Lataisha is on her way to those size 12 jeans

Lataisha · 10-29-2006, 04:10 PM

well today is October 29 2006 and it is the first day that i am back on this plan.... I did this plan about 5 months ago and lost alot of weight, felt good about myself and was looking good also but i thought that i didnt need the plan anymore... boy was i ever wrong.... i gained all my weight back plus extra... i have never been this big in my life and it is really depressing. well i refuse to let anoter day go by feeling the way that i do now... i went to the doctors 2 days ago and she informed me that i was dangerously over weight and that i was at risk for some major diseases that run in my family... it scared the living daylights out of me... so today is my first day and i am truly feeling the induction flu already... i had to realize that this is a new woe.,.. this is something that i have to do for the rest of my life... and you know what??? i can deal with that... i am ready and willing and i know for a fact that i am able. i cant wait to see the new me, i cant wait to feel better about myself. i brough a pair of size 12 jeans as my motivation, i threw them in the back of my closet.. i think its time to pull them out, hang them back up and let them be my motivational piece... today was good. didnt eat much, i have to get back in the swing of things like before... but i did not cheat today and if u dont cheat on your first day, you can make it the rest of the way.......

Hi Lataisha: great going on your first day i was looking for my journal and saw you had started one
You did great on your first day back on plan keep it up you will be there before you know it
good idea on the jeans put them where you see them every day this is a way of life not a diet
Now i just have to convince myself of that sometimes
Have a great day

[b]MONDAY MORNING 10/30/2006

Well this morning is going great... i had some low sodium sausage for breakfast and some chai tea.. all together it total 3 carbs... i am trying to eat more but i just dont have an appetite early in the morning... plus it might also be the hoodia that is taking away those awful cravings... but i am taking my vitamins which are.
1). gnc- ultra mega woman
2). multi oil
3). liquid vitamin E
4). hoodia b4 lunch and dinner
5). water ex ( only because tom is on his way....

I feel good this morning... alittle out of it... this time change thing is really messing me up!!! lol.... but i am about to go take my vitamins and drink some ( well lots of ) water.... i am gonna put the kids down for a nap and do my billy blanks boot camp after i blow the dust off of it. lol... i will be back lunch time....

Tommyswife · 10-30-2006, 11:01 AM

Aren't you a cutie. You'll be in those twelves before christmas.

Lataisha · 10-30-2006, 11:26 AM

lol... thank you very much.... i hope that i will be in those size twelves before christmas... that will be a very wonderful gift.... its kinda hard to fathom because right now i am in a tight 18...... but the doctor telling me that if i dont change my habbits i would have to take medicine.... arggg... that is something that i definetly do not want to be on... but with prayer and faith and determination i know that i can and will be a better me...... its good that we have a forum like this with such supportive and helpful people on here because i dont have much support from my friends and family, especially when i tell them that i am on the atkins woe... they all have negative things to say... but i dont pay them any mind... i just keep on keeping on knowing that i will never be the same over weight 27 year old female that i was the day before.... that gives me strength for tomorrow..... so now my mini goal is to be down 10 pounds for my 28th birthday on november 16th....

Lataisha · 10-30-2006, 04:41 PM

well to sum my day up, for lunch i had tuna with a lil mayo and a lil relish with water and herbal tea... between lunch and dinner i had water water water.. for dinner i had baked pork chop with 2 cups of steamed spinach.... and water water water.... and i am gonna do walk away the pounds tonight when i get the kids settled in... i have also decided that eating after 6pm is a no no for me.... so one of my commitments is to not eat after 6pm... my cravings havent been that bad, i am taking hoodia and that helps so much with my cravings... so untill tomorrow everyone.... God bless and Good night!!!

Tommyswife · 10-31-2006, 10:01 AM

10 pounds is so do-able by your b-day. If you eat clean, you can lose a pound a day. I know I did, especially with M/E.

Lataisha · 10-31-2006, 10:49 AM

Yes Tommyswife i do believe that it is possible also.... i weighted myself this morning and it say that i am down from 220 when i went to the doctors on friday to 214..... so i am def happy about that.... this whole wol is going faster than i had expected... being that i have done this plan before i thought that the second time around would be harder for me to adjust... i think that the scare at the doctors is really what made my mind up that i have to change my lifestyle... i am in ketosis my DS told me my breath stinks...lol... and my appetite is suppressed which is a wonderful thing.... i am gonna try the meat and eggs untill my birthday... i am on my way in the kitchen to boil some eggs... and i know that i will plent of exercise tonight trick or treating with my kids even tho i dont really believe in the holiday... but my mom always let me go and so i dont wanna deprive my boys of it... just pray for my strength to stay away from the snickers.... lol.... i can do it and will do it...

Lataisha · 10-31-2006, 06:55 PM

im so upset with myself, i had 4 pieces of candy tonight out of my kids trick or treat bags.... arrrrgggggg.... i cant believe i did that... well i gotta work it off like i was told...... i hope and pray that it dosent cause a major set back and all...... well im so upset with myself right now... i am going to bed...... good night all and god bless

Lataisha · 11-02-2006, 07:37 AM

Good morning, well this week has been great except for those couple of pieces of holloween candy. I have been on plan and havent had any major cheats.i am feeling really good about myself and this new woe.... i weighed myself this morning snd it said 210.... i am on my way.... i have to, for my health. sometimes i just get discouraged and go back to eating the way that i was eating before.... sometimes i feel that my goal of 150 is not reachable. but i know that is the devil trying to steal my joy away from me.... the dr. really put fear in me when she told me that i was a risk for different diseases that run in my family... i am 27, i dont want to have high blood preasure and diabetes and cancer... i want to be health and live healthy for my children... i wanna feel good about the way that i look in the mirror, i wanna be able to go into old navy ( my fav store) and go to the size 9/10 and fit in them and say " you go girl"... is my goal reachable??? i think it is, i just have to realize that it didnt ltake me months to put this weight on even tho it feels like i did, and it might not take me five months to take it off. but i am gonna make an effort to do whatever i can to loose this weight.... i am gonna stick to plan and when i feel like giving up or that i cant reach my goal, thats when i will turn to this wonderful forum for guidence and support.... this morning for breakfast i had a boiled egg without the yoke and a piece of kielbasa, with my cup of cammomile tea and 16.9 oz of water.... i took my antibiotic, and my vitamin, multi oil and water ex..... i will be back after lunch....

Lataisha · 11-04-2006, 08:07 AM

Good morning, well last night i went to the gym and i did 45 minutes of cardio.. boy was i feeling woozy when i left there... i think that i over did it.. so today when i go i am gonna do 30 minutes on the eliptical and some weight training.. its boring going to the gym by myself, i wish i had a workout buddy.... but even if i dont im still gonna work out.... well i weighed myself this morning and i am 205 i am so happy... so my next goal is to loose 6 pounds by my birthday and that will put me at 199.....so that means i will be one under on november 16th.... oh what a day that will be, i havent been one under in so long......

Tommyswife · 01-24-2008, 05:15 AM

Hi pretty lady. Your hair is so cute. It's great that you've decided to get back on plan. The feeling you acquire from low carbing is indescribable. You're very close to 199. I can hear it calling your name. LOL

Lataisha · 01-24-2008, 05:35 AM

thank you tommyswife... i have to do this for me because for so long i have been unhappy with myself... at the point where i hated myself.... and i am tired of feeling that way.... i do need to put in more cardio.. but atleast i am eating on plan... so monday when i weigh in i hope that i am under 200 atleast.. today is my 4th day on plan and sticking to plan and i feel good....

Lataisha · 01-24-2008, 06:17 AM
