  • Re: How Long Can You Go???

    Wow Becca, with all your pictures in a row, you can really see the dramatic difference! You look beautiful!

    TirtleBaby, even though I know a month isn't all that long (compared to how long it took for me to pack all this weight on to begin with!), I have been going through the same thing. I lost about 14 pounds in a big ol' whoosh when I first started and the other couple of pounds have been just lingering...they'll leave one day, come back the next! It will happen with time...we just have to be patient...besides, Dr. Atkins says that people who take longer to take it off have a better success rate for keeping it off! Sounds good to me!

    Go Liz!!! Your 1 week button looks very very nifty in your siggy

    Kat, good luck with your weigh this morning! Hope it gives you good news!

    I came about a millimeter away from eating every piece of junk we had in the house last night. I mean really close. I'd picked up a reeses peanut butter cup of my hubby's and was kind of twirling it around in my hand, contemplating. My best friend stood me up for our coffee date last night and I was so hurt that of course, the first thing I thought about was eating junk. I am so sick of doing that. I squished the peanut butter cup and threw it in the trash, but I felt really annoyed that it was the first thing I reached for. I'm seriously thinking that bingeing on junk is my own form of self harm. I mean, it's killing me, right? I didn't do it though, which makes me proud...I just want to stay on track!

    Today is a brand new, shiny (albeit HOT) day. I hope it's good for everyone...me included!

      GOOD MORNING CHALLENGERS!!!! Am I seeing it right??? No cheats??? Not one??? HAPPY DAY CHALLENGE WORLD!!! Way to go, everyone starting a new week CHEAT FREE!!! Very proud of you all!

      Small gain for me this weekend (2 pounds), but not surprising for two reasons. Even though I stayed completely on induction allowed foods, I ate way too many calories. Also I didn't have as much water as I was drinking last week. So with this heat I think my body is panicing and holding on to all that water. So I'm going to cut back on calories today, and get my walk strong tape in this morning.

      Hi Dolphin, Kat, and Christine! How's the new morning treatin' ya? Are you all bright eyed and bushy tailed???

      Tammariah-- Glad to hear you're still going strong!!! Let us know what the doc says today about your weight...the drum roll has been sounding since you posted!

      Tirtle-- you are cruisin' lady! I'm so proud of you for staying the course! Doesn't this challenge make all the differance!

      Inhisgrip--has a new button! A new shiny 1 WEEK BUTTON!!! Way to go, m'am, and keep up the great work!!

      Roshan-- Sorry about the no loss, but IT WILL COME!! Do you want to paste a menu for us, just to get some other perspectives? Maybe there is something in there you've overlooked? Do you use www.fitday.com ? Otherwise, it may just be a stall. The only other thing is, did you take the yeast quiz in the DANDR? I did, and actually had almost all the symptoms. 1 month on the anti yeast version cleaned me up so much, I started losing again.

      Becca-- you're new pics are so pretty! Not only did you get some more up there for us, but you got your button as well! YEAH!!! Now where ever you go, when people say, "How do you stay so true" You can say. "How long can you go???" You're doing WONDERFUL!!

      Here's wishing everyone a FANTASTIC kind of a day, albeit cooler! (I think the whole world is under a heat wave! Its going to be 104 again here!) And get your exercise and water in...and BE CHEAT FREE YET AGAIN!

        Hey Marion!

        I find it funny that we both used "albeit" regarding the weather lol.

        Get your water in sweetie! Can't have our lovely leader dropping away because she didn't hydrate herself!

        Hugs!

          CHRISTINE!!! I'm so proud of you!!! I've been there! I like how you took your frustration out on the peanut butter cup instead of on yourself! Its SO true, that we "think" we are comforting ourselves when we give in to those carbs, but in truth, its self-punishment at its worst! Every carb laden peice of junk we throw into ourselves is just going to hurt us more in the long run! SO here is a to comfort you for your best friend's lack of consideration, and here is a toast to get you through today! Thanks for passing up the temptation so you can still be our shiny lead example!

                            I do use fitday but not daily,i just like to keep a check on my percentages at least once a week.I also did the yeast quiz some months back and found i had some of the symptoms but not many and at the time was losing steadily so didnt think i had a problem.If i dont start to lose again soon the anti yeast version may be something to have a go at.Im going to do the quiz again later today.

                            todays menu

                            brekkie..2 egg omlette with 1/2 cup peppers and mushrooms

                            lunch...3 slices corned beef 1 1/2 cup mixed salad (lettuce, radish,cucumber,spring onion,celery) 1oz feta cheese 1tbs mayo

                            Dinner ...Large chicken leg/thigh 1cup mixed brocolli,cauliflower

                            I pretty much eat the same everyday but change stuff round
                            for example

                            Breakfast...Eggs with either bacon or carb free turkey sausage or peppers and mushrooms

                            lunch...always a mixed salad and feta with chicken or tuna or Eggs

                            Dinner...1cup either spinach,brocolli,cabbage,cauli,aubergine,courgette etc
                            And a protein (chicken,steak,100%beefburger,fish,lamb,pork loin)

                            I drink 4ltrs water daily and walk 2 miles there and back to work 4 times a week plus im on my feet all day at work running around in a busy shop,im actually so pooped from the heat and running around that i just dont think i could fit any more exercise in at this point.

                            Anyone see anything nasty lurking in there ?

                              I've made it through Day 3 and am working on Day 4 now. And I lost another 1/2 pound, so that's 10 1/2 total. Wednesday will be my 2 weeks so I will take my measurements then. I think I'm going to stay on extended induction until I reach my mini goal of 180.
