back again!
Hi everyone!! This is a big year for me, and I want to be thin and healthy! I had great success with Atkins in the past, and I can not tell you why I stopped!!
My biggest problem with my re-start is my TOM. I have 3 weeks of it, and 1 week of freedom. I have been to the doctor, just to make sure all is O.K., at 46, I am in the pre-menopause stage. I love the diet, it is so easy for me (down 7lbs.), but the non-stop TOM makes me (and my husband, poor guy) wonder if I can hold out. I had a brief problem with it when I started back in ‘04, and this week I did low-fat to see if it would stop, and sure enough, after 5 days, gone!! Any advise?? Should I just "grin and bear it"? 
[
It is what it is….make it work!!

I just can’t stay away, lol! My last restart was in 2005 and I have flipped, flopped and floundered my way to be heavier than I have ever been in my life. I was going to the gym, which only prevented me from gaining but that closed last month and since I was given a donated membership due to our financial hardship, we can’t afford for me to go to another one. So I’ve been really depressed and have been gaining again 
.
I struggle with low carb but I know that it is the only way that I can lose weight as it is the only thing I enjoy for more than a few weeks. I have Candida (sp?..yeast problems in other words) so low fat/high sugar diets do more harm than good. I did the rice diet for a while. Worked great but I could not do it for more than a week and have any semblance of sanity 
So back to low carb I go. I need to lose about 250lbs to get into the normal BMI range but I would be more than happy losing 200. At this point, I would be thrilled beyond reason with losing 100lbs! I know I am going to struggle so I will be reaching out a lot. I will say this now to make myself accountable. I need to do this. I want to live again. I don’t want to be scared for my life every day. I deserve to be happy 
Anyway, since it’s been a while, I’ve been a member of this board…forever, lol!! (well, a really long time, can’t remember how long). I’m a SAHM to two great kids and we’re homeschooling. I suffer depression and I am being horribly affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder right now. I loved going to the gym and miss it but I know I need to start exercising soon. I will probably do WATP, but DH and I are talking about getting Turbo Jam (I can get this through inter library loan so I can see if we like it first).
OK, that’s it for now. I look forward to getting acquainted and reacquainted with people

Hello everyone. I am not sure that anyone remembers me, but I was a member a couple of years ago. At that time I lost 76 pound by following Atkins and excercising. I was a member of tough love and other groups. I injured my foot and everything fell apart.
Well I am back with hat in hand. I have put on all the weight that I had originally lost. I feel terrible. I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself and stumbled my old book mark and started to read. I saw people who are in the same boat that I am in and decided if they have the courage to try again, so do I.
So here I am ready to go. I will be using this thread to make a journal of my journey. WooHoo. I AM BACK!!

And I hope to do it right this time. I’m considering a few different plans but thought I would take the first step and post since I’ve been gone so long. I’d like to say that I have a check list and I’m raring to go but the truth is I’m not sure which lc plan to follow. What I do know is that I’m ready to make a change and I want to be successful this time.

Hi everyone. I am back in the group (again). Have been beating my head against the wall with this whole weight loss thing and have decided that this way of life was the most successful – and the easiest to follow. I am enthusiastic…up beat…and realistic. I will be browsing the site this evening…looking for inspiration…btw…can anyone tell me how to put a pic on my profile..little computer illiterate here!!

Hello everyone. I am back. I started atkins today. was hard. Hopefully I will make it through this two weeks. I did last year but this time it seems harder.
Today I had 2 eggs with mushroom, onions, olives and cheese (I told him bacon too but I guess he didn’t hear me)
I also had some cheese slices.
Then at lunch I had two hamburger patties with mushrooms and olives and cheese
Dinner I had some chicken, and salad and sugar free jello with whipcream. I also had some sunflower seeds which I know are a no no but i needed something to much. I only had a few. and water of course and one diet cherry pepsi. I was going to walk but I just felt too tired. I cooked up some bacon and will take that tomorrow to munch on. Any helpful advice is very welcome. Also, my husband works as an electrician and takes his lunch. What do you suggest for him for his lunches, he wants to try the program too. Thanks again and I am glad to see everyone again.

Well, I jumped back in after taking a few months off and getting really sick. Found that I am sensitive to more grains than I thought. Also gained back half the weight. I guess I quit because I was losing so slowly. Then I realized that i was at least getting smaller not larger. So back to the drawing board. My biggest problem was sweets! I had an absolute need to eat tons of chocolate. I ate a ton and then stopped cold turkey. Am on my 14th day and feeling pretty good again.
It is amazing how much worse I felt when I added carbs. I am so glad to be back and to be with "friends" who understand the need to do this.

