TODAY IS FRIDAY 9/18/15
BIGGEST LOSER GAME #19 began SUNDAY 9/13 and will end with weight SUNDAY 9/20.
It is OPEN TO ANYONE THAT FOLLOWS DANDR..1972 or 1992
Positive attitudes and a sense of humor is a big help.
FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!.....NASA (and US!)
WE DO NOT FAIL BECAUSE WE KEEP TRYING, AND THAT IS BECAUSE
IT IS NOT THE HAND YOU WERE DEALT BUT THE WAY YOU PLAY THAT HAND THAT COUNTS!
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.
WE ARE THE A-TEAM!

I dropped .8 of that gain today.
I need to lose more and I only have 12 days to do so before the end of the month. As it is right now, I am up .2 for the month.
I do NOT want a gaining month, but if I can at least have a no-loss month that would be OK, I guess. I sure would love to report an actual losing month! God, I am so sick of staying stable all the time! I miss the old steady losing days.
The days of my Atkins Youth.
I only need a smidge over 14 lbs lost to FINALLY be in ONEDERLAND and I am getting so impatient to reach that point!!!!!!
Out of Cottage Cheese so I have not dabbled into that area in a couple days. Today I am making the usual stuff. No eggs here so I must eat chicken and burgers. I want to make a chili cheese burger patty today. That sounds good.
CRICKET - I UNDERSTAND your ups & downs!!!! I have been following you for a year now? Longer I think! And if anyone understands your struggles, I DO.
You have been working hard to maintain your weight in a certain range and have done a fabulous job doing so! When you plan your off meals, you know what to expect, and you know how to get back in your range. Your surgery put a monkey wrench in things and you have worked hard to inch back down.
I KNOW you will get back in your comfortable range. Now that the berry season is done, you can focus on less carb foods.
And I know I am a carbophobe.
They scare the heck out of me these days.
So I am ultra careful to count every iota in every food, even the cream, eggs and cheese. My body doesn't need them so I will continue to restrict them forever.
---------- I am happy to hear Carl has had the cancer cells removed. I sure hope there is not any more lurking! ---------- I will dig out a couple of my favorite easy and delicious recipes.
BARB - I hope you can see a little whoosh to get rid of that stoopid little .2 and enough to make you happy!
I, too, hope we can have a better month than this. And I ALWAYS hope for a better next month!
Although it hasn't been happening for me. I suppose I am losing teeny micro amounts that don't seem to register, and at least I am stable on weight for the past few months. But I am really hoping I can break through this and see more progress. I hope you can, too! I know it is possible.
KATHY - congrats on the loss! I knew you would do it quickly. I bet today you will have an even better loss!
CHRISSIE - Congrats on the 1.2 down!!!
I will be sure to post your numbers this weekend! Have fun with your friends!
HIMI - Congrats on your smaller measurements!!!!
That is super fantastic!!!!! It makes me want to go measure myself, but it is too early for me.
If I do so and there is no change I will be disappointed.
A smaller body is the main goal here! That scale be DAMNED!
TAM - I wonder if you will be back on today? And I hope wherever you are that you are on-plan and losing to beat the band!
Time to drink my coffee and get to work. This will be my super-busy weekend and in about 4 days I should be NORMAL again and able to spend more time here. Have a great Friday all!
