Diana that is the best news about your knee. Wonderful that the chiropractor can help you.

I am trying to get my nerve to go for a walk. Afraid I will fall down again. My DH wants me to wait til I go see the specialist next wednesday. And see what the dr. has to say.

hi team your all doing so great.. :joy

[dreamof145]

Hello Sexy Sixers!! I feel like I've let you down. I haven't been around for a while, but I have been here in spirit. I won't go into the details of what is going on in my life, I'm a State President of a Writers' Group and I've had all kinds of problems the past few weeks. I don't understand why people have to fight all the time. Why can't they just work together towards a positive outcome....LIKE WE DO HERE> Thats why I enjoy you guys so much. Our goal is to help each other achieve success. That is why we are all doing so well!!!

Well, my friend and her husband (who started Atkins 1 1/2 weeks ago) are doing FANTASTIC. He's lost about 9 pounds and she's lost about 10. They look great. They both used to look so tired all the time and run-down. Now, they are bubbly and happy. He said his blood pressure is steadily going down, it is still high...but lower than it has been in the past 3 years. He said his belt was on the last notch and now he is three notches in. He is excited because his pants are getting lose and his shirt doesn't ride up his back because of the tightness around his belly. He said he feels smaller. It is a thrill to talk to them and hear the excitement in their voices as they are doing something that they never believed would happen. I am so proud of them!!

I haven't lost any weight in the past few weeks....But, I know from experience that is the way it goes. I am not cheating and I'm still exercising (have even bumped it up a notch). So, will play the game of wait and see what happens.

Glad to see that everyone here is positive and doing so well on their WOE and exercise. Our team is awesome!! Becky Sue, you continue to amaze me with your dedication and support of everyone else even though you are in such pain.

Hope to be around more often!!! GO SEXY SIXERS....WE ARE DOING IT!!

Dream of 145s friends..

Maybe since we lost a team mate, they could join under one identity and post a 19LB loss??? LOLOLOLOL, Guess that would be cheating, but it is a thought.... ensive


By the by, I have run THREE Times this week.. granted for 10,10 and thirteen minutes each, but that last one, the thirteen, I got some leg pain, or I really wanted to just keep going. And it is walk 2 min, run one, so it isnt straight running.. but for someone who hates to sweat, or be out of breath, and hasnt run in 12 ears...I am darn proud of myself.

WHOOOO HOOOO- kimberly

[Becky Sue]

I am proud of you Kimberly. Just be careful, don't take a nose dive Like I did! lol

We have missed you dreamof145!! So happy to see you back here at SEXY SIXERS!!
I think it is great that your friends are making great progress. You inspire us all to do the best we can.

We need sugarfreegirl and joanOH's losses to complete our totals for this past month. I know everyone is so busy with life in general, I hope they get back to us soon. I miss seeing everyone here at TEAM 6!!!

Keep up the great work SEXY SIXERS!!! We are getting there.

You guys are absolutely the greatest friends in the world. You always make me feel so good. 2big, I did go down last week and got a new ID and the policeman who did my new photo did a double-take and asked me to show him another form of ID. I don't know if that is standard procedure, but it made me feel like that couldn't possibly be me. lolol

I love you all so much and I love Dr. Atkins for finding this WOE and allowing me to change my life and live again.

I have more news to share with everyone (no--- I'm not preg)...but I am in a hurry, I am barbecuing and my kitchen is going to burn down if I don't get my butt back in there!!

Famous words from Arnold...I'll be back!!

[dreamof145]

Hello again Sexy Sixers. Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I had a great time. I went out Saturday evening with a friend. We went to dinner and then to a club to see her husband's band play. It was a lot of fun.

Well, if you remember my exercise partner who moved away to Vegas? Well, she met a girl at the gym and the girl was trying to lose weight and getting frustrated. My friend told her about me and she emailed me and asked me to help her. I wrote her all about the Atkins WOE. She is very excited and going to buy the book tomorrow. So....now I have 4 people under my wings that I am coaching.

Diana, glad to hear about your knee!! & Kimberly - I know you must be thrilled to be running!!! That is awesome. I don't know if I'll ever be able to run, my knees hurt so badly, but I'd love to do that. I did try once on the treadmill and the impact was too much for me. But, I love to hear about everyone else doing it.

I'm so proud of our team. We are all making great efforts!! WHOOPPEE Sexy Sixers!!! We are making it happen!!