Hi Everyone. I haven’t posted much the last couple of weeks. Real life has taken over and I have had to put my internet life on hold. My Dad was in the hospital for a couple of days so I had family staying with me. Had a family dinner which was a 2.5 hour drive one way. Ect.
I am walking about 15 miles a week and I am still stuck. I am seriously considering switching to Fat Flush. I am going back on strict Atkins induction for 2 weeks to see if it helps. I am actually up 2 lbs from my siggy weight and despite all that has been happening at home, I am not cheating. I think I may be suffering from carb creep. After being on this 1.5 years, I think I am getting a little lax with counting carbs. There is no way I should be gaining weight with walking this much. At this rate, I’ll be 100 before I get to goal! So 2 more weeks on Atkins and if no results, it’s Fat Flush for me.
So hi to all the new people I have missed and congrats to everyone that has made a new goal!

hi everyone! I am back once again . I did a BFL challenge (well 9 weeks of it) in the summer, and was really dissappointed in my results. I have gained about 15lbs since then, and have also been diagnosed with a binge/compulsive eating disorder. I would like to progress with working out a little more slowly than i did last time (i just jumped right in). What would be recommended? I have done the treadmill at a 15% incline 3.5 speed for 35 minutes a couple times a week, though not consistently. I also have done UBWO on the days i do cardio. is 2 times a week consistent enough to yield some strength gains and energy gains? I am at a place where more than about 2 times a week is overwhelming as i try to get my eating back on track as well. any help or advice would be appreciated.

Hello everyone. You guys might remember me. I really only posted a little, though so maybe not. Anyway, I have been lurking and posting a little since November. Well, I hit a stall and panicked, so I tried Atkins to see if I could lose faster. Well, to make a long story short, I discovered I must have low blood sugar issues. After trying Atkins twice, I could only make it past day 2 before I started feeling like I was about to blackout. So, I am back to the beach. I am going to try really hard to do the daily check in and ask questions this time. I usually lurk for meal ideas and to find answers to some questions. But I have realized that those of you that actually post seem to be more successful. Plus, it seems fun. So I will try to post everyday. And please be very critical. I must have been doing something wrong before because I just stopped losing after I hit 25 pounds.

Hi,
Well guys I’m back on track again to lose the weight after a rough couple of months in which my weight went up to 280 (20 stone)..
One month in I’m down to 266 (19 stone)…
I’ve been swimming every other day and determined to get fit….
I’ve also read up on the CLA/GLA Combo and I’m starting them today…
This board is a great resource and it’s used by many people (silent users who don’t often post…).
Thanks for all the great information that’s updated everyday….
Good Luck From Ireland

Hey! – it’s been 4.5 years since I was here – good to know you’re still here for me…
Wanted to share..
I have since been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I have been taking 3 different medications to get my blood sugar under control. Not working. My Dr. threatened me with insulin. That got my attention PRONTO! I have been on Atkins Induction for 1 week – to the letter – at my docs advice. My reading this morning was 108 – as opposed to 212 a mere 1 week ago, my energy levels are soaring, my bra is not tight, i feel better, I’m sleeping thru the nght and lastly, the unsightly and embarassing psoriasis i have been plagued with for 5 years is all cleared up! Not sure the two are connected – but i wouldn’t be surprised!
I’m glad to be back!

Hello there. Its been several years since I left the Low Carb WOL and I am returning…again. Of course, we all know the horror stories of trying everything and still not being able to lose weight and keep it off. I have to humbly admit that low carb was the only woe that really worked for me. Now, here is the problem. I feel like its really hard to get back into it. I tried today but my will power was just not there. So, i will try again tomorrow and I thought that the best thing to do was come here and gain support from all of you. Wish me well as I try to get things going here…
thanks

I know LC works. I lost 65 pounds 5 years ago, but I stalled, I quit and I have regained most of it back. I would estimate that in my lifetime I have lost the same 50-60 pounds about 6 times. My heart is in my hands this time. I have got to make this work. I am so bogged down by all of this extra weight that I feel terrible, look terrible, and spend way to much time in my home to avoid seeing anyone who will take one look at me and realize what a failure I am. I know I am being negative, and I have to turn these thoughts into an I CAN DO THIS attitude. I will. I just have to get back into the swing of things.

