Hi focus83 i see your online as stated at the bottom of the page hows things?

sorry sham i just left my comp on the page but wasnt actually online, just incase you thought i was ignoring you

today has been a good day, someone said i looked slimmer lol anyway that really made me smile

keep getting these horrible headacnes i dont normally get them and these are so intense. i know i should take something for them but im not keen on taking tablets. dont think its diet related but its really getting to me hope they go away soon.

well done wellkept for getting to the gym if you feel like you are struggling come on and post a massive message to us all and maybe when you are done you might have lost that craving

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

jumped on the scales and knew i shouldnt have, saw i had put on 2lbs (i know this is false ) but i let it get to me, so had a mini binge didnt eat bread or anything but partner was eating some mango so i helped myself to some and then was munching on loads of walnuts. It could have been worst but i still feel very guilty. My head is banging constantly making me miserable.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

i'm looking to join the buddy list, or should i say rejoin as i was a part of the original buddy thread started by elsie last summer.

hello to elsie, sassy, cara, and mike-it's good to see you all. hello also to all the others that have joined the buddy list. i look forward to getting to know you all and sharing our successes.

a little background on myself- i restarted for the 4th or 5th time(losing track now) last june and did faily well. i lost around 30 lbs overall. than things started happening that threw me off course and ultimately on a downward spiral i just couldn't stop. in july the loss of a beloved family pet was the worst, as she was the love of mine and DH lives for over 12 yrs. that sent me into an emotional state that i'm still trying to deal with at times. since we have no children, she was our baby and the complete center of our universe. i kinda stayed on course after that but my spirit was gone and so was the drive to make this way of eating a lifestyle change. then came september and there was a state wide power outage that lasted 4 days. with no way to cook or to keep things refridgerated, junk food was about the only thing we ate during that time. i managed to make it pretty much unscathed until the thanksgiving holiday rolled around, but then after that it was over!!!! the holidays have always been my downfall.

so now here i am 8 lbs heavier than when i started last time and just completely miserable. (why do we do this to ourselves?) this time there is a realization that the weight gain has effected me more emotionally than before, but physically it's getting harder to do everyday things as well.
today was day 1 of induction and i think i did pretty well. carb, fat, and protein ratios were good for the day, i will have to work on the diet pop addiction though. that's always been a struggle for me.

so that's my story and i'm hoping to have a better ending this time.

best wishes and i look forward to getting to know you all.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Buddiessssssss

Well this is going to be short, sorry but it's late and I do need to get my beauty rest for my visit with my Momma tomorrow!! Yeahhh.. finally the day is almost here. I am very excited!!

Monieeeeee
Welcome back g/f! It's wonderful to see you here. Mike has been hiding lately, which has me worried and dear Elsie, well she is working on making her way back but isn't quite there yet. I'm hoping to see all of our original buddies back and all doing well. I am happy though, that we have made some new buddies! Way to make day 1 count.. you can do it, I know you can! Do you still have your new bike? I look forward to re-connecting.

Sham - Your doing awesome! I so can relate to what you're saying when people make those positive comments in regards to how good you look. It feels soooooooo good! I got a couple at my work today when my dh and I showed up there to shop on my day off. 100lbs.. wow.. that's a huge accomplishment my friend! You'll lose that 1 pound and then some Keep up the great job!

Well - 4:30am gym visits Well done! Hush you.. no speaking of ch. covered anything LOL.. those are my favs and it's so cruel, as my work has a machine that sells them right at our time clock! I am happy to report though, I have NEVER had any from it! Not that I haven't thought about it.. ~sighs~ Off hand I don't know about the cheese strings, as I don't myself eat them. But I found this link for you.. I hope it helps. Carbs in Cheese String

Norah - How are you doing? How was your weekend? I hope all is well.

Jen (Focus) - Sorry, I don't recall off hand if you're doing induction or not? If you are, the headaches could be from that as it happens to alot of people. It's what we refure to as being part of the "flu" like symptoms. It all gets better in time. If you're not on induction, then maybe you have been lacking in something or changed something? Maybe not enough sleep? Are you eating enough? I know I start to get really week and lightheaded now if I have not eaten soon enough for my bodies liking. As for the cheat, don't be too terribly hard on yourself, tomorrow is a fresh start! You'll be fine.. one day at a time my friend.

Mike - I'm not sure if you're still coming to view the pages, but just incase you are.. let us know how you're doing. I hope you're ok.

Cara - I hope your week is off to a grand start!

Kristen (skinny before 21) - How are you doing? We have not heard from you in a while. How's school going?

LindyJ - I'm wondering how you're doing, and how the induction part of Atkins is going for you? I hope we'll here from you one day real soon.

Norm - You've been pretty quiet too. Are you just sitting back letting the women yack? I hope you had a great weekend and that your week is off to a fabulous start.

Well my buds.. it's that time.. I must run for now. I look forward to reading more on how everyone is doing when I return tomorrow afternoon or evening. I can't wait to share in my Mom's reaction to seeing me after a year apart. Night all.

Sassy

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

darn it i wrote a big reply and then lost it with a click of a button boo!!

wellkept - cheesestrings are allowed, i tend to snack on pepperamis

welcome moniegail i know you are a pro at this more than me, you have done it before so can do it again. just come post on here often, we all love a good natter.

sassy have fun spending time with your mum, i bet she will be so shocked to see how great you look. enjoy yourself.

ive been doing induction on and off for the last month, i tend to cheat but not on bread or anything that is a major evil just on fruit and nuts (not the chocolate bar) i just cant get it into my head that fruit is bad for you but i know i will train myself to soon.

sham sorry you have been experiencing those headacnes too they are awful i hate them they keep coming and going. been drinking alot of water and eating more regularly incase that affects them but so far no improvement. thanks for your support i really appreciate it. you have done so well, congrats on the 99lb loss. i know the rest will come off just as easily. not sure which area of england you are in but im in london and there are tube strikes tonight and its going to mess my whole week up not looking forward to tomorrow or thursday now.

sham how did you feel when you didnt lose weight before? you have been doing this for a year now so i know you are much better than me at this. when i dont lose weight i feel so disheartened. i plan to not weigh myself so much but this is easier said than done. im like addicted to the scales. anyway enough rambling for me today hope you all are having a wonderful low carb day!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Today is my fourth day and down 3Lbs so excited. I woke up though wanting Apple jacks and bananas. I am really needing support.. I cannot fail at this for the 6 time. I am going to do this.. I am off to the gym trying to keep my mind off this. Today will be a struggle but it will be more of a struggle if i wont stick to it.. Wish me luck.

[wellkept32]

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

sassy1 thanks for the site. Your wonderful... Lots of information.

[focus83]

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

what are apple jacks?

when you think about cheating just think about that 3lbs you have lost!! you want it to turn into 4 or 5 or 6 and all that hard work at the gym. it will pay off as long as you keep focused.
