Hey girls! Sounds like everyone is doing good and hanging in there!

Things are going well over here in Orlando, lots of good Atkins friendly food. Amazing that the nicer the restaurant, the more atkins friendly the food is.

Breakfast buffet this morning was bacon and eggs and fruit (lots of pastries too, but I just glided right by them). Lunch buffet had caesar salad and grilled chicken (pasta dishes too, but just glided right by them). I had a vendor take me out for dinner tonight and I had crab bisque soup and grilled scallops. Came with rissotto, but didn't eat that. The only thing wrong with my dinner was lack of a vegetable, but I'm not sweating that. I ate a LOT of romaine lettuce at lunch.

Water consumption is good, didn't count it all but I hit the water dispensers a lot today (they are everywhere around here which is great).

Exercise is going to be walking all over this monstrous hotel and tomorrow at Epcot center.


Cher, thank you for starting this thread! I'm so glad you are here!!!!! ((((HUGS)))))

Silly, you look fabulous...those last 10 will come off sooner or later. You're an Atkineer for life right? They'll come off in their own good time. You look awesome in your picture. Be proud of your newfound health at the very least!

Loana, yes, be sure to eat. I always have problems when I don't eat. Just a little something to keep your metabolism going.

Kitty, Have you ever gone to Linda Sue's Low Carb Recipes site??? Do a search on the forums for Linda Sue and see if you can find the link. Otherwise, I'll get it for you when I get home next week. She's got TONS of recipes on there that are just scrumptuous. Since you are wanting sit down prepared foods, you'll probably find lots of yummy stuff that you can easily cook.

Joy - It sounds like you are having a great time in Orlando. Your food sounds perfect. The crab bisque soup and grilled scallops sound great! It's so true, the nicer the restaurant, the better the food choices. I think it becomes more Atkins friendly! I hope Breakfast and lunch have such great choices everyday! Keep up the good work!

Have fun at the Epcot center tomorrow!

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

I just looked back at my fit day from day one and I've only lost a total of 1 (up/down/up/down) pound since we started this. I just measured and I'm exactly the same. Big FAT bummer. Other than a few bad days, I've been really good. In my head I know I look normal, but in my eyes all I can see is blimpo. Sometimes I think I should be satisfied with the way I am because it seems like this is it. I am not giving up, no sir.

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

Loana... sorry you had one of those tough nights sweetie. Sometimes the scale is just so slow to catch up to what is going on with our bodies, and it can be frustrating. But, You are right, you can feel the changes in your body, so you are losing weight. It's funny, sometimes eating one thing off program can jar the body and re-start the weight loss. Let's hope it does that for you. Just get back on program today, drink lots of water to flush the sugar out of your body, don't weigh for at least 3 days and you'll be OK.

Silly, You're right the scale is just plain EVIL! But, I must say that in your case, 1 pound IS a lot of weight. I know you can't see it that way right now, because you can't see how tiny you are. But, you are very small and very pretty already. You've already done such a great job. And, you're working so hard at this. Just the fact that you're NOT giving up is great!

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

You all need a hug! Seriously! *hugs loana and sillygirl, and everyone else*

Don't let stalls get you down alright? Look at the progress you've made already. So many people would've given up long ago, or would've said, "What's the point? I'm not losing, so I'll go stuff my face with cookies now." That's not you, and you should be proud. You're pulling through. Even if you slip up, you keep going. The weight WILL come off, oh yes it will. And you'll be so grateful for the strength; the willpower you have right now. Just as Cher was saying, there are a lot of changes right now going on in your body that you just can't see, that scale may not be going anywhere, but soon enough you'll realize that your body's going through some major changes. Hang in there girls!

Thanks Kittie! We are definitely all in this together!

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

...and since we're all here together I have to fess up here too. I did it in my journal...but then i thought that's a bit chicken...since we're in this challenge together.

I ate bad things today. bread, rice and dessert.

Gotta go back to induction to get me back into ketosis. Dangit.
