How Long Can You Go???

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Good afternoon cheatless eaters! I am still cheat-free. Although I did have an Atkins shake on Tuesday. I am on rung 3, I hope this is not a cheat. It was all I had available in a group of carb-o-holics trying to foist their death food off on me!

I thought he said they were even okay on Induction... so I think you're good.

nope he didnt say that, they were only created after he died, theyre not okay for induction, infact i wouldnt even add them in to OWL, they stall most of us!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hello! It's me, Sunny , back again.

I've been cheat free 99% of the one year, 11 months and 13 days of my journey on Atkins. Problem is, I've been stalled most of the last year. I go down a few pounds, that inspires me to try even harder; next thing you know--BAM!--up five pounds! I go as low as 178 and have been back up to as much as 187! I'm tired of playing around! It seems that if I add any fruit (cantaloupe, berries or peaches) my weight loss not only comes to a screeching halt, I start gaining. Sooo--no fruit for me. I also don't seem to tolerate even flax meal. I've had to remove all dairy, except for occasional cream cheese and heavy cream. I took natural peanut butter out of my diet months ago. I only eat tree nuts (black walnuts, pecans, almonds & Brazil nuts) and raw pumpkin seeds a couple times a month, but that seems like too much. The only two foods that I truly overeat are tomatoes and green beans! Tomatoes are my very favorite food in the world, and fresh green beans out of the garden come in at a close second. I also believe that I am eating too much protein, so I will juggle the precentages of that with fat.

I do have many symptoms of underactive thyroid, but have had to wait eight months for an appointment with the best endocrinologist at University of Virginia Health Systems. I go to see her on Thursday of this week. Hope she is able to help.

I have tweaked my WOE 40 ways from Sunday to see if I could get a steady weight loss going again, so now it's back to strict, clean induction for 14 days, again. I don't know what else to do. Yesterday was my first day on induction, though that's the way I eat most of the time.


I pledge:

1.) To do a 14-day clean, cheat-free induction
2.) To post on this thread every evening for accountability
3.) To strictly limit tomatoes and green beans! (there's something inherently unfair about that!)
4.) To reduce protein and increase fat



Sunny!

And you get the reward of posting "cheat free for ___ weeks". Maybe I will be able to get one of the technical know-howers to make us some blinkies for our siggies. Who wants to join me? Sign on up!

For this cheat-free thingy, all you have to do is copy and paste in this Web address http://dom.bz/c/1.jpg and then do the "insert image" button and when the script box opens--paste the URL in the box and click OK. That gets you this:



You will have to manually change it every day and you do that by changing the number I have highlighted in red. I am changing the number 1 to 21--

HTH!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Well, here I am, just like a good Atkineer. I made it through today just fine, even though I had a very stressful day and forgot to thaw meat for dinner! Thank goodness for the defrost cycle on the microwave. I had a grilled top sirloin with scrambled eggs.

I only ate five small cherry tomatoes today and no green beans. I used fitday for the first time (boy, what a pain in the butt!) but I ended the day with 64% fat and 33% protein. A little low on veggie carbs and low calorie wise, but I'm happy with my day. Well, all except the part where the local NBC television news crew filmed way too much during my interview and made me extend my arms and I have huge bat-wings. Thus, the very stressful day. I don't plan on watching the news at all tomorrow. Oh well, it's over--on with life.

Two days down, many more to go.

Sunny!
