Re: Friday roll call

Afternoon all. Heidi, I'm sorry to hear about the toe but maybe you can use the time for other exercising or stretching??

Evermind I love your relaxation strategies! Those are things I should take up because the stress when the boys come home from school triples trying to get in everything that needs doing before the showers and bed.

Sheepie, I hope you're able to warm up and get out of that horrible cubicle soon!


Well, as far as today goes for me--TGIF is all I have to say. The scale still says the same--225, so I know that's my starting weight. At least I have a reliable gauge to tell where I'm at. It actually frightens me to think about how high my actual restart weight really was. I didn't realize I'd gained all that much while pregnant. It just goes to show you how looking in the mirror can fool with your mind. I saw myself as about 230 when I was probably well over 260. I'll keep my original weigh in dates as every Tuesday and just continue on from here stepping back to rung 2 for another week after this next Tuesday.

Re: Friday roll call

Went to my doctor for a weigh in this morning. I have lost 8 pounds . My scale at home must be off because it said I had lost 12 pounds. I was disappointed but doc was happy. Guess thats ok. Next weigh in is in 2 months along with a cholesterol check. I am hoping more meds will not be needed . I am on enough already. I am off to work. Every one have a great day.

Re: Friday roll call

I am sad and frustrated. I am failing. I cannot do Atkins. I happen to get on the scales and I am up. I started eating like I was not doing atkins and now I feel hopeless.... This is the hardest battle I have ever been through in my life.. I have been fat for 10 years... No matter how hard I try, how motivated I get, I always fail. I try so hard. I went to dress for work and two of my three pairs of work pants feel so uncomfortable. My stomach is killing me. I am so drained and exhausted. I feel as though I will be fat forever. I put everything into doing atkins and then I just stop for whatever reason... Stress, work, death in family... You name it, is causes me to fail.

I have all of these plans to get healthy again for my kids. To run at the park chasing my kids, to walk up the stairs at work and not stop for 2 minutes cuz my heart is pounding 200 mpm, To wear cute clothes and nice work clothes, to start dating again.

I have tried so hard to be successful on atkins. I have stocked kitchen with atkin friendly foods, drank tons of water, excersised with my horrible joints and arthritis even though it kills me I still do it.

Since the last time I weighed myself which was quite a while ago, I am up 15 pounds.... Talk about feeling hopeless...

That's it for now.

Re: Friday roll call

I really hate that you are feeling this way...don't give up..I know this is not about me..but when I give up is when I feel hopeless. If there is anything I can do to help.let me know...the main thing is getting healthy and to me there is no healthier plan out there. Just hang in there..before you nkow it...it will just feel natural. Good thoughts your way!