Back again….
and it’s different this time. Every time I’ve come back, it was because I was eating anything and everything. For the past month, I have been doing Weight Watchers (lost 31 pounds in 5 months in 2002). I just can’t do the processed food and even though I have been exercising on my treadmill for 45 minutes/5 days a week for the last 7 weeks, I’ve lost a whopping 3.6 pounds in one month. I’ve been doing their flex points plan and even their core plan is more processed than I care to consume. I know it’s 3.6 pounds less and that’s how I am looking at it.
What is surprising to me is that I have not been losing inches either!
I am going to stick with Atkins this time once and for all and finally. The last time I did it, I lost 6 pounds in one week. I drink a lot of water, am exercising regularly again and I know that this time it will be more steady for me because I am sticking with it.
Thanks for reading…

I was a memmber here several years ago. Can’t remember what my login was though so now I’ll just go with Mellowed now.
Back when I was here before Kimmers was just another member but now I see she has moved on to bigger things.
Well anyway, I kinda have my own routine that is a mix of Atkins and protein Power but mostly my own way. Shouldn’t be to hard to get back into it.
I’ll clean and restock my cupboards soon as I can afford it and get started.
Just get rid of ALL the bad stuff. (Hopefully the beginning of next month but I may have to put it off till New Years Day) That’s how I did it last time and it worked out good.
Well, see y’all around.

I’m starting over again today. (post my PB&J on wheat for breakfast!)!!
This is so difficult for me for some reason! – I’ve gained all the weight back that I lost in my last attempt to LC (about 2 months ago) and them some. Its awful!
I did LC 3 years ago and lost 40 pounds in 3 months – was diagnosed as a pre-diabetic (still am) and was so scared that I stuck to LC by the book, weight came off so fast. Now I’m breaking all the rules of LC and eating whatever I want, whenever, and completley upping my chances of becoming a diagnosed diabetic.
I NEED to lose this weight. I need to realistically shed 30-35 pounds. Maybe even 40.
I’m at 160 now at 5′3. No good.
Please help! I need to cut back on the fats too due to the diabetes, so it needs to be low carb, and low fat (I cant eat bacon and cheese everyday) and I dont want to live off of Salads.
Obviously I need to start excercising too. I’d love to lose 20 pounds by Christmas, I dont know if thats do-able though.
HELP! SO FRUSTRATED AND FAT!

Hi everyone. Not sure if any of you will remember me or not. I was a frequent poster a while back. I went from 191 to 143-ish on Atkins. Well, I have been a very bad girl
It just snuck up on me. I am 165 lbs. I am so down on myself. I knew better.
Well, I am starting my induction tomorrow and I will lose it again.
Looking forward to your posts.

Back Again….
Hello everyone.
I am back again. It has been a long year for me. It his been filled with a lot of stress, including a miscarriage and my dh being downsized after 13 years at his job. Needless to say, I am at my heaviest weight ever 212lbs.
I even have considered weight loss surgery. My dh was not in agreement with that, but he knows how miserable I am and he said it was my body, and he would support my decision. Well, in all the looking at the lap band and the laparoscopic bypass, I decided I couldn’t do it. The procedures scared me to death. It has made me realize, if I am going to lose this weight, I had better get a move on it.
I have to go to a conferance in May in Orlando, and I would like to be able to shop in the misses section and not the plus size. That is my goal. I will weigh, but I am going to focus on how my body looks as much as the scale weight. For a funeral a couple weeks ago I had to purchase a 2x in a top and an 18w in a skirt. I have never worn those sizes before. It really upset me.
I ordered several low carb cookbooks that were recommended by members of this site, and they should come in from amazon on monday. I am going to the grocery tonight and officially starting tomorrow. My dh and I joined the ymca near our home and have made plans to go tomorrow night. Our goal is to go at least 3x per week, more if we can. But we realize we have two kids who are both in basketball, ds is also in gymnastics, dh does scouts, and both do awanas on wed.
It feels good to have made the decision to do this on my own. I told my dh I was going to take the money that we would have spent on surgery and have a tummy tuck and lift my girls up where they used to be when I lose my excess poundage. Gives me a goal!
Looking forward to getting to know all you again. Kat

Back Again
Four years ago I managed to dump 75 pounds in 10 months with Atkins. Slowly gained it back by believing I could eat carbs again. Lost 30 pounds again a year ago – gained it back. I think my problem has been all the "low carb" foods that are available such as Dreamfield’s Pasta, low carb tortillas, and low carb breads. The first time I kept it pure and had great results. Will attempt to do it that way again – slow but sure. I’m glad this site is still here to help. Aloha from Hawaii.

