Re: How Long Can You Go???

I need to sign up for this. :/ I took a two week "break" from Atkins when I went out of state to visit the boyfriend and I told myself I'd get right back on, but I'm struggling. I'm getting bored I guess... I don't have groceries, fast food is easy... ordering pizza is easy, but I can't make any more excuses. I've come too far to sabotage myself anymore, no more cheating... I'm worth it.

Good for you Kittie, you CAN do it and just have to start back where you left off. Go to the store, grab some low carb groceries and get on track, you will be losing again in no time !! I am glad you posted, it is important you get all the support you can !!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

morning all
Just a quick hello as im off through the door to work in a few minutes.Im still going strong as i see all of you are too in the last few posts i managed to skim through.
Another hot sticky day here and am really puffed up all over,ankles and hands are the worst (rings are a lot tighter than late) so i know im retaining a lot of water in this heat.
I just wish it would cool down then maybe i might get a sudden woosh and drop these lingering pounds that are "im sure making me gain"
Will catch up reading the posts when i get home.

Hope you all have a great "cheatfree day"

Hi everyone! Congrats on all your successes. I have a question, how do you get your 2 blinkies to sit beside each other? When I try that it shoots it under neath the one before it, what am I doing wrong? Thanks

Have been eating lots of proteins, greens and drinking my water glug glug glug

DITTO!!!!

The BBQ was not so bad. The worst part was the stigma I felt eating the bun-less burger. But oh well. I did it, in the kitchen (Long story about them making fun of one of the guys. He just had his wisdom teeth out and he couldn't eat a burger and a bun because he couldn't open his mouth that wide. So they were all teasing him by saying, "What? Are you on the Atkins diet?". I felt weird...I was sure they wouldn't tease me. They don't know me. They are my roommate's friends. And yet I just didn't want to get their looks...poor fat girl on another fad diet.....yah know? So anyway I chickened out and ate it in the kitchen and then re-joined the party)

I didn't touch a roll, a chip, or any potato salad. I didn't even want to! I mean I thought about it...But I really didn't want to sabotage myself and my efforts. I want to get to the point where I'm comfortable in my own skin and not just the fat girl at the party.....a chubby little wallflower.

ANYWAY.....I feel really proud. Day 3 is DONE. And I only have 11 short days left to a clean Induction.

Congratulations! I know that must have been tough, but YOU DID IT!!! Each time it will get a little easier and easier until it is just habit and part of your life!!! Way to go!!

YES! You are worth it!! Take care of yourself now and you'll be so happy next year at this time. This will be one hurdle out your way! You'll also feel much healthier and confident knowing that you did this.

Best wishes on your journey! We're here with you each step of the way.

Good morning, Roshan!

Do you notice a difference when you drink cold water? Does it cool you off some?

I've read somewhere that if you are retaining fluid, then drink more water to fight it...I don't know if it works, but might be worth a shot?

Congratulations on another cheat free day!!

Hey Star!

Try putting in spaces before you paste the second blinking and see if that helps (putting it at the furtherest point from the other one). For example, you could paste the first one, five spaces, then paste the second one. (I'm not sure why they would paste on top each other, seems one would replace the other.)

(Oh, and you could copy and past someone else's that sits side-by-side, then paste a new one that you want on top of the individual one to replace. That way they are already together and you can replace the individual ones instead.)

Hope this helps.

You're doing FANTASTIC! I'm glad you and Terry joined us!! (Even if you did have to drag her here by the hair!!)

Re: How Long Can You Go???

DAy 8 and looking forward to a successful day. I woke up to a 1.5 pound loss and that was very exciting this morning !!
As usual I know what I am eating today before I get up and that helps a lot. No surprises and keeps my focus off the food and on my life where it belongs.
I hope everyone has a great low carb day !!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

oh my goodness ~ I thought I'd post just to say I'm hanging in and going strong and then realized I didn't know what day I was on ~ so I had to count and I am totally shocked that its day 12
The time has flown by for me and since, as with life, it was going to pass anyway - its so awesome that I've been clean the whole time! Wow. I am so shocked.
Does anyone else feel like this? That its really "clicked" this time and you ar shocked when you realize how many days you've been clean?

Hugs
