I'm in. But oops! I already cheated http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/redface.gif . Can I start tomorrow? O.K. then http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bang.gif
I ate good until this evening. Chicken Fajita Pita and J in the B and it came with fries (I only had a few). and 2 bites of ice cream.
Not too bad.
Tomorrow is a new day, I'll be good!

I'm at a standstill :( I lost the 6 lbs and then ....NOTHING. I am being pretty good with Atkins, and except for one day I haven't cheated... so what gives? I was So pumped up and now I feel like what's the point if I am going to stay at this weight??? OK so I'm whining... I just feel really frustrated. :mad:

POOR CHIPPY :( Mine has slowed too, but AF was the reason (I think) Just keep it up and maybe add a LITTLE bit of carbs back and then take them back off again. Someone said this may mix things up a bit. ? Also, maybe try some different foods if you're eating the same things all the time. Add some more fat? I know that sounds silly :round: .
How long have you been stalled?
Are you exercising? Weights?
I'm just throwin stuff out there :D
GOOD LUCK http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif

Count me in. 3 miles per day walking and light weights at night.
no cheating until the weekend when I reward myself with a teeny, tiny piece of cake or something.
good luck eveyone.

I'm here, I'm here!!
I did okay yesterday (Monday). Great workout. Ate fairly good--I just ate bigger serving sizes at dinner.
Unfortunately I hurt my neck and was on the heating pad last night, so I didn't chance it by working out this morning and have school tonight but I'll still eat healthy.
I did step on the scale and it appears that I've lost about 2-3 pounds--not bad considering how I ate over the weekend. :nono:
Have a great week everybody!! We can do it!!

Hello everyone! :wave:
I'm still in for the no cheat week! Unfortunately I cheated a tiny bit last night! I have a small peice of cake with frosting that I ate with my fingers. So it wasn't big. My mom made stew and I had second's soo I wasn't tooooo bad but I did cheat a lil.
I went to Jazzercise last night aswell and found out it was $85 for 8 weeks! Next week there closing the gym to re-do the floor and I'm going away for a week in November so it wouldn't have been worth it. I'll just start doing my Firm tapes again in place for Jazzercise.
Over the weekend I went from 136lbs. on Saturday to 139lbs. on Monday and I only had a small peice of cake after taking my Chitosan so that was sucky! :mad:
I didn't cheat at all today so I hope it stays that way when I get home from work!!!

I'm totally in for that, that is if I can get my booty up at 5:30am to go running. I've been trying and trying but everytime the alarm goes off I turn it off at sleep until I really have to get up. I'll try my hardest tomorrow, but no promises! lol!!

Hi Chipmunkus,
I have just been sticking to a healthy meal plan - I am not counting fat or calories, I am just making better choices. I walk roughly 3 miles a day/5 days a week. I drink 10 bottles of water per day (500ml)I put 10 elastic bands on my water bottle every morning, and then as I finish the water I take 1 elaStic band off, then I know that I have drank what I needed to drink for the day. I switched from 1% milk TO skim. I am just trying to lose the weight the right way in order to keep it off. I also find that all of you are such a great support to me. I just want to be thinner, My goal is to be size 10 ( I am currently 16-18) and I do not like it! Sorry now I am rambling.I am giving this my all, I don;t take weekends off because with me it's all or nothing, and I will cheat bigtime and have to start over again. I hope everyone has a great day tommorow!!!!!!!

Amberseattle: :O) Humpday is here! :O) I look at Wednesday the same way. Loved reading your upbeat messages. Same with Snowkitten, just wanted to say to you, I fluxuate my weight sometimes also and I think mine is salt intake. I really have to watch the processed foods. I have taken salt out of my diet (shaking salt on my food). I was fortunate enough to have annakay answer my reply about the 3 day diet and I am currently on day 2. I must admit it seems almost unreal you can loose 6 pounds in 3 days but I thought, what the heck. :O) I enjoy reading these posts as I get a lot of insite and encouragement from them.
