  • Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!!

    Just wanted to share this with everyone as today was HUGE for me. Today when I did my weekly weigh-in, I hit 50lbs lost. Only 40 had been lost during Atkins, but non the less I'm down 50 lbs. Before I swithced to the Atkins WOE, I was trying the whole oatmeal in the morning, a salad for lunch and a sensible dinner with alot of cardio (2 45min sessions a day) 5 months of that got me down 10lbs. What makes 50 lbs so important is that 7 months ago, I told all my friends and wife that I would not eat pizza until I lost 50 lbs. Pizza played a big part my life (and weight gain).

    Well, now that I'm there, dispite all the peer pressure, I have decided not to have my little pizza party with a number 50 candle on it to celebrate my success. Instead, I'm going to celebrate my succes by moving to On-going Weight Loss. Today finished week #9 for me and every single day has been cheat free. I remeber exactly what pizza taste like and yes I do miss it. But to me, the juice is simply not worth the squeeze. I feel so much better physically and mentally now!!

                  Great progress

                  And congratulations on achieving the lowcarb mind-shift that makes it no longer an occasion for celebrating with that high-carb pizza
                  Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

                        Congrats on your weight loss, 50 pounds is awesome.

                        I know just how you feel, I miss pizza more than anything else too. LC pizza is good, it really is, but not quite the same. When I started, I said I'd have pizza when I had lost 20 lbs. and when I got there I made the same decision as you did, it's not worth it. Keep up the good work!

                          You are such an inspiration to me!!! Big congrats on your weight loss and thank you so much for sharing your not-pizza story. hehe That's AWESOME! Imagine how sad, too, if you had "celebrated" by sabotaging everything you'd worked so hard to achieve??? That's exactly how I used to think about things, though, that I would eat thus-and-such because I deserved it or had earned it. Pffft. We deserve to be healthy and have earned the extra energy we have today. That's just way far out coolio.

                            Thank you all for your new replies and comments. I must say, I know that I made the right decision, however it was the hardest decision I have had to make so far on my journey. Sounds kinda stupid though huh?
