Thank you :) What has worked for me is lean meats......plenty salad veggies and I season everything with lemon juice (real). ;) Initially, I lost 140lbs in 7 months.........later, I stalled for a few months and started all over. While I didn't do Atkins or extreme low-carb........it became a way of eating for me. Also, I have a reward day.........Sundays. I go out to dinner with my husband and eat anything I want ;) Since I am back on track Monday..........I don't give it a chance to get stored. Jess |
I'm sorry I didn't respond back to you.I'm getting forgetful in my..... well let's just say my memory isn't what it use to be. I love fish and need to go to the harbor and see what they have. We have some in the freezer, it's been in there about a year so not really sure if it is still good.:rolleyes: WOW, You have lost alot. A big CONGRATS to you!!!:thumbup: :thumbup: How has your life improved after losing all that weight? I would like to lose(and keep it off) about 20 pounds. So far only 1 pound. I have been feeling like a ticking time bomb lately and not really sure why.:eek: Lat year I lost about 20 pounds ,just watched my portions ate alot of lean meat and salads.cut out all bread and sweets. I will give this aother week or so if no results then I will try that again. Thanks for your input. |

I had posted before about kimkins..........very useful ;) As far as how I feel? I died and was reborn. I have lots of energy, full of life and I am very happy with myself. I used to be depressed ALL the time and just miserable. I have no hypertension or hyperlipidemia as before and I just feel..........good :) Hang in there, it will be worth it in the end. Here are BEFORE and after pics of my low-carb journey (don't laugh) :p http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l133/Future_RN_Jess/ |

You are very fortunate. I worry about my chin and face.I think most the weight I have gained is in those areas. I blew it tonight I ate a turkey and cheese on rye. |

I was over 300lbs.....and my face, arms, legs went back to place. I guess losing the weight at a young age helped too :) |
oh, so I guess my chance flew out the window... ;) |

My belly feels like jelly........simply, there was way too much weight lost and it's like a deflated balloon :( All the other parts usually go back to place ;) Please don't get discouraged. I am not a mother yet, but plan on having starting a family this year. I was contemplating getting an abdominoplasty (skin removal) but I am way to scared of surgery..........I can live with my loose belly ;) |
OK...I am in...I have been debating doing this and thought what the heck...might as well, what have I got to lose? How about 25 - 30 pounds! I start tomorrow...wish me luck! All my life, I NEVER had to watch what I ate...then around 30, the pounds started sneaking on. I lost down to a size 4 about 5 years ago with Metabolife (ephedra) but as soon as I stopped taking it the pounds came back and they brought their nasty little friends with them (extra pounds). I have cut processed sugar out of my diet already, so I am o.k. there...it is the other sugar that is already in food that I have to eliminate...hunger is not an issue for me...I FORGET to eat as it is now...and even with not eating, the pounds keep coming. So tomorrow is the day...I need to go weigh and take a before picture...arghhh!!! I have really enjoyed this thread! Keep up the good work ladies!!!:thumbup: Oh and my hubby is a type 2 Diabetic and has lost a good 30 pounds watching what he eats...his disease is almost under control but the side effects of Diabetes have really wrecked his body...I wish we had known then what we know now about the food we put into our mouths.:( |
Happy you joined us Debbie.Good luck! |
Nice to have more on board to chat with! I'm not doing so well right now. I've been sick this whole weekend. So I've been cheating a bit but not too bad. I'll make myself be very strict starting tomorrow. |
Got a question..Sugar Free French Vanilla Coffee Creamer...it is non-dairy - net carb 1 per serving...is it allowed during the first two weeks...or just Splenda? |
I think you can but in my experience I was totally addicted to that stuff and I was putting in way too much and I realized I needed to stop using it. So I bought a little carton of heavy cream and you just have to put a tablespoon to get it real creamy and it's 1 gram as well. So that keeps me from having 5 grams in my coffee :p In the atkins book it does allow heavy cream. |

So I started putting a tablespoon or two of the french vanilla and a packet of splenda to help make it sweeter and that was ok. But I really do like just the plain heavy cream with splenda. It seems creamier. I look forward to my morning and afternoon cup. I don't go through it as fast either so it saves me money too. |

I must be doing something wrong.I still have only lost only 1 pound!! I guess I need to change something up. I think I should have lost altleast 3 pounds by now. |
I am keeping a journal too...of everything I put in my mouth. I am measuring so I can keep track of the carbs...hopefully. I am also taking Evening Primrose Oil & Flaxseed Oil Capsules...any of you take supplements? Will they affect induction in a negative way...should I wait to take them? I also need to start back on Magnesium...it is really good for your heart and digestive system. |
Ok, so I did the 2 weeks :) Now my husband and I are just going to eat better and watch what we eat. We are going to watch fat and calories and start exercising. I think If I look at another piece of meat right now I'm going to puke! :D I'm having Rasin Bran for lunch today :) |

Have you been eating any of the processed foods like the bars or tortillas? I was and recently read that they actually can stall weight loss:( So I\'m backing away from them. |
