Thank u ladies for ur encouragement!:happy: Yes, hopefully I will b able to decrease the Crestor when more weight comes off. Guess I'll find out since I don't quite see the light at the end of the tunnel yet lol. At least now I know that isn't a train:laugh: Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Hi! Just stopping 2 say hello. I have really slacked off in logging on, but here I am. :flowerforyou: I apologize, I'm not a great motivator for others. Saw cardiologist 2day and he was super pleased with my results thus far. Still wants my cholesterol under 70 as I am diabetic w/heart disease, currently at 106 for bad…

Thank u Clare n Linda! I appreciate the cudos! Even though I have goofed off for a couple weeks - I am maintaing my loss! So happy scale is not going above:tongue: Have a great week everyone! Will check in soon:drinker:

:bigsmile:

I believe u have to educate urself on ur own health conditions. Docs r great, - but no one knows ur own body better than u. Funny thing - if u check out medical studies they find carbs r a diabetics' main problem. But rarely does a doc suggest lowering carbs. U have to find out 4 urself what works 4 u. I am definetly a low…

Hi everyone! Just wanted to say hi and say tell ya I have met my 21 loss goal plus some (22.2) so psyched! I am under 200 (198.8)!:noway: I am really tring to b faithful with my walking and keeping carbs 50 and below. I have tried so many exercise tapes, and think I can do them, try to convince myself I like them…

Diana - some good advice there - thank u. I'm on blood pressure med n crestor too. My total cholesterol went from 306 to 177, after 3 months of eating low carb, seeing my cardiologist beginning of August. I'm sure he will decrease it eventually, possibly with blood pressure meds too. I have diabetes so keeping an eye on…

Mithreesons: What a great family u have! That story cracked me up!:laugh:

Just a quick hello! Congrats Linda on ur loss!

I don't know kgs - I use pounds in US. But, yes, I weigh myself daily (I know u shouldn't but....) sometimes u hold water, especially in ur muscles when u work out. It will come back off, promise! Just continue what ur doing - ur gonna do just fine!

Hi eveyrone! Hope ur having a great week thus far.:happy: I have my blood work results and like promised I will share them with u all. I really hope they encourage someone, especially if skeptical that an Atkins diet is healthy ( it is!) Old Cholesterol (bad) New Cholesterol (bad) 226 (total 306) 105 (total 177) Old…

I was hooked on Protonix for (acid reflux for 5 years), had a really hard time weaning myself off it - had to take Tums often, while eating a "healthy diet" that included oatmeal, whole grain breads, etc. However, after starting Atkins (I do incorporate veggies by the way), I went off it cold turkey. I never even need a…

I never really liked Jillian Michaels on Biggest Loser. But, I bought her 30 day shred anyway, having heard so many people on Myfit talk about it. I kinda liked her personality more when reviewing the tape while eating my cod and brussel sprouts at lunch. Now that I actually did the first session, I'm back to not liking…

Wow Bailey that is awful - but I know exactly how u feel. I sometimes pay big time for a cheat. Guess our bodies r telling us what it really wants. Do hope u feel better as the day goes on :wink: Thanks Linda 4 the recipe idea. I have one almost every night for my "filler" and just a little sweet (to keep me going)

Thank u for ur support ladies!!!! U keep me going too!!:happy: Oh, wait! Linda - so nice to see a few pounds lost there - just noticed ur ticker. Congrats!

Hello all! Did my measurements and am 5 inches off waist and 4 off bust total. 20 pounds gone - 1 more to go for my goal on the 14th when I see doc. Have lowered carbs a bit to around 50-60. Gotta fly - eat well to be well!:glasses:

Hi! I'm Pam - been doing Atkins since March and have lost 20 pounds, and 4 inches off waist, 3 off bust, and a little off hips, etc. Seem to be flucuating from 3 pounds back n forth. I'm not a habitual exerciser and know I should be, but have basically lost the 20 without doing much exercise. Guess that has helped me stay…

Kathy - check out momsintofitness.com it's especially for post pregnancy bods. Someone had put this in one of the message boards and I found it very interesting. Of course, u have to combine a good "diet", but walking is fabulous, try holding in ur tummy, release and hold while walking. I hope this helps u!

Dis sounds great! Gonna make em and share with my daughter ( she looooves cheesecake) she's also dieting, but not low carb. These should fit her calories she counts though. Thanks again!:drinker:

Hi! Can't believe I am able to post again, it's nice to have the time. Yes Linda I'm doing well. Since Mother's Day I have lost another 2 - so total is 18 GONE! Have a goal of 21 gone by the 14th of June (when I see doc):wink: Hope everyone is having a great start to this week!

Erica - I'm hoping u have a fab week! It's only 5 days so hang in there even if it's just meal to meal. I have those days 2!:wink:

:happy: Hmm sounds yummy -probably will give em a try

Yep Linda ur right - what works for me may not work 4 someone else. I am so pleased I could up my carbs and feel so satisfied, and yet still b losing. So far in almost 50 days, I have lost 4 inches in my waist. It may b slower because of my higher carb, but it's something I can stick with 4 the long haul - which is what…

Tammy feel free to check my diary, it's open. I'm doing about 50-70 carbs. Am losing weight, so pretty happy and feel full, so probably won't go much higher. :happy:

Coy, so glad ur doing good, mentioned i hadn't seen u on here in a while. glad ur feeling better and congrats on ur loss!:happy:

Bailey I hope ur day goes better than it started - oh wait - u know u could have had to lie on the bed to struggle to get those pants on and couldn't breathe when u bent over in them ! :sad: Trying to make light of it. Thanks for the reminder about chicken salad n deviled eggs - I usually do fish, or tuna, and am getting…

Hi everyone! Haven't checked in I think since Friday! :tongue: But am happy to say I lost another inch off my waist (total 4) and another .4 (total 16.4) pounds yeah me! I have to see my diabetes doc in June, so I should be able to report a sizeable loss in 3 months time- he should be pleased I know I am. Read a few blogs,…
