Guest guest Posted June 17, 1999 Report Share Posted June 17, 1999 Judi, I have a heart monitor on while I am on the treadmill. It is a program that is automatic. My heart rate starts at 104 and then proceeds to 150. Not good I say! But you have to start somewhere. It starts out at 2.2 miles then advances to 3.4. I was ready for it to stop, believe me, but everyday it should get easier. I think today has been my best day so far as feeling well. I think I have more energy and the most wonderful thing about today is that I found you all! I think it was suppose to happen! I love it here!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 1999 Report Share Posted June 17, 1999 Hi Kath...Oh they do!...When I start my day the first thing I do before work is take my supplements...I have to break the amount of them down into 3x a day....But it motivates me .....I take a bunch around 7ish then another around 2 ish and another around 7pm ish...I try not to take them after that cause I have to take alot of water with them and you know what that means!.....This is the best thing I have ever done for myself...I am always doing for my 3 grown kids and 5 grandchildren but this is the first thing I have done for myself since I was a teenager....I'm so happy .......Not having the sugar and carbos is the answer..If I gained weight on this diet I would do it....And that says alot....Sugar and carbos are poison to us!.I had heard about this diet from other prople over the years but only listened with half an ear, but one person said things that stuck...and 5 months after our conversation I said..Hummmmmm let me give it a try...for 2 longgggggggggggggg days I stopped the carbos and saugar and the 3rd. day I woke up looking around and saying Whattttttt is goin gon...I felt terrific, tons of energy, love of life etc....But you have to really examine every single pkg, of stuff you eat..Like I told someone earlier, I loved O.J...drank almost a quart a day..went to bed with a glass next to me cause if I woke up during the nite it tasted so good and when I woke up in the morning I would reach for it...Little did I know I was really messing with myself..1 8oz glass of O.J. is more than a WHOLE days allowence of carbos!....I was screwing myself before I even put my feet on the floor in the morning......But life is throwing me many many curves lately and I have been failing and eating things I shoundn't.....But all the support I am getting from this site is helping me...So I thank you all.....judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 1999 Report Share Posted June 18, 1999 Hi Jackie....I lost the weight by in that short amount of time by being on the induction diet ,strictly!.... When I faltered I lost nothing, didn't gain, but lost nothing for 4 months...I was in a slump....I had gotten cocky when I found out I had lost 55lbs. in 21/2 months and then ate just a little something else(wrong) every day..I had no scale then so did know know I was not losing....Thought that since I had changed my eating by 95% towards Atkins I must be losing...wrong...and I have not recouperated yet...Still upset about it .I lost 4 months on this wonderful diet , that is why I joined this site 3 days ago...best thing I ever did!..Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 1999 Report Share Posted June 18, 1999 Hi.Jackie..No I eat now 3 meals a day...For breakfast; a few links of sausage, sometimes scrablmbled eggs with cheese...for lunch a salad, either tuna or egg salad or chicken salad with lots of mayo, on a bed of romaine lettece (less carbos then iceberg) and a couple of grape tomatoes,(well a bunch of grape tomatoes!).....I snack about 4pm. on pepperoni, or olives,mattzerella cheese etc...And for dinner I have meat, a little veggie and lots of WATER....uh, I miss my diet soda and O.J!...If I want to snack at nite I eat celery dipping it in cream cheese (whipped).....I should do exercise...One week I walked every other nite and almost doubled my weight loss that week!...But I am lazy. this weekend I am borrowing a stationary bike and I can ride miles on it...I tried it and seem to be able to do 5 miles a day on it..takes me about 30 min. but I feel good when I do it and I do lose calories and the best thing is that it is good for my heart etc...Opps gotta go finish blowdrying my hair...will og on after I finish to see if there are any new e-mails..Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 1999 Report Share Posted June 18, 1999 Judi...I guess we all have to learn about the sugars and carbs...guess we have been into them so long that we think that Atkins way cannot be the right way. It is so good to hear that you are getting back on track again and I know that the support of this group is really helpful. Keep up the good work and I thank you for helping me get started on the right foot with many of your stories. Friends, Kathie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 1999 Report Share Posted June 18, 1999 Since I have been on this list I have heard a few different things regarding lettuce. Some people say romaine has less carbs, but then some people have said the iceberg has less carbs...anybody know for fact which one has less carbs...

Guest guest Posted June 18, 1999 Report Share Posted June 18, 1999 Now Sue gave me a web site with a carb counter and it says romaine has a few less then Iceberg...who's right? === Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 1999 Report Share Posted June 18, 1999 Hi Pete..I never said I had the carb counter, that must have been someone else..I just go by the Atkinds book and always look at the back of pkg's....judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 1999 Report Share Posted June 18, 1999 I would not worry to much about the lettuce, from what Atkins says... romaine and iceburg are only .3 g apart from each other. There are so many different things out on the web, I have the Atkins carb counter and I usually follow that, but there is not too big a difference.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 1999 Report Share Posted June 18, 1999 The only reason I ask is, 1..I eat a lot of salad, even though I have cut back to one a day, and 2 on the website carb counter, from sue, there is like a 3 gram difference in favor of the romaine. === Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 1999 Report Share Posted June 18, 1999 Wow, that is a big difference.... I am not sure what to tell you, according to Atkins Romaine is 1.9 for 1 cup loosly packed and iceburg is 1.6 for 1 cup..... Maybe you could find some packaged romaine and look at the nutrition label..... I wish I could tell you more.... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep tabs on us and understand what we are trying to do. As far as I know they don't try to make us do one diet or another.They are just there for weigh ins blood tests and support. Soon as things get back to normal around here I will certainly look for one. Hope you can do the same. Good luck Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On his 10th birthday he got diabetes. I had to give him two shots of insulin a day. He also had cushings disease. But regardless he was so full of life and so happy then yesterday morning he just acted kinda funny not himself. I couldn't get him to eat so off to the vet we went.He said BABY was dying and to treat him would only make his sugar go really crazy and there was no cure. He was hemorrhaging internally. This was at 10:00am. I was like a robot the rest of the day, I was here but yet I wasn't. He was my friend and I will miss him til the day I die.