[Becky Sue]

How's all you SEXY SIXERS doing?
Tomorrow I go back to Amarillo to the eye specialist to see how my injured eye is doing. I'll report and let you know when we get home tomorrow.

I haven't exercised since I hurt myself. Other than walked a mile one evening a few days ago. For quite a few days I was seeing double, so I was afraid I'd fall again. Tomorrow I hope to get a good report and then I can get with the exercise again.

Still haven't heard from 2 of our group about their losses. Maybe they will come back, sure hope so.

Hiya, Sexy Sixers. Ooo, Becky Sue, good look with that eye. Keep us posted. Dream, sounds like you had a blast. You look sooo marvelous! I'm making headway with this amazing chiropractor I have. Still no running, walking, or lower body weights, but I'm still at it religiously with my upper body. I'm back to swimming and got a good hour in this morning of drills. I'm on my bike too. I had to get new pedals and clips for my shoes. This is all new to me. I ride on my racing road bike inside. It's set up on a magnetic trainer and I wear biking shoes that actually clip into the pedal so that your feet don't leave the pedal at all. I'm learning so much about cycling. Like, there are four parts to pedalling one revolution. So much to think about! I'm having a hard time getting my cadence (revolutions of the wheel per minute) up to where it should be, which is 90. I'm at about 83 I guess. Mostly right now, my butt is killing me. I mean, OUCH. My trialthlon pals tell me it will go away in about two weeks, but to keep at it. Have a great day everyone!

Hello Sexy Sixers. Happy MID-WEEK. Well, I took off walking this morning and it was drizzling rain. I got about 1/2 mile and it started pouring the rain down. I hurried to the gym and did another mile on the treadmill. Of course now the sun is out and it is nice outside, but it is time for me to go to work in 1/2 hour, so will have to wait till tomorrow to enjoy a sunshine-walk.

I seem to be stuck at 184/185. I bounce up and down everyday...but am not getting discouraged. I know the weight will start to drop again in time. I did lose 3 inches last month, so I am not in a plateau...just not losing any weight at the present time.

Hope everyone is having a good week and getting visiits from Whooshie!!

[Becky Sue]

The eye specialist told me today that he was pleased with my healing. He said my eye would heal without him having to do any surgery. Thank Goodness! He did say it could take a few months before it is all healed. It has been 2 weeks and 2 days since I took my nose dive. I thank God I wasn't hurt any worse than I was. Hope you had a good day today!
Becky
ps. I have to admit, I did try to cover up the bruise on my cheak, but it still shows. ;+)

WOW!! Diana you are really dedicated. I am so happy your chiropractor is helping you so much. Keep up the great work.

Becky(Dream) You amaze me on how focused you stay. I want to be just like you!

Now I will get with my exercise program. I was afraid to do to much for fear of falling when I was seeing double and then not knowing if I would strain the injured eye with weightlifting. But now I know I can get with it and I will do that.

Yeah!!! SEXY SIXERS!! Rock on!

I'm SO relieved to hear that Becky Sue. *great big hug* I can't believe that it's been two weeks since your accident. Time is flying by. You did the right thing by not exercising, for sure. Your body went through some major trauma. I'd even ease back into it. Thanks for sharing that good news. I've been thinking about ya!

Oh, and yeah, I'm like a kid in a candy store with this exercise thing. I've never really been athletic since I've been overweight pretty much my entire life and asthmatic to boot. And when I was a kid, there were no inhalers. I must admit, my asthma has never been as good as it has been since I started this woe. Thank you, Dr. Atkins!

And thank you Sexy Sixxers for really inspiring me and keeping me motivated.

I'm still here and cooking along. I had quite a surprise the other morning when I weighed for the first time in a few days and had lost 3 pounds!

Today's my 15th wedding anniversary. :yikes Steve sent me a few pics yesterday, and this was my favorite:



I like the reassuring body armor and the fact that his helmet is fastened securely to his head. Good boy!

[dreamof145]

Happy Anniversary Toni and congratulations on the 3 pounds. What a wonderful Anniversary present that was.

Glad you're still hanging in there and getting good results!! This WOE really rocks. I still can't believe how wonderful I feel and thrilled I am that I started Atkins.

Rainy and cold here in Utah. Hope all of you are having a wonderful day. I walked on the treadmill this morning and will go back tonight late after my meeting. I'm seriously thinking of going to the indoor pool every Saturday for a workout. Gotta start bumping up my exercise a bit before summer comes.
