I'm new...w/ lots of questions!!!
Hi everyone! I've been reading this website for about a week now, and it's sooo encouraging!!! First of all, my name is Angela and I'm 19 yrs old, in my 3rd year of college at Fayetteville State University. I am majoring in Middle Grades Education to become a teacher. I have always been overweight all my life, and the whole maternal line of my family are "bigger women". Well, it's time to break that chain, once and for all......I want to loose 100 pounds, and after that, maybe more. I first heard about Atkins through the popularity is rang out a few years ago. Once my grandparents tried it, and I saw the results, it was time to start on my own. So, now I am on Day 9 of induction, and I've lost 10 pounds. I know I shouldn't be weighing myself every single day..but, it's soooo addictive. But, since now I've let it out that I weigh myself everyday, I've been stuck at this 10 pounds for the last 3 days....I eat basically the same thing every day..maybe that's it..I don't know.Here's what I eat:
Breakfast: Scrambled Sausgae and Eggs
Lunch:Either a chicken breast w/ mustard, or venison burger (my dad is a deer hunter) w/ mustard
Supper: Whatever meat I had for lunch, plus a salad.
Snacks: pork skins or cheese
Here's my thing though.....I work full time on a second shift job, and so I work until 11:00. My supper break is at 6:30. I always eat supper then, and snack on pork skins until 9:30, my next break. and, I'm not even hungry, and I know the pork skins retain water, so I'm not giong to eat any anymore, after reading that they retain water.
I have a few questions that I can't find answers to, so please answer me back soon:
ok, first of all, is there a time when you can't eat late at night? I wake up around 8am, and don't go to bed until around 1 or 2am in the morning....so, 3 meals a day like atkins specifies isn't a lot, and if i do the 5 or 6 small meals...what is a small meal???
second of all, where is flax seed located in the grocery store? I have no idea what that is????
another question, I want to know about how long it takes someone to loose 100 pounds?
AND, last of all, I am trying to diet, and recently put down cigarettes 3 days ago...i'm DYING for something to put in my mouth, and that's why I snack on the pork skins at work when I'm not even hungry...because I crave something...the only thing I can think of is to get some crushed ice.....because I was chewing gum, until I got to that page in the Atkins book, where it clearly specifies..that is a HUGE NO-NO!..So, with that being said, is there anything I can snack or chew on that won't kill me on this diet to get rid of cigarette cravings????
And, I join the gym tomorrow (pay-day), and I'm truly excited...a lot of my friends are buying bicycles and going riding every weekend for hours at the time....so, i'm thinking about buying one too, if I can get a good, reasonable one. Well, you will def. be hearing more of me on here..and, i'll post my "before" pics I took up on here soon......... thanks
