Just an update
I've been hovering at 148-150 for the past week. An all time low. I swear, in a way it's kinda scary--last time I got this low it was a huge struggle keeping it--now it just seem like business as usual without any struggle--just staying the course.
If it stays to the 150, I'll be changing stats on Sunday. |

Just Gilding the Lily....
of my latest "Hitting the Low Carb Trifecta"
I had my lipid panel done & got my results today: HDL=82 LDL=80 Tri=37 Total=169 Chol/HDL ratio 2.1 I printed off my average food intake log for the past year for my doc. He was speechless of course--particularly comparing my numbers with my 64% fat intake. I absolutely floated out of the doctor's office this morning. Take that the big 5-0. Yeah, I'm rockn' it today. This is like a belated BD gift. Yeah me! Progress not perfection. Lisa |

Best part!! Lisa, as an unqualified Atkins success story, what is your take (if any) on the new Atkins book? I have never followed Atkins, but am thinking of switching over, since what I am doing is not working anymore. |

Nelson-- Actually, I like it a lot (just wish they wouldn't talk about "Atkins" products--but that would be asking for too much). I think it's written very user friendly. I recommend it to my patients because it seems a "lighter" version of 1992 and 2002. Excellent place to start if you're new to Atkins. You may want to check this thread out where we were/are discussing NANY--New Atkins for a New You. http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=408916 Also, why I didn't glance at what plan you are following presently...why not to go over to the general forum and post a query regarding what's going on with you. Progress not perfection. Lisa |
Thanks for the link, Lisa. I will check it out. As for posting queries about my own problems--I have done a lot of that over the past 8-10 months. Trying not to just give up on weight loss entirely (I am becoming quite thick around the middle since menopause hit), but I now find that paleo low carb, which used to work beautifully for me, is now no more effective or satisfying than the worst of the low fat/high carb diets I remember from the bad old days. I truly believe that I have tried everything (high carb/low carb; high fat/low fat; high protein/low protein) EXCEPT true, "by the book," Atkins.

Nelson-- I'm going to go look at your pasts posts. Do you have a journal? Or...is there a particular thread or post that describes what's been happening to you? I hear you on the menopuasal crap. Almost one year ago to the date I started bHRT-sublingual. IT was the missing puzzel piece--almost immediately--brain fog lifted, mood improved, energy up, weight loss like a "normal" person (whatever that is), and just feeling like I always thought normal people felt like. I'll see if I can go find that thread because it was really interesting to hear about other women going thru similar stuff. I swear, "they" will have to pry it out of my stiff dead hand before I give it up. I can't ever see going back to where I was a year ago. It sucked. |

I didn't have that experience, but perhaps I needed a better dr. I started on Evamist when the hot flashes really kicked in, and it worked like a charm on the flashes, but I gained 5 lbs and began to itch all over my body. I blamed the hrt for both problems and dropped it, but the weight didn't come off and the itching still is not completely gone. Hot flashes are back, of course. I am leaving today for a two-week vacation, so if I ignore a post, it isn't rudeness on my part. I will be checking in again later. Thanks. |
Hitting The Low Carb Trifecta--Part Cinq
1 year and 158 days of staying true to plan.
135 pounds! Becoming a Zumba instructor! |
Hi,
This is truly inspirational to me. I'm a self confessed foodie and I can never stick to a diet for a long time. Reading your post however, has inspired me give low carb dieting another chance. Thanks, Jimmy |
I thought I would update....140#
Still true to plan. Will be having my 51 birthday in a few days. Still doing Zumba. Still feeling pretty good. I'm going to keep riding this wave for as long as possible. Progress not perfection. Lisa |
WOW! Great job.
|
Wow! 51! I am 51 and hope I look that good by 52!
I was wondering if this low carb thing (for people as old as I am) is like the bright red mid life sports car-- but the cheap version. I'd rather have a new (healthy) body than a red sports car. I am looking forward to wearing a slim black dress and being propositioned by a 30 year old man. |