Hey everyone! Stopped doing lowcarb once I was diagnosed with heartburn and digestive disorders. Well my anxiety is through the roof and lowfat eating did not help with the heartburn. Could getting off lowcarb make my heartburn worse. I feel so tired all the time and am slowly gaining weight. Any advice anyone?? I loved the energy I had on lowcarb. I have been eating bagels with fat free cream cheese and lowfat cereal for the past few months.

Hello to everyone, I hope every one had a wonderful Turkey day! I’m posting on this site and also on the century site, seeing that I have over 100lbs to loose. I’ve been lurking and posting once in a blue moon on this site, but I made up my mind today I would start and make my self accountable for my actions today. So today I’ve start this WOE, and I’m praying that I make it to goal. I’m so disgusted with myself right now, I can see straight, it doesnt make any sense on how I’ve let myselft get this big. But that’s water under the bridge now, I just need to get on track and get going, I know that WOE works, I jus have to make it work. I’m asking you guys to keep my in your prayers and to give me support. I will try to post as often as I can.

Hi, I am back after taking a detour this summer from low carb. I have lost weight and kept it off for several years this way but for the last year I have been floundering. No excuses. I celebrated my 45 birthday a few weeks ago and don’t like what I see. I know I have to fully committ to be successful and am ready. Wish me luck, I will need help to stay on track.

Well, I had lost so much weight so quick at the beginning of the year, then got laid off. I even kept that ugly weight off through 2 months of being off work for the first time in my life…then it happened. Depression…comfort food. Ugh. I resorted to Cold Stone ice cream and beer.
Now I’m back at work and took a good look at myself. Fortunately, I only gained 1/2 of the weight back that I had originally lost, but it’s time to finish this up!
I am on day six of induction and only was tempted once, but didn’t give in. My goal is the same…get down in weight before my trip to Peru and Bolivia in November…Wish me luck!

I decided to once again really commit myself to LC- I haven’t really been on plan for about 5 months, gaining about 15lbs during that time.
Today is day 3 of Induction- down 4 lbs already! This time I’m going for broke- halfway there is no longer acceptable. 150 here I come!

I am back again and will really need some support. Life has been horrible to me . Now I am trying to re-adjust to how I have to live the rest of my life because of it and being even fatter is not a plus. I did well a few years ago with the support of this board so this is why I came back. I will be lurkiing for a while to refresh what I may have forgotten. But when I get up and going again I will be seen onboard just as often as before. Wish me luck.

Back Again
Well, I think I’ve "rejoined" this board committing to myself to get back on the program. The problem that keeps me failing is that I am really disgusted by eating meat. I was a vegetarian for over 2 years, but just did not eat healthy and was overweight and always sick. After doing Atkins I have changed my tastes for foods. I love vegetables and beans. I do well with more carbs in a day – 20-50 is my good range. If I go too low too many days, I get dizzy and weak. I usually eat the extra carbs in way of fruit or a slice of rye bread and that is ok for me.
I have read TaDa’s suggestions and I think I’m going to be ok getting into a Low-Carb semi-veg lifestyle. I used to eat a lot of peanut butter and have discovered I am allergic to it. I’m ok with peanuts and natural peanut butter, but it’s not as easy to eat as the regular stuff.
I plan to eat fish, dairy, and eggs in terms of meat products.
I guess I was wondering how many people do this and is there anyone interested in getting a group together. I did very well when I had a group before. I read a previous post about people talking about creating one, but I can’t find it. What do you think? I could really use some support and suggestions to keep me focused.

Well a bit of history. I low carbed for a year and got down to my goal weight. About April of last year things got really really hectic and nightmarish at work working 20 hour days etc. Made it very hard to cook and maintain my low carb lifestyle when the only places open to get food at 1 in the morning is taco bell etc. So unforuntaly thru the year I gained my weight back as would be expected.
So well to make a long story short I am back!!!!
I just finished my first week of induction and am down 9 lbs. Really easy to stay motiviated with a first week like that! I fought the headache the first 2 days but that is past now.
My challenge comes in that I am going on a trip for 6 days starting wednesday. well since I am determined that it won’t catch me I am going armed and ready.
I am taking my breakfast fixins with me (precook bacon,etc) as all of the motels I am staying at have breakfast bars with microwaves (also those wonderful homemade waffles that I will need to avoid) so all i will have to do is pop my things into microwave heat them up and walla my breakfast is handled. For lunch I am premaking develed eggs and some premade wraps. I know the tortilla isn’t actually good for induction but it is something easy I can premake and keep in ice chest. and actually in the atkins cook book they do list a wrap that is approved for induction using the low carb tortilla. Since I will not have been able to get my salad veggies or any veggies in at lunch I will be doing all the veggie this for dinner. This will be the one meal each day I will eat out but I also think dinner is the easiest to do out. just get chicken, fish or meat of somesort, salad and veggies and I am good to go.
My main issue with the trip is going to be that I usually like to snack while I drive so to stay induction ok I am taking along canned olives.
So We shall see how the 6 days affects me. I also plan to do my walking each morning. at home I do my bike but it can’t come with me.
so that is my story I am back.

