    Re: Looking for some buddies.

    Hi all, I hope its not too late to join in here too, I just started on the 11th. Jen/harmony, I live just an hour from you, btw! Yay for the sunshine!!! It has to brighten your spirits somewhat, I hope!

    Anyway, yeah, just checking in... I am on my 3rd day and am feeling great today, yesterday... not so much. My bf is doing this with me, he only has to lose about 30-35, I have to lose 57. I'm not sure if he will stick to it but I will. I will post more tomorrow, kinda busy around the house!

      Re: Looking for some buddies.

      hey everyone. hope you all had a good day. i'm doing well, just finished dinner a while ago and thought i'd get on here a drop you all a line.

      i tried something new tonight, i'm not really a big mushroom eater, but bought some fresh mushrooms the other day, and just been adding them to stir fry, and fajita mix but not really eating them by themselves. tonight, i sauteed them with some butter and garlic and they were very good. it seems like each time i've been on this woe, i try some new veggies and most times i've found something i never thought i'd like, but i actually do. i also bought some olives, i'd never eaten them straight out of the jar before, not really sure i like them though, they seem so salty. i may try to find some recipes that call for olives that i could use them up, don't think i'll be eating many by themselves.

      i've notice that my appetite has really deminished in the last week, i find that breakfast seems to be the time when i am the least hungry and have to force myself to eat. several mornings i found myself only eating some cheese and pepperoni and that was all i needed to get going.

      gonna go check out some more posts for now, i may try to check in again later.

        Re: Looking for some buddies.

        Good Evening my friends
        Today was Bad day..and good in the end..7 days into program
        I Blacked Out today
        I remember looking at the screen at my desk..Then I was in the arms of a co-worker asking if I was ok. I could see that 12 minutes past by, but didn't remember a thing. I called my doctor and he wanted to see me right away. first he took my blood pressure then he wieghed me...now before I tell you what the scale read..I think it's important to talk about Medication and starting a new program, any program and talking to your Doctor.
        I had some joint pain in my arm many months ago..my doctor gave me some inflammatories ? anti-inflammatories? (thinking about it now I better find out the exact name and dosage so other's can discuss it with thier doctor's) I stopped using these 1 week before I started Atkin's. I knew I was feeling bad and gaining even more wieght, to a point were I finally joined Atkin's. I never thought about water retension that the Med's were causing on top of the already overwieght frame of my body.

        Now you former Atkin's people are probable aware of this and as a former Atkin's person I should have been aware too..I knew I was dizzy..I was not getting over it... and that my belt notches were used up and clothes I have not worn in years fit again..but i didn't realize (but should have) that I was losing 2 or more pounds a day. from my last visit until now my doctor is sure the worst has passed and with keeping with my excercises and staying the coarse things will proceed as normal.

        My starting wieght was 280..today I wieghed in at 264

          wow!!!! bill, that had to be really scary for you. i'm glad you're ok. 2 lbs a day!!! that's crazy. i hope you're doc. it right and the worst is behind you now. it just goes to show you that even though meds are there to help you, some can end up hurting you in the long run. just stay strong and keep up the good work. i know you've really been working hard.

            Thanks Monie..I think the doctor is right..it was mostly water wieght I lost and he helped with some suggestions also.
            See you didn't walk the other night but ramped up your other excercises way to go! Agree with your discovering new foods..many people have summitted link's to recipes I am trying for the first time..never heard of quiche before..and still trying to master it-- LOL

            Welcome back Harmony..you pick up the pieces and you started again!
            Three cheers!!

            Tired---your energy and good mood is infectious! Way to go!

            Hope Elsie gets her puter going--bet she will be the life of the party this weekend

            Warm welcome to Valleriek--I like your resolve! glad you feel better and I know you will do great!

            Hope all have a great evening!

                  thanks for the welcome, Bill! Glad to hear you are ok! How scary!!

                  I am really glad to be here, it will be fun to get to know you all!! I just got back from Walmart, OMG! I am on day 3, and that FOREVER in the checkout aisle was touturous!!! Everywhere I looked was Classic Coke, Snickers, Twix... I was actually starting to feel panicky! I found myself having an internal conversation as to how I was going to get myself out of there without screwing up! But I did it! I walked away, I told myself it was water or nothing!

                  How are you all tonite???

                      Hi Val, that's gotta be one of the hardest tests of strength....the WalMart checkout gauntlet! I stare at the magazine rack the entire time I'm waiting in line. It's torture!

                        LOL! That's brilliant! LOVE it!

                        Tomorrow, yeah, I didn't expect it to be so hard!!! But, hey, now I know!! And as a reaward, I weighed myself, I know its only been 4 days, but I needed some positive self-support. I lost 4 pounds in 4 days, yeah, I know that can fluctuate, but it is encouraging. I needed some validation, ya know? Now not again till the end of week 1!!! (<--- heh, you guys have some wild smilies!)
