Anyone want to join me? Low carbing anyone?

[chloeandj]

I'm curious who is still low carbing??? Oscar's mom? My2boyz? Jesse?? Alona1??
Finally after recovering from another sinus infection I started back on my diet yesterday. I weighed yesterday and was so pleased to see that I had not gained back any weight while off Atkins for several weeks now.

YOu're doing so good!! A stone is 14 lbs right?

I've dropped another 10 pounds since starting back on atkins a couple weeks ago. I am really starting to look different now and people are noticing. It makes me very motivated to excercise and get the rest of the weight off. I think my goal is another 30 pounds but it just depends how I look.

Hey guys...I am still at 10 pounds...I fell off of the wagon BAD this weekend...tomorrow, I have to start back low carbing...probably have to get back into induction...not sure how many carbs you have to consume to kick you out of induction. I need to add exercise to my plan and try to drink more water...that is my downfall right now...not enough water. But my clothes are fitting way better than before I started low carbing! So I guess I am accomplishing something!!!

I got REAL sick on the Adkins diet. Be sure to watch your protein intake, too much is not good for your liver or kidneys. It can cause very serious liver and kidney damage.

It is not for everyone that is for sure. But since I have taken sugar out of my diet, I don't crave it like I used to. I was addicted to sugar big time. And I went to my Dr. a month or so ago with pain in my chest. I was worried it was due to the Low Carb diet somehow. But it was Costochondritis and not related to the diet. It was an inflammation of the cartilage under the ribs and mimicks the pain of a heart attack. He commended me on the Low Carb lifestyle so that made me feel better about it. You do need to keep a close watch on what your body is telling you. After the first week or so and you are not feeling well, check with your Dr. You will go thru some yukky feeling just coming away from sugar...as with anything, withdrawal can be very hard on your system. But it is a very do-able diet for me and I am sticking with it...even if I don't lose another pound, I feel so much better!

Yes, I'm still here! I haven't posted in a while but I'm still low-carbing too. I got side tracked a little bit with all of the remodeling at our son's house and helping my Mom hunt for a house but I'm back on track. Being on the road a lot kind of gets in the way sometimes I haven't gained any weight back so I'm heading for my next goal...another 10 pounds.

I have had costochondritis. From doing pilates of all things!! LOL I suffered with it for 2 months before I decided it was time to get checked if I had a broken rib or something . If only I had known a few days on anti-inflammatories would take the pain away!!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one still doing this! Good luck on your next 10 pounds!

Yep, I took Celebrex for two weeks and it was gone...like a miracle. The pain is the worst I think I have ever felt. I could not take a deep breath it hurt so bad...and then I got sick with a cold of all things...try coughing and sneezing with that mess! Before I went to the Dr., I really thought something was terribly wrong with me!

Thanks...I'm determined to get there before shorts season arrives! Oh, I ordered a set of books from a seller on eBay. She made them up for her and her family so the lo-carb lifestyle didn't get boring...there's some good recipes in there. They're called 'Low Carb Creations' A simple, Affordable Recipes. There are 4 small books in the set and the nutritional information is all there...she also puts what phase of a low-carb plan each recipe is suited for. Here's her website: www.4yourgood.com Gotta go for a bit but I'll be back......

OK....so I went to her website and ordered the set of cookbooks...$21.99 + $3.03 Shipping. When I got to Paypal to pay for them, it added another $4.00 for Shipping and Handling! Is that the way you ordered and paid for yours? Was your shipping over $7.00? I canceled the order and emailed her...have not heard back yet.
