How Long Can You Go???

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Morning all!

Today is my three month mark! I never thought I'd have the willpower to stay so strong! Up until I started Atkins I felt like the queen of junk food and soda.

Welcome back Colleen, I missed you! Glad you're getting back on track!

Congrats on another day down Pink!

Ralynda, you're doing so great...keep it up!

Jerrica, glad you owned up and are determined to get back on track. Stay strong!

To all of you who are cheat free, and continuing to be so, yay!! *applaudes* Am I the only one who feels like this challenge has made me stronger?

Has anyone seen Mari lately?

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hi everyone! There isn't time for me to catch up with everyone right now. I just got back from a several day stay in the hospital with my son, who somehow got meningitis, and was very very sick. He is all better now, thank God, and the tests for the bacterial type (deadly type) came back negative.

Unfortunately, I'll be putting myself back at day 1 tomorrow. While being sick to death with worry, I decided not to worry about my eating. So, now I'll be starting over. I can't be too sad about it, because I'm too happy my son is ok. I'll be catching up and updating everyone later. Thanks for being patient with me. Have a great day!

Christine....CONGRATS ON YOUR 3 MONTH MARK!!!! SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Oh jeez hon!

I'm so sorry to hear about your son, but I'm glad he's okay! I'm happy you're not beating yourself up over having to re-start...in situations like that the last thing on your mind is what you're eating!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Mari - I am so glad that you son is ok. I don't know much about meningitis but I know it's nothing to fool around with.

take some time out for you if you can. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

OK, I gave the other diets a shot like my doctor asked, but I was miserable. I was always hungry and depressed and eventually even quit exercising. I gained back 2 1/2 pounds. I'm still having problems with my potassium being too low, so he has increased my potassium pills to 60 meq a day. Anyway, I started back on Induction today. I'm also back on my exercise program today too. I know a lot of it is probably 'in my head', but I'm feeling better about myself already. I've almost made it through Day 1 and am still cheat free. I still have 23 days to get to my first mini goal of 180, so I know I can do it!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Good morning. Just wanted to stop by, I haven't forgotten, I'm just super busy with work and school right and can't post as often as usual.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Isn't it a beautiful morning! It was 58 degrees when we got up today!! I just love it!! Come on Fall!!

Another day cheat free and I feel so good today. I'm looking forward to the end of the year when I can look back and feel so glad that this part is behind me and I've gone down a few sizes.

Mayor Mari, I'm so sorry to hear about your son!! That is so scary! I'm so glad that he is all better now.

Fedup, I'm glad you're back!

I hope everyone has a GREAT low-carb day!! Woo Hoo!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Marion- So sorry to hear about your son and I am very glad he is ok. Now is the time for you take some care of yourself and get back on track with your eating.

I am still cheat free.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Happy Wednesday!

Mari - I'm sorry to hear about your son, but I'm so glad he's ok now. How old is he? I'm going to have to go look up meningitis since I don't know much about it. Take care of yourself and your family and don't stress about eating too much. It'll work itself out.

Christine - Happy 3 months!!!!

Jess - Congrats on being cheat-free. Looking forward to your daughter joining so we can cheer her successes also.

FedUp - I hope that the increased potassium helps you. Take it easy and don't push too hard. Welcome back!

Kat - You are just too cheery for 5:48 am. That's what time it was here when you posted. I was still trying to figure out my mood at that time.

Glad to see that everyone else is doing fabulously! Keep up the good work ladies!

As for me, I'm still cheat-free. DH started yesterday, so he's on day 2 already. I know he'll do well, I'm just concerned about him eating enough. He tends to do that and also he tends to not get in all his veggies. I can only control dinner and what I pack for his lunch, so hopefully he'll make good decisions the rest of the day.

Have a great day everyone!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

marion...gosh !! what a scary time that must have been,im so glad he is all better now though.

christine...congrats on getting through 3 months.Although im struggling with my portion sizes at the moment,i do feel im a lot stronger when it comes to making the right food choices.

hi samantha and fedup,good to see you around again.

Kat...i love the autumn(fall) season too.I live in the country and the colours of the trees when their leaves begin to change is awsome...plus its a lot cooler and fresher.

I did good today. I hav'nt felt the need to snack inbetween so far .Ive just drank and drank water until its coming out of my ears and i think its suppressing my appetite more now.

looks like everyone else is still on track...im proud of you all

Re: How Long Can You Go???

wheres that 2 month button link? wahoo! For not cheating for two months, Id have hoped I would have lost more than this, but the inches off is incredulous! How are you all doing?

[kislandmom]

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Congrats to you Star! How many inches have you lost. Have you dropped many sizes?

I am officially on day two (AGAIN!). I will be sticking it out this time for sure. I don't really feel any urges to get on the scale too soon but we'll see how long that lasts! My anniversary is coming (birthday too). I would love to treat myself to some new clothes.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Thank you everyone for the well wishes for my son and me. He is so much better that he got the thumbs up to go back to school tomorrow. So....all is over, done, and better. I started back on the diet today. I just love how controlled I feel when I'm eating like this. Even before this happened, I was getting lazy and letting things slide. But now I'm reenergized, and ready to make it to 1 month. Thats my new goal. I got so close the first time before my vacation, and am envious of those who have made that goal and beyond! Congrats to all of you for sticking to this like glue, and making your goals a reality! I'm so very proud of you all! Keep up the hard work.
