Anyone Losing Weight?

[judy]

It really is hard to watch what you eat when you are away. Taking snacks is a great idea! But, don't forget to enjoy yourself! You can be really careful when you come back.

Have a safe trip! I'm sure you will be taking your iPad, so you can let us know how much fun you are having, Gayle!

Diana, losing 1 pound is good! They say that a weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds/week is the healthiest. I hope your test results come back good!

Drive careful, Gayle!!!!

We'll see about the one pound........as I said......I took my shoes off when I weighed so that's probably the pound that I lost!!!! LOL I'm sure that I'm going to start losing soon. I've been doing really good on this diet.....better than I thought I would. I need to get a little exercise in and I will when everything gets settled down here.

You all are doing really great....I'm so thrilled for you. You're right Diana....getting old does suck and it sucks worse when you're like me.....100 lbs over normal. Wow....how did I let this happen....oh I know....I love to eat!

Have a safe trip Gayle and thank you so much for all your support. Hope you have a wonderful time.

I know exactly how it happens.......you and I weigh about the same. I am excited about this diet though!!! Maybe it's something that you could do too. It's basically very very low carbs. I get 20 a day but I'm not sure that I use all of them and I'm not hungry. I can eat quite a lot.....it just has to have low or no carbs. I had already cut out chips and potatoes and not much bread because of my diabetes so the transition to this has been pretty easy for the most part.

This is going to sound weird but I had two eggs for breakfast yesterday......ate half of a steak with a large salad for lunch......snacked on a package of bacon and finished the rest of it for supper with a large salad. I also had sugar-free jello. I can have cheese as well. Atkins has bars and shakes that are really pretty good so they help with the sweet fix. There's no measuring or counting calories......just watching carbs.....very easy. It's lots of protein and certain veggies!!

The plan says that it actually helps with lowering cholesteroland blood pressure.....that's hard to believe but we'll see. My blood sugar is doing so much better for the last couple of days.

This is a diet that I think that I can stay on for life......btw....I'm down 3 or 4 pounds this morning!!!!!!

Wahoo Diane!!!!!

Way to go Diana....I'm so happy for you. What you mentioned you hate....would have me starving. I did the SB diet and the lbs fell off, but if you don't stay on it, the weight all comes back. Way too easy to go back to the old ways of eating. I don't see a whole lot of difference between count carbs or counting calories....I still have to count..lol. Right now...during all this mess I'm living through....not sure I could do any weight loss program....in due time......in due time.

So far I've lost about 5 pounds. I'm glad to finally start seeing some results so I think that I'm not going to be weighing every day. Just knowing that what I'm doing is working is good for me.......I'm very excited about it.......staying off the scales will be hard!!!

Also the pond is finally warm enough so I'll be swimming a lot more!!! So excited about that......except for the snake we saw in the pond!!! YUCK!!!! Hopefully Mollee will find it......She's a snake killing dog!!!!

Count that pound! I doubt if your shoes weigh a whole pound. I move my scale around until I find the spot on the floor where it registers the lowest weight! Anyway, you have a positive attitude, which is so important!
