Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Welcome Robin, You sound like you've been through a lot with the diet and what happened to you along the way. Don't give up, you can do it!!! I am giving myself the same advice too, cause I am not feeling too good right now, but I know I just need to give it more time and more dedication into what I am trying to loose!!

(Robin Vance) I'm Robin and I've been on the Atkins WOE for alittle over a year. I have some good info to share, and also am often in need of info and support from other Atkins dieters.

I had lost 51 pounds on Atkins and was 19 from goal. Then I had major foot surgery, was incapcitated for 2 months, but low-carbed all the way through it and never gained an ounce. Then I had to start massive cortisone treatments (new tumor) and gained 24 pounds seemingly overnight. The first 14 was from the cortisone shots and meds, the next 10 was from my own frustration, binging and not drinking my water. Now I really am back at it full bore! I want to get at least 20 off by the end of September. I started strict induction and even some exercise (Body Flex tapes) which is a BIG sacrifice to me! LOL!! I have lost 6 of the 24 pounds since Thursday - have been getting all my water in. Robin Vance rvance@... >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Welcome lena, I think you will do great! Maybe you might try to introduce at least poultry to your body! You may be pleasantly surprised. But if not I know you will think up ways to get your protein. Ree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Thanks Gail, I'll try reducing caffeine by 1/2 C. intervals. It sounds less painful! Ree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Robin, I try to drink at least 70-80 oz of water a day! I find that it does help me to lose. 170/145/125 In a message dated 8/14/99 9:35:11 AM Eastern Daylight Time, rvance@... writes: << Do the rest of you find that you lose better with the old massive water requirement?

Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Robin, Have you tried the flavored water. I got some yeterday from Wal-Mart. I like the strawberry and the kiwi-strawberry flavors. They are great to use when you need a change.

I have to drink 100-120 oz daily to keep losing. I get very sick of it from time to time and just can't get motivated to drink it. Right now I'm going through a good stage where I'm getting it down. I went back on induction Thursday and have lost six pounds during this time, but I think it's because I started drinking all my water again.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Robin, Do you think you can't lose while drinking these flavored waters because of the artificial sweetner in them. That is awful!! They taste so good and are a good break from regular H2O sometimes. In a message dated 8/14/99 10:21:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time, rvance@... writes: << From: rvance@... (Robin Vance) If you mean those yummy ones, like Peach Melba ,etc from Walmart I love them.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Gail - thanks for the caffeine advice. I woke up today headache free...but if it returns, I think that I just may take your advice cuz I don't like feeling grouchy when I otherwise am elated to be on Atkins! :-)Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Jen - I find the support of a great group of friends on a great mailing list is extremely important for our success! There's strength in numbers, plus there are things that aren't always in the book that we've learned along the way from other more experienced low-carbers. Like the water thing. I tried low-carb lots of times in the past, never with much success past the first week or so. At first I'd lose, then the loss would stop, and after a few weeks I'd get frustrated and quit. I didn't know about the water 'requirement' and thusly did not continue to lose weight. If I ever did know about the water thingy, I didn't believe it! I believe it now! Do the rest of you find that you lose better with the old massive water requirement? Robin Vance rvance@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I traded one nutrisweet product for another!!! Plus the small amount of calories too, but these slushes really keep me away from something sweet I am not supposed tohave. Ok, got to be honest though, I did slip up last week with the icecream. Was it worth it? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
