HI! I have been on Atkins for 7 months and my story has been a rollercoster but a kiddie one! I began at 127 lbs. and want to get to 112 lbs. I am at 120/119 lbs.(not sure, crappy scale). I have rarely broken the diet, I am the best in my family (we all went on it except my 3 year old son). My hubby has lost 32 lbs.
and he's looking GOOD!
I know my weight loss will be slower because I only want to loose 15 lbs. but I am an
almost and need some quick advice. I have not been turning the sticks purple or even pink for months. I feel like I have stopped loosing and gained two lbs. a few months back since I was 118 lbs.
Please tell me if the following things are killing my efforts:
1. I eat 3-4 sticks of sugarless trident gum a day.
2. I have a paper-plate-full of whipped cream (mix white & chocolate flavors) as dessert at night. The spray(?) bottle says no carbs or <1 carb.
3. I have 3 sodas, now diet RC -before diet coke, per day.
4. I will have 2 cups worth of watermelon pieces now and then.
And besides this all I eat is red meat, chicken, lettuce, avocados, salad dressing (full fat), hot dogs, ceasar salads, cheese (no carb or low carb) and pork skins.
Any opinions on the 4 above items would be appreciated. I want to loose at least 5 lbs. by August 30....going on a caribean cruise!
PLEASE, some opinions from the experts would help me. I do walk 3 miles 3 times a week and my carb count varies from 15-30 carbs./day.
all whipped-creamed out,
VV
