Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Confession time is here. I've been off plan for the past 2 weeks, I had some visitors from England, and I tried for the first day to stay on plan, but, as it was only the 3rd visit I've had in the15yrs I've been here!, I went a little crazy, and ate and drank anything I wanted....and that was a LOT!! Well, they only stayed a week, but this past week I couldn't get my head back into Atkins mode, so I stayed eating and drinking whatever I wanted. I can feel the difference, I don't feel nearly as good as I do when I stick to plan. The scales revealed the bad news this morning, I am up 4.5lbs. I feel like I can get back on track now, so as of this morning I am going to start induction again, I'll prepare everyone I'll be a little grouchy for the next few days!!! Hope everyone has been doing well, I havent been keeping up with the posts for the past couple of weeks, but I'm going to get back into the swing of things today! /Michigan ( sad, bloated and even rounder than before 340/308.5/(250 mini goal) 140 5/1/01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 I am planning on being at my goal weight by Christmas. I've lost 20 lbs. in the first 6 weeks, so I think I can do 30 more in the next 4 months! : ) mary ---------------- 190/170/140 BMI = 24.43 7/7/01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Um in four months I'd like to get to 175 lbs which is about 30lbs to lose. I've got a bit more to go on my induction yet.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 , I hope you have much success getting back in to the swing of things. I truly hope it is a very smooth and ungrumpy transtition back into ATkins land ;o) One thing is for sure you'll be feeling better in a week or so.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 I will join in on this. My birthday is Dec 24 and what a gift it would be to drop 20 more pounds by then!!! New mini goal 168. Roxane McEuen 210.8/188/168/145 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 I was wondering where you were - we missed you! I'm trying to be extra good this week too. I actually maintained my Friday weight to today (first time in about a month!) instead of bouncing up my normal 2-3 weekend pounds, so I figure with the hard work I'm doing renovating (which has to count for that nasty E word!), I should try and be extra good this week and see if I can go down a couple more pounds before Friday. My 2 year Atkinsversary is on Saturday and I'd like to be back down closer to what I was a year ago before the cycle of cheating started!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 I'm going to be optimistic and hope to lose 28.5 lbs by Xmas...that would take me to 280 and I'd be soooooo happy!!!! /Michigan, 340/308.5/(250 mini goal) 140 5/1/01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 I also have a goal for Dec. This Dec will be my husband and my 20th anniver of meeting each other. 20 years ago 12/16 we met and started dateing.. I would love to be in a size 16 or 18... When I started I was in a size 26... I still wear them but they are really big on me. When I met I was a size 10/12... I had just met my goal from being on Atkins diet before... I think that is sooooo funny.. The only thing is well the weight came off alot easier at age 21 than 41... Masters 285/259/150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 I calculate the December goal to be 18 weeks away. I would like to get below 200 by then. Last night I was at 221.5 so if I lose an average of 1.25 per week I could make it!!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Me Too, Me Too, I want to have a goal for December, too. I think 1.5 pounds a week sounds pretty achievable (even through Thanksgiving!). That would be 24 pounds in 16 weeks. That would put me at 250. OK, Vered and everyone else. I, hereby, vow to reach 250 by Christmas Eve. Now, its official, and I have to do it. Right? Sydne 285/274/250/180 7/30/01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 I'd like to make a goal of getting down under 200 lbs. by the end of December. That would be about 7 /12 pounds a month and I think I can do that!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 My December goal is to reach my GOAL weight.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 But Becca, if you're jewish, does it matter that your birthday is day after Christmas? I've always thought I was lucky I wasn't christian because then I'd be getting 2-in-1 presents. But since I'm not I don't care . It's neat that we have the same birthday. It's called boxing day in the more british places. Did you get my private email? Still waiting for your addy to send you that Tahina. Let's get those 20 lbs going! (I think I said 16 though ).

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 , you know, your weight loss pattern is so like mine. 6 lbs the first week then nothing (or in my case I gained 2 lbs! <g>). In my case I think it was adding in that jello with whipped cream - now, of course most people have no problem with that but I apparently do - so who knows perhaps you're the same? Are you eating jello/cream ? Or any other artificial sweetener stuff? Speaking of which, what do you think of that Splenda? Mine isn't here yet but I got a note in the mail today that something was waiting for me at the post office. The note was dated August 15 but I only got it today - much like the weird emails that surface days later on yahoo .

I can only think of a couple of things...maybe not enough veg, maybe not enough water. Maybe not enough protein or fat...and too much cheese. I don't know whether I'm coming or going!!!!! > Speaking of which, what do you think of that Splenda?
