Thanks for the pick me up this morning and putting things in perspective just when I was starting to feel sorry for myself!!

Thats great news, must feel really good!

WOW!! Way to go!

Your pics amaze me and give me hope!! What an awesome accomplishment

Way to go, that is awesome!

OMG, talk about hijacking a thread!! The OP was merely asking for support in a lifestyle she enjoys not everyone's opinions about the good or bad!! Did anyone notice that the OP hasn't even posted in her own thread because everyone got on their bandwagon and took over her thread with nonsense!! I'm sorry, totally…

For all of us who don't know what burpees are i googled it! I think it's gonna hurt! lol Here it is..... The burpee is a full body exercise used in strength training and as aerobic exercise. It is performed in five steps: Begin in a standing position. Drop into a squat position with your hands on the ground. Kick your feet…

Hey all you sexy people!! I did really good on water but only got crunches in a few days! my bad! I did lose 1lb this week tho! We were away all weekend and I there was soooo much good food that I had to sample a bit so I gained lb by the time we got home, but managed to lose it plus another one! This is a huge victory for…

So far so good! I haven't been able to do 50 at once yet so I break them into two. first part done already today! Water is never an issue - usually anywhere from 12 - 15 cups a day!

Down a lb and doin crunches!

Here's my 2 cents! My mil eats only around 700 cals a day, yes she has lost a ton of weight, BUT...about 3 years ago she hurt her back at work and is still off on disability because it won't heal (she's been through intensive physio, tried almost everything), I am convinced that her back is not getting better because she…

Search the forums at atkins.com, there are lots of recipes and ideas on there.

Have you tried the MIM's (muffin in a minute)? They are aweseome. Basically you make them in a coffee cup or you can make them in a sandwich container so they are shaped right, Muffin in a Minute (MIM) 1/4 cup flax meal (8.09 total carbs, 7.6 fiber) 1/2 tsp. baking powder (0.64 net carbs) 1 pack splenda (0.9 carbs) 1 tsp.…

K, this is going to sounds really dumb, but is there a way to join a thread so it's easy to find every day? Thanks, Trish

Seems like alot of us would like to drop a bunch of weight by Christmas - maybe we should start some sort of challenge?

I realize everyone is terribly busy, but really cooking from scratch is the best way to go! Spend one day making whole wheat pasta, perogies, and bread! It saves a ton of money and is much healthier. Also if you can find a farmer in your area farm fresh eggs and usually cheaper than the store and I tend to thing better for…

Yep, watching them too. Going back into induction on Atkins and then slowly going to work carbs back in. It is the only thing that has worked for me. I am the person that can gain 10lbs in one week and not have them come back off, but with watching carbs the lbs come off, I feel better, i'm not hungry all the time and I…

I try to find reasons to get up from the table during the meal - pour water for kids, get napkins, etc. The longer it takes you to consume your meal the fuller you will feel and you end up eating less! I also try to make it a rule to only fill my plate once (my smaller dinner plate!) Lots of great ideas on here, thanks…

happens to me everytime! It is nothing for the scale to go up even 10lbs in a week for me. Sadly, does not always come right back off which then starts the downward spiral. If this happens don't give up just keep on keeping on and we'll all be here to support you. Hopefully it's just sodium and will be back off right away.…

Thank you so much for creating this topic. I'm restarting and this is gonna be my go to thread for motivation, everyone looks so amazing!! I can't wait until I can post pics on here too!

I`m restarting too and need to make sure I track my food/exercise everyday and post on here!

Hey, lets try together! I am in the same boat, I lost some of my weight I need to before we went vegas in feb now I have gained it all back plus more. I need to stay on track and be accountable for what im putting in my mouth! Trish

Ok, i'm in. Friend request sent!

I'm new to here too and looking for friends. Feel free to add me! I have 40lbs to go!
