Weekly weigh in buddies wanted - Page 25

lotus33 · 03-12-2013, 06:00 PM

You know, I forget about that show! I used to watch all the time and then just stopped.

It is a good show!

Enjoy the down time!!

beachmom3 · 03-13-2013, 07:03 AM

Great job Rebecca and Karen!

Lotus - That is funny we both have April weddings. You'll get there too!

Thankfully I'm not actually in it, just DS.

I'm thinking that I've let myself become to lax with the carbs and processed food. I know my body responds better with a lower carb diet, so I'm going to make out a meal plan and grocery list for tomorrow. Time to get serious!

lotus33 · 03-13-2013, 03:51 PM

Yeah, its easy to slip back into carby foods! I don't care what people say carby food is easier to buy, keep around, and eat.

I am starting to focus on the glycemic index of the food more than the carb count. I am going to try that a month. I have a Dr. appt in a month so she will take blood work again. My triglycerides are high. They are affected by carbs but I swear when I was doing true Atkins with high fat they shot up

But now I can't remember. If it was the low fat or high fat that they shot up. Anyway going to give the GI thing a try and see what the effects are. Still trying to stay in the CAD formula though. Just choosing carbs differently instead of free range of whatever I want.

beachmom3 · 03-14-2013, 05:27 AM

That's what I've been thinking too. If I'm too strict with carbs, then I find myself having more "binge" nights and going nuts with the carbs because I feel restricted. On the other hand, when I try to focus on calories, most of them end up being carby/processed foods. So I need to find the middle ground.

Rebecca1979 · 03-14-2013, 11:15 AM

I'm at 237 this morning(just a few ounces from 236!). I don't know what was up with the weight fluctuation, but it's subsiding. =)

beachmom3 · 03-14-2013, 02:32 PM

Weight fluctuations are tough, great job!

I ended up changing my avatar (obviously) hope you all recognize me

I love grumpy cat, so I couldn't resist when I saw this pic...LOL.

beachmom3 · 03-15-2013, 06:42 AM

189.8 this morning!! Finally! I've never been so happy to see a .2 loss

lotus33 · 03-15-2013, 03:00 PM

Whooooohooooo!!!!!

That cat is NOT cuter than your baby!

Keep us posted on Glycemic Index. I have heard about it for years, but not studied up.

lotus33 · 03-17-2013, 07:54 PM

Yeah its interesting! When I get it all figured out I will give you the cliff notes!

beachmom3 · 03-18-2013, 06:19 AM

188.4 this morning! Pinch me

This seems to be working!! I'm sticking within a range of 50 - 80 carbs, most of which I try to get from fruits and veggies. I'm usually able to have a serving of some type of whole grain like brown rice at dinner or oatmeal if I'm really tired of eggs in the morning. I'm also keeping an eye on my calories for now, just to make sure I'm not going to high. I feel like I have a little more freedom from strict low carbing, but still not getting hungry like I was just watching calories. Hopefully this keeps working

Rebecca1979 · 03-18-2013, 09:53 AM

239 this morning =[

Jeeze....what a slacker! Only 6 today????

Do you know anything about setting up a LLC? Do I have to see a lawyer or are the programs I see online legit? Any thoughts?

lotus33 · 03-19-2013, 08:35 AM

I weigh in tomorrow with the old biddies.

No eating today!

In Iowa, it does not require a lawyer to set up an llc. $50 and 1 sheet of paper does it, if you want to keep it to a minimum.

Go on line or call your Secty of State office and ask questions.

Good grief, Easter candy is not safe in my house!

Those stinkin peeps were too tempting. Don't even get me started on the Reese peanut butter eggs! Glad to get that off my chest

Rebecca1979 · 03-20-2013, 11:47 AM

I weighed in at 237!!

Great job!! Yes, it is exciting..any loss is in my book!!

I looooove stale peeps, but I'm usually too impatient to let them get to that point

Have you guys tried any of the Atkins frozen meals? I saw them at Walmart and picked up a couple. I just had the "Crustless Chicken Pot Pie" and surprisingly it is very good. It will be nice to have on hand when I don't feel like cooking, which is more often than not..LOL

beachmom3 · 04-01-2013, 05:12 AM

Just checking in...it's too quiet around here

Last week was not pretty! My in laws came to visit and brought a ton of Easter candy

Of course I "helped" the kids eat it...ugh! I can officially say that I am over all the sugar. I'm so happy to get back to low carbing (never thought I would say that

)

lotus33 · 04-02-2013, 07:14 PM

I *helped* too!!

Between that and popcorn....I am feeling

I have my weigh in tomorrow but I may skip it. I actually have a chance to sleep in....I may just take it!!

beachmom3 · 04-04-2013, 04:57 AM

Sleep in!! I'm not very supportive am I?

I stepped on the scale for the first time in a week and it was not pretty.

At least the weather is starting to warm up and I can start walking outside again!

lotus33 · 04-04-2013, 08:48 AM

Sleep still out weighs almost every other option!

I wonder if that will ever change? Remember before kids when you just took sleep for granted????? Silly us!

I will weigh next wed. So that will give me a chance to get rid of this bloatedness! <<<< hmph! apparently thats not a real word

Oh well you know what I mean!
