Looking for Pen Pal in PA

Jenuine · 07-13-2003, 08:48 AM

I am almost 32, and I have been a big girl most of my life. I have 2 daughters, 13 and 7. This is the first diet I have been on where I see real results. I would like to meet someone to share ideas with, and possibly make a new friend.

I am 36, in Philadelphia, and mom to 2 boys- 3 and 4 months. How long have you been LCing? I have been since 6/16, adn down 17 lbs. I like this WOE alot, but am at a bit of a stall the last 5 ddays or so.

Nice to meet you! I am in Allentown PA. If you have stalled thats ok.. Remember you may be losing inches at times instead of weight. That has happened to me. I started on May 1st and as of right now I am down 40 pounds. I think alot of it depends on how much you have to lose, and loss varies from person to person. You will and you can do it!! I am here for you if you need to talk or any questions. I have the atkins book, cook book, atkins for life and the carb counter.

Drop me a line...

Have a great day....Jen

I am disgusted! It has been abot a week, and no wt. loss. I am registering in ketosis though, so I don't know what is up. I have been using the low carb/no carb bars 1-2 days/week, so I am going to try to stop them for awhile. I know I haven't been as good as I should with the water either!

That's great that you are down 40 lbs. Congrats! I have felt pretty good about my loss so far, but this is the 1st time I have not seen the scale move since I started. Plus I think I'm a bit bored by my snacks of cheese and meat!

I have those books also, but am not finished the 1st one yet. Have you made anythng good out of the cookbook?

Jenuine · 07-23-2003, 04:13 PM

No I have not tried the cookbook yet. I think within the next week or so....I will...lol....I still do induction....hehe...How often do you weigh yourself? I am trying not to do it all the time, I get really bummed if I do.

I know what you mean about the cheese and meat....its hard but I feel so good, that I can live with it...for now that is lol.

hedy67 · 07-23-2003, 04:53 PM

I'm trying to stick to induction as well, although I have been a bit lax about it the last 2 weeks. I am trying to tighten up the reins! I weigh my self daily which is a big no-no, but I can't help it!

Hi! My name is Rachel, and I'm in PA too, but not as near to you guys. I'm in York. Can I be your buddies too? I'm struggling with induction right now.

I started on July 5th - lost ten pounds in ten days, continued the rest of the week following that, but lost control on July 19th at a group picnic. My bad streak continued on into Sunday. Now I'm back on the induction train again, but almost lost it again tonight! I don't know what to do with myself!! I feel so weak willed.

Anyway, it would be fun talking to you guys. Good luck!

I know it is hard staying on- I am going through this myself right now, but I lost 17 lbs so far, so I am trying to keep motivated! These boards certainly help! I just got a bit out of control with the SF candy, so I am trying to be more inductionlike too.
