Okay I don't think I'm gonna make it........I gained the pound I lost last week. I'm trying not to stress......could be muscle..........could be water..........could be the 2 pcs. of SF candy I had on Monday too................I feel like I lost weight too. People are starting to notice too. I think I lost a inch in my waist................I'm taking my OoO and Relacore on top of all my other vitamins and supplements. I'm not gonna stress!!!

Good luck everyone this week!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs~

Miss Red, no worries. I have doubts that I'll make it either. It's been an unusually slow month for me. Just started ooo and relacore though and going on a meat/egg fast for three days, so hopefully I'll see some scale movement.

Just keep up your great work and eventually it will aaaall pay off.

Missaec, whats the meat n egg fast all about? Could it help me out too???

Well guys 12 days left, and I *think* i see a 1 pound GAIN myself!!!! URGHHHHH how can that be? Its frustrating, but im still moving along. I still take ooo, but lately nothing moving on that scale.

Funny thing is that last Monday i was 240, then i took ooo, and by Friday i was down to 235. So in 5 days NOTHING (but a possible 1 lb gain)....

Hang in there guys, miracles do happen, and hopefully the WOOSH Fairy will come upon us!!

Take care all, and thanks for the updates.

Default hey guys...

well
today, may 19 2004, marks 2 weeks for me on atkins induction. i weighed myself this morning to find out that i have gained 1 lb from the 4 lost. i cant figure out why i'm not losing. i have been mostly faithfull( well...i had 5 bran muffins this week). but thats it!!!!! but i have noticed that my clothes are fitting looser and i can even fit into some clothes i haven't worn since i was pregnant in 2002!! that is encouragement for me. even though i have not lost much, i'm gald that i lost and i will continue to stay on this program UNTIL i lose this weight. for those who are not losing DO NOT GIVE UP!!! its a battle but u have to fight. keep motivated. exercise. drink ur water(i also need to do more of that too). these things WILL help us on our journey. keep the faith. starting today im gonna increase my water uptake, exercise continually(i'll try to mix it up) and stay on my diet faithfully. thats all i can do. I WILL LOSE 10 POUNDS BY MEMORIAL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i luv u guys and i know u can do it b/c we're all LOSERS.
lol

Heeey 5lbs is nothing to complain about. I wish I could lose 5 more!! Plus after being stuck off and on for awhile... I lost weight getting around the "system" by taking l-carnitine, relacore, ooo, and doing the meat fast all at once!! The whoosh fairy might get mad at me... uh oh...
