I could (of course) try to lose more but I like having some extra padding-just not so much. That’s been a big excuse for me over the years is that I never wanted to get too skinny. Just bangin’. <BR/><BR/>The only thing keeping me motivated this time around is the FREE access I have to a gym. Well, that and the fact the being unemployed and not needing a job for the money anymore has me trippin’. Working out reminds me and rewards me with hard work. I like that.Vakker Kvinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08539305107789224558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062845128478557756.post-42538674055523776282007-09-12T12:02:00.000-04:002007-09-12T12:02:00.000-04:00Hey,It's the HTML sounds like.

And you have to eat! Several times a day! I think that we have been so used to starving ourselves that we cannot comprehend eating as a catalyst to losing weight!<BR/><BR/>Again, these are my thoughts from experience, but if you have more than 50 lbs to lose, you should stay on Induction for the majority of your diet. I plan on staying under 20grms of carbs till the contest ends. You can add different foods, just balance them in your daily intake. For more info, get the book, or check out Jimmy Moore's La Vida Low Carb blog.<BR/><BR/>Right now, the scale is like a good looking no good man - you know you shouldn't but ya just cant help it!! ;)<BR/><BR/>One more thing - whatever diet you choose to go with remember this:<BR/><BR/>without exercise, it is all for naught! You cant eat 3 eggs, bacon, then a hamburger, salad with dressing and 3 snacks a day and not exercise. What will happen is, again with any diet, you will be adding all these calories and not burning them off. Work it girl! Sweat is good for your skin and is a great stress reliever!<BR/><BR/>So good luck to you, I know that you can do it! Just remember, at the end of every hard road traveled is a good looking rich man that will let you quit your job and live in his castle....<BR/><BR/>I mean...nah screw it, that's what I meant!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10534079617865540609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062845128478557756.post-30559761323894616022007-09-11T11:30:00.000-04:002007-09-11T11:30:00.000-04:00LOVE the Krispi Kreme comment.

When the scale wasn't moving that was the only thing keeping me motivated.<BR/><BR/>I live an Atkinish life as well. But I been cheating recently so....<BR/><BR/>;-(<BR/><BR/>Question: if u get the chance could u break your post up for me? I'm 27 but I got the eyes of an 80 year old..lol.

Losing ...First of all congrats on your weight loss! Losing weight is a hard thing to do and it seems like you are doing what you need to do in order to make your goals happen. I’m on the weight loss wagon again too-this time trying to lose 40 lbs. before next July. I’ve lost 5 lbs in about 5 weeks, but of course I want more more more! I keep skipping gym workouts and eating junk (sweets-my weakness), so at least I know that I can choose to make other choices and still lose. That hasn’t happened in a while, before it seemed like no matter what I did-it didn’t work-I just couldn’t lose weight!<BR/><BR/>I agree with you-the scale is horrible. I’ve just started using one again after a 10-year hiatus. Too much baggage comes with that little number but if I want to track my progress honestly, I guess I gotta get up there. I weight in ever Wednesday morning as soon as I get up…tomorrow is the big day.<BR/><BR/>I tried the Atkins diet a few years ago and did well the first two weeks, then after induction I couldn’t “give the weight away”. I also tried Weight Watchers and it worked for a while-but progress was slow. I just gave up after week 7 when I had “only” lost 6 lbs. Now I’m not really following a plan, it’s more like I eat as many fruits and veggies as I can, lean cuts of mean, avoid anything fried (fried foods actually give me major heartburn now), avoid gravy, and choose non-alcoholic beer 90% of the time. When we were kids, we were never allowed to have soda in the house except on special occasions, so I never developed a taste for it. I drink a low calorie fruit soda every now and again, but carbonated water usually hits the spot. I also don’t drink juice-it’s way too sweet for me (oddly enough). <BR/><BR/>Love your blog and wish you the best.
