LOSING IT TOGETHER" **WEIGHT** in 2008--2nd Quarter

[gettinserious]

I have been BUSY the last couple of days. Baking cakes for my lil man. He turned the big 5 yesterday.

I did decent with regards to goodies. Working The Beck Solution and counting calories has been working out for me. I eat WAY less of stuff I normally would eat a ton of. I am loving this plan. And I can do it for life, because 1700 calories is alot and I rarely get that unless I am eating REALLY fatty food like bacon.


I hear we had an earthquake here this morning around 5:30 am. I never felt a thing. lol. So I have no idea why everyone is bugging out, cause it must not have been that bad.

Arlene, Heidi and anyone else having a rough time of it - Please don't beat yourself up too much about what you are/aren't eating. First of all, it does no good. We all have to remember that if we're not in the right "head space" we're only going to harm ourselves by trying to force it because then we feel like we've failed, so what's the point, eat, eat, eat. It's a viscious cycle I tell ya. We all know what to do, it's just a matter of getting our head straight to do it. Instead of beating yourself up over having "failed" again, use all that energy getting yourself ready to succeed!

heidi - So glad those spots weren't cancerous

HT - You poor thing! I have room if you wanna run away from home

<------ is packing her bags to go to Jenn's for the weekend!!!

[Hot Tamale]

This has been a really bad week for me. Only good news is I got back on the wagon yesterday and I am still on today. Not having reflux is, by itself, reason enough to stay low-carb...

[heidiheidi]

tamale

I did well today, aside form too much coffee

egg & teeny bit of ham

salad with reasonable amount of bleu cheese & turkey, EVVO & lemon

turkey burger & steamed broccoli


tons of coffee with 1/2 & 1/2

Happy Saturday everyone! I'm up early this morning to go into town to do some grocery shopping, I'm running low on my low carb goodies. This afternoon I will be working in my garden. I may just count that as my workout for the day. I really wanted to sleep in this morning but couldn't so I may sneak a nap in later today lol.

[dixichic]

Good Morning All!

Saturday and I want to be sleeping but have much to do!
You know the usual house keeping junk!
My day looks LC wise looks like this:

B- 2 sausage patties, 1 egg, 1 slice cheese all scrambled together
L- Bacon cheese burger , pickle
D- fried chicken strips, shredded chedder on bed of lettuce w/ tomato and onion, ranch

I may make some cheese cake muffins this am to store for later or for breakfast tomorrow.

NIKKI...I wish I had a garden. I grew up with a garden every year, we were a large family and that what fed us all. But I can not have one where I live now.

Oh well y'all have a great day today!
Edna

[heidiheidi]

it is SNOWING, OMG! how eird is that for Portland?? yikes!

up with the chickens with my 3 year old this morning, drinking the coffee & s/f gingerbread syrup from starbucks, my new addiction

[Hot Tamale]

No snow here...just finished going swimming with my little ones.
They are driving me koo-koo - hope the swimming means they'll take a nap soon.
I need to clean my bedroom.
3rd day of back-on-track, although the cravings are REALLY bad!!
I'm doing pretty good, however. No cheats. What is the point of cheating...
Just wish I could have some pizza, cake, and ice cream...

[Coriander]

Have a good day and to you all

[Coriander]

Good Morning everyone,

I am soooo sick this morning. I woke up Sunday with an elephant on my chest and now my throat feels like I swallowed fire! I will be off the Dr. this am! Man, I feel like crap.

However, I did not waiver from my strict atkins induction regimen!

Sunday was:
B- 2 sausage patties scrambled w/ 1 egg and 1 slice cheddar w/ 1 tbsp onion tossed in
L- 1 burger pattie w/ 2 slices bacon 1 slice cheddar and salad with ranch dressing
S- 1 cheesecake muffin
D- 2 hot dogs 1 carb total, stir fried cabbage
S- 1 additonal hot dog later that night

I don't usually eat hot dogs but these were less than 1 carb each so, I thought I would try them. OM brand.

Today looks like this.

B- crepes with whipped cream filling and strawberries ( i know strawberries are not REALLY induction but they are very low carb, so I am eating them!)
L- tuna salad on bed of lettuce w/ ranch
D- grilled pork chops, w/ stir fried cabbage
S- if needed, cheesecake muffin or slice of cheese

Some days I eat a snack or two, others I don't. I was feeling so bad yesterday, that I had 2. I hate that but I am an emotional eater and always will be. BUT at least my snacks were on plan!

Hope everyone has a great day!
Catch up to you all later in the day!
Edna

Good morning friends! Dixiechick I hope you start feeling better soon! Today is my wiegh in and I lost 6.4 lbs this week.

[JUNEBUG2]

Morning Everyone I hear birds singing and its going to be a beautiful day in the neighborhood.. Weighed this morning and I am down 2 lbs!!
I have been eating clean, watching everything that goes in my mouth..I did eat a bit more yesterday of broccoli casserole and couple spoons of peanut butter. Other than that I have been clean eating, keeping it below 20 carbs.

Carol, I believe the article is right. I have been adding exercise to my day. Very slowly, but I am adding it. We have started the pool clean up and I am going to jump in as soon as the weather permits. I have a pool buddy, I turn 50s and 60s music on and round and round the pool we walk. Most days it was 2 hrs couple it was longer. That did the most for our bodies. Less stress on our joints!!

Hope everyone has a good low carb day. I think weighing once a week is better for me.

[JUNEBUG2]

WOW!!!!! NIKKI, THAT IS GREAT!!!!!!

[dixichic]

Good job Nikki and Junebug! I will weigh in at the Dr. this am.
Then at least I will have a starting place. I do not have a scale so I don't know where I started 10 days ago but MY 16yr old DD says my belly is shrinking!
That's always a plus!

[heidiheidi]

good morning friends!
hooray for you gals that have lost!!!

JUNE!!!!
hooray for Carol's posts!

I did better yesterday and hope to have a positive week.
I think I will be able to get back to my regular walking routine at long last, tonight my husband comes back, so I will be freer to get out and about. did a teeny mini walk with Freyja with me last night, she did pretty well for such a tiny person

[RenoMom]

Morning Ladies! I am back in full swing today! I will eat LC and watch my portions. I will take a walk and get this fat azz moving. LOL Actually my azz is the only thing thats not fat. I am going to the store and gettting some low carb foods to last for a day or two until I can sit down and make out a list. I will not be monitering veggies that much but thats it.
I have to lose and take it one day at time. Today I WILL be a sucess.

I have to run for now, Ill post later.

Niki WTG you rock!!!
