~CC Roll Call~Sunday, August 2, 2009

[Sherri]

Happy Sunday CC'ers!
Beginning of a new week. Another week to get closer to our goals.
Like all things we set out to do, have a plan and carry the correct tools you'll need to get through it. Always pushing forward.
It was weigh day for me today. Weighing once a week sure has helped me refocus on other areas of my journey, rather than focusing on the metal monster.
Lost another 1.5 pounds. I'll take it. At least i'm going the right direction.
Wishing all of you a great Low Carb Sunday.

I too look at the scales too much! I got threw induction again. Lost a little, but it may be from not drinking enough water. I went out to eat and stuck to the diet in the face of a buffet. How bad can you feel when you're eating steak? I'm not having cravings and stuff so much this time so its been easier. Never did quiet give up smoking, cut down a lot though. After doing induction, I am up 2 pounds from where I left off. So a real happy day for me. Got to move my ticker!

Good evening, everybody.

Hey Sherri and Rita, great job on the weight loss!
Today was my 14th day of Induction. As of this morning I have lost a little over 18#s and 7.75" (4" from my WAIST!!!). Don't really look any thinner though and my clothes fit pretty much the same. The reason for that is that I should be wearing a larger size but finding 4x is hard and I just wasn't going to buy even bigger clothes.

So I'll take final readings tomorrow morning and calculate my CCLL/ACE. All in all I think it was a successful Induction but I'm moving on to OWL tomorrow. More veggies will be nice but I really hope to get to dairy and nuts/seeds.

I know that heavy folks can stay in Induction longer and that would mean faster weight loss but I'm pushing my body with this low a level of carbs so it's onward up the ladder for me. Based on past low-carb experience, I don't anticipate stalls from the lower rung foods...it's the bread/starchy veggies that seem to do me in. We'll see how it goes!
