awesome weight loss!!

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

Ok, this might sound stupid to alot of you, but we have been tight on money this
month, due to a family emergency, so, i havent been able to try and buy all the
stuff for these awesome recipes. I’ve been eating pickles, vienna sausages,
steaks, cheeseburgers, and bacon for the past two weeks! Thats it. And to
limit and portion it all out, i only eat like 2 times a day. I know alot of you
are saying that is ridiculous, and not healthy, but thats all the no carb food
that i have, and i dont want to go off of it!! So, i’m sticking it out, and
making it work. Let me tell you, NO LIE!!!!! I HAVE LOST 20LBS IN THE PAST 2
WEEKS!!!!! I couldnt believe it when i stepped on the scale this morning and it
said 200lbs. I was in shock!! I know it’s not good doing this, but I dont just
want to throw the past two weeks out the window either! So, untill we get paid,
it’s gonna be the bare minimum no carb food. LOL I”m really happy!!!

Hi ..I am giving this a chance before gastric by…

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Hi Christi
have lost 12lbs and not cheated once
I know how expensive Xenical is. I tried it about three years ago and yes I
could never be far from a bathroom. I gave it up because A the expense and B,
I didn’t feel like it was solving my problem. But I’m glad you did lose the
12 pounds. I found for me longterm it did no good.
Christie reading the book is the first step in setting down the foundation
for lasting weight loss. I never thought I could lose weight but my first time
on Atkins I lost over 25 pound the first three months! Done properly it
really does work as you’ll find by reading about people on this list. Go to a
second hand book store or a thrift store…they sometimes have copies of Dr
Atkins
Diet Revolution. Reading the book is the key to getting started.
Yes it’s a huge deal! And if that is the road you decide to take them my
prayers and best wishes are with you. But I would urge you to get the book,
read
it, and see if you feel any better once you’re into the plan….I’m betting
you will.
good luck
welcome

Hi ..I am giving this a chance before gastric bypass surgery

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Hi my name is Christi I am 38 I have diabetes a thyroid problem high
blood pressure trouble sleeping at night depression…lets see that
about covers it..I am 5′6 and started this on July first and weighed
260.I have always had a weight problem and had AWESOME weight loss
with phen/fen I looked amazing until I got pregnant with my second
child and gained 102 lbs that I could never get off (they banned
Phen/fen while I was preg.) With my third child I became diabetic and
developed hypothyroidism and problems with my skin on my hands and
ankles they keep telling me its eczema..by the way my third son
weighed 12 lbs and 1 oz. This is my highest weight ever and started
the ball rolling to have gastric bypass surgery.The dr said I have an
emotional attachment to food that I have to break before the
surgery.I went to my general Dr. who suggested I take Xenical and do
Atkins..I have lost 12lbs and not cheated once..my husband who doesnt
take the Xenical (that costs 137.50) lost 16lbs. My Dr has never read
the atkins diet because he said i can have all the diet soda I want
but NO cooked vegetables at all and I have to take my vitamins twice
a day..The Xenical is really something it only lets you absorb a
small amount of fat and the rest goes right thru..(I can never be far
from a bathroom)The dr said he has another patient that weighed 350
and did this and lost 100 in 6 mth..I dont feel like I have lost much
at all for as hard as this has been .(He said I should lose 20 in one
month) Gastric bypass is such a big deal I hope this works for
me..Thanks for listening, Christi

Garlic

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

I noticed that garlic is not on the induction list. Can I have garlic or is it
a “no-no” during phase 1?

give it another week and see if can get over this hump.. I have lost 58
pounds since Jan 12.. But, I lost the first 50 by mid June.. .. Its getting
slower,and I have 50 more pounds to go!!! I am not cheating though, eating
well,
feeling good, just stalled..

3 week stall losing that last 10 lbs.

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

Just had to vent.
I know every dieter hits a stall. I’m on my 3rd week and it’s been
really hard to stay motivated. Of course what makes it even worse is
I’m trying to lose that last 10 lbs. Atkins.com says that you should
plan on taking 2-3 months to lose that last 10 lbs. Yikes!

More Veggies?

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

I know the book says to limit your veggies to 3 cups a day… but can we
have more if we stay under 20 carbs? I mean, I bought a bag of mixed
greens and 3 cups on the greens are only 1 net carb!!!
