SO glad you are better and still spot on plan! Me too!!! I am NOT hungry at all. I hate to even post what little I ate today. I may go have a piece of cheese or something but really don't want it.

I had 2 eggs with 1 slice of cheese and 3 pieces of bacon at the Barrel with Mom.

Snack 1.75 bag of peanuts

A little off the rotisserie chicken DH had left over.

[Woman Typing Badly]

evening girls. I noticed I am down about a pound and a half. It's those stupid stairs and the computer being upstairs.

I am at this time simply cutting back on my portions. better than nothing, right?

[wcwendy]

Too tired to reply more, sorry!

TODAY'S FOOD
last of the HWC/cottage cheese/SF raspberry jello stuff
pork rinds--tried a different brand; it's too crunchy for braces!
3 c water

chicken breast w/ 2 TBSP butter, 1/4+ c shredded cheese, 3 TBSP sour cream
3+/- c water

toppings from too many slices of pizza
8+/- cups water

1/2 diet Dr Pepper

[wcwendy]

Chewie, I'm sorry that you had such a bad day.

Landis, great job staying on plan!!

WTB, yay for the weightloss!! Gotta love stairs!!

[wcwendy]

I wasn't going to weigh today, but I couldn't stand it. I ate so much pizza toppings last night that I knew that I'd be retaining water, and I could SEE that I was, but I haven't weighed myself for over a week, and I was scared of what's going on.

Fri, Jan. 8--183
Sun, Jan 17--186.5

Could all be water weight, but it could be that I just ate too much and/or too many carbs all week. I didn't keep track of anything.

I do that sometimes. It'll come back off especially if you go a little lighter than usual the next couple of days. By lighter I mean for ME that means less food maybe than usual and more like strict induction foods. That's just me though. YMMV

I can't resist weighing every day either. I feel like I may be up in the morning, feel kind of puffy. We'll see. I was 159 today and yesterday. I am happy!

Just keep pushing the water and follow the plan. It'll be gone soon.

[chewiegand]

Week 1 is done!!!! Woohoo
I'm down 7 pounds. I'm excited and happy that I'm finally doing something. I even told the parents last night. I'm doing a big grocery run today cause we're out of so much stuff and it'll make my plan so much easier.

I need to weigh everyday or just about everyday because it encourages me to stay on track, and/or to see when I've gone off it!

Yay! So happy for you!! Have fun buying foods to help you stay on track!

Mmm...I want some crab covered in butter. I wonder if I missed all of the crab sales.


TODAY'S WEIGHT
185.5 --back down 1 pound

[wcwendy]

TODAY'S FOOD

cream cheese/HWC/touch of stevia
3 c Haute Chocolate tea w/ 1 oz HWC

turkey hot dog (100% real meat + seasonings)
garlic Tabasco

3 c vanilla white tea w/ 1 oz HWC, SF coconut syrup

cream cheese/HWC/touch of stevia

casserole from last night (sausage, green beans, 3 kinds of cheese, garlic, onions, eggs)

2 jalapenos cooked in bacon grease w/ cream cheese
2 c Haute Chocolate tea

around 6 c water today

[wcwendy]

I'm REALLY considering going off all dairy products for a couple of weeks to see if I feel better. My ND said that I show a lot of symptoms, plus I KNOW that I'm allergic to it...so...I shouldn't be surprised!

But I don't want to because I like eating all of that creamy, fatty, filling yumminess. I guess that I'll have to cook more since I won't be able to just grab something from the fridge.


Still don't want to do it, though. Aaaannnnddd that's a frequent indication of an allergy--addiction and a desire to NOT cut it from the diet.

[wcwendy]

How is everybody?

I'm tired today. I think I slept too much during the day yesterday what with sleeping late and then a nap. I couldn't get to sleep till after 1 and then kept waking up. I'm going to try to make it without a nap today and see if that helps.

Your food sounds yummy!

For me it's wheat and many fruits oh and soy. And other things I don't know they they, but I get those reactions from who knows what from time to time, severe reactions, just can't pinpoint it. I'm a denier of them sometimes too. :blush:

Sorry Chewie! I am tired too. I think all of the stuff going on is creeping up on me.

Thanks for telling them here IT IS MAJOR, STILL IS, will take me weeks to get it all straightened out. I am dealing with it better now though. That's due to prayer and a peace from Him that passes all understanding!

Nope, doing GREAT! Completely and totally on plan! I wouldn't not come here because of that either. I know some do but not me.

You, too? Silly us! And I'm sorry that you have problems.

to you both.

Glad that you're feeling better. Thanks for sharing that scripture!

Good to know!

[wcwendy]

Landis, sorry if I've asked, but have you had a blood allergy test done? IME, it's an easy way to find out what to avoid. Of course, then you have to actually AVOID the things.

[Lucy]

Yeah I have, they showed up things that don't bother me for some and yes they did hit on others. Of course they do tests on things that are common and I don't think a couple of mine are. I do avoid what I KNOW when I am on Atkins. That is one reason I think I stick to it so well when I can't others. I can't eat fruit which I LOVE and of course you can't have bread or even breading and I am allergic to wheat so...also found I cannot eat any bars because of the soy which seems to bother me even more than wheat. I get skin allergies and anaphalactic reactions not stomach problems. YUCK!

How else are you doing Wendy?

I had blueberries show up as an allergy, but I don't know if I've ever noticed problems from them. Then again, I'm not sure that I've consumed blueberries during a time period in which I WASN'T eating other known allergens, so who knows?!

So, you can't have soy sauce?

I'm doing OK, thanks.

Yeah I had peanuts show up but I have eaten them for YEARS with no problem. They did say that since they showed up I was likely allergic to walnuts or other nuts and I have noticed a problem with walnuts and macadamia nuts. It's not severe thank goodness. I can eat all berries, I can't eat apples, peaches, kiwi, plums, oranges that kind of stuff.

[wcwendy]

I'm tired of people being allergic to foods.

I hate it! I have to say my bad reactions have slowed down a BIT. This past year I only had one ER visit. For a few years I was having a lot more, like 2 a year or so. It's scary for one thing!!!

That's really bad. I'm glad that you're getting a little better. I don't want you to be sick.
