Default Hey buddies

Hi everyone, hows it going. Going good here, lost 8 lbs my first week and now starting my second. How are you doing jess? Hows the excercising? I'm still doing excercising but now its much easier because the plant that I work at has installed a gym with the latest cardio and weight machines. Its through something called lifesteps that is incorporated through general motors. So nw on my lunch hour which is only 30 min. I go up and walk on the tread and on my last break at the end of the night I walk on the tread so all in all I walk about 2-3 miles per day. So I understand not having enough time because if it weren't for my place of work I'd be in a jam. gwil how are you? My mom has fibro so I know what its like. Hows the dancing? Your weightloss is amazing, I hope I lose like you with no stalls. I would like the recipe for the hashbrowns (zucchini) and a cheesecake recipe. Has anyone tried the atkins cheesecake? I cant get myself to like the atkins bars, just somthin about em I just cant take. Anyway hope everyone is wonderful, Hope to hear from ya Sabrina

Unhappy HOPE I'M NEVER ONE CONSIDERED TO HAVE FLEW THE COOP

Ya know, being a Carb Addict there's always that little tint of Fear in Me that one Day I will just Go balistic and go to the SuperMarket and load my cart up with every Pastry, Bread, Cookie ever invented to mankind.


Just like a Drug Addict taking it "One Day at a Time", well that's what I'm doing, only with food.

What's the Difference??????? Nothing, there Both ADDICTIVE, take over your whole sence ofself and make u hide. (I'm speaking 4 myself)


So, I just wanted to share this info with everyone because although I am doing so well, who's to say I won't jump off the Low Carb Bandwagon right now?????????
(Not that I want to, beleive me, I've come so Far) It's just when I'm having a bad day, I'm used to the Junk Food Stuff Comforting me. I guess we can only take it one day at a time, huh????!


Thankx 4 all your support out there!!!!!!!!!!

Jessica

Unhappy That's my prob Sabrina**********

There's this new awesome Gym (LA FITNESS) that just opened up near my job and it has everything!!!!!!!! Problem is that it's in the Center of Fort Lauderdale and people here are sooooooo vein and shallow. They are all beautiful and in shape allready when they join the Gym. Not like me where I HAVE TO GET IN SHAPE. I have a complex, beleive me.

I really want to join this Gym. I think we have Lady of America, that might be a better option for now. I'll see.


Oh, don't worry, my Depression will subside. This Diet is the Only thing right now I have Control over. Not my personal life, work, or Social Life. They all suck right now, but I'm losing weight!!!!!!! He he!!!!

Thankx 4 your concern. Love u all******

Jessica

Moca - I know exactly what you mean! I went into a supermarket in Lauderdale once - no harried tee shirt and shorts shoppers there. Everyone was dressed up - I couldn't believe it - dressing up to go to Publix???
Anyway, another thing I noticed is that they were all like a size 2, tanned, and not a facial wrinkle anywhere.

Wink UHHHHHHH,

Thank you!!!!!!! You nailed Lauderdale/Miami right on the Head!!!!!!! That's the type of people around me. All Beautiful. I am very cute it's just my body that is Fat. When I lose weight I will fit in fine Here. I vowed to not be Fat anymore once I lose this weight.


I know looks aren't everything, but in the Music Business you need to be Beautiful, especially a woman!!!!!!!! (I'm a singer/songwriter, Musician)


So, Good Luck Everyone and Happy eating!!!!!!!!!

Default Ketosis sticks

Hi everyone! I am brand new on this site! I'm not really sure how it works..I wrote in another room and noone wrote me back...am I confused? My main question is that I have really been strict with my carbs and I mainly eat fruit and veggies...I don't eat meat! My ketsosis sticks aren't changing colors. It's been 8 days and 9 pounds...any idea on what my problem is?

Default Hi Snook

Did I read it right? U dont eat meat? If so thats likely why U arent in Ketosis because U arent eating enough protein-fat. BUT U have lost weight so what ever U are doing seems to be working
