    Congrats on the weight loss everyone!
    My goal for this week: Don't go crazy on Mexican food when I visit Cali. That's it. It's going to be hard enough without any extra goals.
    I was thinking the exact same thing!! i'm leavin for mexico sat morning. oh man, rice and beans!!

    Didn't get a chance to sneak out to the treadmill because the bf was really, really sick. He's doing better today so I may run out there and do a few miles. Really trying to step up my game. I haven't worked out in a month, and haven't been eating well either, so no wonder the weight isn't coming off. :indifferent:

    kick *kitten* pic by the way, rach!!
  • My system is all screwed up!

    I weighed myself yesterday morning, and I was up 1.5 pounds. Weighed myself today, because I freaked out yesterday and I was down 2 pounds. WTF!!

    My food was absolute CRAP yesterday. I was traveling for work so I sat on my butt all day long in a car, ate junk food for lunch, got home late and was ravenous, so I overate at dinner, was over my calories, even taking my extra exercise calories, I was over calories, and my workout sucked yesterday morning. And it's TOM.

    And I'm down .5 from Monday.

    Clearly, I have no idea what I'm doing.

    im down to 145.0, sorry im so late! just moved back into the dorms this weekend so things have been a little hectic.
  • SCORE!! 219.4

    This is worthy of caps for a very big reason. Getting a second opinion. I had been strictly counting my calories for months and excercising just to GAIN weight. I wasn't feeling right, went to the doc and she told me just "try harder" but I knew at my weight and ripe age of 23, I should've lost something but my doc compltely ignored me. So out of curiosity, my mom took my blood results and explained my symptoms to her doctor... well apparently I had a pretty obvious insulin and metabolic resistance condition that my former doc should have caught. I wasn't and havent been processing sugars correctly. He reccommended the Atkins Diet, just to see if that could help even me out that he uses on his diabetic patients. I was pretty skeptical but I am desperate to feel better!

    Sure enough. Two days on the diet and for the first time in 6 months of trying. Ive lost weight!!! 2.6 pounds to be exact! THE SCALE MOVED in the downward direction. Holy Moly. (even if it may be water weight, I don't care, it moved!!!!) Plus, my energy has extra increased and I finally feel clear headed.

    It's gonna be a good day, tater.
  • Man, I have been LAZY over the past week and a half - barely any exercise, and not logging my meals.

    For the rest of this week:
    I will do at least 30 minutes of exercise each day (not including my 1 miles walk to and from work)
    I will log my meals and try and stick to my food plan.

    I've decided not to weigh myself until the 21st of February - I haven't been doing well, and my recent loss was due to panicking - I didn't want to gain again, so I didn't eat much over the weekend. Stupid, I know.

    I don't want to slip into old bad habits, so I'm taking the focus off from the number of the scale and more to the forming of good behaviours. Worrying about Monday's weigh in made me veer a little too close to relapsing into old disorders :(

    Woohoo I'm into my old size 12 trousers!! (US size 8 I think!) So happy, I haven't been a size 12 for at least 4-5 years. Am aiming to be a size 10 (US size 6), which isn't too far away now :smile:

    Hey all! I feel (and probably smell) like death. I got the same sickness my boyfriend had but about 10 times worse. Started Tuesday night and puked every half hour or so til wednesday morning, then off and on all day. I'm just now starting to keep down water.

    I lost 7lbs in about 24hrs, but I do not recommend this method of weightloss! Haha

    Oh Rach, I hope you feel better. Your post reminded me of the Devil Wears Prada: "I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight."

    Did this list get smaller from the beginning of January or am I imagining things?

    Yea it happens every time I start something like this. Tons of enthusiasm in the beginning and a bunch drop off over the first couple weeks. It's okay though...we're normally left with a really great group that continue to motivate and push each other. :flowerforyou:

    Where is everyone??

    Still feeling like crap. I've eaten maybe 4 crackers and half a grilled cheese sandwich in the last 2 days, but I'm back at work. Already freaking out about how I'm gonna pay my bills next week, having already missed 2 days of work. :ohwell:

    Woo. Good week. :)
  • aargh tomorrow's going to be bad.... I've been really good with exercising daily, but I've been eating too much crap. We've been struggling with money the past two weeks so have been living off cheap, processed frozen food. Fresh start tomorrow!

    Good Monday morning everyone! I weighed in exactly the same this week (211.2) despite all my exercise and eating right. I've lost something like 8 pounds in the past month-ish, so I guess I can't complain. (I'm TOTALLY complaining though)
