Re: The Feb '08 Group Thread

So, I stepped on the scale this morning and I'm down 2 more lbs! I'm only 7 lbs away from my pre pregnancy weight of 137 - my second mini goal! I'm just so ecstatic that this is really working, granted the loss has slowed down, but I know that is done on purpose. I'll probably stay on rung 2 for a while. I'm happy just being able to add yogurt back in. I guess next is nuts. I'm not a huge nut person, but I do like them, so I know I'll add them back in...a little at a time.

Hope you're all having a great Saturday!

Congrats Kristi!!! I was finally able to cross off my first mini-goal! YAY! We decided to also use our manual scale since we can't trust our digital. Our manual seems to be closer to my doctor's scale so that works.

Been keeping up on 45-60 min cardio a day (brisk walking with the dog) but thats about it. Hubby is getting too skinny so we'll be starting the gym again and he's going to add back in nuts and some other things since he was only doing this as a means of support.

I made the TACO BAKE from Linda's recipe site and its REALLY tasty - but very easy to eat a HUGE helping of it, so I'd cut the recipe in half next time. Its too tempting to eat and even more tempting when you know theres so much of it, its going to get old in the fridge quicker than you can consume it!

I think our group might have officially dissapated?

I'm still hanging around. Just dealing with life.

Hey Mrs Brittney and Kristi, I'm still here. Glad to see you are both doing great!

Re: The Feb '08 Group Thread

I know. I seem to be better when I have the time to check in regularly here and babble diet talk but March seems bent on being hectic and computer-limited! LOL

But glad to see everyone is here and alive and so forth! =) I stepped onto the scale this morning and it said 152 - but I've been there before and it changed by Sunday to be heavier.. so I'm not calling it (again) until Sunday morning.

Re: The Feb '08 Group Thread

So, I sorta fell off over Easter weekend. Mom put honey on the ham. I gained back two lbs. I'm restarting induction today. Not happy about it, but I gotta do what I gotta do. Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!

Re: The Feb '08 Group Thread

Yeah I caved and had candy. A *lot* of candy. Luckily it just stalled me and I'm still at 152lbs.

The way I look at it is like this.. just move forward and hop back on the wagon. Even for folks who opt to do the "low fat" stereotypical diets still have days or holidays etc where they let down their guard and enjoy. And then they just get right back to being healthy. =)

Now to just stick to the plan while the inlaws are in town. I'm sort of a sucker for my mother-in-laws French crepes --- but she just started South Beach so maybe she'll be steering clear of those and we can entice her with Cheesecake Pancakes instead!

Kristi & Britt!

It's my first day back on induction. I fell off the wagon HARD CORE THE LAST WEEK and have gained about 3 pounds back as of Saturday but I didn't get back on the wagon until today!!! I am sort of scared to get back on. I love Atkins but those first four days are ****!!!

I WISH YOU ALL TONS OF LUCK!

Let's do it together!! I don't want to gain what I already lost!

Re: The Feb '08 Group Thread

We can do it! And the good thing about this is we all know we make mistakes and are suckered into breaking, but we also know what works, and that we can do it. I should just pack my own food when I go to my mom's! What a pain in the arse!

Re: The Feb '08 Group Thread

You're so right!!!!!

I have to overcome this mental barrier of getting back on teh horse. I think that becuase I said "I'll start tomorrow" for about a year and a half...I am getting scared of falling into that rut again. Taht's why I just have to START! Funny how our minds work, isn't it?

C'mon Katie! I'm cheering for you!

Re: The Feb '08 Group Thread

Having easter candy around is HARD! I am doing good so far, but its making me cranky! My daughter is 4 yr. and we are doling it out in very small increments, but that just means it will be around longer. Part of my goal tho, is to change the way I handle situations like this. I WANT to be self controlled! This is the beginning of my 7th week and it has been the most difficult for sure!

Re: The Feb '08 Group Thread

Thanks Samira!!!

I feel like I can do this, like I am in the great frame of mind to continue! that's for your support!

Re: The Feb '08 Group Thread

So, I fell off...completely. And I'm probably not going back. I found something else that's working for me. I'm going to try to keep a low carb life style with this new thing I'm doing, but at the same time, it's not going to kill my efforts if I decide to splurge a little. I'm tired of counting carbs. It did good to get me started, but I really can't keep going like this. So once I see some results with my new diet, I'll let you in on the secret. Good luck to everyone. I'll still come here to post and to keep in touch with my new found friends, but as for sticking to the plan, it's not for me. Thanks everyone!
