Taking Charge & Stickin With It - Page 14

Hi everyone -
June what's in a protein shake?

I'm starving tonight for some reason. I think it's stress - I want to binge eat. I know if I started I wouldn't stop for a long, long time. That's why I came on here. I'm trying to distract myself.

I lost 15 lbs since last month at the doctor's so that's good. I tried South Beach but I was starving all the time. I guess I'm a no bread ever person. So now I'm trudging my way back to under 300 AGAIN.

Well, on the bright side of things, in 3 years since I've joined lowcarbfriends I've maintained my weight to between 300-324.

Did anyone see Tyra the other day with the obese teens? It made me sad.

hi all, Yesterday was not a good day.. I will try again today. I am finding doing LC this time is making me feel grumpy and tired.

My sis and my mom are on LC to . My mom has been on for weeks , she says that she has not loss any thing. I told her dont give up . I think she is not eating enough. As for my sis she just started back Yesterday.
Hugs to all

Diane... Jobs are no better here. But my bills are a lot lower.
June.. Thank you...

HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!
Sorry about wanting to binge Shelly but KUDOS to finding a distraction

JUNEBUG2 · 02-27-2009, 07:41 AM

Shelly, the protein shake is whey powder I bought at Samsclub. I add it to my morning coffee. It has 3 carbs per scoop. I use one scoop. 15 lbs is a good loss!!

Keep it up.

I am now the proud owner of another 3 lb loss. This plus what I gained over the week end is making me happy

could it be the shakes??

At any rate, I have a smile on my face. Another 3 lbs and I will be where I was before the horrible eating binge I had during the holidays. Its terrible that I keep doing this to myself. Everytime I get below 280 I seem to throw caution to the wind and EAT

I am headed to 265 and nothing is going to get in my way, I

Hope everyone has a great week end and keep it low carb. FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT the urge!!!

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Hi everyone....

Spring has almost sprung, and it's really got me contemplating doing low carb again. I think....... Don't know why I stress over it so much. Guess with all my health issues I get scared at what my Dr's say about it all. Screw them right? I don't know. I keep going back to Dr Atkins books and what he says and the battles he had about it all.

Since I last talked with you all, I had my gall bladder removed. Doc says it was because of all the fat I consumed on my low carb diet. I just don't know what to believe anymore I tell ya. My stroke was caused by low carb, now my gall bladder, whats next? Gotta die from something...right ?

I'm really thinking about getting back on board though.

Shamefully, I admit to you that I am right back where I started at 280 lbs. But I guess my Doc would say that was good for me though. But I do believe I am going to take the plunge once again. I still can't get on here as often as I would like, but you can count me in.

ttyl......Donna[/COLOR]

JUNEBUG2 · 03-02-2009, 10:41 AM

Hey Donna, good to see you!!

Jazlyn · 03-02-2009, 11:25 AM

Here's how it went with my weight loss coach. She is my son's friend's mother. I have never really met her even though my son and her son have been friends for years and they live near us.

She lost 180 lbs all on her own. She showed me some before pics and I couldn't believe it. She looks soooo much younger.

I have to change my whole way of thinking. She said to change a little at a time. Eat what I want but eat less. Get up and move even if it's 5 minutes. I always thought..tomorrow I'll eat 5 carbs, exercize an hour, drink 5 gallons of water etc. Then I would pig out because I was starting tomorrow after all. I always set my expectations too high and then couldn't do it.

I have lost 10 lbs but I don't know how much since I went to see her last Monday, since I haven't weighed for 3 weeks or so.

I am going to go see her once a week. Last week was just a free consultation so I'm sure there is a lot more she is going to teach me. She is giving me quite a big discount because my husband always sells tires to them at cost and he let's her son use his equipment to put them on. He also lets her son work with him when he is laid off and needs money.

My son's basketball practice is close to her office so I can just drop him off and go see her. It will work out well.

One more thing she told me is to eat breakfast and exercize within an hour of getting up and then eat every 3 hours.

JUNEBUG2 · 03-02-2009, 03:29 PM

Sounds like a good plan Jaz. Keep us informed and I say wonderful on the 10lb loss

This was my scale routine...sneak up on it, talking nicely to it then step on it ever so lightly with one foot then gradually step on with the other foot, then pray!!!! oy the things we do.

Sneak up on it..!! I flick the light on in the bathroom in the morn and I surprised mine

You know Houston Rodeo is a big deal when the kids get a day off from school!!! Big Trace Adkins fan, although I like his ballads more than his silly songs.

haha I liked his silly songs... But.. I am kinda a closet comedian anyway...sooo...

Quote:

I think the suite sounds like FUN...just keep your goals in mind Jarrod..maybe eat before you go and NO BEER...you know it won't be worth it..think of all that time you spend in the gym...and you see what happened to those guys on Biggest Loser...they cheated and drank, and didn't lose too much. Maybe you will get to meet Lisa Hartman too.... Can't wait to hear all about it.

WHAT..??? are you crazy..!!?? pass up on free bbq... haha I WILL be good..
watch what I can eat....and no sauce.... and I will have 1 beer only ( light beer )
and ALWAYS the whooole time be thinkin of what is right ( and NOW will be haunted
the whole night by your words ....wait... those are words of encouragement...ok..
nevermind... I will be "fondly" thinking of your words while I am there....

ya know...I am not sure if I wanna see Clint.... I am watchin the Celebrity Apprentice
and he is on there...and he is kinda a jerk....no one really likes him much...haha...
