    A Water Miracle

    Hello All,
    I have something I want to share! First of all, let me say that I reached the 10 pound mark this morning. I am beyond excited that it has been slightly over one month and it is working! My mini goal this week was to start drinking all my water. I had to force myself for the first couple of days, but now I actually wake up thirsty! I even went into a half hour meeting this morning without my water bottle and found myself reaching for it. Yum! And I am a water hater! Now, I am really enjoying it and feeling great. Atkins is really changing my life. Cheers.

    149.8/no weigh/ 119



    1st goal: 139 (earlier weight)
    what the rungs mean to me:
    rung 1 - more veggies
    rung 2 - dairy (some milk in coffee)
    rung 3 - seeds, nuts (mostly sprinkled on salads)
    rung 4 - berries, melon
    rung 5 - wine -
    rung 6 - beans, hummus
    rung 7 - other fruits
    rung 8 - carrots/ potatoes (nah, prolly not)
    rung 9 - whole grains (fresh Dutch breads...)
    Major Goal - 128 lbs/ healthy range
    (on to pre-maintenance)

    It's true. The more you drink the more you reach for it out of habit!. This was hard for me to get to as well. I am doing a gallon most days now. When I go back to work it will probably slow down a bit though.

    Congrats on the 10# loss!!!

      Thanks, the 10 lbs are incredible for me. I had to dig in the closet for something to wear because my work clothes are starting to look like pajamas. At what point should I go out and buy new? What a problem to have!!!

      Good luck as you head back to work. My co-workers much think I am nuts going to the bathroom every few minutes..
