{{{Peytonn}}} You're going to let go of the water weight next. That's usually the way it happens! Way to go on your non-scale victory!

Re: no more pounds gone.. but this is freaky

woo hoo Peyton is a morphing body mass Atkins loser. remeber you are burning off and shedding fat mass ( this is the reasion Dr Atkins said stalls are 4 weeks no scale loss nor tapemeasure inches lost) building lean body muscle mass ( burns more cals

) and in a state of flux with water mass.

Remember nobody and I mean nobody sees the scale number when you walk in a room unless you have tatooed it on your forehead. The see the smaller healther you! So keep shrinking you big loser!!!!!!

Re: no more pounds gone.. but this is freaky

Yay! That's exciting stuff!

That's exactly what was happening to me during my 7 week "pause"! I wasn't losing on the scale, but something was definitely happening, because I went down a whole size and a half in pants! It was nice to see some measurable change still happening.

Yippie!!! What a great feeling. I know you want to go on a shopping spree now huh?? Great job, it is always more challenging when that damn needle on the scale won't move. (happy dance for you)

Re: no more pounds gone.. but this is freaky

Peyton remember how many times you ressited when well meaning folk tried to convince you you should lose some weight. She has to have internal motivation to make her weight loss a suceess. Think how you'd feel if when you showed up she told you you need to fix your hair you could really be better looking if you did! are you getting a little mad and resentful? well that is what preaching to folk not yet havcing experienced the ah ha I got to lose this weight now moment like all of us have.

Be an example to her of how great you feel and stuff but don't make it about her need to lose. One thing you can sneakily do is ask her to be one of your support buddies and give her a copy of Atkins to read so she can "help you", stick with the plan when you are tempted to have one bad high carb bite cause you know from what Dr Atkins says in there it will be the kiss of death to your weight loss (rule 5 chapter 11)

Please think about your posts above and remove her pic and comments cause should she decide to do Atkins and see that post it would make me very angry and feel like you had betrayed me if it was me.

Re: no more pounds gone.. but this is freaky

okay then back her into low carbing like Mrs Atkins recommended for resistant folk by suggesting she remove the highly processed refined high carb foods like white bread and stuff eating more of the lower GI veggies ( which haoppen to be induction acceptable things) and slowly she will move backwards from where she is to a premaintneance WOE from there cutting a few more carby things is easy and she will be on rung nione of OWL granted she will not aquire the appetite suppression and the easy rabid weight loss of induction but she will be eating healthier and getting smaller too.

Re: no more pounds gone.. but this is freaky

Wahoo Peytonn...almost...almost.... makes one look forward to a stall if the clothe sizes are going like that! I will keep this in mind when I hit my stall. Very encouraging.

Re: no more pounds gone.. but this is freaky

Repeat after me:

"Scales are EVIL!"

I've lost about 5-6 pounds since spring, but I pulled out my winter gear this week and guess what??? My sweatshirts, blouses and pants are baggy on me. These were clothes that fit "just right" last year and they're baggy this year.

So, don't pay that much attention to the scales. Unless you walk around with a sign that says "Hi. Today I weigh ____ pounds" no one will know how much you weigh but they will see how much smaller you are.

Re: no more pounds gone.. but this is freaky

LOL! I got it. Though so far the scales have been nice to me every week since I started....so I know that sooner rather than later they will start to turn evil for me as well. But right now we are still on speaking terms....LOL!

Congrats on the baggy clothes!

Re: no more pounds gone.. but this is freaky

This is exactly what I've been doing. I have been losing really slowly but just shrinking in sizes. Then, in the last two days I have lost 3 pounds. I love how we can shrink, and then see it on the scale, shrink again etc. Sometimes now I look at myself and just about cry. I just can't believe that I hold the key to my health. I thought that I would always be fat.

Re: no more pounds gone.. but this is freaky

Great, isn't it. I've lost 16kgs (35 lbs) in 8 weeks - the only downside is a fovourite outfit that I couldn't get into when I started is now TOO BIG!! I'm just gonna take in that elastic waist and keep wearin' em till they fall OFF!

And it's so easy - I never much liked fruit or bread anyway, I've always eaten raw veges. The only thing I've given up is junk food (my BIG vice was potato crisps), I've started at the gym - on day 3 - and I've got so much energy I'm jumping out of my skin.

Bles that man!

Re: no more pounds gone.. but this is freaky

Remember too, that if you workout regularly, your body will look and feel very different.

While, I am 5"4 too, and weigh under 130 lbs, I workout a lot and do many different toning and weight training with heavy cardio... and I wear sie 2's & 4's.

If I didn't workout, I know that my body would not be in those sizes!
