Yes here I go again this year But Last year I lost 57lbs and gained only 17lbs back from our trip to mexico and the hoiliday season 2005 so I am back on the program.. so are the girls... we are going on the buddy system.. I hear kelley is on it too Good Job Kelley!!!!
week one is over and I lost 5lbs. It seems wierd that last time I was on this program I lost 9 in the first week.. wish that were true for this past week.
but I just thought since my crazy daughters were posting things I would give it a try . I hope I did it right???

Re: jessbabyosu and osuaddy's Mom

welcome to ADBB andback to Atkins.

You had 40% lessto lose ths time so you shouldn't expect as biga loss this time in total pounds. look at your total weight neededto lose this time and see if those lost pounds aren't actually bigger this time then last toime.

Happy low carbing.

Re: jessbabyosu and osuaddy's Mom

I (addyosu) will have to post a picture when I go home this weekend, but Jessica (Jessbabyosu) said she wants to be the one who picks if out. (Of course, this is not new people!) We are all doing great so far! Going strong, but my sister better be safe when she goes to Las Vegas this weekend. They don't call it "Sin City" for the **** of it.... so we'll report back. I am going home however so my mom can teach me how to bake a turkey and we are going to scrapbook it up!

Re: jessbabyosu and osuaddy's Mom

I know - I'm going to sin city and I'm scared. I'll be amongst the carbs - and its a scarry world out there. I've kept myself seltered in my "safe" low-carb friendly home. Now I'll have to face all my demons. eek. I've given Vegas a lot of thought - I know I'll be good on the water because I'm going to to tote my nalgene bottle everywhere I go and make a point to drink only water at restaurants, and I'm not worried about eating out both at buffets and order-meal restaurants. My biggest concerns: A: continental breakfasts. These are an atkinites worst nightmare - cereal, bagels, donuts, cinnoman rolls, fruit, juice, toast....the only thing safe is "decaf" coffee. Since this is vac-A is compliments of my mother-in-law I'm not going to make a big fuss to go out for b-fast. Any suggestions from the ADBB crew? and B: well I've never been good at saying no to an adult beverage and I love a vodka martini (which is safe) but I'm technically in my first 2 weeks. Double Grr. What's a girl to do? It's VEGAS! My sister is right -- I'm going to be super - pissed, pissed, pissed off at my self if I gain back the whopping 3.6 lbs I've lost in the first week. (I'll rant about this in one moment). Part of me says let my hair down and live it up in "sin city" the other part is me has a visual image of myself at my porkiest in a tiny-tiny bathing suit on the beaches of mexico. I refused to be the chunky one at Mexico. I would rather starve on the strip than go there! grr. What a delema!

As for my pathetic 3.6lbs lost in the first week. grr, grr, grr.....I've busted my *** at the gym all week, 5x to be exact til I was red in the face hoping that I would hit the 5 lbs mark. Right? I swear I'm the person with the "resistant" body type. Damn body - I swear my butt is a gutten for cellite! I'm determined to keep going, but vegas is going to be a major obstacle.

I've been journaling and drinking my water and going to the gym. So that is good. Unfortunately the stress of having my nursing board exam, which I've heard is hard, vegas, and a million other things in my life is simply making it hard to stay with the diet. Although - somehow it also keeps me centered. Almost like I don't have to think about everything else in my life, if I obsess about what I put into my mouth. What's wrong with me?

I'm super excited that Jan 21 is the official opening of my gym and that's when the start all the aerobics classes. Whoo-hoo. I'm already for some boot-camp and cardio-pump! Bring it!

As for the picture - addy and mom - you guys always pick the picture that I look the worst in, which is not hard to do since I'm the least photogenic person I know, but seriously give a girl a break. I'll find something - or if you guys find something this weekend. I have to approve it! hehe

I'm off to cram some more for this board exam - the NCLEX is going to be the end of me. Can't I just start working now?

Re: jessbabyosu and osuaddy's Mom

Jess first call the hotel many offer low carb option too cream chese hard boiled eggs maybe some low carb muffins but watch the ingredients if yo ar still in Induction.

As to the drinking that is easy be the DD and get them all home or back to the room safely

and ask yourself every time is this ________ worth losing to Mom and sis? Is this _________ worth feeling sick 9cause you will be sick when you carb out ofater you start atkins) and ruining my vacation?

Will this______ look better if I just skip the chewing and glue it right on my butt hips or thighs?

Make you an atkins emergency kit with some portable foods like foil pouch tuna some mayo packets water bottle salad dressing, your reasons why you want to lose weight and then read that every time you are tempted. ifyou have before andused to pics ask yourself which pic person you are helping control your body the big one or the little one? I ran all the way to goal from that former 300+ pounder trying to get back in my body.

You can do it. and Now we will all be looking forthose Monday monring posts all about how y'all low carbs your trip cause we never take a vacation from our WOL!
