Week of December 3 Atkinites!!

Re: Week of December 3 Atkinites!!

Hey guys!!!! =)

Okay, so just for the grade, I had to eat a little bit of each candy that we made. I swear I took the tiniest of each bit and I washed it all down with a huge amount of water. Hopefully that won't knock me out of ketosis. I also ended up leaving early so I wouldn't anymore. I did, however, take a bag with me and hide it at my boyfriend's work for him. I am sure he will enjoy it tremendously. I had some salad when I got home just now and that was delicious. Amazingly enough, I don't have any cravings, so that's a good thing. wOOt.

Are you guys looking forward to tomorrows weigh in? I most certainly am. Even if I don't lost any pounds, I know I Have lost some inches, 4 around my hips, actually since I was a size 48" before and couldn't fit into anything else. Mmm, tomorrow I will be having the rest of my snowpeas for OWL rung 1. Excited. And I have the rest of that steak that I prepared too. Omg, I can't wait. I am totally going to eat it with the garlic butter that I made and everything. Way delicious.

Am I still allowed to keep the 17 days cheatfree since I didn't technically cheat because I HAD to do it for a grade? I've come this far and I am not giving up either. ><

How are you guys doing today?

As for the forum, its just a bunch of us coming together and supporting each other through the tough times and motivating each other. We're an awesome group and you may join us if you like to. We don't bite, honest. =P I think it's nice having people to talk to in order to help you through the weight loss. It makes it all the more fun. Teehee.

Well, that's all I am posting for tonight. I got my workout to do, along with laundry, a shower and then bed. Mmm yes.

I love you all!!

Re: Week of December 3 Atkinites!!

Just got off the scale again.. Around expectation.. 3 lbs .. slow progress but not bad I guess. So far 11 lbs in 3 weeks. I would say "slow but sure" ..

Re: Week of December 3 Atkinites!!

Goodmorning you guys!!

The scale finally moved this morning! Yes, yes yes!! I lost another 2 pounds that I will not see for the rest of my life. That makes me down to 206 lbs! wOOt. 7 more until I am under 200. I am so excited. =)

Great job on your loss Einy! Be sure to check out your measurements too. I don't measure til monday, but one you start "stalling" you will be losing inches instead. I guarentee it. I'm happy again and I have something I can smile about today. 2 pounds, wow, when I thought I was gaining weight. Oh, the relief.

How is everyone else, I am so excited to hear about how much you have lost.

Re: Week of December 3 Atkinites!!

Re: Week of December 3 Atkinites!!

Great job everyone! It is awesome to see the progress you are making and I agree with Bekka that those are pounds that are gone forever. Well, I weighed in this morning at 249 which is +1 for me. Frustrating but not unexpected. I was ready to jump off the bandwagon for good but Bekka pulled me off the ledge. I am going to try and move up to OWL and add the extra cup of veggies as I am really strugglin big time with bloating and constipation. So in 3 weeks time I have a net loss of 3 lbs. Frustrating to say the least as you are supposed to see your best loss in the first two weeks. I promised Bekka and Now I will promise you all that I will stick with this through next Sunday (10 days from now) and stay cheat free the whole time. If no movement by then I will likely try to invistigate other alternatives.

Re: Week of December 3 Atkinites!!

A bit off topic here, but will somebody explain to me what these "week off XX Atkinites" threads are about. I saw one a while back and figured "oh thats for folks who started this week" so i just bypassed. Curiosity made me look at this one....and I can see I was dead wrong. So what's the real story behind these threads?

We started the "Atkinites" thread on Nov 12 for people that were starting induction that week. It has since carried over every week as we have been keeping tabs on one another. So I guess our group is the Atkinites and the week of part is just our weekly thread. Anyoine is welcome to join in at any time.

Re: Week of December 3 Atkinites!!

Hi everyone,
I also posted this in the 11/26 thread , did not know we moved. Don't go I love you guys.

I hope we can keep this thread. It is really helping me. I know that most of you have moved on but I hope you come and chat once in a while.
Well pray for me - Any advise i welcome it. I have been doing my atkins for 10 weeks. I have been struggling. Mostly with cheescake and popcorn. But that is going. Been cheat free for 3 days. Just went to the doctor for my Cholesterol check.

As you can see no more pork skins and rinds for me, no pork at all. Egg beaters only no eggs and no pork or red meat. I have to get this cholesterol down. Pray for me.

Bad news

My total cholesterol went up from 216 to 250

Bad LDL up from 130 to 180

Good ldl down from 39 to 31

My doctor said that I am doing everything right so he doesn’t know why they went up … but no meat now except fish and chicken, no eggs except egg beaters and no pork or beef what so ever.



Good news

I have lost 25 pounds

My Triglycerides went down from 231 – 160 – I am not in the diabetic warning zone anymore

Doctor is still willing to help me with out taking the medicine … but if they don’t come down in 4 months … I am sure he is pretty much going to make me take it.

Re: Week of December 3 Atkinites!!

daione, I just posted a reply there in the old thread. When was the last two cholesterol level readings you had?

Re: Week of December 3 Atkinites!!

Brian you're amazing for sticking with it for ten more days to see what will happen. I am sure you will be surprised at the results. =)

What a long freaking day. Ya. My mom is cooking steaks right now. Mmm, what a delicious dinner and I will have something to eat for breakfast tomorrow, finally.

Anyway, catch y'all later!

Much love

Re: Week of December 3 Atkinites!!

In the last week I dropped down to 137.5 lbs, so I have lost a total of 9.5 lbs since starting. The best part is I can see my shape changing as I am starting to look toned on my stomach ( don't think I'll ever get my six pack back) and my legs are looking less orange peely so I am so happy.

Well done everyone for another successful week.

Re: Week of December 3 Atkinites!!

Great Bekka. Yes, the amazing part about Atkins is that the longer you stay the easier it gets and the more costumed to the diet and happier you are.. I really like it. I have been on calorie diet before, balanced diet, fruits diet.. All share the common starvation factor and VERY difficult to follow.. you loose weight alright, I had gone before from 260ls to 175lb in about 1 year.. but took me about 60 days to get back to 260 and then another 10 lbs 30 days later!!

Have never enjoyed a diet before.. This is not a diet as I see it, it is just adjusting your lifestyle and re-educating yourself for better nutrient intakes.

Re: Week of December 3 Atkinites!!

Hi everyone...

Well I am happy today, TOM is fading away and well I weighed myself again this morning. Down another 4 lbs making it a total of -14 lbs now!! I am so happy. I don't think I have lost this much weight in forever...(except for after having my baby) Geez I'm feeling great about this.

Dont forget to drink your water everyone! hehe

Oh yeah, I also have a pretty slack weekend ahead! (YAY) I have one daughter gone tonight and both gone tomorrow! So I'm officially kid free for Saturday and Im going to do SOMETHING fun... like buy myself some new boots or heels hehe
