Re: How Long Can You Go???

Well, I'm happy to report I had another cheat free day yesterday and so far I'm half way through today also cheat free. I was so busy doing gardening and yard work that I forgot to eat lunch so I think I'm going to start up my grill and have an early dinner! Hope everyone is having a great cheat free day!!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Morning! Cheat free for me hows everyone else doing? Wheres my buddy Terry? Out of town? Are we missing some peeps?

<Jumping up and down>

Here I am!! Cheat free. Feeling snacky but I think dear old Flo is on her way any time now. I'll high fat my way thru if need be.... but still cheat free. I've upped my veggies and will climb that ladder. Slowly. But I'm gonna climb a bit on that next rung.

Spent my Sunday washing windows. It's only just after 7P and I could fall asleep here at the desk. <yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn>

Any suggestions for dressings? I am reallllllllllllllly getting tired of Ranch and my love of Caesar aint' all it used to be either.

Good to see everyone's hanging in there. Had a great time last night, I haven't danced so much in a very long time. We all slept in this morning and made a huge breakfast. I love bacon and eggs after a long night.

I love creamy goat cheese dressing with sun dried tomatoes, I can get it with both here at Safeway and I add a tbsp of the kraft sun dried tomato dressing too as well just cause I love the new robust flavor. Try it

You're sooooooooo close to goal!!!! Congrats!!!!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK SAMANTHA!!!!
did you stay in induction the whole time or if you did the rungs how/when did you implement each one?

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Thanks for the encouragement Dolphin

I'm going up the rungs right now. I stayed on induction for 2 months or so only because it was easy. I actually had a difficult time adding new food in because I got used to induction. I do each rung for at least 2 weeks, just adding something in for a day and seeing how I feel and how the scale reacts and then doing it again every few days. When I see that i've been doing that for a few weeks I add a new rung. Some i've stayed on longer and others only 2 weeks or so. I try to go up 5g at a time, but it's approximate. I've decided personally not to add much from the grains or higher carb fruits and starchy veggies. The longer I'm away from the them the less I want them. I love having the control over how and when I reintroduce different foods.

That's Beautiful!!! You are an Atkins Success Story!!!! I truly admire your tenacity and awareness of working this WOE. Do you see your weight loss slow down significantly doing each rung? and what rung are you on now?

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I've definitely slowed down with my loss over time, which I think is also due to my being at a weight that is close to where I think I should be. I lost 20 pounds in the first 6 weeks (6 March- middle April) and the rest since. I'm losing about 1 pound a week now. it's slow but I don't want to gain back so it can take its time, lol. I'm on the legume rung now. i had some hummus and I'll probably make something with tofu this week. It's definitely people like you and everyone here and the site that have made it possible for me to stick to it.

WOW!!! Amazing!!! You have the right mindset, I really like that. Do you add in one food at a time to make sure you can see what bothers and what don't? And a 1 lb a week isn't bad at all!! Its like eating and still losing, but slow but steady is the best! How many lbs. did you lose when you did your 2 weeks of Induction?
