Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Hello everybody! It's been a few days since I've checked in. So, this week has been good. Water going in slowly...vitamins...not so good...exercise awesome!
I have taken a new interest in biking! I got a 'big butt' squishy seat that I love! And I've added on a seat for 1 of my kiddos to go with me! They love it, as do I!!!
On Wed. we went 5 miles on, Thurs. around 3.5, and Friday just around 2.5. My legs are a little sore...but not too bad. We had a busy day today with Graduations and I'm on-call tonight so I can't go too far, so not much exercise in other than chasing the kiddos around!
take care...keep up the great work ladies!!!!

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Hiya Everybody!!! This is dying down a little bit, and I know that I am partly to blame... When the cat is away the mice will play? LOL


So let's get this back going strong. I will try to get here everyday at least once. If not more. I am hoping everyone is doing well with all of the program. Focus on all of the aspects. Don't let yourself get into a rut. I know six weeks is a long time, but believe me it will be worth it. Staying on track is key. Think about how you will feel in June when it is summery all the time and you are wearing shorts that may be a little shorter, or skirts that you wouldn't wear last year because you felt to uncomfortable about it. Tank tops feeling confident about your arms. And the compliments you are going to receive from all those folks that notice the BIG change in your body.


Ok, I am motivated again! Just thinking about all of the benefits of ...

water
exercise
eating well
vitamins
staying slave free to the scale

... is astounding!


Let's keep it going ladies! I can't wait to see all of the after pictures around here!!!


Try sending an encouraging PM to as many members of this challenge as you can. If you are looking for a list of members, I put a roll call post back near the begining. I'll add the link in in a minute.... here it is!

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Good Sunday morning everyone.... well today is measure day, so here we go..... drumroll ..... total inches lost this week ....3.5 inches.... total todate....13.25 inches! The scale is gathering dust somewhere in the house, I'm not sure where it is right now. I had a couple of rough days this week... over in calories... under in calories. Water has been ok but not great... could improve. Taken all my multi's etc., using Fitday,....oh yes the exercise.... that's a work in progress... some days are amazing... other days suck. This little tirade just proves I am human and sooooo far from the perfect AA'er. You're all keeping me honest and trying to improve.... Bring on week 4!

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOO EVERYBODY! So, how is everyone doing? Not many post going on!
Hope everyone is still doing great on the challange!
I will be measuring tomorrow, this weeks fitday is good, water okay, vitamins still not good...need to get them in! I sooo forget! I don't take any other meds so I have to find a way to remember! Exercise is going good. I didn't do too much today. I had a busy night at work so I slept most the day away..but while I was up, I had to get the boat ready for next weekend, CAMPING! And my first time in my swimsuit where other people will see me since I lost 'some' weight! Kinda exciting and scary! So, after getting the boat halfway together, it was a mess, I had to get the kids around, make dinner and it was off to work I go!
Take care, hope to see everyones measurements soon and the inches just falling off!

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Good evening all!!! Sorry I haven't been around much lately at all, this wedding is really stressing me out and with only 6 weeks to go, we have so much to do its ridiculous! Let the family fighting begin, that's all I have to say LOL

Things have been kind of rocky here for me lately; TOM is visiting so I'm feeling kinda bloated and ready to eat everything in the house! Stress+TOM=Blah.

I did my measuring today because I absolutely forgot to do it Tuesday! I'll post them in my journal! From the day I started up until today, I have lost a total of 35 inches, which is amazing to me! I'm not sure if the body fat percentage is accurate since is solely based on my measurements right now and not weight. I did have to weigh at the Dr. office last week Sorry y'all. I haven't done any weighing at home though!

Hope everyone is doing great! I promise to check in more frequently to scare the spiders away!!!

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Heatherm422...WELLLLL......if you HAD to weigh...WHAT WAS IT! Was it awesome...as someone who has not weighed...I'm dying to know someone elses results...come on...spill them! LOL
Look at those inches lost!! A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!!

Don't get TOO stressed out! Trust Me! It won't be that of a big deal a few months done the road! You'll look back and think...why was I so worried! Just have fun...and toss the negativity from the family aside! Remember, you're the bride!

Congrats again on your great loss!

(Now, what other time in our lives do we get to go around congrating people on their loss! In the medical field...not usually!)

[hubbys_girl]

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

LOL CD! That is true, you don't get to congratulate people on loses very often eh?

Heather, don't worry about not being around, almost everyone seeme to be MIA lately. (me included)

Thanks for sweeping away the spiders.... I hate spiders!


I agree with CD. Don't worry about the wedding too much. It will take care of itself for the most part. And anything that goes wrong no one will notice very much anyhow. I know what you mean about the family fighting. IMHO family members that cause drama are usually looking to be the centre of attention. And it is your day, so shine like the star that you are and tell the family to save the drama for their mama, cuz you aren't having it!!

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Welcome back HB I know what you mean about being so very busy. I just finished a 2 year move from ranch to ranch ~whew~ . Just keep doing what you've been doing so well. We all know you're thinking about us like we're thinking about you too!

[Kntrylady]

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

35 inches!!!! Wow Heather... that is impressive. Besides stressing about the wedding (which you really don't need to do ya know. Everyone will be so busy watching the bride and groom they won't notice the details), what have you been doing for such impressive results?

Keep it up and relax...............

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Hey guys.... For those of you having a hard time taking vitamins. I went to Costco and got the liquid Vitamins. I keep them in the refrigerator, but put a shotglass in the bathroom that I use to measure the vitamins with. I grab the shotglass and take the vitamins before I brush, wash the shotglass and stick the end of the toothbrush in the glass.

Works for me

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

HI All!!
Well I had a shameful week. I only lost about an inch, did not follow plan andjust keep picking myself up, and starting again. I continue to exercise, and take my vitamins, and drink my water, and all of that good stuff

Here is to a better week! How are the rest of you doing??

[Kntrylady]

Re: Atkins Attack, May 1st - June 15th.

Hey Kim,
I'm sorry you're having a rough time staying with this WOL. I can tell you're motivated since you are staying with the group. Are there any particulare food triggers that are making this hard for you? Anything you are missing that maybe I (we) can give you a sustitute idea? Feel free to send out an S.O.S. and I can share what works for me. It sounds like your doing great in all the other areas. Keep it up and jump back on the wagon again.
You can do it...
