The Bombshells

[vikski]

Alright, here's my confession. I did three heavy days of cheating. I'm up 5 lbs. this morning. 5 lbs!!!!!

Well this morning i'm back to day 1 of induction. I will be using fitday and getting back on track and getting those darned 5 lbs. off.

This post is prolly gonna get me shot. I lurk in this thread from time to time and what I see makes me a little sad. It seems to me that this post has become a confessional. What I would like to see out of you guys is coming here confessing to cheat free weekends and too much exercise and lost pounds. I think maybe you all should start a clean induction for a week and then collectively move onto OWL. One thing I have noticed with my own extended induction is that I have begun to lose focus. I am still able to keep a handle on things but it seems as a group you all have lost focus and maybe having to concentrate on Atkins for a while(new rules in OWL) may help you all to get back on track. :hug :hug :hug

You'll be fine Vicki, I'm right there with you, and let's get back on track. I have decided that I will do induction over and then move to owl. I just need a little change and variety. I obviously can't stay on extended induction for long periods of time, so I will try the rungs of owl and see if it works better for me. Get back on induction and those 5 lbs. will come right off. Good luck

Hey Ladies!

Thank you so much for your great support. I have been doing good so far. I will be weighing myself tomorrow to see how its going. My dad is a big inspiration since he is doing Atkins. I can't believe he has lost 30 lbs. Amazing!!! Well, I need to get this weight off and I am determined to do it. Gotta look good in my wedding dress. I am getting married on December 30, 2005. It is going to be a wonderful wedding but I really want to lose this weight so I look great in my wedding dress. So I am trying to stay focused.



Keep up the great work ladies. We will win this battle!!! Stay focused[/code][/list]

So far so good today, but I keep chewing sf gum. I think i'm gonna give it to a co-worker!

[Shelly Lynn]

Yep i would give it away to your co worker vicki. Hey isabeau im gonna have to work on only weighting myself once a month. Will take time but i think that will be a good goal for myself. CONGRADS. 4.5 is alot.

Guess What!! I weighed in today and I am 6lbs lighter...woo hoo. I am so glad this is working. I hope to keep seeing more and more come off. I am determined to get this weight off by the time I walk down the aisle. The one day where I can truley say its ALL ABOUT ME!!!!!!!!!...lol

Keep up the good work girls......we can do this !!!

[ravenfan]

Great job Isabeau, keep up the hard work. Loveangel glad to see that your having such good success. I wish I would have started Atkins before my wedding, I was still a bit overweight at that time (almost three years ago). It's great to have inspiration in the form of family members or friends that "get" the low-carb way of life. Mine think I'm crazy for doing what I do.

Also, loveangel, how much weight do you have to lose, just curious. You have given yourself plenty of time to lose weight which is great. I have three weddings starting in July, which I want to lose at least 15 more lbs. for.
Shelly, Vicki and Sally, how are you girls doing? I have started back on induction and so far, so good. Have a good one everyone.

so check this out i had dinner last night every thing induction friendly and i went to bed feeling alittle hungry but i didnt cheat. So i got up this morning craving chocolate chip cookies and i thought y, then it kicked in, your body wants carbs wait it will start useing up the fat in your body, wait dont do it . so i said ok let me check my ketosis level and bamb it was at moderate. :yikes :icondance :joy :icondance . I am in a moderate ketosis stage. :icondance :joy :yes And im sticking to it.

1 day cheat free

I did good up until last night. DH bought some chocolate chip cookie dough and made them. He was boasting about how good they were and that they were so good that I had to have one. Well I had two. I did good up until that point. Today my co-worker made a birthday cake for someone here, but i'm determined that I will have a good day without a cheat!!!!!

[ravenfan]

Great job Shelly, stick with it. Hang in there Vicki as well. I am so far 1 day cheat free and for some reason I am at 160 as of this morning. I am starting to think something is wrong with me. I binged over the weekend, and think how could I weigh less? Oh well, I'll take that. I re-read DANDR and have poured over low-carb success stories to keep myself on track. I'm going to the store to stock up on much-needed items to help keep things running smoothly. Reading the book again really helped to bring back that motivation I was lacking. This time, I will not cheat, because once you do, it's really almost impossible to get back on the wagon. Good luck ladies, hopefully I am making some sense, sorry for the rambling, but I really needed to.

Good Evening Everyone!!

How is everyone doing? I did good today myself. My fiance says I am looking good and doing really great on the diet. Thank god for him and his support. I don't think I would be able to do it alone. Hope you are all doing well. Just remember girls if you get those urges drink water or maybe munch on a cucumber. I do that.

Ravenfan -- I would love to lose anywhere from 80-100 lbs

It is a lot and I am praying it comes off by the time of the wedding....but I need most of it off like 3 or 4 mths before wedding because I need to shop for my wedding dress. So you can say I am determined to do this...lol

Hi all.
I have good news and bad news! Yesterday was a very bad day. I caved. TOM is gonna pay me a visit any minute now. The good thing is that I woke up this morning with my head out of my butt. I really paid attention to how my body has felt this past week. Eating bad carbs really made me feel like crap. No energy, bloated, tummy all grumbly. Just gross. Something clicked again this morning with me though. I am going to start exercising again. Something that I did during bootcamp is going to help me tremendously. I printed just about everything from bootcamp and made a binder. I am going to read some of it every night to make sure I stay motivated. I really have no explanation on why I went off the deep end. Now it's probably gonna take 2 weeks to undo the damage that I did with the weight gain. Sometimes we learn the hard way. I'm gonna start waking up early and taking the dog for a walk before work. It's starting to get hot in Vegas. Today it's supposed to be 91 degrees and it's supposed to be 101 this weekend. I'll probably spend the weekend by the pool.
