208.5 Monday weight in
last week was tom, had a 2 lb gain so this is accepable.

Doing the xx away by christmas day challenge and it is helping me alot to stay motivated. Started posting my menus daily so that helps with me not wanting to cheat. I did have some sugar free RS turtles during TOM and that hurt, but sooo good. Glad t hat is all I had.

205.5 Monday weigh in. Yeah for me, this is 10 lbs since starting, no where near wher it was when I did Atkins before. That was an 11lb loss in the first two weeks.

This time I am staying in induction for a while longer, maybe for a month or so. It is just easier to stay around 20 carbs.

Well only down a pound to 204.5. I am a bit disapointed as I really felt that I Had lost more weight than that. I have a pair of capri's that are slipping down my waist. I think I will try to take some measurements so that I will have that to go by as well.

It is much better to go by measurments or clothing than the scale. Don't just go by the size on the clothing tag however as there is no consistancy in sizing. Keep up the good work!

Down 1.5 lbs today so that is 203. Shouldn't be too long till I see the 100's again. Funny how it was only like April since I had all this gain.

43/40/46, wow, those are my measurments. I needed to take them so I would know some progress other than the scale, but wow, that is really big. It is funny too how when I look at myself I do not see myself as that big, I mainly look at myself from the neck up. I mean I look to make sure my clothes look ok, but other than that I focus on my face. I have a long way to go, but at least I knwo I will aways be going down.

Todays weigh in is 201.5 so that is down 1 1/2 lbs. Hopefully next week will be below 200. I just need to stay away from those sf candies!

Thanks Shea!

Down another lb to 198.5, I am happy about this as I feel that I gained this week. I feel bloated too. This week I was out at night alot and took some bites of things I thought were legal only to find out that they were not.

I do not think I am going to make my Christmas goal, but at least I will be lighter than when I started. Well, I might make it. Lets see, 7 weigh in's (8 counting Christmas) till the big day, and if I lose 1-1.5 lbs a week that is seven, and my goal was 30, no, won't make it. I might make it to 190 though which means I should be able to fit in all my size 16's!

11/6/06

Today's weight in is 196, yes, that is right, 196! That is a 2.5 lb loss for the week. So only 1 more pound and I will be at the 20 lb mark. Maybe 30 by Christmas is doable!

This is also the first full week of the month so I took my measurements and they are 43/39/44.5. So bust has not changed, waist is -1 inch, and and hips are -1.5. Not too bad.

[pandora0404]

11/7/06

Changing my measurement to reflect first thing in the morning
42/39/44

That is a 4 inch loss instead. -1 on bust, -1 on waist, -2 on hips.

11/20/06

Down 20lbs since starting Atkins, slowly but surely I will make it. Todays weight is 194.5. I didn't report in last week as I was up 1.5lbs. Too much legal treats while Tiffany and Carrissa were visiting.

12-4-06

Guess I missed the last two weeks??? Well, I was down to 194 last week but today am up to 196 I feel kinda bummed about it, but TOM is this week, and I had a couple sweet potatos this week which for some reason Ithough were legal and they are not. Oh and a few to many peanuts too. I just can't have any of that stuff in the house!

Took measurements today, 41-38.5-44, so that means I am down 1 in bust and 1/2 in my waist. Considering this is the same weight that I was the last time I did measurements this is great!!

[pandora0404]

12-11-06

Today I am at 193, so that is only 3 pounds from my Christmas goal. Hopefully I will be able to make it. I am glad I was able to get rid of those two pounds from last week plus one more. I guess it was from TOM, I am just not used to having a weight flux during that time cause I never weigh myself.

[pandora0404]

1/1/07

41/38/44 No real change in measurements and my weight is back up to 193 after hitting a low of 191. It is now the new year and I have to work hard this year to make sure that I hit goal. This week is TOM, so maybe I would be at 191 again, will eat clean this week and see where I am at next week.

I am planning on adding in some exercise this week too. I am going to start working on the ball that my PT wants me to do and I also want to start walking on the treadmill.

well, I was all excited because I thought I weighed 187 last week and I am 186.5 this week, but I was 186 last week, so I gained half a pound not lost half a pound!! It could have been worse! I ate a ton of cheese and nuts this last week, and my appitite was back from being sick!

[pandora0404]

2/2/07

Forgot to check in this week, and last two weeks it looks like. I was 185.5 on Monday's weigh in. Also tried on some of my 14's and I can get them zipped and fastened! Still not able to wear the xl shirts though, even though the xxl's are too big, might be a body image problem.
