Re: 20 pounds gone!! Yahoo!!!!!

Dorie, How are you getting away with fried cheese? I looked up the carb for moserrella sticks at sonic and it was 36 without the sauce. Are you on week 3? I am down 8 pounds and am on week 3. I cut out the bars I need to get this thing moving again. I eat jello with cream every day. Why did you give yours up?

Hi Carpediem!! I used nomal full fat cheese. Here in Canada its Black Diamond...old cheese and just throw it in the non stick fry pan and fry it up....so good and low in carbs. You just have to try it...so rich and yummy. I do have whipped cream with my jello sometimes...YUM.
I have been on Atkins since mid May and I am on extended induction..I am comfortable with where I am right now however I know that the rungs are there for a reason so I will start them eventually...meantime..I am losing so I will hang around extended for a bit!!
I am glad you cut out the bars...it leaves you more room in a day to spend those carbs on something else!! Hugs Dorrie

Re: 20 pounds gone!! Yahoo!!!!!

I weighed myself this morning and I was up a dreaded 1/2 pound!!!! I do believe it was because I ate rather salty yesterday so today I am going to flush flush flush!!!!!! I am not worried at all....funny how before I would have been thinking of quitting this WOE over something like this....now I know it is just a thing that happens...it'll pass and that 1/2 pound will be history!!!

Re: 20 pounds gone!! Yahoo!!!!!

Hi Dorrie,

I hear you, I've been there, done that too My system is really sensitive to sodium....if for some reason I've encountered more sodium then my system can tolerate (eating legal food at someone's home or out at a restaurant) I have seen up to as much as a 6 lb water retention gain over night...gotta love that...not!!!

But just as you, I have been able to identify the cause and have been able to deal with it. I'm glad you've be able to identify the cause and haven't let this get to you.

Drink lots of water to flush your system out, go for a lovely walk and stay on course, you're doing great!
