Whew! I was too busy to log in yesterday either! Still toying around although my eating has been great. 2 lbs to go!!!! It was 20 degrees yesterday so I spent all day in the yard, doing the same today! My rules for myself are as follows: 30-60 minutes exercise per day Induction menu, under 20g net carbs, over 100g protein,…

Has anyone tried "crack slaw"? (google it) I was so good even hubby loved it! I like the idea of tons of veg even if it puts you a little over on carbs. I just ate an entire cucumber for lunch, how could that be bad? Grandma's cucumber salad (done keto): 1 cucumber, sliced very thin (shaved if you can) 1 dropper liquid…

These sound really good. I am avoiding the nuts for now because I can't control myself, but I did buy an organic dark chocolate almond butter and mixed in a ton of coconut oil, and even though it's a tiny "cheat" it is my go-to if I feel like I am gonna lose it without some chocolate (am I right ladies?) :devil:

That's funny I am also finding I wake up much earlier now!

UP this morning by two pounds to 138.6. Feeling poofy, ate a fair amount of cheese and salt yesterday. Also felt really nauseated so I drank baking soda and water. We all know this is a game of water weight at this point (game of thrones? Lol) and truthfully 138 feels more accurate in terms of how my body looks, so this is…

I feel fantastic. Like I have twice the energy I used to have. I don't know where my diet is going to settle at the end of all this, but I do know I don't want to go back to how I felt before. I really was depressed and had no energy. So I am going to have to be very cautious about how I add back foods in, and find out…

You can do it! Sometimes you just need a mental rest, like a day of eating whatever and resting, to feel like you get it out of your system? Glad you are still here!!!

Down another pound! I hit my goal measurements this morning. Like my GOAL measurements!!! That I have had for years! My waist is 29.75 inches! 137.4 pounds. You know when people say the weight is just " falling off"? Still consider myself a 17dd person rather than an atkins person though. I just needed to do the extreme to…

Hey Chrissy! It's not a very active group lol but come join us! I always stalled out a little here and there on C1. Keep going! The weightloss will come again!

Down to 138.6 this morning. That hasn't even really registered with me mentally, I feel like I just was adjusting to 139! One thing this way of eating is teaching me, is how "unclean" some of the sauces and dressings I was using are. Like I can't eat tonight's dinner pf pulled pork and coleslaw, even though we use lowfat…

No much to say except that I have blown through 139. Gotta get in a good workout tonight. Net carbs are coming in under 20g. My rules for myself are as follows: 30-60 minutes exercise per day Induction menu, under 20g net carbs, over 100g protein, 1350 cals gross MFP goal. (gonna stop logging exercise for awhile) Highest…

Since I just break all the rules, this last 17 has become an Atkins induction. I consider Atkins extreme, but I have been trying to get these last few off for years, so extreme is necessary. I am doing Atkins "clean" though, not bacon and cheese, no artificial sweeteners, no weird processed sauces. My rules for myself are…

I cut most dairy yesterday and started Atkins induction. 139.2 this morning! It was actually not to difficult, not that different from how I was already eating, I just watched my sauces and dairy. CYCLE 1 (2nd time) My rules for myself are as follows: 30-60 minutes exercise per day C1 menu, under 75g net carbs, over 100g…

One of those frustrating mornings because the scale flickered on 139 and then settled on 140.0. Switching to lower carb (net 20-30g) to get over this hump. I am so carb sensitive. Also toying with the idea of quitting dairy for a few weeks as a cleanse. I don't feel like I digest it poorly, but I had such good results from…

We will do this!!! The last 5 lbs is ridiculous! I am actually doing Atkins induction (ketosis) for a few days just to get things moving again. Getting impatient! Green smoothie: It's just a protein shake but I add green leafy veg to it. A good recipe to try is 1/2 chopped apple Big handful fresh spinach or romaine 1/2 cup…

Lol guns.... Yay to kicking out the back fat! I bet you are super muscle after that training. Did they make you do any TRX? I heard that was a navy fave..... C'mon 150s!!!!

A great story! Congrats on your success and I'm glad you've gotten to a healthy place in your life.

You're looking great! I gained a lot with my babies, and trust me, you CAN get it off!!! Just takes patience and hard work :flowerforyou:

OMG can I just comment how insanely HARD it is to lose the last 5-10 lbs? Like you have to be PER-FECT!!!! Sigh. No point in whining, just gonna git 'er done!

Up a little today, stupid fruit tart I ate. It was worth it though lol! I am not counting todays weight, it's just water! So here's the deal...I have 5.8 lbs to go. If I start today it's 5 weeks until the end of May. So all I have to do is lose 1 bleeping pound a week. So I am extending my 17 days. No more farting around.…

Sigh, tell me about it, sister! :drinker:

OK, almost there......Green smoothie still tough to choke down but.... Office party today. That's gonna be a challenge. Plus I am stressed about my job. Oh and TOM is on it's way. LOL thanks, universe. Did a great workout last night! CYCLE 1 (2nd time) My rules for myself are as follows: 30-60 minutes exercise per day C1…

So cool!!! Congrats!

Feeling Clean. This cycle I am treating it like a kind of "cleanse", which makes it easier somehow to resist the naughty foods. Back down to 141, which means the 130's are once again very close. CYCLE 1 (2nd time) My rules for myself are as follows: 30-60 minutes exercise per day C1 menu, under 125g net carbs, over 100g…

Hi Chris! Welcome :-)

Are you going to do a second round, or something else?

http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-burned-pistol-shooting-trap-a59 I love the internet! Your training sounds insane!

Still loving the morning green shake. Well, it could use some more fruit. But overall it makes me super energetic! Had a great workout yesterday, went back to JMBR and remembered how much I love it, then finished off with some pilates and yoga with my daughter. Trying to turn her into a full hippy by the time she is 16.…

Thanks for sharing!

Sigh...I love Daenerys, can't wait to see her kick some butt with her dragons. I haven't read the books, so don't tell me if she gets beheaded or something, I don't wanna know!
