    I'm so freaking disgusted, it's almost funny!

    I am, yet again, struggling with the same flipping 5 pounds! I am doing everything I'm supposed to and nothing I'm not supposed to. My ankles are swollen for the first time in over a year. How the heck can I be retaining water when I'm drinking it like a fish and peeing every 15 minutes?!

    I am fighting with this little voice in the back of my head telling me that I can't do this, what's the point, give up and eat something carby, etc. So far, I am winning. I am over 3 months cheat-free and I am not giving up that easily! Go away, you evil voice you!

    My hubby is telling me that I need to eat other foods. He wants me to get ...(sighing rather loudly here and rolling my eyes)... Low Carb bread, sugarless jello, low carb candy bars and cakes so I can enjoy at least some of my food. I am adamantly telling him no and if he buys that crap, I won't eat it and I'll just throw it all away. That's exactly what screwed me up the last time around and I am not willing to balloon back up to Lord knows what weight and restart again, going through indiction flu. It's not worth it. I am better than that!

    I deserve to see my scale move in a downward direction and see some inches come off. I am overdue. Can someone send the whooshie fairy my way...please? lol

    I think I'm going to move up a rung on the OWL ladder and see what happens. If I don't like it, I can always go back down again.

    Thanks for reading my rant. Please ignore and go read the next post now.

    Re: I'm so freaking disgusted, it's almost funny!

    Kate you can do it girl!! Sometimes adding food is good, but add good carbs... Not those low carb junkie breads and candy bars. Sometimes we dont eat enough and I know from past experience a lil tweaking here and there can only help you. If you notice your not losing, then tweak again. Sometimes a little experiementing in the lab pays off! Its a shame alot of us feel like the mad scientist that just cant get it right, but I promise eventually you will! Dont give up, look how far youve come, you look fantabulous

    Also make sure you measure, Ive seen people lose tons of inches but only a few pounds. I myself am a scale junky, its amazing I weigh so much considering how much attention as I pay to the darn thing!! I keep a pair of jeans that are too tight,and ill put those stinkers on each and every day so I will know my true progress besides the number on the scale!

    You do deserve to see the scale move, but you deserve more for that waist to keep gettin smaller!! ::::: Sending the wooshie wishie fairy your way::::::::

    Goodluck and dont give up, Just keep looking at your pictures you look great!

      Ohhh Kate! I know where you're coming from. I don't know what advice to give but I hope you feel better! You'll lose the weight for sure. Good for you for staying strong!
      No stats. Not weighing anymore ever. Will post "before and after" pictures when I want to. The end.

      Vigilance, not perfection.

                The only sodium I'm intaking is that which is in my foods naturally. I don't add salt to anything because my dad's doctor told him years ago to ease up on it so my mom started cooking without it and I got used to it. I haven't added any new foods to my menu and nobody else has cooked anything for me. I just don't understand it.

                  Good for you on not giving up! I bet moving up to OWL will really help you. I love OWL, and have still lost very steadily. I love your positive attitude. You are worth it! Please keep us posted, and I am sending the Fairy your way, she visited me last week. Hang in there! You should join Diva's Tuesday weigh in challenge, I love it and it keeps me motivated to see how good everyone else is doing. Everyone is very supportive, so its not like a contest or anything.
                  What would we do without it?

                    if it has been warm there that could be why you are sweeling. Our bodies in warm weather retain fluids cause they think we will be needing it for cooling. if it lasts check with your doc cause sweeling vcan be an early sign of many correctable illnesses.

                    Good for you telling DH what he can do with those foods. now sit him down and do a Dr Phil on him! tell hime "I need you to be my biggest cheerleader not my biggest tempter. I need you to be strong for me when I am weak and tempted to cheat not the tempter! ( you might end up eatting those words but it will be in your best interest to do so) I need you to encouragfe me and tell me you see results when i'm having self doubts. Help me do this so I can get healthy and we can grow old together!"

                        Kate, can I ask what rung you are on? And maybe an example of what you are eating? And are you exercising? It's frustrating, I know, when you are doing all the right things and the stupid scale doesn't seem to agree with you! If you are still on induction, then OWL may be just the thing you need. It's hard to imagine that eating more carbs (healthy ones) will kick start your weight loss again, but it really does!! Hang in, don't give up!!

                            I float between extended induction, rung 1 and rung 2 of OWL. It depends on how my week goes. I am exercising and I'm not eating anything that's not on the list and I'm sticking to the amounts suggested, no more. I know I was never meant to be "skinny." I just don't think I was meant to be obese either. I know it'll pass and I'll start losing again. It just gets frustrating losing a few pounds and gaining it back, losing it again, gaining it back, losing and staying for a week, then gaining a pound back. Why can't we shuttle ourselves to the moon and weigh there? lol

                              LOL if you were weighing on the moon you'd still want more gone

                              remember scale weight loss isn't all about fat loss. How are your inches doing? You can be adding muscle weight and fluid weight while shedding fat weight and the scale can't tell the difference since it only measures the effect of gravity on your total mass. I added 7 pounds of muscle back in the fall of 2003 while shedding 4 pounds total. Since I had my lean body mass weight change i was happy with the net change cause it was really 11 pounds of fat gone for those 6 months of hard work. If I hadn't I'd have been angry since I was cheat free and working out 6 days a week.

                              your tape measure can show you the inches of fat lost as you morph your body working your Atkins.

                              Happy low carbing.
