Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey guys! I'm currently putting the buttons up in the challenge forum. I've only got the blue ones up so far, but the rest are coming. It just takes a long time because I'm on dial up.

Grab one!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

This challenge is great! I just found it, and I know it will work for me. The buttons are cool. I'm not sure how to do them, though. Are we supposed to copy them each time we post in any topic or just here? Thanks for the challenge idea, AND thanks for the buttons!

Hugs and Kisses to everyone!

I just finished day 3 and am still going strong. Actually I think I need to be eating more - food still holds no appeal. And I hope it continues
Pepsi is loosing its hold over me ~ yeah

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I was looking for the Cheat Free logos I used back in 2003/2004 and was excited to find this challenge. The Cheat Free counters helped me stay 'legal' before, just knowing that everyone was going to know if I cheated. Today is Cheat Free Day 7 for me!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Thanks Mari for understanding where I was coming from. I just love all of you here!!!! The support is awesome!!!!!!!

I believe that you must watch but, aaah forget my explanation I love the way you explained it. Makes plenty of sense to me, and the kicker with Atkins is over time your appetite diminish, so I'm really looking forward to that!!!!

Hey Fedup!!! Hello to everybody I might have missed!!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Cry Cry Cry ! Ok so I did really well yesterday... Told you right away what my menue consisted of! Stuck to it... breakfast...lunch... traces of cofee...2 Zeros....LOTS OF WATER....and cheese....Then:

Hungry for dinner. Tired worked 9 hours! Had the craps all day at work! Hubby wanted pizza! I resisted and told him I didnt want to cheat! Even though I am not losing, no cheating right? So, we skip the pizza idea!

Called Ponderosa, and skipped that idea because everything was FULLY CARB-onated! If you know what I mean! So we were on our way to Cracker Barrel to eat low carb meals... and my husband suggests that we eat at this one restaurant that we have never been to! GREAT!

We go! We sit! We order water to drink! I am looking at the no cheats ability this menu has, and my husband notices something amazing on the menu for appitizers... Deep Fried PICKLES!!!! Oh my yumminess! So we say that we will order those.. after all, there is not THAT much breading on those bad boys! And they were GOOOOD! So now, because we have an appitizer, we have to eat somewhat cheap. So we get burgers! I had a bacon cheese burger with mayo and sweet bbq sauce WITH the bun!! It was all so YUMMY! And I had a salad with Ranch dressing!

We leave there, and I just wanted to cry! I feel like I was so tanked to do this thing... until it got hard... until I stopped losing weight! I know that I know that I know that this is the diet I need to be on! But dam what is it going to take for me to do this thing?

I want to be thin! I want to be healthy! I WANT A BABY! Yes there is a connection there for me! I know for me to have a baby... I need to be on THIS diet! Not that one! THIS ONE! So why cant I behave myself?

We ordered 2 bottles of Atkins Accel... they should be here this week! Then maybe I will see results and not get so dang discouraged! High Metabolic Resistance!!!! Combine that with misbehaving, and.... yeah!

For those of you that pray, Please Pray For ME! I really need it right now! And for those that dont, please start! Sometimes things go better if you get there on your knees! Maybe that has been my problem lately... self rightiousness?!?

Love you all! And I will love a GREEN BLINKY like Dolphins!!!

Hey Tirtle!

Don't give up!

If you weren't losing for a while, did you post your menu so the veterans could see if there was anything stalling you?

I did Induction several times before coming here, thought I was doing it right, not losing much and got discouraged. Then when I joined Boot Camp I found out what I was doing wrong. For me, I was just counting carbs and not reading ingredients. I found out that there was sugar in a lot of things I ate as low carb. Anything with sugar in it is going to make you crave and stall your weight loss. I had to make sure there was no caffeine, aspartame (limit the Splenda), not to go over four ounces of cheese, watch the cream, no type of flour, starch, etc. So, it may be something odd that you don't realize that is stalling you. Also, there is exercise and drinking water. (Make sure you are eating enough so you don't go into starvation mode, but not eating more than you need.)

Yes, you did go off plan last night, but you can make the most of today! Drink extra water and do some extra exercise. Jump right back on this wagon!!!

You can do this!! We can do this together!!
