Re: Just Think! Roll Call Monday 13th

Good Morning People.

Cool news coming from everyone. It is good to here and quite motivational. I don't remember the last time I fit into a Large and was able to shop in the Misses department. It must be at least 6-7 years.

I am down 7# since starting induction on Tuesday of last week. I have been in Ketosis since day 2.

Yesterday I got home from Hiking and was extremely sore/tired. I suffer from arthitis and haven't had to take my pain meds since getting off the demon carbs. But I did break down and take a few pills yesterday. I am hoping that when I get my weight down more I will have less pain.

This morning my Husband asked me I if I could please buy some food for him and my daughter..... LOL They need diet soda and ice cream cookies etc... I am wondering how I can convert them with out them knowing it

I lost my appetite a couple of days ago. So now I am eating because I have to not because I want to. Cool Huh?

Have a wonderful day.

Good afternoon. Jess, your post made me smile. The teen years can be such a pain in the rear and when look back at them I wish I'd known about Atkins! I probably would've been a lot more comfortable going to school. I think I stayed a steady 220-230 all throughout high school. Couple that with very poor self esteem and you end up with a girl who never went out on a date, had a romance, ate lunch in the cafeteria, was on any teams or did any extra curricular activites, was introverted, never went to prom, and generally hated school.

But eventually I got over myself and here I am, married with 4 kids--lol.

Congrats to all the "losers" today. You all inspire me to make the most of my days!

That is great your daughter is starting in a smaller size than last year! My dd, 13 has lost 5 pounds over the summer so that is a start. This morning she asked me if we would have broccoli for dinner ! She started middleschool last Friday and they will be doing PE 5 times a week, well 4, since once a week is Health. I am thrilled, hopefully she will drop to a "L" rather than an "XL" also. Tell your daughter congrats!

Day 7 - Still doing ok.
Well I don't feel as rough today as I did yesterday, by 6.00pm I decided to go to bed!!
Still achy today, but at least the headache has gone.

Couldn't face scrambled eggs for breakfast YET AGAIN ,,, so I made myself a tuna omelette instead.

I know ive lost some weight, as the trousers that were very snug last week, are not cutting me in two this week, but im not weighing myself until tomorrow morning,,,

I was going to go walking in the Lake District tomorrow, but the weather forecast is for torrential rain and 40-50mph winds!!! Good old english summer weather.

Woo hooo! Great job, Mojo!!! So excited for you and those 13 pounds GONE!!

HI ALL!

Surgery went great, and I'm home eating scrambled eggs. No pain, and if I have any, I've got vicodin, so that's good. But I hope to be able to manage without much of that.

Jess - I'm so jazzed for your daughter!

Iwillbethin - What's up with complaining about the heat and having your photo be of you in a snowsuit? lololol

Alaska - Terrific that you're doing so well! And EVERYONE is sore and tired after a hike during induction, girl! You probably will be able to ditch the pain pills in a few months.

Bykerdruid - you have the same attitude about the gym as I do. I just need to get there every day, and do SOMETHING. Could be an hour and a half, or 15 minutes. And then, I get to sit in the jacuzzi, which always makes me feel better!

I'm going to be taking it easy today, obviously. My husband just DIED when the first thing I asked the dr. in post-op was "when I can I work out again?" Even the dr. looked a little askance. But he said by Wed. for sure, so that's good. Just no raising my arm (left only) or lifting weight on that side for awhile.

Re: Just Think! Roll Call Monday 13th

Hi everyone! I weighed-in today and lost 3lbs last week! I also started the Couch to 5K challenge this week so ran this morning for the first time in...a long time.

Ever - wow, talk about motivation!

Jess - great news about your daughter! Being comfortable in a size Large is a huge motivator for me (not so much what I look like it it but the fact that I am comfortable and can breath when sitting down!).
