If you start to feel weak or dizzy, add some salt to your diet, it helps. I am so used to lower carb now I switch in pretty easy. End of day 3 of attack, down 4 lbs. I am trying to do 5/5. My birthday is next Sunday so I will be eating cake. Then I will get right back to it, feeling too good to stop now! 10 lbs to my goal…

Hi Ladies! Popping in here because I am giving myself a PP day today. Did well losing that last ten lbs using 17 day diet and Dukan. Had wayyyyy too much fun over the holidays and gained it back heh heh. I have tried to get things under control with traditional macros, but get no results, so I am back to what I know works.…

PS I am probably going over to the newer group since it's more active. Join me?

Hi Rainey :-) I am with you. Starting back up. After superbowl weekend OF COURSE lol!

Hi guys! You seem like a really great group!! I work full time outside the home, I am 38 no wait almost 39 (gulp!) and have two lovely daughters 10 and 5, one is naturally slim her dad, one is naturally chubby like me :-P I was pretty much at my happy weight before Christmas, then we went on vacation and that rolled into…

Ugh I need to come back lol, just taking a few more weeks to psychologically prepare, as you know attack doesn't do well if your mind ain't ready.

Yah, the PPs are just boring, no way around it. I eat boiled eggs as snacks. and plain yogurt and plain meat.

Oh shoot I am back! Have to wait until the weekend to start attack again since I need to go shopping! Consolidation is harder than it looks. I had some bad family news so I spent the last week with my head in a cookie bag and a drink in my hand. I'm only human!!! So I gained a few back, but I will not let stress be the…

Hi! To answer your question I was over 200 lbs after having babies, and calorie counting go me down to 142 after about a year. But I could never get past that plateau without low carb!!!

Good stuff!!!

Hi guys! I went on consolidation lol. I feel like the 137-138 lbs I have achieved is where I want to be. I caught sight of myself in a mirror, and for the first time in years I thought "I don't need to lose anymore weight". It feels wonderful and freeing. There are still body issues I have, but they have to do with…

Ugh this is torture!!! Lol sorry to be negative, just getting cranky from the complete lack of carbs. Day 2-138.6 Not that excited 138 is where I have been hovering for awhile. I ate an entire bag of shrimp for dinner. Lets discuss how expensive this diet can be- It is the 9th of the month and I have already used up 3/4 of…

^^^what she said^^^^ Also, a tip from Atkins, if you are feeling dizzy or weak, it can be from lack of electrolytes, adding some salt (or "half-salt" which contains pottassium) and taking a magnesium supplement can really make you feel better. Hang in there, it passes, promise!

Hi :-) Happy Birthday! This has been really working for me, and I am very resistant to weight loss, I know it ill work for you too. Try and stick to it exactly as written, is my tip, it really works the best when you follow him exactly. You can do this!

Wow, it is day 12 of cruise and I am down two more lbs, down 7 lbs since I started, 5 to go. The 5/5 split seems to be really working for me. Just around day 5 of PP I start to get impatient with it, and that is the perfect time to add some veg in for a few days. Also, my weight perfectly plateaus during my PV days, then I…

P.S. see, pwk58, told you I was your doppelganger lol!

Hi! Just started 12 days ago, did a 5 day attack, and am now on the 5/5 cruise. I lost a lot in attack, but I was reallly poofy when I started. I agree I have to stay away from back bacon, sausages, jerky, anything with sodium, take the scale with a grain of salt (pun intended) when we eat somthing high sodium like that. I…

Hi, don't know if any of these folks are still around, but I am dredging up the thread since I am cruising now! The above post was actually very helpful for me- I am going away to Hawaii at the end of December, and I really don't want it to spell disaster. Last time I went there were Mai tai opportunities everywhere! There…

Ugh. This is one of those days that is going to be harder. It's funny, the first few days of Attack I felt fantastic - no headaches, no cravings, full of energy...basically no "keto flu". NOW it's hitting me! 1 day to go until PV day. Hello asparagus, cabbage, kale and lettuce!

Yah it's way easier just to shop every 5 days....

I know I don't do well on alternating 1/1, I prefer to not have to remember "which day" it is, so that's why I will be going with the 5/5. Congrats on your losses, everybody. I am on day 3 of Attack with 1 day to go. Down 5 lbs. 7 to go to "true weight"

Hi!

On day #2 of attack. Lost two lbs yesterday, but I have been really retaining water this week because of TOM and thanksgiving, so no surprise. I hope to be down another few lbs by the end of attack.

Howdy! I just started today. Wanna be my buddy?:smile:

Also on the fence although I'm glad it isn't taking itself so seriously. I was a big Heroes fan so this is interesting contrast.

This is so true. I wish I knew then what I know now!

Look here for TDEE http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

This is an awesome experiment. I agree I would profer the high carb diet to have been tons of grains and fruit.

:drinker:

Just popping in to say you ladies are singing my theme song!!! I just decided I can't do 1200 anymore. Sticking at more like 1400 and trying not to eat back all exercise. I am 5'6", 142, want to be 135 (pre-pregnancy weight). Been trying like forever! My body just seems to have a really strong "set point" at 142, if you…