Started low carbing two and half years ago, lost 40 pounds. Kinda went off and on (but mainly on) up until about two months ago. Well I"m back after gaining about 7 pounds. (Not too bad for what I was eating). I’m really excited about being back. Its taking alittle work but I know it will be worth it in the long run.
You start off just cheating a little, then it becomes a way of eating. You start feeling tired, grumpy, and frumpy. So its time to get back on the wagon, this is my third day back on track. Feeling a little tired but I know that in a few more days the energy will kick in.

Back again! :(
I am looking for alot of support! I have recently started induction again! I am so dissapointed in myself and my "failure"! I was moving along successfully with the Atkins way of life got down to 175 lbs. About 10-20 lbs from goal. I got pregnant had my beautiful little girl and whamo! Went carb crazy! Here I am back to 223 lbs. I started induction on Monday and it seems so much harder than it did the first time. Not to mention that I lost weight the first day initially and now four days in I am peeing like crazy but I haven’t lost anything! Will I be able to this time?? I stopped taking the diuretic the doctor had me on. However, since the last time I was here I am now on Atenolol for a racing heart. I gained alot of weight after my daughter was born because my doctor put me on anti depressants and told me I wouldn’t gain! RIGHT! That depressed me even more and I gave up and ate whatever I wanted. Well here I am willing to start over and dissapointed that I have to. My sticks aren’t turning but I think its because they are old??? The expiration on the bottle says 2006 but they have been open and unused for almost two years. Anyway, I could use some support if anyone has any wise advice I would appreciate it. I don’t want to go on this journey alone!

Back Again…
I had forgotten how inspirational everyone here was!!!
I had initially started Atkins in May ‘03 to lose weight for my Oct ‘03 wedding and stayed on plan until Aug ‘04. I have since slipped up and have absolutely no excuse for it NONE!!
I am so upset with myself
Since my 6 month slip up I have been completely out of control with my eating, feel like absolute crap and now 40 lbs later I’ve reached that desperation point.
I will be reinducting tomorrow and I am really looking forward to it because I know I can do it and I know it works!
I also realize now how important it is to make this WOE a lifelong change, no amount of carbs are worth the way I feel now!
Just wanted to say hello to everyone, and I am grateful that this board exists for me to come back to for motivation.
Shame on me!

Yeah, it’s me from the grave….where have I been? (Look below for a hint )
Okay, I’m obviously in love and have lost my mind. My mom teases me and said if I continued adding to our family I will reach my goal probably with one or two more naturally. "My man" (yes, I love saying that silly, Jerry Springer-type phrase) thinks he has lucked out and cannot believe I’m trying to lose more weight. 
Anyway, back to LCing! I need this board to stay motivated and lose the last 15 pounds. I’ve opted to lose it with LCing instead of the 2-year workout I’ve been having.

Back again???
Hello! Here I am. After months away. Back in total carb dependancy.
I started low carbing w/ a dear friend of mine (EmunahD) at the beginning of 2003. Went on induction. Had a small success as far as weight loss, 5 or so pounds. Experienced great benefits in the health & lifestyle realms. Felt in control of eating & cravings… a new experience. Problems relating to range of motion due to back surgery miraculously disappeared.
I stuck to the WOE relentlessly. Monitered my ketones religiously, stayed in purple. Started to become more regular with exercise. DIDN’T LOSE ANYTHING FOR 6+ WEEKS. Very frustrated… gave up.
I thought I could just be more in control. Do it my way. After all, if I could do the lowcarb WOL, that showed I could control my weight destiny. I had willpower. Right? WRONG.
I now weigh more than I ever have, except when in the third trimester of pregnancy. I am in the massive throws of sugar dependancy. Desperate.
I am I crazy for thinking the result could be different this time? I hear people all the time say Atkins didn’t work for them, or a friend of theirs. I know it works for so many! I read Dr. Atkins book. It’s supposed to work if you work it… right!
Please help me with your experience. Are there those out there that had "false starts", then experienced success after trying again? Does this WOE just not work for some?
I love the way I felt last time. In control. Supported. Surprisingly healthy & vital. But I feel I must lose the weight. I am 30 years old. All of the women in my family struggle with weight. End up very over weight & unhealthy. I am desperate to break the "curse" of my genes. I know this sounds very dramatic… I’m not the drama queen type… I’m just at the end of my rope…
Thanks for listening.

