OK Ladies,

Here is a little update on my results after switching from Atkins to CADS.

Week 1= .28 pounds lost . CAD's says to expect a slow but steady weight loss and I am happy with this (if you look at my journal and see what I had for my reward meals you might wonder how I did not gain 5 pounds)

My plan for week 2 to is to limit the junk food and add more fruits and veggies. I am trying to move towards balance and health. I think just knowing I was allowed to eat junk food kind of made me go a little wild.


Hope all is well.

Good Morning Ladies!!!!!

Just checking in to say hi!!!! Last night I only did about 5 mins on the stair stepper which equaled to about 50 steps for me.... I picked up the dumbbells and did about 10 mins of upper arm weight training.

I didn't do a lot wasn't feeling the best.(but something is better then nothing).....I have been soooo bloated. My feet are swollen, my hands, and even looks like my face is....Really weird...I did do something stupid. Got on the scale 166!!!! But I know it's WATER,,,,I was perfect yesterday as far as eating and I drank water, maybe not enough......77 oz. So how do you gain 4lbs in a day!!!!

Take Care Ladies and have a great weekend.

20B

20b430: Yes you can gain water weight. Did you eat anything with a lot of sodium?

I am fasting today. I felt like I wanted to try it out. I've lost 5 lbs. with kiss lcing this week. I am aiming to fast for 24 hours but I hope that I can go a little longer.

Chantel--Size does not matter.You don't necessarily have to do WATP. That is the exercise that I am doing. Everybody is doing there own thing. Have you started it yet?

Yeah I have started it and I have been off and on it since about May. I work full-time, have a part-time job as well as a full-time student!!!! I know you are wondering how in the world is she so heavy. Well I wish I could blame it on having a child but I dont I jam the type that has to eat when she is sad or glad, I have come to realize this and am now working to only the meats if I do feel this way. Thank the Lord above for Mr. Atkins God Bless He Soul. Today I have only had 6 carbs and am on my first diet rite of the day. I am going to trash it before I finish it.. I have to go pick up my sister from work, but I have drank 80 oz of H2O. I'll talk with you once I get home....... I am at work....... I know shame on me. C U

Hi everyone! Have a good Saturday!

Welcome Chantel! Glad you decided to join our group.

Congrats Skinny on being down .28 pounds.

It all counts. I am glad CAD is working for you. Keep on!

Amiee, congrats on losing 5 pounds this week.

Could you tell us about KISS?

20b430, every little bit of exercise counts. At least you did something. Yup, all the signs of bloating probably because of TOM. Drink your water, it will go away. Don't worry. Remember I was up this week too. Now I am happy to be back down to 146. I need to watch my sodium from now on.

Could you guys tell me more about Walk away the Pounds? What type of workout equipment is needed? What exactly do you do? When I checked the net I found alot of Walk Away? Which one (name) is the one you use or have bought?

Saturday's Workout:
Lower Body Workout & Abs 38 minutes

Peace

Good Morning my Sistah's I am very proud of myself I woke up this morning and WATP's for 1 mile ( I can not hit the 2 miles yet like you Amiee) but I have had a great morning so far and I wanted to thank you for allowing me to join your group!!!

Way to go Amiee on that 5 pds.
How often does everyone weight them selves.. Like I said earlier I am way heavier than all of you.. But I do belong to the TDC and they are VERY supportive!! I just have to make sure I sit up my Fitday sometime today so I can have all those things on this web link and not have to go on to Atkins. Well I hope you all have a great weekend!!! I will be on here again later.

Red1cutie--Kiss is a way of low carb eatting. You only eat real meat and vegetables. No processed meat like bacon and sausage. No lunchmeats at all. No dairy. That includes cheese and cream cheese. Walk away the pounds are walking tapes created by Leslie Sansone. You may want to try and do a search under her name. It's basically walking in place.

Chantell--What is TDC? You've found us and we a very supportive too.

I survived my fast. Thank God. I fasted for 37 hours. Can you ladies believe that. No food for that long. I fasted before but not for that long. It felt like I was in control. I needed that. Fasting makes you more consicous(sp) about what you put in your body.

Hey Amiee- TDC is the triple digit club those of us who have to lose 100+ pds.
That is great with the Fast- you did good and it will bring you closer with the Lord we do that at our church but I have never done it for that long that. I was supposed to be getting off here but as you can see this place is addictive....... I enjoy talking with people
