Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hi buddies its quite funny how it went.It was raining heavily so my hubi took me in the car to the surgery.I sat 23mins over my appointment time eventually saw the doc and said that I had come about the high platelets he said oh nothing to worry about perfectly normal I dont know why the nurse rang you for.I got angry and reliefed at the same time,
As soon as I walked in he said "your looking so slim you've lost weight how?"
I told him about atkins he said but most people cant tolerate meat all the time I explained the diet is not just about meat.He gave thumbs up for the diet and said carry on.



Stuck at the same weight for days stalling.

SPECIAL HI TO SWEET JANE AND LOVELY OGNUM>

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Excellent news, Im so happy to hear all is well. The rain here was awful on Friday, even the little dog refused to go in the garden!
So onward and downward for you with your clean bill of health. Busy weekend for me went to New Forest to visit my daughter and had very long walk with pub lunch but stuck with chicken ceaser rather than sandwich or soup.
Wishing all biddies a good week and to espaecially Sham who can now relax a bit.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Sham~Thank you for the update. I have been thinking about you. What a relief everything is ok and so nice the dr commented on your weight loss and gave you an ok for it. Hope the rest of the weekend went well for you.

Ognum~Sounds like your weekend went well. How is the dog doing (and does he/she have a name? lol).

The weather is BEAUTIFUL today! Sunny and pretty warm. I wish I had more energy to put it to good use but going to try to get out and garden/yard work.

Talk to you all soon!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

I am a second time around person. This time is so much different from the last time i did Atkins. The last time i was going on Moms instructions as she READ the book, I did not. I fell off after a 30 lb. loss. went back to the old way of eating and gained it all back in record time. This time.. it felt like a life or death decision. It really was too. My blood pressure was through the roof.. and lord only knows what else was going wrong within my very sick overweight body. I made up my mind that this time, would be different. and boy has it ever been. I got such a great start too. 20 lbs in the first month.. and fairly steady for the following 6 months. I have now been doing this for 11 months.. and feel dedicated to it .. but i have to admit that i am struggling. especially with the holidays upon us. I have hit a brick wall and have not lost anything for nearly three months now.. and its sort of frustrating. But! I can be proud to say that I haven't put any weight back on.. just holding steady. I guess deep down I know that i need to go back, start induction again.. and try to keep it as clean as i can. Another huge concern for me is .. winter is here.. and my activity level has dropped off considerably. I hate indoor work outs.. and don't know what to do to regain my fervor for a good work out indoors or out. I have come back to the ADB for inspiration and motivation.. does anyone have some they could loan me? Anyhow.. glad to be back amongst all of you. I expect to be back on track in no time.. Good luck and many losses to you all.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hi buddies all of you.
Hi ognum thanks for the message it was a relief it all went well.Im certainly sick of the rain already today I got soaked as I brought the kids from school I cant use the umbrella as I have to push the pushchair along yet this is just the beginnig.

Hi Jane thanks for being so concerned that was nice of you shows you also care.Weekend went well went to friends in the evening they all commented on how much I lost and how good I looked.I keep getting advised not to lose anymore as I look good already but Im not done yet Ive got lbs to lose.

Hi Lacypie welcome to our buddie group nice to have you.I have the same problem as you because I also hate exercising so I just go for a walk with the pushchair as its easy and it is not boring like planning and doing exercise.Its winter in the U.K so will set a new routine and try to do some exercise at home as its too cold to go out for walks.Which is your favourite exercise out of them all?Why not give it a try or go for a walk with a friend regularly?

Hi buddies been off few days as the baby broke right collar bone and had foam sling on his so active always jumping off things dont know how it happened though.His going for a check up on 1st december.Presently his got a cold and temperature.(My poor baby).

GOODNIGHT ALL IM SHATTERED ITS 11.51pm IN THE UK SO SWEET DREAMS!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hi Buddies
Wishing you all a great weekend, here the rain is pouring down so weekend will probably consist of indoor activities ( I have Christmas pressys to wrap) and dipping outside to walk the dog in dry spells. Will be away for 2 weeks before Xmas so trying to get organised.
Yesterday I had walked about a mile and half with the dog and when he suddenly started limping and sitting down chewing at his back paw. He just wouldnt walk and his paw felt hot and looked a bit red the only answer was to carry him home to wash his paws and have a good look. Thank goodness he is a 7 kilo dog not a 27 kilo dog! In the end I put him in my backpack with his head out but he was pretty heavy to carry, one postman stopped me and said 'thats a very clever dog'.
Now seems OK so maybe he stood on something! It was a good work out, weight down today thanks to the dog!

Sham - Really sorry to hear about the baby hope he gets better soon. Interesting how people always say stop before we are ready to isn't it. I do think many of us have a bad body image that is difficult to shed, well I do anyway. Have a peaceful weekend.
Jane - Bet the garden looks good now, hope your energy levels are improving, mine are so much better since srtarting Atkins and mentally I feel so much stronger without the carb based hunger swings.
Lacypie - Well done on your 11 months on Atkins, dont be too hard on yourself you have lost and maintained, maybe now is time to look for a way that you can exercise without really feeling like you are, if walking ouside is difficult could you put a treadmill in front of the TV so you have walked for half an hour without realising it?

Have a great day all the lovely buddies and hello to any new buddies who want to join us.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Welcome back
Im fairly new here but I am sure the other Buddies will be happy to welcome you back as I am.
No point in feeling guilty just feel possitive that you are back and working at it again. I see you are from the UK as I am, where do you live? Sunny weather here this morning after a weekend of rain.
Hope you have a good first week.
Hi to all the other buddies, hope this week is agood one.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Hi
Im from Cambridge. Im fairly new to Atkins proper but have Low Carb dieted in the past. I am amazed at how (at the moment) easy it has been to stay on track. Bit worried about Christmas but I guess you work it out if you want to.
Do any of you lovely buddies have plans for Christmas?

[ognum]

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Wow its very quiet here, where is everyone? I would love to know how the weekend went for you and the start of the week.
Today I felt guilty about all the cooking apples on the ground in the garden so I have made some pies for the freezer and also some stewed apple. I was very good because I love the odd bit of raw pastry to eat but not today my will power was strong!
My weight seems to have stalled a bit but Im just hanging in and waiting. I keep thinking about my sons wedding in May and the outfit I need to get. I have already said I will not look for anything to wear until the end of March, if I buy something sooner I will surely hate it by May and buy something else. I have managed to get some jeans on that have been sitting in the cupboard waiting for me so I feel good about that. Do you have a range of clothes in all different sizes like I do, it is such a good feeling to wear something you have been waiting to fit in to, in my case though I seem to pass through the sizes all too often.
Well lovely Budies it would be good to hear how you all are.
