I am looking for a buddy with ~100lbs to lose
Hi! I have finally reached the point to were a buddy would be great. I started Atkins on April 1, 2002 and have lost almost 15lbs so far. I would love to have a buddy who also has a lot to lose too since it looks like I will be in Induction for a while.
I usually visit during my lunch time during the week (at my office) Thanks! :wave: |
HI,
This is my second time around and I also would like to have a buddy. We both have similar goals. I am currently at 255 and ultimately would like to get down to the 150 - 160 range. I know that it is going to be a long time in coming, but I am in for the long haul. When is your lunch time, my schedule at work is pretty flexible so we could chat it up then. Looking forward to hearing from you. Denaria |
Having an online buddy sounds fun. I have about the same goals and I also started April 1st too. Also plan to do induction for several months. Msg me if you're interested! :wave:

Denaria and DarkLotus:
Great to have you both as a support buddy! I have been busy at work the last couple of days and haven't been able to spend as much time on forum. How do you PM? I tried, but was rejected. Just wondering? I am having a grilled chicken filet with mayo today for lunch and I had a ham and cheese omlete for breakfast. Tonight, I don't yet know. What are your typical menus? I am really trying to see that a pound a week is probably reaslistic for my weight. I am trying to walk more too. Talk later! |
I haven't yet tried the pm's, but I am sure they work. Let's see to view everything I eat, my exercise log, and my weight loss progression, you can go to: http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/Public...Owner=DarkLotus <--- hope that works :p
BTW, A pound a week is great :D I'd like to see your menu too, perhaps it's an early observation, but it sounds like you may not be eating enough??? Talk to you soon :wave: |

Stop by my journal to check out my latest post. :daze:
I can start PMing soon, I just need a couple of more posts to qualify. I will try to keep track of food better next week. I am using fitday.com to track also. I will start tracking kcal also. I usually stop by around 12:00 - 2:00PM EST during my lunch break during the week. Until I get a home computer I am limited to the amount of time that I can spend on here. (BTW I saw an awsome computer on QVC that I want to get... :idea: ) Talk soon and keep up the LC way of life! :wave: |
Hi,
I haven't started a journal yet, but I keep telling myself that I will when I get home from work. Then I get home and it seems that there are always a million things that I have to get done before I can sit down and spend on time on here. I guess that is what happens when you live with two men. For breakfast I usually have a ham/cheese/mushroom/bell pepper/onion (just a little bit) omelet and 4 pieces of bacon from the cafeteria here at work. Lunch is one of those that I do on the fly and dinner is cooked by DH. He usually fixes beef/chicken or fish and either/and a salad and steammed vegies. He is an awesome cook. So we made a deal, he cooks and I keep the fiances. Sounds fair to me :lol: I am trying to get back in the grove of going to the gym in the evening. I like walking on the treadmill and doing weights. I will try to get a journal going so we can watch each other's progress and help each other. I am in training for the next three days but will check in during my breaks. Have a great LC day D |

OK, here is my public profile on fitday. I will try to keep up on the entries. I am in the middle of updating it now so this is a short entry for now! Keep in touch, and I need to come up with a signature. :) |
Congrats on your loss (wooot!) and good job keeping track of everything on fitday ;) I'm wondering if you are getting enough calories in though. For your bodyweight according to everything I have read and done so far, you should be up around 2570 calories (10-12 X body weight I think it is). But I'm a newbie so correct me if I'm wrong :p I can't get as many calories as I need in either, but maybe you'd lose even more if you upped your caloric intake, just a thought.

Good Afternoon
Just finished reading your posts. I haven't yet been able to take a look at your fitness record but will as soon as I finish off my class this afternoon. I wanted to let you know about a boook that I am currently reading: The Secret to Low Carb Success by Laura Richard, it is a great book and has been able to answer many of my questions. If it hasn't I start nosing about here. Have a great day. D |
LC on allrecipes, same author?
It that the same Laura who posts recipes on allrecipes.com?
I have looked for her cookbook out, but can't find it yet. LMK if it is, maybe I need to get it from the internet stores. Have a good day the LC way! 2OnAtkins :wave: |

Hi,
I am so happy it is Friday. Work has kept me so busy that I haven't been eating properly. I have been staying on the LCWOL but I keep forgetting to eat, so when I get home I am so hungery that I instantly start nibbling. Cheese is my favorite nibble, but my head keeps thinking about how much easier this would be if I could just grab a "traditional" snack when I realize that I haven't eaten. But I made it through! Have a wonderful weekend D Yesterday is history Tomorrow's a mystery and all we have is today . |
Is it Toooooo Late for me????
Hi!
I saw your posts and stats and I am very similiar. Can I join in too? I am redoing this Inductions (again..........) but I am so super serious this time. I have done it by myself in the past - perhaps having a buddy(ies) would be great. Please let me know if I can join with the two of you. Thanks P |
Super yaaaahhh!
Sure, join right in! I haven't had a chance to look yet, but do you have a journal. I have been busy, so no entry for me in a while, but I think that I continue to loose weight. I usually post during my lunchtime during the week.
Talk to you soon A Thin Me! :p |
Hi 20n!

Hi 20n, I also have about 100 pounds to lose and I wondered why you said you would be on induction for a while. My directions say to do it for 2 weeks and then to increase carbs by 5 grams a week until you drop out of ketosis and then decrease them just a little, for Ongoing Weight Loss... Are you using a different method? thanks!! -Misty |
