Not only did my loss from yesterday stick, but I lost an additional 1.4 lbs today!!!! I somehow feel my super stall is about to end. And to encourage myself, I have set a 3 lb goal to reach. I think, if my body sees fit, that I can lose an additional 1.6 lbs before the end of this game.

I am back to my lowest low recorded weight, which I previously reached on July 22nd. But I have been hovering up and down the 216 lb mark for well over 2 months now. I will ONLY feel I have broken from that seesaw if I can go beyond this weight by a couple lbs and KEEP it there for a couple weeks. It is time. My body must start responding!

HIMI - Happy days for you, too! You are still losing well and it is sticking! Congrats!!!!

JODI - aren't you a little whooshing machine! You respond so well to your diet! (jealousy!)

CRICKET - Being as you an Jodi have mirrored each other, I am hoping YOU can see a whoosh today! You seem to do so in a big way! Since you were feeling so puffy, maybe that overload of fluid will decide to flush today and reveal your true weight. I haven't worn my ring for a month now, as it is too big and is falling off my finger. So I can't guage my bloaty days with that. But my FEET will always tell me! Right now they are normal and unpuffed! May they STAY that way!!!

I am once again very busy with work today but I will make an effort to take a break and stop back here to comment and see what our goals and expectations are for this new game. I have leftover beef roast to eat, and there is some hamburger left in the fridge, so I must make a patty for lunch. Today is another beef day, and I will be happy to change that up tomorrow. I am thinking fish tomorrow. I haven't had fish in a while. I even have some pork rinds to "bread" them with. Crunchy Baked Cod with tartar sauce sounds so good, I wish I could make it today...and knowing me, I prolly won't even want it tomorrow! Oh well, keep on rolling.

You all have a great week and I hope we all see a nice loss today!!!!!!!

P.S. I bought some new MIO that is APPLE flavored! It is a nice change of pace and really tastes like apple juice! A good thing to swallow my morning pills with.

HI PAULETTE GREAT GOING and I know how dedicated you are and how far you have come i dealing with these stalls. GREAT on lowest again and soon there will be new ones
It is a good thing to have lots of work .. maybe this time they will actually send in the checks on time!!!
What I have seen with MY body is that there is no GRACE at all IF I vary and go off in the least from induction I suffer the consequences and THAT is scary. I had done maintenance before and ate bits of this and that as I had tried now..BUT it has not worked now , and the gains are out of proportion to the foods eaten and amounts etc. Although the anniversary is this week there will be NO OFF ANYTHINGS. All I can say is that I dropped one pound and that I will celebrate.. although I was disappointed it was not more considering the huge flux. My ring is still not where it usually fits so I will look for DAILY LOSSES ALL WEEK. I WILL WORK HARD TO LOSE DAILY for as long as possible, and then the flux will be fat replacement. I WILL WORK HARD at getting back into ketoisis and figure out why I went out Today is DOC day and I am nervous and looking forward to a positive end. I hope he has a good porgnosis. It has cost me $150 these 3 weeks just for consults and MRI and that is a huge amount of $.

SO, now..Jodi piks up the 2 new mares being retired here. They are not THAT old but owner is ill with Lyme's and can no longer ride. She did offer to have Jodi use them and for me to ride as well!! One mare was used to toss 3-4 yr olds on!!! just right for me Maybe I can resume riding without grief once I am healed and she has gained weight. They were not cared for by the other place at all and Jodi was told they were in rough shape..can mean anything. SO.. that is Saturday.

Hope this is a great game for everyone!!!

WOW... PAULETTE.. chck this out. It is crazy and if correct it is why I have gained like a freight train.
For anyone that does not use KETOCALCULATOR... check it out and or update as you go along.
I updated the data. new weight 149.0..ht is still 5'2 etc. activivity is lowest now. shows my BMR is 1156 and to maintain I would eat 1272 cals. the breakdawn is:
I should be eating 681 Kcal ( maybe why I am not upset at these low cals usually) 20 nc and we know I discount that to TC anyway..58.3g Pro = 34% and fats at 41g for 54%

SO.. my old stats were wayyyyyy off.Weight was 135 last time I adjusted this and I was very active. Now it is sedentary at best and will be less soon for a bit. SLUGSVILLE here.
Looks like I have to sepnd the afternoon in fitday and find the menus I can have!! <y calories had been quite high..double these!!!
SO, I do feel better with a road map written in English that I can understand!!!

I wonder hpow mauch of this I can get done!!!I haveto have the reports etc in my hot little hands as well as having them faxed to the office... they take no chances!

