Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Well weigh day is here and sure enough I've had a weight gain week of 5 lbs. My rings are tight and my ankles are swollen so I feel sure it is fluid. I sure hope that whooshie fairy comes to visit me soon. I lost in some places and gained in others with a net loss of .5 inches.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

I was 221.5 today. A loss of 1.75 pounds this week. Not too bad, but I know I will do better this week and hopefully get under 220 and move that ticker down one more notch

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

I'm here to admit my downfall.... Friday evening after all the preparations were finished to welcome 900+ elementary school children this Tuesday we decompressed with margaritas and a non-Atkins dinner. I enjoyed all of it - most especially the folks I was with so maybe next time I can enjoy it and not hit the hi-carb stuff - but suffered greatly all night long with horrible muscle cramps from hips to toes. I just don't understand that. But anyway, despite the fall from grace my clothing is still too big and I still feel good and I am back on track. Don't dare step on the scale though!!!

40 pound loss and holding.......

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

No doubt at least you didn't make it a week long binge out. You got total body craping basically from your body going into carb overload and having to shift from burning ketones to burning carbs for fuel. It's a big thing for the body to do and is also a big stresser that's why it's not good to go on and off plan cuae it does a HUGE number to the body.

I would definately stay away from the mscale for about 1 week and Don't do that again. ((WHIP))))((((WHIP))))

There you've been spanked now on With ATKINS.

Today is my 9 mile run I am going in a bit here when I know all of my meds have kicked in this morning so that I'm not feeling horrid half way through. EEEK hope I can finish it before 11am we'll se if I start at 8:45 I should be done and I hope my kids don't destroy the place.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

I am back from my daughter's wedding and the mini cruise - and managed to stay on the program - well, except for one margarita in Mexico and a glass of wine with dinner once or twice. I fully expected the scale to say I hadn't gained an ounce, but apparently I did - in fact it says I gained several (3 or so). I think I probably overdid the cheese while gone, but I am really surprised at the apparent gain and hope it is just water retention.

My problem now is that we came home to a house that had water damage due to a burst washing machine hose ( we are talking all the floors, and some of the drywall), so I have been really having a hard time staving off the emotional eating. I have succumbed a few times, but managed to keep it to legal foods, but more than I should eat - like cheese. And today I dipped into the forbidden Russel Stover .3 carb mint patties. There! I have confessed! maybe now I can get back on track.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Doris, are those .3 carb mint patties any good??? I've not wanted to pay the exorbitant price but am curious!

Sarah, thank you for going easy on me! I beat myself up pretty good but just had to get on with it. You're right that going on and off is tough on the body. I'm still feeling the aches in the muscles. Those cramps were unbelievable.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

wooo hooo Mary!!! That is awesome, congratulations!

I started the Slim in 6 program yesterday and I just finished my second day. OMG!!! I hurt absolutly everywhere. My butt hurts while I walk, WALK! It hurts to sit down, stand up, go up the stairs, pick up abi. Everything is so sore. I guess that means it's working though. I'm excited though I haven't felt sore in a long while, so I'm glad I got turned onto this.

Just went to the grocery store and I have some fajitas on the grill. Hope everyone is having a nice, healthy, holiday weekend.

"I started the Slim in 6 program......"


Yoly, I will have to check this out. I've heard of it but know nothing about it.

We welcome the kids back to school today so I was at the gym at 5am trying to get in some exercise. Dd starts back up swimming in the mornings next week which will end my exercise opportunities. The pool is in a rec center in another county and we can't afford the non-resident membership.

[yankee]

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Ack! Slim in 6 requires 60 minutes of exercise 6 days a week! I greatly admire your committment to this Yoly!

There's just no way I can do that. I know exercise is important but at this stage of my life there's not that kind of time - unless I didn't shower or change before moving on to the next thing and NOBODY wants me to do that!

Go Yoly!!!!

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

OK, I am hanging in there, but just by a thread - I hate the way my house looks, and I really want to eat something I really shouldn't - and whoever asked - the .3 carb mint patties are delicious and I think that is my problem - I really like them! But I KNOW they are not worth derailing my efforts to lose weight!!

So-o-o-o, back on the program! The contractor and flooring vendor folks come tomorrow, and if I begin to see some headway, that will help me feel better!

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Doris - throw the chocolate patties down the garbage disposal. They are poison and very addictive, I should know I was addicted. I can't even have that stuff near me, I know that it says .3 carbs per serving but my portion button must be broken because when I see those things I have to eat them a lot of them. I just don't keep them in the house anymore, keeps me sane. I'm so sorry to hear that your having all these issues with your house, keep with it, it will get better.

As for me I just started a new excercise program, Slim in 6. It is really kicking my butt, big time. I am sore in places that I didn't even know I could be sore at. I love it though and am already seeing results even after only 3 days. I can't believe it but am really happy. I also got some awesome workout stuff, I look cute in it and I love wearing it, then I rationalize, well if I'm gonna put it on I might as well workout in it. I hope everyone is doing well.
