Eating all the right foods, exercising everyday til I'm ready to pass out and not losing a lb in over a week. I have pushed and pushed and gagged all this fat down and cannot get the scale to move a freakin little.Why?
It's just not losing in the week thing cause I've been at 171 forever! I had gotten to 171 3 mos ago but was eating too much cream and couldn't lose because of it. I stopped eating cream and stayed at 171 still. I gained 4 lbs when I introduced cream back into my diet and immediately went back on induction. I lost the 4 lbs but haven't moved in over 12 days. Something has to be wrong with me? I wonder if I go on the fat fast for a week to see if that helps? ((GAG)) I have to go for bloodwork this week, I should have them check my hormone levels too. I am just at my end here!!!! ]]> lisau39 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/947-frustrated-but-hanging-there.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/924-successful-week-behind-me.html Sun, 21 Jun 2009 12:27:58 GMT I lost 4 of the 5 lbs I gained this week. What a boob! I am such a knucklehead for losing sight in the first place.
Anyway, I'm back on track and even exercising vigorously. I bought 2 of Jillian Michaels workout DVD's and her books to help motivate me. I can do this1 I just wish it wasn't so danged hard! ( see there's the lazy me poking her ugly head out!)
I hope today is a good day and I don't struggle too much.
Hugs to all

I took the 2002 book out from the library again to reread. I am going nuts!
I was eating what I was supposed to and was down to 170. I've been stuck there for a while but I knew I needed to exercise more.
Wed I got on the scale and it was 175! I flipped out! My TOM was over there was no reason for weight gain. I ate a 1/4 of a wheat bagel with butter and a peppermint patty and 2 rolls of those NECCO wafers.:bang:
What is wrong with me? Thank God I was almost done working Fri when I pulled this stunt cause I crashed at home for 2 hrs!
I have not had a cheat day since i started in Jan. What happened to me?
Anyway, I'm back on induction. Lots of fat for me. I am very disgusted with myself at this point.
Yea yea I know we all have our moments but to let 5 lbs throw me over the edge.Scary business.

I eat the same darned things every day and can't get the scale to move. I feel as if I eat too much Atkins and my family says I don't eat enough. Stop the insanity, let me off! I just wanna eat like I want to without my family/friends in my face. They get me so frustrated. Last week they had a pot luck supper night @ work. EVERYONE was like "try this" or "no this"
I came so close to eating brownies and chile and macaroni. I left. I had no choice. I felt as if I was being taunted by a bunch a of school kids!
Be careful you don't get caught up in friends/ family trying to feed you. ]]> lisau39 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/874-getting-caught-up.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/843-exercise-woes.html Sun, 17 May 2009 11:46:24 GMT I am proud of myself. It's not always easy but for the most part I'm coming along. I really started exercising and I think that's got me 'feeling' good. All those endorphins.
Being 43 and having 4 kids I am a bit 'saggy' in the middle and hate it. I have to work harder on my middle. My friends say I should be proud of my baby pooch. EEWWW. I am proud of my kids not my fat! :rotfl:
Anyway, it's raining here in Ct so walking outside isn't going to happen. I'll have to muscle the TV from my 5 yr old so I can pop in a DVD to exercise to. Maybe i can make her a partner.:lightbulb

