Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Goodness gracious I am having a heck of a bad week get this I was back down to my low before my Dad's B day well the next day I was up 12 pounds What the Heck I only ate atkins friendly every knows and always makes sure I ahve food to eat Then the next day I was up 3 more pounds to make a 3 day weight gain of 16 POUND OH MY FREAKEN GOD!!! What the heck is going on with my body. I feel like a beached whale my feet even feel horrible. I have been doing what I always do but I ended up with a really bad asthma attack and I am thinking Well I have read this that when you have an asthma attack your body releases steroids to try to fight what's going on with your body this would make sence it got worse ove r 3 days and I am still up now but, on a ton of med I am really hoping to go back down. I know this is water weight but, can you say depression when you go to bed 207 and wake up 218 and the next day are 222 AHHHH. I was looking Onederland in the face I'm sure I'll still get there but, boy what a slap in the face this week.

I sure hope everyone eles is having a way better week then me.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Sarah, I am sorry about what has happened to you. We all have our cross to bear and clearly yours seems to be a heavy one. You gotta have faith though...Faith in what you are doing. I mean its obvious what happened..so you are just going to have to wait a little while longer to hit onederland. Big deal, you've overecome so much in the time you have spent on Atkins, this should should just be shrugged off like a flea.

You are strong girl, no matter what hurdles come your way you will hop them like it isn't nothing. Don't let anything keep you down Ever!

Strength beyond Strength.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

16 pound in three days can't possibly be from what you're eating. Is it possible to actually eat enough to gain like that??? It's gotta be the meds. Be faithful! It'll be gone in no time!!!

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Ok I was down 6 this morning thank goodness it's not my low but at least I am down from everything. Thanks so much for all the support. Fighting you know I won't give up like you said I have come too far and overcome too much to give up now and it is like a flea and I will just shrug it off but, I have to rest first.

I am feeling a whole lot better today thanks God for that I had to go on Antibiotics and am taking Advair now, with salbutamol and I have singulair to take at nigh I feel like a medical factory. I take 2 pills for my Thyroid in the morning and I ahve to get monthly injections for my B12 but, I am still here illness is never an excuse not to succeed I am a true testiment to that. Life hits me and I hit it back only 10 times harder.

Thanks for everything everyone you're all wonderful and I love this group.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Ok, I finally got off my butt this morning and walked 3 miles!!! I did my WATP tapes, my knee only hurt a little bit so I consider this progress. I ate awesome food today, drank all my water, took my supplements, and feel great. Ok, I know I sound rather excited, but I AM.

I hope everyone is doing great, sorry for not checking in in a while. Have a lovely weekend.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Is it weigh-in day??? I didn't get to the doc's office yesterday so I'm going by my own scale - will check in again on Monday after using a real scale - but I THINK I'm down three pounds. Can't change my ticker till it's official!!!

I'll be eating out of a cooler the next couple of days - traveling for baseball games - so I'm hoping Monday's check-in is as good as my scale. Will drink lots and lots of water......................

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Today is weigh in day. I was up one pound from last week but I lost 4 1/2 inches. So I guess it is that fluctuation deal or fluid. Anyway, I'm still losing inches.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Today is weigh in and I am the same and that is good, although I am still irritated about last weeks gain! But I feel better this week and I am on the program, and upping my water, so next week should be much better - at least I am praying it will be!!

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Summertime losing is harder than I thought it would be. I went berry picking last week and I think the sweat of picking in 105 degree heat must have offset the carbs in the blackberries because I actually lost weight. But it's been a struggle. Watermelon is also causing me angst. They're lo-carb fruits but who can eat just a little bit???????????? I don't dare head for the orchard much as the kids are begging. Peaches will do me in.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Still up 6 pounds so that sucks but, I'll lose it when my period goes I'm sure if not I will lose it soon after.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is well, I haven't had a chance to read through all the posts since I left yet but I plan to..

I just got back from my week long visit to Salem, Oregon. I was helping a friend move her stuff up there, but I also had a lovely time exploring Oregon, it is a beautiful state and the coastline was jaw dropping gorgeous!! I stayed with an incredibly nice family who did their best to cook me atkinsish foods, which was very nice of them (I had brought some of my own food just in case though). I wasn't always sure if their recipes were exactly legit though, since not all people really get what's allowed and not allowed on atkins. Anyway I managed to fit in some hiking here and some jumping jacks there so I think I did okay despite the change in routine.

Don't want to weigh myself yet though since it is night time. First thing in the morning i will find out if I managed to pull it off or not!

Take care!

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Sounds like you had a really nice time Mary and good job keeping up with the Atkins and also some exercise that is a sure sign that you are commited to this WOE and you should be so very proud of yourself for what you did this week long holiday.

I went swimming yesterday with my kids it was awesome. My 2 year old Evan loved the HUge slide there werte 3 flights of stairs going to the top of it and I must have climbed that baby 20 times with him he loved it and it was a really fast slide.

I have a wonderful time and dispite still being sick I am still exercising not quite as intensely but, today my arms are achey so I must have done something. We also went to the lake and I went in the lake with my oldest Daughter Lilianna and my middle girl Elaynna. We had fun it's been so long time since I felt the cold water on my skin wow how refreshing.

I better be on my way.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Was 234.1 today, which means I was successful this week.. I am so happy!!

In other news, it is 105 degrees outside and I am dying of heat!! I want to exercise but don't even want to move!! How is everyone else dealing with this heat?

[FightingTheFight]

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

How is everyone else dealing with this heat?

I am out working in it. I love the heat, I love being outside around 12-4 at least. I don't know why.

I am glad you are back Mary, we missed you so much!. did ya get pictures of the coastline? I would love to see it. 234.1? ha! I knew you could do this, remember when you wanted to go under 250? you are on your way girl.

As for me, I decided to weigh today since my last weigh in was quite inaccurate. 278! When I weighed, It was this afternoon, I already ate breakfast and lunch..so it may be lower than that but I'll take the 278. I am exhausted today, y'all can find out by reading my Journal, yeah I finally made one.

Well, hope all is well with everyone, I am about head to the store and pick up food for a while. Take care!
