[EverLosing]

It's a huge day of celebration for me on my Atkins journey!!! I'm going over to the Celebration Forum to dance in a little while!! Come join me!!

Hope you're all doing well today! I'm so glad to have a weekend to myself!! I'm really excited and cannot hide it so I'm going to stop babbling now and go make the post I've been waiting for!!

Have a wonderful day, everyone!!

Oz, I'm hoping to hear you brag about your champion resistance today!!

[EverLosing]

OOPS!! Sorry, people, got ahead of myself! It's the 16th, not the 17th of May!! Hey, I got the day right!!!

Good morning Everlosing, can't wait to come back later and see what all the excitement is about.

I finally got the scale moving again, I STOPPED using extra coconut oil. I think the CO is great stuff and is magic for some, but I think I was already using enough extra fats, I use butter and cream and olive oil and grapeseed oil and sesame oil, I think I didn't need the extra.

Or it could have been the 2 pounds of strawberries I have eaten over the last week. They do seem to be a wooshie food for me. Either way, off CO for a while and eating strawberries as long as they stay in season!

Well, gotta go to work, everyone have an awesome day!

Congrats EL, I'm with you today (though 10 lbs behind). Hit Onderland this morning!

Congrats on getting the scale moving MtoM ! Glad you figured out the coconut oil...

Off to the market, then golf, then planting 60 impatiens!

Time for breakfast! I weigh 364 today, and I'm EXCITED! Time to get out and actually join the gym since my free passes expired, and it's pouring rain all day today. Can't wait to hit all the machines. Tried yesterday, but nobody was home (really small gym).

Hello everyone!
Day #2 down.

Am OP today, but ate perhaps more than I ought to have eaten... (can you eat too much tuna+mayo?) Emotional eating still an issue for me. Gargh. Did a bit of cardio (jumprope + my kickboxing) and some yoga.

Managed to duck out of a dinner. Was racking my brain trying to think up ways to eat OP or deal w. eating in a social situation, but I think that the simplest solution might just be to avoid them for these two weeks. It's not permanent, but is necessary right now.

Congrats, Everlosing!!! Celebrating with you!

Momtomany1~ Good job getting the scale moving again. It's tough to cut back on healthy foods that are fine by themselves but just don't work for you right now, but good for you for doing it.

Slapshot~ Those 60 impatients sound like work, but worth it in the end. Lots of good day activities.

JohnSantos (I keep misreading your name as "John STAMOS" (aka uncle jesse from Full House) Hope you show the gym who's boss!

Hope everyone's on plan and going strong!

Hello everyone!

Ever~Congrats! I'm heading over to the Celebration Forum to see what you got! Can't wait!

Mom~WTG on getting the scale moving again!! KUTGW!

Slap~Sounds like you have a busy day! Have fun!

John~I love your enthusiasm about getting to the gym, that's great! KUTGW! And good job on 364!

Focused~Good job on avoiding the social situation that may have lead you to go off plan! I feel that way too, I try to avoid situations where there will be temptation and stick to what I know is safe! It's more important to me to stay on plan and lose weight right now! WTG!

My scale was up 2 pounds this am but I'm not stressing because my pants are literally falling off of my behind so I know I'm still losing! Got a busy day today with the kiddos baseball games but I'm gonna try to get in some walking, hopefully 1.5-2 miles.

I hope you are all having a good day today and enjoy the weekend!

Hi every one,

I hope every one is enjoying there weekend. Im doing great on track no cheating but not eating enough. I get so busy I forget to eat and find I only ate once or twice a day. Ahhhh... so need to get better with that as I know I wont lose. Still doing good with no diet coke. =)

[proud mom]

Wow what a great day! Sounds like there is good news everywhere! Have good Saturday, I'm off to play golf. Eva

Morning Everyone!
Just a quick check in.
At 191 for the second day in a row (actually 190.8 ~ so a hit at 190!!) so I'm very happy. Forward progress... or should I saw downward?!
Lots to do this weekend... I'm painting some walls, exploring a few antique/second-hand stores, getting some of my design-class homework done and writing a few posts for my interior design/remodeling blog. Lots of stuff... but it's fun!
But right now I'm on my way over to the celebration forum to see what's up with Ev!
I'll check back here later!