I would definately have won any wet t-shirt contests being held. It took a while for the pups to settle down and the cat decided he wanted fed. So finally at 5:30 I got to go back to bed. Very exciting.
MICHAEL! So glad you hopped back on the wagon! No matter HOW many times you leave us (lol) we’ll be right here, waiting with open arms to welcome you back (and maybe pop ya on the back of the head when neccessary! lol)
all I can say for myself is live and LEARN, *sigh* well, I am trying! Been back on for over and year and a half now, losing slowly but losing. 
well, maybe a little of that too. but that’s my short term goal. 
I wanted weight loss surgery too, but I did not want all the extra skin after I lost the weight

I’d also never really got into ketosis – I had, but not heavily into it. So I did the fat fast for 3-4 days and really went into ketosis!! And when I went back on Induction I cut mushrooms out of my diet – because, despite them being fave veg, I have a

I know what you mean, i have gained 15 lbs since the first time I started. My sis is getting married in a year so I have to trim alot so I feel great in that dress I will need to squeeeeeeeze into.
It can and will be done. We can do this…Think of the first big thing that you completed successfully… If you did that you can do this. I am preaching to myself, Just trying to build my pep as well as others. I need all of the go go juice I can get.
So good Luck you will do it. I know you can.

ya i am in a wedding september and need to fit in the dress i already have. I am thining of trying the kimmer 3 day challenge. but not sure yet. thanks for writing back sorry it took so long to get back to you..
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Well, looks like we have something in common. I am excited for my sister to get married. She asked me to be her maid of honor, and I told her yes, she just has to give me enough time to lose at least 50 lbs. lol
This has been a trying week for me. I about had a melt down Friday night. I was in major carb withdraw. Seriously!
Did you go thru that? What do you do to help it?
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:16 pm
i have been back on atkins for about 13 days and this time it is not like the last time i did this . Last time i dropped 15 lbs in the two weeks and went down almost 2 pants size, but this time i am not noticing anything, also i keep checking but i am not in key tons which doesn’t make much sense. when i really want carbs i just think about how much i loved feeling thinner. and i remember that nothing tastes as good as thin feels and it is true.
if my kids are eating a pizza, and i have apiece of chicken, i jusst tell my self, i will be just as full eating my chicken in the end as they will be eating there pizza. so it doesn’t really matter what you eat you will be fuller.positive thinking i guess.
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:16 pm
I will be the first to say that I at times feel it’s more challanging with the kids. I am 28 and have 2 daughters. But look at the big picture. The wedding is great motivation and we are here to help you any way that we can.
I got married last may and I think I weighed the heaviest that I had weighed ever, so to look back at my pictures…I hate seeing my weight.
if you have your mind set to drop this weight, you can do it. We can do it.
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:16 pm
you have lost allot of weight to thats great, january 19 i quit smoking and gained this weight really quick. so know it has to come off. i am down 5 pounds so far not as much as i would like but any is better than none. i haven’t had any bread, pasta, but i still am not showing being in ketones yet doesn’t make sense last time it was like 3 days and deep purple. i thought mabe i got bad strips so i bought new ones and they are reading the same.
any suggestions????
December 22nd, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Well I agree it is all in how you think. I have really had to just grab control of my mind. That is the battle feild. My withdrawls were not near as bad this week. I am still losing slowly, but i am losing. I think that i set my goals down below too hhigh. So i get dissappointed in myself real easy. I really just need to loose 1-2 lbs a week to loose the 50 lbs in a year.
The kid thing is the truth too.
I have two little girls 2 and 3 and they always want cookies and McDonalds etc. It is tough. but i have told my self that i CAN have what i want. But what i want is to lose weight, so it is my call. I do not like feeling that I am under a law. ya know
Well I hope yall have a blessed week
