Ok..now its my turn to vent! My friend went on Atkins about 2 years ago and she lost 90 lbs. no problem and has done a wonderful job of keeping it off. The problem is that when I first starting doing atkins because I saw the success she had with it...she said that it was a bad diet, that it made her sick most of the time and now she cant stand to eat meat!

The she said that I should look into something else because the atkins was going to make me feel real bad. Now, I have 2 theories on this attitude of hers. (1) She does not want me to lose weight and steal the attention she is getting or (2) she really does think this is a bad diet even though it (caused/helped/made) her lose 90 lbs....I don't get it!

She has gotten a lot of attention since her weight loss and im wondering if she thinks that I am going to steal her attention? What do you think?

I can give a hoots *** what she thinks, I know why I am doing this and that is all that matters. I told her, well...you know that I have tried this diet in the past and it worked, so this is the diet I am doing again-end of story!

Life goes on---->just a little skinnier for me though! lol

Good for you Amanda :hug
Of course she may have not been doing Atkins 'by the book' and might have not realised she didnt have to eat 'just meat' so it may well have made her sick - but you know there is more variety allowed than that so won't have that problem. :yes
Your body is not the same as hers anyway and things she found made her sick may turn out to be your favourites!

[Buddrfly]

Elizellen is right!

Elizellen is right. There are lots of people who consider themselves doing the atkins woe, but lots of them alter the diet or just don't have all the facts before they start. Whatever the case, the ultimate decision is yours to make. What does not work for one person, may work wonders for another. I say go with what ya know, forget her shady advice, and get losing :joy.

We'll see what she thinks when you are 90lbs lighter and in perfect health

[Buddrfly]

I'm back!

Okay folks I'm back! Haven't heard much from shashee these day though ensive. Last I heard, she went on a business trip--I guess she was having to much fun she decided to stay :raving. She didn't even ask if we wanted to go :sadblinky.

Well the other day I had a prime example of my BF trying to see if I would give in to food! He actually asked me if I wanted some cake. This pisses me off only because he knows how hard I am workin at this. He also knew before he asked me what I was gonna say. So with that in mind, why would he even ask???????????????????///

[shashee]

Im still alive chicky!!!! Ive just been like super dooper busy at work and havent had time to breathe!!! Well I still havent hit the 199, Im like stuck at 202... I hope when I weigh myself in a few days Ill have a nice surprise for me... Been totally cheat free for exactly 14 days and have lost 19 pounds..OohhhhH Sooky Sooky!!! :icondance :icondance

Yall wouldnt have wanted to go to Pittsburgh, it was wet, snowy and dealing with lawyers all day SUCKED!!!

And I would just like to totally applaud my husband.. He has been super with this woe, down for eating scrapple, bacon, steaks, whatever I cook he doesnt complain!!

So the only thing I have to gripe about today is work... I HATE IT!!!!!!

I took time today to read all the posts. I understand why some of you would be angry. It's hard not having your family's support. I started mid-April, and although my family doesn't live far away, I plan to surprise them when we have our anual 4th of July picnic with my weightloss, hopefully by then I'll lose a good amount. Hope is the most powerful word, since I'm at a weightloss stall right now

[Buddrfly]

Good morning folks!

Good morning folks! Island Reina and Sheshy I'm glad you guys stopped by!

Welcome back Shashter :wave. So other than the wet weather, how was the trip? I'm so proud of ya for sticking to it and staying cheat free, while you were there. Congrats on lurking around the doors of onederland :joy :icondance

Reina--I know your loss by July 4th with be a shocker to your family. Also, have you measured???? You have no lbs lost, but the inches may be falling off :yes

Sheshy--Thanks girlie! I'm goin for the gold. I've got 25 more lbs to lose and I have officially lost 100lbs! That will be a trully exciting day.

[shashee]

Granted its only been a few days, but I was litterally losing atleast a pound a day, i was kickin ***! My body must know that I want to see that ONE and its not gonna give it up that easy :no

Stinkin fat cells need to LET IT GOOOOOO =)

[Buddrfly]

No prob!

Thanks girl! Hopefully we can all stay cheat free and hit onderland by July 4th. I love having people to chat with for support and encouragement, and ADBB provides just that! So what's on your agenda for this weekend?

[Reveal]

I have a vent!

This weekend I was standing in my kitchen, making herbal tea, and my twin sister spotted the "5K training plan" posted on my fridge. Suddenly, she said, "I need to start running more. I think I'm going to train for a marathon." Now, first, she decided that completely on the spot I know the girl really well, and she had no more thought of training for a marathon than I thought about dieting six months ago! I brushed it off at the time, but later it really started to hurt my feelings. My sister Jessie is a thin, athletic, beautiful girl who has ALWAYS been "the pretty twin" (I was, of course, "the smart twin"). And you know what? She'll do it. She'll run a marathon and outdo me yet again. I don't mind what others think, but just ONCE I would like for her to not turn my goals into something she tries to outdo. For OUR sake. At almost 30 years old you'd think we'd be past that. :raving

Other than that she's lovely, and I adore her. But sometimes she just must have all the attention

[cleochatra]

Don't forget that you're also the adorable and self-assured one, Reve! :joy

[Buddrfly]

I have

Reveal I have an aunt that's the same way, and we aren't even siblings! Is that sad or what?

[island reina]

Thanks for the support. I've stayed off of the scale basically all week - which is shocking since I use to go on the scale 3 times a day. I haven't taken any measurements, but my mom, who is so supportive, says she can see a difference, and a few shirts that I have fit a little better also
