so was down to 201. Since then I've tried to stay low carb but got caught up in all the "low carb" products that were on the market and am now back to 235. I also went back to a pretty "inactive" lifestyle and started working night shift again. (Working nights really messes with your metabolism!)

I started strict Atkins again yesterday and went to the gym (curcuit training type). I'm putting everything into FitDay to keep track, trying to drink water, which I hate!, I'm going to start a day shift mid-February, which should help, and have promised myself that I'm going to get this weight off this year, enough messing around!!!!

GOOD TO HAVE YOU CARRIE...

[Jennifer]

Carrie!

everyone!

Yesterday:
B - fax muffin w/sugar free Twist, coffee
L - Bubba burger w/mayo, mustard
D - chili, salad
132 oz water, 1 can Tab, 1/2 tall s/f mocha breve from Starbucks

[heidiheidi]

still no lose for me, but no gain, so there you go...

[behind_the_mask]

Hello again everyone! I am BACK... I was on a very long hiatus during Christmas and my Birthday, but today is my restart date and I am committed to really sticking to the lc lifestyle NO MATTER WHAT!!! Plus, my hubby and I are so sick of how we feel (sick!) from all of the holiday treats, comfort foods, fast food, etc. that we've been eating the past month. We ARE READY to become healthier! Anyway, I STILL hope to lose 100lbs by Nov. of 2008, which just means I have no room for excuses!

I'm encouraged by how well you all are doing! Keep it up!

Hi & to the new peeps!

Been really sick with something awful. Just a quick check in for weigh~in day:208.8. Down 1.2 this week. Not the usual but it sounds good to me right now. I really did not expect to lose anything with the way Ive been eating. LC soup (full of sodium),nuts,less water and more diet soda and lots of cheese,cream and just an all around too much amount of legal foods. Not sure if I was trying to eat things to actually find a food I can taste while being sick or if I wanted the comfort from them.
Hope yall are feeling better than me.

Hello everyone! I'm going to start posting my menus to help me keep fitday updated (and to keep myself more accountable). If anyone has any comments or suggestions, please let me know!

B - Egg and Turkey burger on an oopsie roll
S - LC Monster
L - 1 cup salad with leftover salmon, 1/2 turkey burger
D - Garlic shrimp and 1 cup of salad

64 ounces water

Totals: Cals 1113, Fat 59, Carbs 15, Protein 126.

How's this look? (I'm going more off of 72 than DANDR.)

I can usually drink 100+ ounces of water/day but today it seemed like I was forcing it. Hopefully that wont continue to happen.
