Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Hey! Has anyone seen Esteliana around?? She was so excited about this challenge and I haven't seen anything from here since like the first day! I hope she is still on track!!

No, I was wondering was she was. I hope the breakup with the boyfriend didn't send her spiraling into a depression. She was doing so good.

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Down 3#!!! But I have to admit, it's not just because of working at it myself. I got a bad stomach bug for 3 days. But hey, whatcha gonna do, right?

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

I just re-read your post Atkid, Caffeine must really be key here. I have always kind of thought in the back of my mind that it was causing me to retain fat... and I think it's true. Something does seem to have 'let go'... and that must be it. I gave it up exactly 2 weeks ago. I'm not even drinking decaf any more. why bother. I had herb tea today. Also stopped using splenda too... for an unrelated reason... (migraines... ) I guess, now that I think about it, I have made a lot of changes.

I ran across this earlier today and thought it might be some help in the Caffine department. http://www.onlinenews.com.pk/details.php?id=123258

It is a caffeine and Type 2 diabetes study. It was found that after subjects had caffeine that their blood sugar would increase, therefore with a non-diabetic it could be causing your body to release insulin when you drink caffeine. So it is prolly a good idea that you gave it up! Now if I could only give up starbucks!!!! I have cut it down to one (or two) Atkins friendly drinks, but not only would I loss more weight, but I would also have more $$!!!

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Checking in with my weight - only lost 1 pound, so my new weight is 264. But that's okay because I lost that 6 in!!!

The news story i heard (radio--sorry, no link) was that in non diabetics, coffee actually helped blood sugar and insulin response and it diabetics and prediabetics, coffee had a negative affect on both. The problem here of course is that many people have diabetes and don't know it.
Me, they're gonna be prying my coffee cup out of my cold dead hand

That is what I was thinking, hope this is not what happened.

Thanks, Atkid! I'm pretty happy with the inches. Plus, the one pound lost is with TOM, too! I'll take it!!

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Sorry I am late, been an extremely busy couple of weeks. Yesterday I weighed 203 with a loss of another 3.5 inches.

So far, I am down 17 pounds in 22 days. I'm happy with that!!
