Re: Tuesday 12/4 Roll Call

Hi Everyone,

I'm happy I lost another 0.5 today...I am so close to reaching my 20 pound mark. Meeting that by the end of the month will (hopefully) give me the strength to pass on all those goodies that are soon to appear.

Hi Everyone,


Day four of my re-start... a little headachy (tail-end of carb withdraw)... but I'm in a terrific mood and doing well!

I'm not sure if everyone read my post yesterday, but I was mentioning that my scale is lost in the mess of home renovations... so on my way home from work last evening, I stopped at Canadian Tire and bought a new one! When I weighed myself this morning, I was 225 - at least 5 pounds less then I thought I was (wasn't able to get my weight before re-starting my Atkins plan)!! It's only 5 pounds, and likey water weight, but who am I to complain? I'm so excited and motivated!!

In fact...

Evermind... I'll take you up on your challenge... 26 days! No cheating through Xmas!!

All the best, everyone!

Re: Tuesday 12/4 Roll Call

Congrats Tangotori, 5 lbs difference in expectation is great! That's great that you got a new one. I might ask Santa for a new one, mine is really old and funky.

Hope you all are okay with rain in Oregon and snow in Maine... feel guilty looking at blue sky and sunshine... take care everyone.

Re: Tuesday 12/4 Roll Call

Hey I might ask for a new scale for Christmas too.. The first scale I asked for was after the birth of my son.. He was born December 19th and I opened the scales and weighed on Christmas Day.. NOT A GOOD THING.. I was crying and stomping through the house.. My husband couldn't figure me out.. Besides the Dress he bought me to wear didn't fit..and I ONLY had 1 sweat suit I could wear that wasn't maternity.. I was so depressed.. Crazy thing is.. I would DO ANYTHIING to be where I was that day... My heighest weight being pregnant with him was 176.. so you know after I gave birth I was less...

Re: Tuesday 12/4 Roll Call

lol! Sandy, I can totally relate, I weigh more now than I did after the birth of my son too... I think I weighed 160... and I felt giant, humilitated, ugly, etc... Isn't that sad!?
I can't wait to weigh 160 again... I got all the wt off too... all the way down to 135. I can't believe I gained so much after that... but darnit! I was soooo into low fat dieting... I wish I knew then what I know now! I was starving all the time... eating my kids rice off their plates!
argh!

Hellooooo
I've been away a couple weeks. It's so nice to come back and read everyone's Great Progress! This is a really challenging time of year - it's like Santa's has sent out carbo laden elves to every street corner - If I get offered one more candy cane I swear I'll crack it in two over there chubby little head! okay - I need to breath deep - I'll be okay.
I lost weight on vacation! I'm so happy! My hubby even joined me and he's at his lowest now in over 30 years! Only problem is his blood pressure has gone up - do you think it might be the salt? I'm going to have him see his doc, but any suggestions would be appreciated ;-)
Have a wonderful night all!

Mary007,
Hey, I use light salt... I've gotten used to it and also season with Dash and powders instead of salts... (garlic etc...) Good luck to you and him... congrats on losing on your vacation!
