I'm back!

babycakez · 06-25-2012, 10:47 AM

So I've been MIA for the last month or two. Money was tight and I started half assing my meals.. still eating low carb as possible but eating on a much higher carb level.. to where I wasnt losing any weight but I was still maintaining. I was a little bit more than halfway to my goal so I wasnt by any means ready to start maintaining. I wanted to see what it would be like though and if I was capable of doing it. I did really well the first month but started getting a little more careless the second month... I can tell I've gained some weight by the way my pants and belt are fitting. I know for sure I gained about 6lbs a lil over a week ago and I'm sure I'm up to 10 or more now. I refuse to let this go on any longer so I jumping back up on my low carb horse. I ordered my tortillas from netrition which have always been a staple in my meal plans. They should be here today I hope. I can't wait to start being a loser again!!

Glad you jumped back on before it got too out of hand! Welcome back

Welcome back I have missed your posts. I used to see them frequently. You know what works for you so get right back in here and do it.

Good for you for getting back on it! Where in the bay area are you from? I grew up in Hayward.

I know that Trader Joe's has low carb tortillas, I think they are 4 carbs each and they aren't too expensive. Maybe you could try those out and see if they are as good as the ones you buy online. That way you wouldn't have to pay shipping. Just a thought.

Yay!!!

Welcome back!!

jhbyrd · 06-25-2012, 05:11 PM

Glad you are back, I also missed reading your post!!!! When I first started you where on her a lot. I have been wondering where you went!! Glad you are back and came back before losing control!! GOOD FOR YOU!!!! I think that is the key to keeping our weight off, knowing when to say okay I am slipping before it gets out of hand. I think maintaining is harder for most than losing-at least for me!! Anyway SOOO glad to see you are back!!

Glad to see you back Babycakez - you were doing so well before and I am sure you can jump right back on the low carb wagon and do it again.
I had wondered where you had went too - I always enjoyed your posts
Good luck restarting your journey

Awww thanks guys! Feels good to be wanted back haha. Im sorry for abandoning you all lol.

Well my tortillas still haven't arrived *grrrr* then are supposed to be delivered today. I think tomorrow will be my official re start day because today I ate too much already. Work has been a big factor in why I stopped as well. My store is closing down because new apartments are being built in its location so I am transferring to a new store. Wednesday is the last day we will be open. The good news though is that I should at least be making twice as much money and its 10 minutes closer to home... sooo.. it's a good thing, I just hate making such a big change and im gonna miss everybody because most of them are transferring to a different store further away from me. Also we are learning a new computer system so its gonna feel like I'm starting all over again rather than just transferring. blahh. Anyways I'm glad to be back! Make sure I don't leave again, ok!?!? Haha.