Paulette whoo hoo!! I'm so excited you're finally seeing the losses you deserve! Hope your work is going well.

Cricket so happy to see you're dropping it like it's hot too!! Hope you're relaxing with your AC and getting some relief from that pesky headache!

Himi hopefully your ride in the mable mobile will be short and sweet!

Barb & Jodi I hope you both show losses today!

I really hate having these 3 days off! I'm seriously the queen of Slugsville these days. I used to love the see saw but at this point i'd love a ride in the mable mobile. I'm all crampy and bloaty today in preparation for TOM so hopefully i'll be able to stay in the 130's through this monthly nightmare! We shall see! Either way I know it will only be temporary... so it the monotony of maintenance I guess! I kinda miss having a "goal" to work towards but I love putting on those size 6's so I guess it's a fair trade-off! Sorry for the pms whining lol

I posted JODI late so it will only appear on this THURSDAY chart and not on WED. I am too lazy to do 2 of them

KATHY>> you rock those 6's! Mine are too tight to be comfy .. for me it is getting into that 4-slacks I wore twice!

I just had more steak and pickle.Sodium intense day, not bad on cals though but low on fat..balance is wrong. It took me 7 calls to get a room for the night before surgery. This was a really high stress day.. and then to get the appointment to my primary to do all those surgical clearances to have in my hand on mond/tues of this week coming!! Head is splitting and never did get to relax at all. Tomorrow morning early I will get my fasting labs and PRAY they can do some of the other tests for me.. and if i AM SUPER lucky I can wait to see my doc.If not I have to be back at 2pm.. it is 30 miles rt each time. UGH. ALSO please pray that there is NO RAIN when we have to be driving to GA. That is where the surgeon and facilities are. about 3.5-4 hrs from here. FOLKS... I can not promise how ON plan I will be Wed. evening. Carl will be with me to eat out or take in. I have a feeling what the meal will be. Since there is no way I will be eating the next day or eveing, I will not worry. NOT happy at all and I guess resigned is closest. Hope tomorrow's weigh in is not a gain from the sodium at least.
Good night

Sorry for the late post. I left for work an hour and a half earlier than usual this morning. Then unexpectently went out of town immediately after work and just got home at 10:30.

Up 0.6 today but it was an early weigh in. I'm on the other end of the see saw with Kathy.

Since it's late, I'll catch up with everyone tomorrow. However, it looks like everyone is starting out this game with some good losses. Congratulations, PAULETTE, on your great losses the last couple of days. Your commitment paid off!

CRICKET: So glad you have your plans set for your surgery and some relief from your pain. The expenses are a killer! And, they haven't even touched you yet!

We have learned and keep learning how our bodies adjust to the ever changing dynamics of life. We follow the Philosophies set forth by DR ATKINS in DANDR..1972 or 1992 versions.

It does not get easier as we get to goal and we accept that we will keep trying and not give in to old habits. We move forward, even if we take steps backward, we strive for success.

My loss from yesterday did not stick. I am up 1.2 lbs today. But that STILL leaves a .2 loss to salvage from yesterday, so it is not as depressing.

Oh, I am so busy again and I have no real time to post! I will make a strong effort to get back on this site later to comment and such, but for now I have to start working. Have a great day all and I hope we all have losses!

Hi Paulette and you DID keep a loss So good on that Better to be busy and waiting for payments than not busy and no income!!! Post whenever

Sat in MD office for 4 hours to see the doc. Did have my labs done, got results, did get chest x-ray and will pick up report on Monday along with the EKG and medical clearence etc.
He did clear me and we both thought I should go back on low dose bp meds and see what happens. I do have a new reading on the ekg and although no big deal, it is a something. I WAS STARVING by 3:30pm when I got out of his office.FASTING since last night... went to Publix for my meds and grabbed an Atkins bar box. Yes I did. I wanted the sushi! So I had 2 bars and will pay the price of SA indulgence. I also had this insane urge for veggies for dinner so that is what I had. double portion of mixed cauliflower and broccoli..did not eat the carrots.. do not like them.. I added butter and soy sauce.I am stuffed completely. Now trying to drink enough to counteract some of this. Not taking any meds tonight and that includes the HCTZ. I kept the early weight.It was lower at the office but I forgot the exact number and that was dressed.Oh well.WIll hope I am OK. All I wanted to do was to change the intake and that I did.Such a crazy day for me. I'm pooped out, so if one of you would please change the chart tonight after the last weigh in, I would appreciate that. It is not hard.Just change the date line on top and remove the stars G'nite xo