I found a recipe for low carb ice cream and made a pig of myself. I didn't gain anything but I didn't lose either. I was miserable looking in the mirror, cause I knew I was a loser doing this to myself.
I was jusyt on top of the freakin world! I shot myself right down. WHY O WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF? I am my worst enemy.
Hopefully I can stay on track now. ]]> lisau39 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/819-back-saddle-so-speak.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/700-i-finally-dropped-another-size.html Sat, 28 Mar 2009 14:33:40 GMT Well it took forever! Or so it seems anyway. I finally went down to a size 12! From a 22 to a 12! One more size to go for me. The last 15 lbs are the hardest to lose I swear.
I did it and I will keep on doing it. Slow and steady.
I bought a new car the other day so buying clothes isn't an option right now, I couldn't afford a pack of gum right now!LOL!!
I feel on top of the world right now and I am going to enjoy it! ]]> lisau39 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/700-i-finally-dropped-another-size.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/694-i-feel-if-i-havent-been-here-forever.html Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:36:48 GMT My oldest daughter had her baby 10 days ago and I have been so very busy that I haven't posted in a bit. I log in every day to read and catch up but haven't given my 2 cents. I lost another lb, woo hoo. Slow but steady wins the race, eh? I've been sticking to the Atkins plan, but really love the lo carb desserts!:duh: I know I have to cut back to lose quicker, but I can't! I'm such a junk food junkie! I know I have to change my behaviors, but it is so hard. I need to log in here more and really reach out to succeed. I'm 12 lbs from my next goal and I know I can do it. Why I keep myself from succeeding is beyond me.
I saw someone I know the other day and he told me how beautiful I look. I was dizzy with happiness. So I have the toolsand the know how, I need to do it! Have a great day all! Thanks for listening. ]]> lisau39 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/694-i-feel-if-i-havent-been-here-forever.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/666-wonderful-spring-weather-here.html Sun, 08 Mar 2009 21:35:32 GMT I hope this nice weather lasts. It's been in the 60's all w/e. I'm dead on my feet from working but take my 5 yr old to the park everday and what a relief not to trudge through snow! I know folks around here probably thought we were crazy @ the park in 15 degree weather but we are healthier because of it! Granny always told us, 20 min outside everyday will keep you healthy and make you feel good!
And to all of us having stalls, the warm weather is coming, lets take full advantage!I am ready for spring! Woohoo!! ]]> lisau39 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/666-wonderful-spring-weather-here.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/654-still-losing.html Sat, 28 Feb 2009 22:48:21 GMT Those numbers are falling back! I love it! I even have my friend this week and still weighed in 3 lbs lighter! Can't wait to get on next week.
I've got to scan some recipes for this weeks menus. Planning is a big part of this for me. Without a plan I see how easy it is to reach for something quick and not necessarily good for me.
Another week down. ]]> lisau39 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/654-still-losing.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/650-i-got-lazy-paid-price.html Wed, 25 Feb 2009 21:46:52 GMT I hadn't lost a lb in almost 2 weeks and it's because I got too relaxed! Too many veggies. I got so busy with work and school that I stopped writing in my food journal What a boob I am! I know I need to be watched like a little kid. See what happens!
Well I am back on track and the lbs are leaving me now!!! WOO HOO!!!
It's so important to follow Atkins in the beginning. So important. ]]> lisau39 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/650-i-got-lazy-paid-price.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/617-st-valentines-day.html Sun, 15 Feb 2009 13:35:59 GMT Well, I got through the day yesterday.I did treat myself to a piece of Hersheys Special Dark SF candy though.
I wasn't going to give myself back to sugar, just to eat my way through a box of chocolates. I feel good today too.
I still haven't budged the darn scale but I know I haven't cheated either.
My car is in the shop for the week so my 5 yr old and I will take another walk today. The sun is shining and it's a bit chilly but I'm looking forward to it!Have an awesome day all!!!!!:) ]]> lisau39 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/617-st-valentines-day.html http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/614-no-loss-week.html Fri, 13 Feb 2009 00:42:48 GMT O well.

Wahoo!! It was hard let me tell you but I did it. I didn't even lick the cake icing off my fingers! I am so very proud of myself!
I think by reading Chuck's post today about cheating and TJ's post I was in good shape.
Again I have to say thank you to ADBB for giving me the strength to keep going and to say NO THANK YOU! to sweets and breads.
Slowly but surely I'm getting to my goal. Only 20 more pounds to go! It's been a rough road but I think I can see home from here. ]]> lisau39 http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/blogs/lisau39/598-today-baby-shower.html
