The"Struggling and coming back to Atkins"challenge

[Sallyb]

Agh... I'm half a pound off my goal :no. I'm at 115.5, so close!

Tomorrow maybe :yes!

Sally :hug

[lowcarbing4ever]

Heeyyyyyy!!! Enough of that!!! That is how we put undue pressure on ourselves. Be extremely happy that you made it to almost one pund of your goal!!! :icondance What is one pound??? You accomplished something great! Remember, this is not a race and if you are making goals only to be dissappointed when you don't reach them, you need to re-think why you are doing that to yourself and re-evaluate your goals. Be proud! I am proud of you!! :joy

[lowcarbing4ever]

Sally, thanks for that post, it was fantastic!

It was really a motivator for me and helped me put some things into perspective. :nod Just don't worry to much about "making goal" every time because your body will get there when it feels ready. Pat yourself on the back for all the hard work that you have done already. You are an inspiration to me!

Hi everyone,
Can I join your challenge? I will admit, I have been on plan for 31 days, but this is the absolute 1st EVER this long. I am here reading the posts today trying to keep myself out of the Kitchen where the hersey dark chocolate kisses are calling me. I came across your posts and thought

"Wow" so there are others that feel like me....

[Sallyb]

Hi JuJu

Thanks for your mail, I am pleased that I am still losing, albeit slowly...
I did not really expect to make it as I've got 2 more days on antibiotics, I should of changed my goal date but somthing inside of me said NO!

I won't weigh today, I'll give it a little while. I'm not a fan of the scales.

How are you, anything exciting happening in your part of the world? Hope your not missing breakfast on a regular basis. I never used to eat breakfast, but now a days I make sure I have at least an egg, otherwise my eating patterns change for the worse and I end up eating too much in the evening which I don't like.

Have a good day, take care

Sally :hug

Hi and welcome Cathy :wave,

I see no reason why you cannot join our little support group! Nice to have you on board.

You've done SO well to stay clean for 31 days - well done. Do you feel well on it?

It would be nice to see your meal plans and your progress so keep us updated.

Have you found any foods that stall you or that you avoid on the induction list, do you take any supplements, how long do you plan to say on induction? Sorry so many questions!!!

As I said, Welcome and I hope we can all inspire each other :yes.

Sally :hug

How is everyone doing? Well, I can't say that I have been true to plan lately. I have been skipping breakfast again and I haven't been making sure I have the right food to take to work. So tonight, that is my chore. I am cooking food so that I can eat "normally" tomorrow. So far so good, i haven't gained anything but i know that will change if I dont get my act togethe. And now, I find out that they may give me more responsibility at work and that means more pressure. I want to have my eating under control by then and be losing weight again.

I am so mad at myself for not being able to get back on track again; i just dont know why I am having such a problem with this. *sigh* I have got to get my butt in gear again.

[Evelkittie1]

hey! i want in! I restarted on sunday. i think the most difficult thing as of now is because i'm in a not so friendly atkins environment... BUT thanks to some advice given to me here in adbb, i think i can get right back on track again

in any case

Goals for the week (from now until next friday) :

1. drink more water

2. exercise more (in any way possible. I have a few choices: DDR, Tredmill, ab lounger, playing in the yard... i even remember some stuff from self defence that really wore me out lol )

3. No cheating! lol

I'll have to post my menu for next weak sometime tomorrow. it's 1:32 in the morning here and i'm friggen tired lol

Oyasumi nasai ( "goodnight" in japanese )

Welcome, evelkittie!

Has been a little quiet in here of late. Well, as usual, I am in the struggling mode but I got brought back to my senses by hubby. He asked me out of the blue, when I was eating something I shouldn't, "what happened to your diet?" My hubby, never notices anything and for him to say that to me, meant something was different that he noticed about me. It hit me hard. I realized, what AM I doing? So once again, I am getting my butt back in gear.

My goals for this week:

Drink 96 oz. water daily.

Stop eating anything not low carb or not on Atkins plan.

Make time in my schedule for me to eat like I should.

Exercise at least twice this week.

If some of you can't post daily, then why don't we make this a weekly thread then? It seems that would be easier. Unless you have questions or you need to unburden about cheating or whatever, then come when you need the daily support. I am going to need to post daily for a while, til I get my brains back on track.

I know this thread is kinda old, but can I join? :wave I have really been struggling and I have no one to blame but myself :raving

My biggest difficulty is my weekend wine. I have a ritual on Friday nights and it also relaxes me so I can get to sleep. Even with that, I'm within my calorie/carb range. My biggest downfall is I'm not exercising regularly and I don't keep enough "legal" treats around so I help myself to my daughter's junk food.

Anyway, Monday I want to clean up my act and re-affirm my committments. I'm going to spend the weekend making legal treats so that I don't go off course.

Anyone still doing this? ha

[DebbietheHugBug]

By the way.......... I'm a CAT FREAK!!! I'm owned by 2. Muffy 12-1/2 y/o short hair grey/white, and Tasha, 10 mo/old short hair black/white. :yikes

[lowcarbing4ever]

The more, the merrier! Welcome, Debbie!

Today, I had a fairly easy time of it considering I am back on track. I did do a little cheat. I had a pack of biscuits that I could have left alone but I would say, overall, I did a heck of a lot better than I have been the past three weeks. One cheat is better than all day.

Tomorrow's goals:

drink my water

do my WATP video

Get thru cheat-free

[DebbietheHugBug]

JuJu, thanks :wave I am officially starting Monday. I did ok yesterday (except for exercise, I worked real late). This morning I didn't have time to eat breakfast but took it with me. By the time I was able to eat something, I was so starved that I had some crap that my daughter had on her. So my day is gone. :anger

[divaindubai]

Please count me in here as well


I'm suffering from the same....BUT


I'm already 1 day cheat free.....

[divaindubai]
