Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 06:22 pm     Holy jeez, Miss Nancy - CONGRATULATIONS!!! You guys are a real inspiration. |
Nancy | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 07:15 pm     thanks its slowing down for me now--but then i'm only 12 to my goal so i don't expect to see the 2 lb losses anymore |
Earthmother | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 05:14 am     PRAISE THE GODS FOR DR. ATKINS...37 pounds of ugly fat gone and no hunger in 4 months!!! Blood tests from 3 weeks ago came in and I saw my Dr. on Friday and she took me off all medication..NO MORE INSULIN or meds to keep cholestrol under control, all tests were normal...wooooo hoooo. |
Nancy | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 05:45 am     WOW earth good for you--I could never do atkins i love my carbs too much! but that's an awesome weight loss-- |
Spygirl | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 07:29 am     Excellent, Earthmother!!!!!!!! Whooohoooo! |
Bob2112 | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 08:10 am     Last Week: 4.0 pounds lost Total Lost: 24.5 pounds Total Weeks: 12 WTG Earthmother! Nancy, great job as always! For the first time in 12 weeks I actually combined a good week of eating with a good week of exercise and thankfully it showed up on the scale. I even survived going out to dinner for my mom's birthday without over eating or eating too badly. I did have some cake back at our our house. It was good! Working most of the weekend on getting the yard in shape (and filling over 10 lawn bags) before the snow comes, didn't hurt any either. The garbage man is not going to be happy when he gets to my house tomorrow morning. Ack! I just rememebered that I get to carry all those bags out to the curb tonight!  |
Calamity | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 08:15 am     This isn't really a diet question but I didn't want to interrupt the Exercise Log so I'm posting in this thread...does anyone here use exercise videos? |
Schoolmarm | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 09:28 am     OK, I'm officially joining this thread (again) Between the dissertation, teaching an overload and the yummy buffets at my conference at VEGAS last week.....well, let's just say that I've never weighed so much in my life. I'm going to watch portion size this week and stop eating chocolate (after I finish the rest of the Halloween candy). I walked ALOT in Vegas and thought that my weight would maintain, but I gained 5 pounds there. ACKKK I've done Atkins before with much success (diabetes in the family...I don't process carbs very well) and I'm wondering about Weight Watchers. Any advice? |
Nancy | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 09:33 am     calamity i've done the leslie sassone walk away the pounds tapes--tho to be honest i like the gym better School--start one day at a time..and GET RID OF THE CHOCOLATE NOW!! really the good thing with weigh watchers and you don't have to eliminate any foods just portion control them |
Zachsmom | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 09:58 am     Nancy...I love weight watchers!! I don't have a weight problem..but I love the recipes and the good eating habits they have.You can make one meal and have portions for yourself (or whoever is dieting) and still feed the rest of your family.. |
Kstme | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 10:38 am     No weight loss this week...gained back 3...grrr! Kudos Earth! WOW! GREAT job Bob! Calamity...I've worked out to them ALL!LOL I like a couple of Leslis Sassone's tapes. I really and I mean REALLY like (hiding under the chair to avoid being hit) Richard Simmons. I have about 6 of his Oldies but Goodies and they're good workouts. I haven't been able to use my tapes for the last 6 or 7 years so these are the old ones. Anything that gets you moving is good! |
Calamity | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 11:35 am     Hi Nancy & Kstme: yea! I'm glad there's other video fans here. I hike but am not number-oriented enough to keep track of how far each time. With me it's more like..."I saw a family of groundhogs, and then I followed a butterfly, ended up at a creek and crossed over on a log, went into the woods, etc." I am definately not a type-A personality . My favorite video series are classic Firm, the Method, Buff Girl, and probably Yoga Journal. But I've got so many, it's embarrassing. I've never done either Leslie or R. Simmons's tapes but have seen good comments for both of them in Collage Video catalog. |
Nancy | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 05:13 pm     yikes bob you almost earned another star in just one week i'm not feeling well today(tummy yucky) so i don't know what my official weigh-in tomorrow will be but as of today i haven't lost a blessed thing since last weigh-in-- boohooo i've been really good as always too |
Tess | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 05:50 pm     ok, I'm dragging my sorry behind (and the rest of me) in here. <sigh> I can't possibly get rid of carbs either but I guess I can stop eating Halloween candy. I've been successful in staying off the steroids for my lungs for awhile now, so this is a good time to try and get rid of some of the weight they pack on. I want to get back to at least where I was when I got married 10 years ago. Not telling how much I have to lose to get there.....yet. Great job, Bob!! Nancy, I hope you feel better soon, hon. |
Tabbyking | Monday, November 11, 2002 - 07:32 pm     can we just join in here? what a great support group!! i need to lose 45 pounds. i was walking and going to the gym every day, and then i developed a DVT (blood clot) and had to be quite inactive for several weeks and am on medication for who knows how many more months. unfortunately, a lot of the green leafies and other veggies aren't good for me right now because they have vitamin K which tries to negate the coumadin! but i have been good and lost 5 pounds in the 3 weeks since i have started treadmilling and exercising again. when i first started the heparin shots and coumadin, i was like 'great!!' nausea and no appetite. i had to force myself to eat! yeah, well, that side effect only lasted for about 10 days, and then i wanted to eat everything that wasn't nailed down! |
Nancy | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 06:27 pm     hi tess welcome back and welcome tabbyking as well.. I lost another 1.2 lbs for a total of 48.4 in 33 weeks 1.6 til i hit 50 lbs go and then i have 10 left--woohoo |
Spygirl | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 06:57 pm     Reporting in today...37 pounds gone forever! Today's weigh was a significant milestone because I dropped below a number I've been trying to get under for a while |
Nancy | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 07:18 pm     wow spy i think that's another star for you!! how much further do you need to go? you must look and feel awesome
  |
Nancy | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 07:18 pm     you're gaining on me fast--yikes |
Spygirl | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 07:35 pm     Thanks, Nancy! I have a lot more to go until I'm at my target weight. And my target weight isn't something I've ever seen in my lifetime, so I'm excited about it You are gonna make your target weight a long time before I ever will, even though I will "gain" on your loss soon -- LOL. That is confusing, isn't it? |
Nancy | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 07:52 pm     UMM I know i haven't even seen my current weight in prob 8 years and i don't remember when i was last at my goal weight--but it's got to be at least not since i was in my early 30's (i'm 44 now) |
Spygirl | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 08:16 pm     You haven't seen yours in about 8 years...I haven't seen mine since I was about 8 -- and that was to wave goodbye at it |
Tashakinz | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 12:28 pm     (Longtime lurker poking out her head) For those Atkins folk out there: I love this lifestyle change. I've lost 60 lbs. since the beginning of January. I'm now wearing sizes that I NEVER wore. For someone who used to live their life going from pasta dish to pasta dish... = ) If you haven't found them yet - I found the perfect Atkins-friendly chocolate bar. They're made by Carbolite with Splenda sugar substitute. They are 1/4 carb per chocolate square. I found them at Meijer. Also, if you haven't tried the ice cream recipe from the Atkins cookbook, you are denying yourself the equivalent of Ben & Jerry's!!! We made chocolate base ice cream with banana flavoring last week and it was to die for. Best of luck to all of you. |
