Hey Ladies
 
I am still here too. Hey Shoshie good job :agree: That is awesome. I think I am in the same boat as Gabrielle, Tom is coming soon and it is very frusterating. The only thing that I think is good is because I am still on induction, I think I am losing at the same rate of retaining. BUT no movement down on the scale is no fun either.

I will be very happy after Tom leaves :agree:

Have a great LC Sunday and talk a walk and then relax and kick back :)

Hey daisy I checked out the high fat thing, ouch my head was spinning after reading it, I do a high fat thing already but I definat don't do all that calculations, and wow... Seems great if you can figure the whole thing out, great luck to you if you are doing it, i am sure it is a lot like the fat fast in the atkins book with more calories? and longer time span

bb6399 Mon, Nov-22-04 08:07

I really need to edit my goals, but lifes been a little hard on me this week, so I haven't had the time to worry about it yet hehe. Glad to see I've started dropping some pounds again this past couple weeks. It makes the hours in the gym seem worth it. :thup:

Daisy-Duke Tue, Nov-23-04 07:52

Good job guys!!!
 
Shoshie and Shawn,

Wowers..... Nice going. It just keeps getting better in the LC WOL :agree:

You guys rock and inspire us. Way to go!

Hey BB, Yeah it is so much calculating it's funny that way. I guess I pay more attention to what I am eating. It is more calories and since I am still the induction phase, my carb ratio is only around 2% to 3%. They can all get theirs to the 5% because they are, for the most part, out of induction and can have 40 - 60 carbs a day. MMM MMM MM won't that be fun to mix and match a little bit more :D

Talk again soon,


Daisy :wave:

shoshie Tue, Nov-23-04 10:15

thanks everyone,
Shawn thats Great! keep it up. ok everyone lets not blow it on thursday....

Daisy-Duke Tue, Nov-23-04 12:08

Agree
 
:agree: I totally agree with Shoshie. I am going to try so hard not to blow it on Thanksgiving. I have already decided I am staying in induction for at least another week. Maybe a total of 4 who knows, we'll see how things are going after TOM leaves :lol:

Daisy:wave:

shoshie Tue, Nov-23-04 12:49

daisy start a journal. they are great. I will visit with you too.

bb6399 Tue, Nov-23-04 13:15

ya the journal thing is great give it a shot! , staying on induction for more than the two weeks is what I do all the time I seem to stall after adding the carbs back, so I am almost always under 20

Daisy-Duke Wed, Nov-24-04 09:31

Shoshie and BB
 
Well then I think I will start a journal. I think I saw them if I back up a few pages. It seems like it will be pretty fun :D

Thanks for thinking of me and I now have something to start :p

Daisy :wave:

bb6399 Wed, Nov-24-04 20:18

shoshie Fri, Nov-26-04 10:06

I forgot when are we weighing in again every week or every few weeks?

Daisy-Duke Fri, Nov-26-04 13:02

Morning after!!!
 
Hello Everyone,

Well it is the morning after.... How did everyone do? I hope good and that you weren't tempted in to the awful carb loaded foods out on the table. I we all stuck to the high fat yummy's :lol: :yum:

I think I stayed under 20 which I though was pretty good for myself. It was day 15 for me and I said all along that was going to be myfirst day for a little no carb drink and ya know what, I was just to tired at the end of the night I had a wonderful mug of hot herbal sleepy time tea and Loved it. Tonight might be a different story, My DH and I are goin out with our close friends for drinks and fun. So I already know I have to be really careful because I heard it hits you a lot harder when you are LCing.

I think we all kinda had different weight in days depending on our start days. I think our next weigh in should be next week, on which ever day was the original day for you. How does that sound??? :D

Good Day, I am off to shop and take a walk,

Daisy :wave:

bb6399 Mon, Nov-29-04 14:16

I went back to the gym today, the goal there is to go atleast three days a week, I hope it helps, I get so afraid when I go to the gym that I will gain!!!!! So all I am doing is walking I walked 1.3 miles today goal is to walk 1.5, We walk at 3.5-3.7 mph, and only walk for 25 min and then a 5-10 minute cool down, I hope it will help with the weight loss I have to loose 3.8 pounds a week, wow that was some goal for myself!! not sure what I was thinking but...

shoshie Mon, Nov-29-04 14:19

that is alot to lose in a week. why so high?

bb6399 Tue, Nov-30-04 10:54

when I choose my goal to reach that was definately a reach/ goal, if I make it great, I know 3.8 pounds a wk is high but thats what I would have to loose to reach my goal, if I get close I will be very happy....
