....Why does packaged tuna have to be so darn expensive!!!! $3 something for 5 measly ozs!!!! on sale!!!! I hate opening and draining cans at work. Argh!

I guess I'm lucky. .My Dollar Store (dollar Tree) carries it. . I usually buy it by the case and keep some in my desk drawer. . .Speaking of. .I better go stock up, then! Try Dollar Tree Direct and see if you can order it on-line. . I order stuff from there all the time for work and for myself. I buy bulk because I hate running out of dish soap, fabric softener, etc. . Try it. .you never know what you can get . .

No biggie!! Just glad you came back to us!!

[bdladie]

Hi everyone, sorry not on for a few day. I am trying to be good but struggling. I have friends over today and we went to a county smoke house store. I think I tried one to may pieces of jerky. No fillers so I did buy a little.

With all the medical stuff out of the way I am ready to lose again! WOO HOO! I sure missed you guys. I will try to read the posts, but have been working 14 to 16 hr days! Forgive me...

Hey Lisa! Glad you're back with us.

I think you start at 30 and gradually add 5 until you see a slight gain. . then you taper off. That way you have an idea what your body can burn without gaining. I think in your case, vegetables and fiberous fruit would be in order. Lettuce has basically None and you can have salad dressing. . there are a lot that have close to none. .. .People doing induction on Atkins still lose and eat up to 3 cups a day (Veggies) along with nuts and some fruit. . It'll be a learning experience, but you can do it. I suggest getting going to the library and getting a few books.. I researched my but off in the beginning.. . Plus, you appear to have wonderful metabolism so even if you do gain a little, it'll come off in no time. You know how to do it and you've proven to have the will power of a saint.

I hear ya on the no carb thing.. I was so good for so long but then I hit a few speed bumps.. It still freaks me out to think I haven't had bread since July or I haven't eaten a donut or haven't had potatoes. . I would never believe it myself. .

I'm off to the store for more needed meat supplies! I'm going to think on this, Al and see what else I can come up with. . I like the South Beach idea, though. . it is lower fat than Atkins and it does make sense.. Good Luck to you. . .Start eating veggies. . you really want to be "used" to a little something before you go. . wouldn't want you to be sick on Vacation!

I totally agree! I started off this year with SouthBeach! It really makes a lot of sense...low fat meats, good grains, beans, low GI vegies. You WON'T overdo...you are way too disciplined!

Hello

Just checking in new stats 233.6

Let the countdown begin !!!

[Getting there!!!]

Hi Al!! I'm with Im2-your gonna have to eat veggies sometime!! How are gonna get the kids to eat them if Mom doesn't!!
Seriously tho I totally understand you being worried about the vacation and maintenace. I think you should start adding some back in before you go. Start with salad-lettuce and co. has really no carbs in it. (I think a whole cucumber has 6grms) so you'll still be under the 20g of Atkins induction. Or brocoli and cauliflower have very little too. Add them in slowly then a few lower-carb fruits-berries and watermelon as far as I know. Then lastly the wholegrains!
I know you have no health worries or anything, but eating no veggies long-term just can't be good, you get no antioxidants and very few vitamins. And eating so much red meat. I know people stay on Atkins for years but I think the mainteance part actually says eat the veggies, fruit, wholegrain and lower the fat--saturated fat can't be good long term-it just can't. (and with that "you" I mean "one"-us, all of us!)
If you eat the veggies you won't gain-yeah we all weigh slightly less than we really do, if you get me!, because of the water but what you gain won't be fat. And I lost my weight eating the salads!
I think tho more importantly than the weight is that you should really enjoy your vacation and time with hubby. You shouldn't be worrying about what you can and can't eat. I know it's hard, believe me.
And just to say we went to France last Summer and I hadn't cheated since Nov.(well xmas day!)--I was eating the salad tho--and I bought an ice-cream-I took 3 licks of it and then threw it away-then I cried because I felt so bad for cheating. And every evening we went out I would be upset because the salads all had things I couldn't eat-and god forbid when we went somewhere that had none!!!! I actually sat and drank fizzty water while himself had is dinner!! And the same at breakfast--fizzy water and tea while everyone else gorged on croissants! And yeah I didn't put on any weight and kept completely to plan---but it was no holiday, not for me or for him.
So I do get that you're worried, I really do. I'm probably a little more relaxed about it now-às in I don't cry when we go out to eat and there is something that's on the plate that shouldn't-I dunno how many times I have sent things back-with I said NO dressing AT ALL!!---or maybe my willpower reserve is just depleted!!! All I can say is try to eat as healthy as you can when you're there-I would reckon that will be easy enough, won't there be lots of fruit and salad and fresh fish?? And tell yourself brfore you so that you'll have one "cheat" -hate using that word- a day, either a cocktail or a desert or whatever you like! I think it maybe will be easier that way.
And I really don't think you'll put on any "real" weight. And as Im2 says you have a seriously brilliant metabolism---I can't believe you lost all that weight, and still lose with no exercise!!----so a week or two on QWL and you'll have lost it again.
Oh yeah and my no1 tip is def stay away from all salad dressings!! Those things are cal overload!

