Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Where is everyone today?

Its a wonderful day today and we all need to express it! lol sorry guys, I am just in a good mood.

Tommorow is my measuring day, I am going to see how well I am doing. I am hoping to be in my 38's by the end of the week...I am soooooo close!

I am off to my Arabic lesson and this its to bed. Oh, I forgot to tell y'all, I've decided to begin learning arabic for the reason that I think it will help me out alot when getting a military career. Let me tell you though, its tough stuff.

Anywho...peach be with you all

I am down inches though mainly on my legs so I am really happy I have gone from get this 58 inches around my thighs to 46.5 WOW Can you believbe it I wish I had one of me in a bikini when I started it would have been scarey but, well worth seeing the differences.

Have a great day all be back tomorrow.

Hi Everyone

Have been away for a while but have read all missed posts and caught up with everyone's stories. Sounds like you're all doing well and are keeping up the good work. Sorry for missing another weigh in but am posting now so that any records being kept can be updated. By the way, is anyone recording results or is it an individuals job to keep track of their own numbers?

Well, on a happy note, I've lost a further 2 pounds as of last friday which takes me to a new low of 217. I weigh every friday so will hopefully have more good news in a few days, I'll keep my fingers crossed. I know I don't post that often but I find this thread totally inspiring so a big thank you to all that have kept this going and continue to inspire!

See you all soon

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Great job on the 2 pounds Holly-Nicole, that is awesome!


I was going to post this in my journal but I think I need a pep talk from those on my team. I feel so discouraged! I feel tricked, and cheated, I feel like someone lied to me and, and, .... just bad I guess. I know all of this is not true, that I am getting many of the benefits that Dr. Atkins promised me but I can't stand the process I guess. (Maybe it's just a bad day.) Let's start at the beginning...

I had gotten to an all time low of 196, I was so happy. Then my birthday came around, I did way too much drinking all week and when I got back on the scale I was at 201, I started crying on the scale that morning, I had actually kicked myself not only out of kitosis, but out of onderland too, I was so miserable. I worked really hard and got down to 199, thank goodness. Well since then I have been doing everything perfectly right. I am watching and limiting my carbs, I am eating about 1800 calories/day, I am drinking 100 oz. of water at least, I am taking all my supplements including new ones (biotin, B-6, calcium, and fish, borage, and flaxseed oils) and I am also excercising 4 times per week. I have measured myself and I haven't lost any inches, I step on the scale and haven't lost any weight.

I feel like crying, I am so desperate. I don't know what else to do. The last time I hit a big platue I started excercising a lot more, taking my supplements, and watching calories. Now I can't even think of what I should change up to get me through this small stall. Any advice?

How frustrating that sounds! I read an article once on this board that mentioned how you get the best results the first time you start atkins, and then if you go off and back on you don't lose as fast, and the more times you go on and off the less effective it is. I'm not sure if that's what happening to you, but I thought i would mention the phenomonen. you might need to just give it more time for your ketosis to fully get in gear. How long have you been stalled for? Either way, your MUCH better off staying on Atkins and eventually losing then you will be if you go off!! Hope things go your way soon!

Congrats on your loss, that's great!!

as for recording the weights, I could start compiling a chart, but I don't know what anyone's starting weight was at the beginning of the challenge. I don't know, should I try doing one anyways?

That goes for any Way of eating. Anytime you start screwing with your metabolisim, the hard it is for it to bounce back, and gets harder with age. BTW, you women have it worse since your metabolisims are already slower to begin with. Even more reason to stick to plan.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Good news people. I started TOM today, now I know normally this is not good news, in fact this is almost always preceded by much nagging and followed by an audible groan heard throughout the house. But not this time, this means that my inability to lose weight probably has to do with the fact that I am retaining water

Thank you for all your support. I work my atkins very, very hard, quiting is not and never will be an option for me. It is nice to know that we can all be here for each other during tough times. When we feel discouraged or are struggling with the everyday difficulties of this program, that's what being part of a team is all about, right?

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Yes that's what this group is for isn't it great knowing you can go somewhere whether you have a bad or good day.

I went for a nice jog yesterday it was hard but I still did it 3.45 miles. Today is weight day and I think i WILL GO FOR a bike ride as well depending on how hot it is.

Way to go on all the weight losses I am still not losing and am all over the place I will prevale though this happens to me every couple of months.

As for the woe not working if you go on and off it. It works no matter what really it does. Before I started this time I had been on and off this WOE thinking of it as a quick fix I was probably restarting well over 15 times. SO don't worry about it not working it will it was faster my first time but, I would say even this 20 somethingth time it's pretty fast. I have a different mind set now and am in this for the long haul forever my realization hit me November 6th 2004 I have been cheat free ever since in 2 days it'll be 9 months without anything I am not allowed to have on Atkins.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

I am thrilled to be able to say I have hit Onederland! My weigh in day for the Fat Blasters Challenge is actually not until Saturday, but I stepped on the scale early and VOILA!! I had planned to wait until Saturday to break the news, but I can't hold it in! I am so pleased!! And this board is a tremendous help, just knowing I have somewhere to go and rant/rave/dump/dance for joy/express myself/and be held accountable. Thank you and keep traveling with me on the way to GOAL!
