Low Carb-Our Way

[Adoug4ho]

Trigger, let's do this!

Danni, JUDDD is Johnson's Up Day Down Day Diet. Is basically calorie cycling. Although I watch carbs still too.

[Reta]

Focus, are u back from the edge today?

Trigger, hang in there. You know the body be doing crazy stuff sometimes.

[Reta]

Danni, hows your day going so far? I used to do WWers too. They push the carbs and fruits and veggies O points. But, when you eat them, the body craves more. I cant do it anymore.

[Adoug4ho]

Hey Kim, I've seen you in the JUDDD threads. Are you JUDDDing too?!

[Trigger828]

thanks guys. I need the encouragement for sure.


just still flirting with the 2 lbs to hit stupid 199.


well hubby goes back to work tomorrow and kid at school. 4 days of quiet

means eating lean and light. I decided RIGHT HERE AND NOW, THIS MORNING, that in a few days 199 will be on the scale.



a few days. a few days to commit to move the scale a bit down. I can do it.


big ribeye tonight for dinner with a bit of veggies and no more food for the day. salad for lunch.



hang in there everyone. we can make the changes if we put in some effort.

Hi
Look at your stats girl!!!How far you have come!!You have lost 2lbsX15 over..so YES! you got this!Go Karen,Go Karen

[danni3]

Oh I see, thanks Adoug4ho!
Reta: Ive been doing good so far. Day 5 and no weight loss.....is it because Im eating nuts? I also eat SF jello but in the past its never hurt me before. I got in to ketosis the first day and have been there since....and Im having a really bad mood swing today but I have heard that is normal?

[Trigger828]

LOL Kim
man when I saw the 'lost 2 lbs. at least 15 times' it was an eye opener for me.
you are right. I should be about 30 lbs down by now HAHA


ok---that woke me up. how many times can I lose 2 lbs? I don't want to know so I best just lose them and get it over with


I am bouncing around, not eating like I normally do---just off the routine a bit.

back to routine. no weigh today. 2-3 days eating my old way. copying old food days. that should help me get my old routine back.


I will see what goes down.



AND CONGRATS to the losers! ya'll are in the zone. keep rockin' it!!!

[Trigger828]

sf jello won't hurt ya.

nuts can hurt ya only because for me a few doesn't do it. I eat ALOT of them. Had to give them up for a while to get the weight loss going.

[Adoug4ho]

Kim, I'm totally digging it. I like the variety and DDs aren't bad. Makes me feel in control.

[Reta]

So can you all give me an example of Up days and Down days for you all? Like 10 for down days and say, 45 for up?

[Adoug4ho]

Reta, my DDs and UDs focus on calorie counts primarily, with carbs secondary. I have a wheat allergy, so I avoid all wheat products for the most part anyhow, which eliminates a large portion of carbs. I do eat sugar though on my UDs.

Kim, are you using Dr. J's figures?

[Trigger828]

Adou sounds like JUDD is your kind of thing. keep rocking it! control is so important, so glad you found that!!




baked chicken for me tonight. nothing else. it was good. no fancy foods. basic and simple for the next few days.

we shall see what happens

[Adoug4ho]

Trigger I weigh in with the trainer on her "official" scale Sunday. I'm so ready to see the numbers. I've missed the last two weeks. I have seen 202 on my scale, and here's weighs 2-3 lbs lighter, so fingers crossed!

Hi-
For me its 380 DDs and 1800 UDs.Rotate every other day.You are allowed to eat up to 500 on DDs but I try to stay at 300 or less.

[Reta]

Kim, what do eat on DDs? That's not a lot of food. wow.

[Trigger828]

OH KIM. that is funny. I took that wrong LOL

either way I came far which is good and you are right. 199 shouldn't derail me or me to self sabotage or something. but also I am tired of losing the same 2 lbs over and over again

man I gotta find some way to work this out HAHA




back to basics for me.
BIG BREAKFAST. it works best for me. if I eat a big breakfast then I am not searching for food thru the day at all. eat light. when I skip the big breakfast I 'graze' thru the day and can easily overeat.

weird. breafast hater here and usually never eat before 12-1pm but since low carbing breakfast is my best meal of the day to set me up ok thru the day and I got away from it.

so going back to what worked for me. I think I got tired of the scale. The losing. The food prep. All of it. I had my little break, now it is time to really get the weight moving off again. after all the warm weather is coming and I want thinner



FINGERS CROSSED for you Adou. hope you see that number!!!!

I NEED HELP!
Ive never had problems with Atkins, losing like 8-10lbs the first week! Ive been very strict and have only lost 1lb. How do I start fresh and how long do i go off the diet to get back on track?

[Adoug4ho]

Hey there! How's everyone doing? Got my official trainer weigh-in tomorrow morning and I'm excited! I better see a big drop since it's been 2 weeks. Last weigh in there was 204.something, so I'm hoping for at least 201 which would mean 1 lb a week. JUDDDing is totally working well for me. I don't struggle with the DDs like I expected. I love the freedom of the UDs, sometimes too much

[Trigger828]

I got my fingers crossed for you big time Adou.


well I am back on track. whew. I went very very low calorie for a few days here and my mind is good, food cravings etc. are gone.

scale dropped the bloat now I am 201.

OK now 2 stupid lbs to 199. WEEEeeee

I am in a good place. got the bugs out of me and feel like I can easily hit 199 in a very few short days.


fingers crossed for myself also lol


went shopping with kiddo today, she needed a few school things. but I was looking around and realized I want smaller clothes. No way I am buying at this weight so I gotta get my butt in gear and get smaller NOW. I want sexy summer clothes


OK everyone hang in there!!!!! it is a battle we will win

HEY DANNI

when did you do atkins before? are we taking a long time. Are you alot older? sometimes what worked before won't work now.

I 'diet and eat' different than when I was younger. 51 now so I had to tweak up my food for sure.

being atkins I would take the time to track my calories. Calories do count for me. little things like I made hot cocoa with heavy cream. HOLY. the amt. of cals. in that cup was out of this world. Cut it out and lost easier.

maybe too much fatty meats, too much butter, too much cream and cheese?

all that has to be limited so I would track calories and just get an idea of what amt. you are eating. might help ya. espeically if you are a shorter gal and such.

hang in there. tweaking is needed for everyone to find their sweet spot to lose weight

[Adoug4ho]

Trigger, weighed in at 201.4 at gym this AM! SOOO close. We're hitting it this week!!!!!

[Trigger828]

Adou we are the same now lol

YES WE ARE HITTING IT THIS WEEK. it will be wild to hit ONEderland with someone else!

congrats on that nice drop on the scale!

I'm eagerly waiting to congratulate you both!!!

[Shrinkingviolet]

Read this thread with interest, I guess thinking about it I low carb my way too. I managed to stick to atkins but almost immediately had to add in yogurt and berries, just rebelled against the ladder thing I have read a lot of different books and taken inspiration from all of them, and most important before I fell off the wagon...I lost 40lb in three months doing it my way so I'm glad to read this thread and see how envy one else tweaks it their way and succeeds

Hi danni3, i think tracking what i eat helps alot. I now know how many carbs i can eat a day to lose weight, just need to keep an eye on it.

Have been off plan for the last few days. I was visiting friends and i knew i wouldnt be able to plan what i would be eating as not at home. Anyway back on track as of today. I have also decided not to weigh myself every single day as i really struggle when i see the scales not moving. Last time i weighed on Thursday morning i was 290.75. Not weighed in since then and dont plan to until 12th April. Hopefully i will see a really good number then. *fingers crossed*

well done everyone who has been losing. you are doing a fantastic job!! x
