Checking in

[meena-beena]

It's been about a week since I last posted and I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I haven't abandoned this place, it's just that another site I admin in is going through a major revamp and they needed me there.

I have been doing awesome with my Atkins program. I've managed to drop another 4 pounds, bringing my total lost to 22. I'm now 241, which for me is a huge deal. I haven't been this thin in like 2 years now. I've consistantly held 260 and over for a while, and the way I was headed was to 300town.

I'm trying to get in all my water. I manage 64 oz a day. For some reason I can't get in more than that. It's just too much for me. All in all, my energy is through the roof. I just played a game of hopscotch with my kids yesterday and I used to just draw them the game on the ground before and watch. I played 6 games with them and even though my legs are killing me, I actually managed to get through the games and enjoy playing with them. That's a biggy for me.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm here and still a big loser. hahaha.

Re: Checking in

Good for you!

How's your rung cling going? Have you experienced any problem foods?

Re: Checking in

YES!! lol. I cannot eat carrots. I tried them and about an hour after dinner I wanted to rip apart the fridge.

I increased my water that night and went to bed early. The next day I felt better, but man--no more carrots for me. lol. Other than that, it's been slow going. I'm trying to get new veggies in little by little, that way I know if they are alright or not.

I swear, it's a lot like how you feed a baby and intro them to new foods then watch for a reaction!

Congrats Meena! I think you and I started maybe a day apart and it seems we weighed the same or close to the same when we started......it's awesome to have lost over 20 lbs isnt it??? I'm really happy and proud of you....keep up the good work....

Re: Checking in

Really? In the atkins book, they are listed as a moderation veggie in rung one????

I thought that meant they could be eaten--in moderation....hahahaha. I suppose that's why I couldn't take them.

And thanks so much Seshena. I think we did start the same time, although you at a lower weight than me. Isn't this WOE amazing?? I really love it and I'm loving the new me emerging.
