Thurs 12-4

[Outback Jess]

Good morning STACers.
Hope today is going well. I've been queezy since I returned to induction, and it's getting OLD! I feel like the induction-flu-fatigue is hitting me too. So I will plod through, because I know energy and weight loss is right around the corner from this tough place.
Been here and done this, so I know how to hang in there for the good times!

Good morning everyone. Sorry to hear some of you are having problems but know that they are temporary and giving up is not a option. My advice is to read the book and let Dr. Atkins motivate and encourage you as only he can. You've done this before and can do it again. Good luck!

Re: Thurs 12-4

I am here...

I've decided to re-read Atkins... to make sure I'm doing this the right way...

I've gone off and on so many times I'm probably getting sloppy with my Atkins-ways...

I am here, chekcing in.
Hope everyone takes care of themselves today!

Re: Thurs 12-4

Doing good this morning. I had pan sausage and eggs. I'm down another pound, which makes 4 in as many days. I still get those wacky sudden cravings, though. (I posted about it in yesterday's roll call.)

I saw someone already mentioned checking for hidden carbs....how are you doing with water? Are you drinking enough? Hang in there!

Re: Thurs 12-4

Hi All,

Looks like we're all feeling a bit discouraged today! TOM came this morning and against my better judgement I stepped on the scale anyway...sigh...I was up a few pounds from yesterday and even though I KNOW it is TOM weight, I was still unhappy about it!

But I know that we can all do this! Even in the dark December days when we are discouraged! We are working towards something much bigger than just today- we are working towards a healthy and happy way of life and nothing is better than that. When I get a little down for whatever reason (thinking it is not happening quickly enough, when I'm sick or tired, etc) I just remember what I'm ultimately working for- not just a thinner me but a happier me and that keeps me going until tomorrow. And the hope of the day after that and the day after that until I reach my goal keeps me going after that! WE CAN DO THIS!!! I wish we could all just have a big STAC group hug for days like today!! Stay strong, ladies! We're in this together and we will make it!

Re: Thurs 12-4

Hi all, I'm back for the, well, I don't know how many times this makes. I had great success 4 years ago, was about to goal, then just let it all get away from me. I decided on Monday that I had had enough, and I know how to make this happen. It helps that my husband is starting over (again) with me this time. I'm back up to my all-time high weight, and it's got to go. I'm going to dig my book out of a box in the garage and re-read, I know that will help a lot. I'm looking forward to getting to know the new STACers, and I see a few familiar names as well. I will be checking in daily to keep myself accountable. Hope everyone is having a great day.

Re: Thurs 12-4

Hi everyone, This is day 4 of induction for me - the longest I've gone for a long time and it's feeling pretty good - if I can get thru the weekend, I'll be fine. Just keep reminding myself how few "hot flashes" I have eating the low carb way! and how much better in general I feel plus how great it's going to feel to fit in some of my old clothes again!

Sorry you're still feeling so awful Jess, hope it doesn't last much longer. I only had one day of headache and not feeling too great.
