    Hi Everyone, Yeah the motivation is kinda low, the weather is freezing. Call me wimpy, I don't run when there is ice, nope no way, But, that doesn't mean I can't put in a DVD or go for a walk, gotta do somethin. Anyway, the challenge is still on...I'm seven pounds away from 190 so, its reachable. Go Team Go----Zano

    Hellooooo....I am beginning a low carb/Atkins today. I have been on this site before and really liked it a lot, but it seems that the low carb things works better for me for whatever reason.

    Since I have posted on the Group LLC thread, will it now appear in My Topics so I can come back everyday? Also wondering if you post your food each day and just count the carbs?

    Thanks!

    Hi fellow low carbers! I have lost over 135+ lbs doing ketogenic low carb since October 2009. I am in the homestretch and trying to drop 20 more pounds and go from there.

    Please feel free to add me to your friend lists and ask me questions. I feel like an expert now because I have helped so many people on this site, as well as friends and family!

    Hello my fellow LLCers!!

    I'm still here. I'm not much of a talker (writer) however, I do read the posts.

    Welcome to Elfie andPragmatica!! We are glad you have joined our great group!! :flowerforyou:

    I'm down 7 lbs since we started the Valentine Day challenged :bigsmile: Yipppppeee for me!!

    Zano - congrats on your loss! I know it is a great feeling!!
    Pragmatic - look out. I'm sure I will be hitting you up for some info. I will also add you to my friends list.
    Mom216 - I understand about "bouncing." I think my scale has truly lost its mind. I wanted to throw it out the window this morning!! lol Some days it just doesn't want to cooperate!!!:laugh:

    UGGGG....Ok..I know is just the second day, but I feel pretty queasy this morning. I did eat my eggs tho, and am downing the water. Hope this passes by soon....

    Nice to know you are all out there. I sometimes feel like I am so on my own with this.

    Congrats to you too VJ! Go team, Go!

    And to Elfie. I found that if I could *just* get to day three, it got better. Day 2 is the worst. You've used up all the extra glucose you had stored from before induction...so that's when your body starts sending you the signal VERY LOUDLY, "hey! I need some carbs! Gimme!" But sometime during day 3, your body starts to do the changeover of what it is using for fuel. So stay strong!

    Elfie Hang in there!!!! The first few days are hard but after that it becomes much easier and your body will be use to not having high carbs... Make sure your eating 6 times a day and drinking tons of water it will help your body adjust better.


    How's everyone doing??? Seems like we have lost a few people over the months ! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday

    OK....I am determined to hang on...but I have to say, this is just the WORST headache I have had in years and I feel sorta...sea sickish...ewwwwwww...still drinking the water tho. Thanks so much for the encouragement...It's almost 6pm...so not much longer for THIS day. I haven't had much to eat at all..just can't get it down. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!!!!

    Elfie,Induction can be rough, but it gets alot better. Your doing well just keep going.
    Team, The good news is that I'm on a negative spiral down, the bad news is that it feels like a snails pace. The weather here is way to icy in the morning for running, looks like its the tread mill. Little goals are the key, so for me 190 by Valentines Day would be GREAT. Have a terrific day...Zano

    Helloooo All....AHHHHH...so much better today. You were all right,,,and I so appreciate the encouragement. It really helps! I slept ALMOST 12 HOURS last night, wow....that's huge for me. Felt much better this morning and was starving. Ate some scrambled eggs and hoping for a much better day than yesterday. (Can't really be worse). Seriously, have NEVER had a headache of that sort. Sorta scared me. Anyway...forging ahead and glad I stayed with it. Really do appreciate all your comments.

    Just thought I would share this that I sent to another post....

    AWWWW...Megan...what a bad begginning. I totally sypmathize...here's my day so far...

    Snowed another 3 inches, get out the shovel and clear driveway. Still could not get out had to beg sleazy neighbor for help. Ug.
    Carefully drive up huge snow covered road to feed ungrateful snotty horse. Spilled coffee on the way.
    Greeted by ungragteful snotty horse who decided to stroll out of his fence and was way up the driveway goofing around.
    Gratefully, such he is such a food *kitten*, recapture was not an issue.
    Fix fence in 10 degrees...swear loudly...resist urge to beat Mr. Snotty Britches (not really...well..umm...the thought was there)
    Slip n slide home again . City Street Plow had tipped over the garbage can, which was sitting outside since yesterday, being Garbage guy never did show up.
    Curse loudly and gather up smelly garbage, eyeing neighborhood dogs trying to "be friendly".
    Finally, home again. My wiener dog has eaten part of my beautiful sheep scin chair cover...arghhhhhhhhhh.
    Clean up little puffs of stuff all over and vacuum...search for Wiener Boy to have ammends for yelling...
    He is under bed and has barfed all over my duvet cover onto my down comforter.
    As you can notice, for some reason my computer is now not typing CAYS...as in ma e....or s in...AWWWWWWWWWW......

    Sigh...


    In spite of all that...still a better day than yesterday...give such hope for tomorrow!!!!:laugh:

    QUESTION? I have a gym membership which I haven't started yet. After the totally bad and creepy day on Induction - Day 2, and feeling not totally good today either...I am wondering if I should give it a week and start next Monday? Just not sure. I do sometimes just forge ahead full speed then get feeling crappy and abandon all. Not wanting to do that now. Anyone have a suggestion?

    Hello to everybody!!!!

    Hmmmm thinking about the scale and the numbers bouncing up and down - makes me wonder when the scale is doing that - what silly/comical things have you all done to the scale.....

    I have moved mine around the bathroom in an attempt to see the number I wanted...
    I have stripped down to my birthday suit - thinking my "clothes" were the problem

    I have kicked it, threw it in the corner and like you have moved it around the bathroom to find the "right" number and I always step on it wearing my birthday suit!! lol
