WTG!! Seems Atkins is doing you well. Keep up the exercise! It such a a great mood enhancer and makes ya feel sexiness LOL

Let's see. I did IF all last week. Am at my lowest I've been in like forever. I had a "free" day yesterday. Wayyyyy too many cookies (we had a cookie swap Saturday ) Up a 1/2 lb but not concerned. Work is still over loaded and I like IFing (since I am keeping really busy at work). So week 2 of IF here I go Wish me luck

Have a wonderful day Señoritas

Pati!!!! that is fantabulous~!!!!!! So awesome!!! seems like you have found your NICHE!!!! keep it up and do what you are doing!!.... IT WORKS!!!!

Goooooooooooood Morning Shari!!! Good to see you up and about... I see you are low carbing it too..!! For me, the only way to get through these times without a gain... but everyone has to find their own path for sure!

Hope all of you are good today! I am a busy bee again, not as busy as Pati, but still... I will check back later..

Good morning

Me so tired. Me so sleepy! I have 2 sick kiddos at home. The older one has been sick since Friday and since he and his sister act like they are both 6, they play together alot and well, dd got sick yesterday. I could definitely

I actually don't feel good myself but mine is allergy related. I have (TMI coming) lots of post nasal drip and it's causing me to get nauseous.

We are all a hot mess! I also have what feels like heartburn. My head hurts too. *sigh* I'm just a really hot mess

My update on the diet? I dropped the 1/2 lb I gained but didn't drop any more than that.

I may change my window today to get food in earlier to take some pills for the headache Who knows. I may even call today a cheat day
I WANNA GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

How are my favorite online buds doing?!?!

Hiya guys....Busy day! (The norm lately) but I am really wanting to not have to come in when I'm supposed to be on vacation so I am doing my darnest to get things cleaned up!

Scale is still being nice. New low. I am truly enjoying IFing you guys! And my body doesn't miss eating during the work day (I do have my morning coffee w/H&H and sucralose ) Yesterday I ate good too.

Got off of work. Went to pick up DD from my moms. By the time I get there my "window is opened" to eat. I had a bowl of soup (meat and loads of veggies). I had sweet bread she had just pulled out the oven (one slice) and dipped in the spanish version of hot chocolate Then I slept when I got home! I was EXHAUSTED (sick kiddo). When I woke up DH had made salmon in the oven and white rice. Had a plate of that and topped my night with coffee and H & H.

I lost another .5 lb NEW LOW!

I'm loving this! I am not deprived!

Have a great rest of the day ladies

so happy you found a plan that you love and reaping the benefits from. Keep at it girlie.

[shari]

Good morning ladies!

Seems we're all busy now. I'm on vacation the last week of this month so trying to wrap things up early so I'm not in a frenzy next week.

Pati~that's awesome!! How you're able to wait until dinner to eat is incredible to me..I'd chew my limbs off. Congrats on you new low!

[Deb294evr]

WOW Pati, I am just so impressed this is working so well for you!!!.. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!!!

Morning Shari!!! I agree, I am just not meant to go all day without food I think.. I WISH I could!! good lord it would make life easier!!!

Morning Tyl and Meek!! Morning Dessa! Morning anyone else who pops by!!!..

Thank god I made it through yesterday.. I was seriously ready to knock myself out! Well the story is I am learning leases as a backup to my supervisor and they are not hard at all.. but my supervisor drones on and on and on and on and on ........ about other things while trying to teach me.... I swear I wrote down on my paper... "SOMEONE HELP ME!"...

Ok, so It was worse because her office is hot as a desert and I was just dying... I wanted to get up and run far far away...... hard to explain..

Anyhooo... I am done with that for the week, and can work it on my own now .. thank the ever lovin LORD!...

Eating is going very well, finally hit Ketosis again, so smooth sailing.. I hope I can keep this up during these party times and holidays.. i know for sure I will NOT SWEAT IT!!!... if I want to try something that I LOVE, I will.. and not feel guilt

If it is something that I don't really love.. I am gonna pass it by... we shall see!!!

Hope all of you have a wonderful day!!!! Be back soon!

[Meek75]

Good Morning Ladies!!
Stopping by to say hello. Busy, Busy, Busy.

Sounds like you are doing AOKAY on Atkins! You know, no matter what diet I do, I know Atkins is my #1. I will forever go back to it...

Happy Friday Deb!! Happy Friday my Friends!

BTW - Weighed in today. No loss. Weighed in yesterday. No loss. Not complaining one bit since I am eating well. Today our boss is taking our Dept out to eat at a steakhouse. Not sure if I am making my window from the time I start lunch and closing it at 5 or 6 or making it a cheat day. Only reason I am would make it a cheat day is that it's going to be a long day for me. After work I am going to go to my dad's church to pack sacks (sammies etc) for the homeless (an endeavor we started last year). Anyway, my sister and I and a bunch of family and friends will be packing the stuff and when done we head out to the streets of Chicago and pass them out. Last year we were out til about 1 in the morning. This year we are starting earlier but plan be out longer. So you see my dilemma? :lol (oh what a dilemma to have huh? ) Seriously tho', I will "wing" it....

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL day!!! Off to work I go....

Have a WONDERFUL BLESSED DAY MY FRIEND!!!!!

[Meek75]

Good morning to you all. Just stopping by really quickly. I gained and then stalled so I'm doing a protein test to get my weight moving again. I'll let you all know how it goes. Back to JUDDD on Tuesday of next week. I love Atkins too, but realistically, I can't eat like that forever. I thought I could, but it's just so hard. I think I'm burned out or something . I can def do it every other day though, but not EVERY DAY .

This protein test that I'm trying is a short term diet to get my weight going, but JUDDD is now my lifestyle. No more flippity-flopping for me. JUDDD is it! .

Either way, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DO GRRRRRRRRRRREAT on our plans!!!

TRYING TO!!! haha... but mostly I am just eating more one day, followed by less the next .. low carb Atkins most of the time, but sometimes I eat up to 50 carbs net... Depends on what is happening..

So far I am loving it though. I know I don't go down to 500 cals on my DD though.. just eat LESS on alt days..
