How Long Can You Go???

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Welcome kim123!

What kind of pain are you talking about -- cramps? If so, I take potassium, magnesium and calcium and that cleared up the cramps at night.

TirtleBaby, Welcome to the Auntie Flo club...or should I say Anti-Flo club!!

It is so motivating to read everyone's posts!! It is exciting to see how well you are doing!!

Another week almost over for me too -- cheat free. My weight doesn't seem to be dropping any more and I was expecting a whooshie from Auntie Flo -- you'd think she'd do something nice for me. I'm wondering if it is the PCOS? Hum...if I don't lose anything this week, I'll take my measurements and see how the inches are doing.

Well, I hope YOU have a wonderful weekend!! I'm off this next week and plan on looking for another job. I have one place in mind and after that it will be searching the newspapers. (Our boss told us today that he will probably be closing the office after Christmas.)

Thanks for being here and sharing your Atkins adventure!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I hope everyone is having a wonderful cheat free weekend. I am still cheat free but the next two days are going to be a challenge. First I have a busy busy day today with lots of errands, play practice and then a vist to MIL. I have to make sure I don't get sidetracked and not eat enough today. FIL was going to cook a meal of nothing but carbs so I asked if he felt like cooking hamburgers on the grill if we brought the hamburgers.(He loves to grill.)He said sure.

Tommorrow is potluck at church services. I am taking a deep dish pizza and a low carb cheesecake. I know someone else is making coleslaw without sugar so hopefully if I stay away from the other not acceptable options I will be okay.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey everyone!

Still cheatfree, still doing great! TOM finally left, but he left some water weight behind. Jerk.

I'm just hanging around the house today, relaxing and trying to get some knitting done. Hope you're all having a great weekend!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hi everyone! Hope you'll forgive me for not being too specific with everyone today....got a lot to do in a little time, and so not much time for this. But here goes:

Kim123.....you're very welcome! I wouldn't worry about the vitamens blowing your keto! Go ahead and take them! As for the leg weakness, have you been to a doctor? Non of us here (as far as I know) are doctors, and that sounds a little serious. It could be a potassium deficiency, which two other people in this challenge have had recently. Also, has this weakness started since doing induction? You may want to consider moving up the rungs, if this is something recent.

Tirtle....EVERYONE ELSE SHUT YOUR EYES.....YEAH FOR YOU!!!!!!! So happy! See...this diet does provide the answer to our troubles!

Kat....sorry you're not dropping as planned, but you've been so good for so long, this plateau will bust soon! Hang in there.

Beccanae....way to go on planning girl! You're going to make it through tonight's BBQ and Sunday's potluck no problem!

Starmaker....CONGRATS on the new low!!! You're doing so good! PROUD OF YOU!!!

Terry....thanks for the update hon! No blinkies is ok, but our updates are pretty accurate to what posts say, so whatever it says is where you are.

dotsamantha....has anyone told you you're absolutely gorgeous? Because you're absolutely gorgeous! Congrats on staying the course!

Christine....glad TOM has moved on for you, and hope you get lots of knitting done! I tried to crochet last night, but the storm kept knocking the lights out. Seems I haven't much time for it anymore.

Ok...off to keep cleaning. Keep up the good fight everyone!

PS....got in touch with Mandilee, and she can't make it on right now, but assured me she is still cheat free, and I will keep updating her despite her not being able to post once a week. She'll be back in a few weeks.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Sunday morning, still cheat free...3 weeks, 6 days. I get up each morning looking for my little blinkie to change. Tomorrow it will be 4 weeks. I am down another 3lb. After stalling for 7 days. I did not expect it, my clothes are telling me enough of the good story, so I got on the scales just to record things for a month...I squinted and saw the change, 214 down to 211. I was half asleep, and I tried to subtracted...finally I got it!
So all is fine here. Off to a big day...

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Happy sunday girls(and tommy if you're around)

Not doing much today just catching up with the ironing and tidying up the garden if the rain holds off.
Still cheatfree...It will be 9 weeks as of tomorrow, and i will see if adding back mayo has had any effect on losing...Im really hoping ive lost then i can start to add mushrooms back into my morning omlettes Mmmmm.

Congrats on the 3lbs loss jess,I look forward to seeing you display your new 1 month blinkie tomorrow

Christine...Im happy for you that TOM has finally left the building,Try upping your water for a few days..that usually helps flush away any leftover retention.

Marion...i hope you managed to get everything done you needed to.

whatever you are doing...Have a great day everyone !

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Thanks!

Good Sunday morning to everyone.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Good morning lovely ladies!

Off to go shopping this morning...I need to restock my veggies and chicken desperately! I'm also going to be buying more asparagus...after years and years of refusing to eat it, I tried it last week and really enjoyed it. Wax peppers too! I can't get the guts up to eat peas, but I've hated those since I was an infant!

I hope you're all doing well today! Happy cheatfree Sunday!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Howdy


I made the cookies with peanut butter last week and they came out mediocre, so tonight I'm going to try tahini for a sesame cookie.

--Update

I made them. They're tasty but falling apart. Oh well.
