I'm not even going to say what I ate, but let's just leave it at the fact that it was BAD. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad! I am so angry and just discouraged and just UGH!!!!!! I prepped an entire week's worth of LC meals tonight (WHILE I was eating the crap!!!! ), so I know that will keep me on track. I don't know what the hell gets into me! It's like I can't stop meself or talk meself out of it!

Well best wishes for a good night everyone, and great job to everyone who actually stayed on plan (unlike me! )!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL report tomorrow with a better report. I need to find better skills to A) cope with me cravings, and B) cope with the stress in me life that triggers those cravings.

That is ridiculous! Me calories are still less than 1400/day, and me carbs are under 30! I feel like this WOE isn't working!!!! I don't know if it is just water weight gain or what! Me rings don't even fit me today! I don't know what is going on! So I bought the Raisin Bran cereal, and me friend brought me over strawberries and grapefruit. Oh man, I wish I could eat it. What's hard is that the one time when I was 7 and 1/2 stone (that's 105 pounds I believe which admittedly waaaaaaaay too skinny), I was eating 2 grapefruits a day and cereal and stuff like that. I just want to eat it. I don't know where me will power went.

Oh god, what should I do?

I agree with Lei, this is just water weight. Watch your salt. Just keep chuggin girl and it will come off.

I have been so bad lately about cheating
Yesterday
Breakfast: tried to have protein shake but my powder expired and I just bought it the day before . I returned it last night and have new
However my daycare parents bought donuts again and I ate a longjohn

Lunch Spinach chicken salad (yummy!

dinner: Steak, Salmon, roast, small amt each on 1 plate (Buffet)
and those damn 4 cookies again

Needless to say I'm lucky my weight is the same. I figured I'd have a gain so I'm very happy with the same. My butt will be at the gym tonight working extra hard. I'll be missing again this weekend Friday and Saturday. Im going camping/canoeing. Should be nice workout.

Good luck on your weigh ins everybody

Weigh in-197, down 3.

Coming here and being accountable has made a difference. Guess I'll go another week. Have a good day.

SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 135 today...really up a pound form 134...
I am going to lose 3 pounds by nexy friday.
That is my bet with myself. and if i do, i get a mani and a pedi...and I think i am getting acrylics short put on becuase i am nibbling on my cuticles again.
I am going to alternate shake days with high fat low low carb days. Like meat days with some veggies and then another day of shakes celery and guac.
I had homemade cole slaw yesterday and my IBS is terrible.
so....that totally sucks becuase i love it so much. I look pregnant with the ab bloat. from the cabbage.
;(
Dang it was delish!
Today ..
breakfast:egg and bacon(1 egg 2 low sodium bacon)
Snack: shake
Lunch: celery and guac.
quite a bit
snack:shake
Dinner broiled fish and suateed spinach. Does this look good guys?

[heythatsfun]

Wow, I have to be really quick as usual (but for the rest of the week I'm free to post as much as I like! ), but I wanted to report that I'm FEELING and DOING much better today. I had:

Meal 1: Sliced turkey (unflavored, so kind of blah, but you know, I was too lazy to do anything for it)
Meal 2: chopped 1/2 of a cucumber with Italian dressing
Meal 3: (I'm on this on right now ) 2 cups of coffee, with half&half and Splenda

Meal 4 and beyond: Not sure because I'm going out to eat!

Oh, and I thought of a group question: Are you hungry RIGHT when you get up in the morning?I never used to be, and I usually ate from like 4 pm on (I revert back to this behavior when I'm in ketosis, but often it's not intentional), but my gosh, when I slip up like I did, I WOKE UP STAAAAAARVING!

Well have a really good day everyone! I'll have more time to post later tonight!

P.S.

Good for you Sharon!! Awesome job!! And what do you mean you'll go another week??? If your in this for the long haul, you must get rid of that way of thinking! Or were you just thinking of changing plans maybe?

Today is weigh-in day, not yesterday... And I'm the same...Again.. *heavy sighs* My body must just be re-adjusting to what it has lost so far...Even though I really like to see the scale go down, I'm okay with that... At least it wasn't a gain..

Looks good Amy! The pound is just likely a flucuation, and will be gone in no time! I must tell you guys, that 1 pound of fat, equals 3500 calories... Unless you ate that many calories in one day, there's no way in hell it could be fat... Just a "normal" flucuation.. So next time you see a small gain on the scale, remember that... *note to everyone, not just you Amy*

Missy~ I'm not even gonna comment about your long john and cookie fiascal.. <<the smiley says it all...

Going back to WW for this week.. It's easier and more structured for when I'm in classes, and to be honest, I'm really enjoying the fruit and bread... Seems whenever I do a Akins week, I stay the same... *hmmm* something to think about maybe?

Off to jump in the shower and head for work... Hope ya'll have a great ON PLAN day!

[aim in Fla*working]

Lei Thanks Pisses me off...I used to lose 10 pounds in a snap. Age sucks

How are you going to do it?

[aim in Fla*working]

low carb low carb..I probably wont make it but it is incentive...It is who loses most in a week... i am thinking 5 lbs.

[Sharon404]

Finished for the day...if I put it in writing, then it's gonna be true.

8:30-1-chicken breast and mayo for dipping

11:30-2-PB&J on wassa

4:30-1-1/2 piece spinach pie. tossed salad with 1000 Island dressing. About 10 of my husbands french fries. We were eating out...another bad habbit I need to break but not this week.

Lei-Not changing my plan. I like it too much. It's the weighing thing. I had broken myself of the habbit but it's ok. I was steeling myself for a gain.

[heythatsfun]

Quick update: after the coffee, turkey, and cucumber, I had another 1/2 of the cucumber, 1/2 a tomato, then a salad with peppercorn dressing, then cabbage with butter, then the tip of the Cheesecake Factory's 6 carb cheesecake (I honestly didn't want it.... A person who I hadn't seen in many years bought it for me though, so I didn't want to refuse. I did only eat the tip off of it though). I just had a little more cabbage with butter. Wow, that's a lot of veggies!! And I jogged for 45 minutes today too! Hope everyone had a great day!

[Coconutty]

l. pork chop and salad w/ceasar dressing, coffee
s. "pb&j sammich", w/oopsies, natural pb, and walden's 0 cal strawberry spread