[IM2fat]

Nermo! You are burning it up!! Awesome Awesome. Awesome.

[aleriaaa]

Thank you guys, for your advice and support!!! I really appreciate it!! ivve been gone all day celebrting my bros bday, and now Im off with hubby cause my Mom is gonna babysit- woohoo!!

[lisarenee]

I'm sorry . .Unfortunately . .you may be experiencing one of those so called - dreaded plateaus.. . Stay Strong. Stay Stong. . Try mixing it up a bit as kath suggests. .

[MustLoveDogs08]

I am claiming 149 today! Woop...Woop! I added some fat this weekend in the form of bacon and a little bit of cheese (in an omelette). I also grilled up a bunch of chicken legs and didn't throw out the skin. I will do this for a couple days and then alternate with strict Stillman's. I also started my strength training routine (5 lb. weights) and got a Biggest Loser work-out DVD (to begin that tonight). Feeling good and love the way my jeans are falling off my butt!

[Getting there!!!]

Hi peeps again! Thanks for letting me vent!! Yeah Im2 it probably is a plateau-I actually don't really think I've had one-well not for this long....it is just soooo slow!!!(seriously dunno how you stuck yours for so long!) Don't worry I'll hang in there-the loss has got to quicken up sometime,right??!!! Yeah Kathy maybe I'll add in more fat----but the last time I ate the yummy ground beef I actually gained!! Might get some anyway for a change becose God am I fed up with tuna!! Well done on the loss-and the baggy jeans!!
Welcome back MsG-you found us!! Must be the smell of bikini-time that has got everyone into exercise!!

[nermo]

Losers!!!

I see everyone is on track- no one is cheating or anything.

GT- I am with Al and Must Love add some fat- remember my mini vacation where i messed up a little by adding fat then immediatly after there was a 4 pound weight loss ! Try it for a few days and see.

[nermo]

ok well u kow i have been real good for a while now- up until today that is I had some chicken soup that a family member made but did not drain out the fat and had a chicken thigh- not so bad but I needed a break- I hope I don't go up though.

No loss yet- I will weigh in every two days - I know I am obsessed with the scale!

Thnx Msgirl- Glad to see u back !

[IM2fat]

A good week is upon us. . I can feel it in my bones! My plan is to stay strict, stay strong and exercise my hiney off! I want to see a change on that stupid scale already! I think I've given my meds ample time to kick in so I am going to start kicking this thing in the behind! I planned my day and will continue to plan my week and nothing except meat (and water and coffee. . gotta have something)shall pass these lips! O and a little diet soda or CL. .but that's it. . I'm not kidding this time.. I've had it and I aint' gonna let it beat me!!!

This weekend wasn't terrible but I could have worked a little more at it. I intend to do it today!!!! Sun is shining :-)

[dlyons]

Good afternoon!

Had a pretty nice weekend! I feel like I am slowly going back to my Size 42 pants. I am starting to feel more energy and my headaches is pretty much gone. It's been a rough weekend!!!

Now the weather is warming up and the sun is out and sunny. I am going to start walking outside at the park. I think I will start tomorrow.

[bdladie]

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend. I am sorry to say I am up 2 pounds. I know I ate to much of the good stuff this weekend and with TOM it has caught up with me. So this week my goal is to stick with my chicken and turkey and raw green vegetables. None of the evil salad dressings. I really want to get 10 pounds off by my next surgery April 9th. Lots of water today and eating good.
