Sabrina-For the last two months I have used L'oreal Nutrifit Firming lotion. Since I have also been excersizing and losing weight I cant for certain say it is all lotion, but I am seeing improvements in the inner thigh and tricep jiggles. I've read articles about lotions with caffeine also being effective but dont know of any products.

Good Luck
Amy

Amy

Amy, do you speak any spanish? I posted the directions in Spanish. Here is the link:

If you need translation let me know, ok.

I did a refeed last saturday 2 meals.

I have to say that I did not have any second effects. But I think I ate too much, and I wasn't hungry yesterday.
Today I'm back on strict induction, and hope to see some changes this week.

Jas, what book are you reading?

hope you had a great weekend.

Becky,
I'm reading "The Amazing Adventures of Kavelier and Clay" by M. Chabon. It's a very good book, won the pulitzer prize.
Day two of strict induction starts today. OIK, I have a headache!

Hi Jas,
Thank you for your information. I will try to get the book in Spanish ASAP. I have seen very good reviews on it.

Take care.

Hummm? Where is everybody???

I have to announce that Judi, will take time off from LCing. She needs to have some check ups from her doctor. I wish her the best. Hope she comes back.

I have made two polls in the ATKINS DIET Sub-Forum: Please be so kind to answer them. Your vote and information is vary important for many of us!

Thank you

Hi all - I don't know where everyone else went, but I had to go down to southern NM for a few days. Whew it is still hot down there!!!

Slipped a little yesterday (TOM pain) so I caved and "treated" myself to a diet cherry coke and a kitkat. Caffiene and chocolate ARGH!!!! Addictions are hard to kick but unlike before LC WOE I would have kept going until I consumed mass quantities. Today I have been the model of induction. Baby steps.

I got good feedback from the people I was with this week. They hadn't seen me since I started LCing. I can't see a huge difference even though I'm wearing 2 sizes smaller, but seeing their reaction was great. Just the motivation I needed.

Check in with you all tomorrow.
Amy

Oh-Becky thanks for the website info. I understand enough Spanish to know I don't know Spanish very well. dont worry about reposting it-I'm considering it a challenge to figure out

Hey, getting myself back into Induction AND ketosis after the big wedding week!
Finally hit ketosis (tiny ketosis) this morning according to stix!
Weight is finally settling down, looks like I gained a few but 31X30 levis are actually fitting today with no pinching! So, there you go. I also found the BEST soy milk made with sucralose (ie: splenda) it has 4 grams of carbs but 3 grams of that are fiber!!!!! I am sooooo happy, I hate, hate, hate cream but really wanted just something to make my morning decaf tea a little more pleasant.
glad to give up the cream!
hang in there!
Jasmine

So nice to hear from you guys!!!!

I can tell you that I can'twait to see my tomorrow stats, and all of yours!!!!

Ps: Thanks domus for answering and voting in my polls!!!

Hey! I voted too, OK, it wasn't very helpful, but I DID vote! (smile)
Until manana, Becky, the tape measure is ready!
