    On my way to getting my sexy back.

    Hello,
    My name is Tena'e I am a past Atkins sucess story I originally started Atkins on 12/20/04 at 262 and with excercise i was down to about 198-200. by 11/05 i started adding a few carbs back in ( but not good carbs), and at first it wasnt showing much on the scale. up maybe 1 or 2 and then down 1-2 but nothing real serious. I did good at tricking the scale for about 10 month. Then in 10/06 is when the scale kept going up and up and up and now I am out of my cute 14 jeans and in my 16-18 jeans. I kept saying i would start back on Atkins on Sunday but this time i woke up out of my sleep on Thursday morning at about 3:00 am and said no you are starting today you can do more damage to yourself between now and Sunday. So that is what i did I started Thursday 10/18 weighing in at 220.5........ So I am glad to say i am at it again and plan to have my sexy back in stride well before spring of 2008

      Hi, 'Nae... I've been "tricking" the scale for about a month or two myself... one or two days on, one or two off... I've been amazed the scale hasn't show more damage just up and down the same few pounds. Reading your post, I see that's not uncommon... and I know I'll (very) soon reach a point where the scale ISN'T so forgiving...

      Sorry -- this is supposed to be about YOU, not me. Just want you to know that I understand where you are coming from because I'm struggling some myself right now. Good for you for starting immediately! I wish you much success.

          Hi Tena! Welcome to the board. No point in tricking the scale any longer, you did the right thing by waking up in the middle of the night to decide to start eating this way immediately! That's the way! Best of luck to you.

            Adena,

            Thanks for the words of encouragement that is ok that you were talking about your situation with the scale it lets me know that I am not alone.

            When i first saw your picture on this site my mouth dropped you look absolutly great. We dont know how much a difference we look until we see pictures and what great pictures you have. Keep up the great work.

                  What I know:
                  1-Atkins WOE/WOL plan works
                  2-I need to always work on the behaviors and triggers that make me over eat.
                  3-Atkins WOL is part of the puzzle, but is not the entire thing.
                  4-Self-deprecation only feeds our inner ego and not in a good way.

                    Today I am sitting here at work eating my lunch and unfortuanately my desk is accross from the snack cube. And 2 of my co-workers had a birthday this weekend so they went out and got treats. Chocolate on chocolate cake, brownies, cookies and Milk i can smell the chocolate. But i know i am strong and i will not let 2 minutes of sweet pleasure ruin my life stlye change. I will get back into those 14 jeans and then into those 12's and 10's and so on and so on.

                      It is going great. I got that burst of energy you get after being in introduction a few days. I cleaned my linen closet and was up way past my normal bed time and still tossed and turned all night. I am pretty sure i am burning the fat. ... Burn baby burn........

                      How is it going with you?

                        'Nae -- good for you for resisting those treats! Lately it's been tough, but when I'm in the groove it feels so easy (and so GOOD) to simply walk away from that crap. I'm looking forward to getting back there. Yay for the Atkins energy surge! I'm not quite feeling it yet, so if you are anxious to clean any more closets, feel free to head on over my way... I'm on day two of being back on track, though. Am really focusing on setting myself up for success to ensure it continues. No more scale tricks for me....
