Re: Clothes Challenge: Muffin Butts Welcome

Jane, how sweet you are! They are definately firm....once you feel past the fat! I'm hoping to remove as much of the fatty layer as possible in the next three months so that all my hard work in the abs challenge is noticeable.

Self-I am 34 days in. I'm doing something between induction and owl rung 1.
I still need to post my pics. My husband took them thursday night. He said he might show them to my friends and I threatened him with divorce. I'm only half kidding about that.

Sweet strudel- Thanks for the birthday wish!

Re: Clothes Challenge: Muffin Butts Welcome

I just realized that I am 15 days and 11 lbs. away from my first goal. I dont know if I can make it. Maybe if I exercise everyday and keep my calories around 1200, I can do it. What do you guys honestly think?

Honestly...everyones body is sooooooo different. I guess all you can do is your absolute best...and if you dont make your goal...don't beat yourself up over it...you've still done great! Remember, this is a lifestyle change, so you've got time.

Sweet-You are so right about having time. I keep telling my self that time is going to pass no matter what I do with it. So I might as well make the most of it. It's just frustrating because we want everything now.

Re: Clothes Challenge: Muffin Butts Welcome

Yes...we live in a society of instant gratification. Always in a hurry to see results. But we have all incorporated Atkins as a Way Of Life...not a diet. So, we will modify and tweak and change until we get it to work for our body and that is how we will live. No two of us will do the exact same, whether it be choices of foods or amounts of foods, choice of exercise or amount, yet we will all reach our goals in our own time and we will maintain.

Its so hard not to compare to others on the board but we are all individuals, what one can eat, someone else can't, whats stalls one person, doesn't stall another and so on and so on.

My best advice is listen to your body and follow the plan and the rest will come.

Re: Clothes Challenge: Muffin Butts Welcome

Meaty, you should be incredibly proud of your 17 pound weightloss so far! I certainly am! Sweet gave you some great advice, and I can think of nothing else to add except to just reiterate what she said & be patient with yourself. Can't wait to see your pictures!

Re: Clothes Challenge: Muffin Butts Welcome

Thanks hopejoy. I went out for my b-day tonite and I drank 2 shots of tequilla and ate some buffalo wings and salad. I was bad though and ate about 5 of my husband's breaded popcorn shrimp. I cant wait till morning to see what the ketostix say. I am quite tipsy. Happy b-day to me!!!
