Thurs May 1 Roll Call

[Outback Jess]

Good morning STACers. Today I crawled out of bed, day 17 for me. I am doing well these days, my appetite has really diminished as promised by ketosis. The energy is up and I am able to accomplish so much more in a day.
I am burning fat, according to keto sticks. Back to basics has worked!

But then I"VE WORKED IT. NOTHING FREEBIE HERE, I'VE PUT IN THE HARD WORK AND FOCUS. But the incredible pull of carbs has been broken. It took some time for things to start to click this time around.

Be patient. Stay focused. Keep in mind this diet is life-time with 4 levels. Going on to loose and going off to live, will cause you to GAIN. Your body metabolizes carbs in such a way that you store the excess as fat instead of burn them up. You might be addicted to them, and eat too many, and store the excess as fat.

Be patient, realize this is lifestyle. I have been in a hurry to get back to the lifestyle, the weight has and always will take care of it'self! My job is establishing a way of living LOW CARB. That's a daunting task!

Good Morning


Mrs S... I feel the same way. Don't be discouraged. I am working my tail off and haven't seen changes in a few weeks again. I wish this weight would melt away like the first time around.

Like Jess said.. Be patient, Stay focused and it will eventually pay off.

Well, Stacers.. Off to spinning (even though my cramps are telling me to stay home and go back to bed UGH! TOM)

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Morning all!

Still at 111 - totally cool with that - feel pretty dang good, actually...
Last night, I ran for 2 miles, did stairclimber for a mile (only had 10min left before my class) and had a kick butt boot camp class.
Today is my day off from the gym. (Maybe )
My neighbor told me yesterday she bought DANDR and is looking forward to starting Atkins. I'm so excited for her!

Hope everyone has a fab day!

Re: Thurs May 1 Roll Call

Hi guys! I'm bored outta my mind! Only so much I can do online for a farm and I am stuck in bed with this foot. I'm a little worried today because it hurts worse than it has since it got stepped on. So after 2 Motrin 600's we'll see what happens.

Last night I went to a business dinner thing which was not totally low carb - oh well - the cheese cake was worth it. I'm slipping a little but I think I'm ok for right now - my body is so screwed up with this foot thing. I am also regaining balance knowing some of my body's limits. Funny thing is that I am not craving sweets at all - which I was worried about when I ate the cheese cake.

Now I'm back....a little more focused - but again - bored.... LOL

Good Morning everyone ......... day 4 for me back on induction and I was down 1 more pound this morning which was nice to see ........ For those of you feeling down and getting discouraged just look back on pictures of when you started ...... remember the losses and victories that got you to where you are today and hang in there .......You can do this and you will see your goals!!!!!!!
