Say No To Carbs 2 Day Challenge...come Join Me

[georgia girl 35]

Well my first day went really well. My eating was right on target but I didn't have a chance to exercise :sad: I have a question for you all though. When you count the carbs, do you count total carbs or net carbs? Like the slimfast low carb chocolate has 6 total carbs but onlly 2 net. Either way, I stayed under 20 yesterday, but I was just wondering.

Hey Mamato3!

I try to go by total carbs, but if I go a little over I don't fret about it. I could be wrong, but I think the book says you can go by net carbs. Either way, stay at 20 or less and you should be fine.

Have a great day!!

Ok guys. My little boy has to have a small surgery tommorow. I didn't know about it until yesterday. That is why we were out all day. Anyway, we will be at the hospital tommorow and then babying him this weekend. I am going to delay my Atkins diet until monday, but I will be checking in. It is sooo encouraging to see how great you are all doing. I'm not bailing on you, but I know we will be eating out the next couple of days!!

I was happy to see the scale move down a couple lbs after only one day.

It would be nice if I could actually lose more than the 5 lbs I gained on vacation. The way I was eating, I am surprised I only gained 5. That makes me think if I eat right now, maybe I can lose a little extra.

I hope your little guy has a quick recovery. Sorry to hear he needs surgery.

Eating out is definately a challenge when you are doing this. My hubby wanted to go to PF Changs and I said NO WAY! haha

You are strong woman Mamato!!! PF Changs is one of my favorite places!! The closest one to us is about 2 1/2 hours away, so I don't face that temptation often. food for you for saying no!!! YOU GO GIRL

Isn't that Chinese food? I eat the BBQ pork at Chinese places. This sleepy little town in the middle of nowhere doesn't have PF Changs.

I had a Protein Drink for dinner again today. I had peanuts at work. I know they aren't as bad as some stuff for carbs, but I still should have

stayed away from them.

Hey everyone! Today was another good day for me. I was going to try and hold off on weighing until Monday, but I'm not sure I can. I am anxious to see if I have lost any weight! I definitely feel better already!

[mamato3 1]

I did pretty good yesterday ( I think ). I am ready to beat up my DH though! I told him no way to PF Changs, so guess what he did????? He went and brought home chinese food takeout from another place! hahaha I managed to just eat steamed shrimp and veggies with some garlic sauce. I'm sure the garlic sauce wasn't good, but it was better then any breaded and fried foods.

I definately do not have the willpower to stay away from the scale. It calls my name every single morning. I'm down 2.5 pounds since we started. YAY!!

Hey Everyone,

Ive been doing ok. Could be better!! but something is better than nothing I guess. scale hasnt moved yet :wink2: Hoping it will tomm.I need to stay away from it..

Have a good day!

we just got home. My little boy did great. I just put him down for a nap. Reading this thread is so inspiring. I was going to start on Manday, but yall have motivated me to get going. Since my little guy is doing so well, I will be joining you all in the morning. You are all doing so well. Give yourselves a big pat ont he back. Staying on Atkins induction is no easy task.

[georgia girl 35]

Renewed, I sent you a PM already, but I am really glad your little boy is doing okay. Glad you are joining us tomorrow!

[georgia girl 35]

Okay, I was going to try to hold off on weighing, but I couldn't help myself. I had gained 2 pounds prior to starting Atkins because I was on a junk food spree, but I weighed in at 246 this morning, so I lost the 2 lbs I had gained. I can't wait to see how much I lose in the 2 week period of doing this.

Have a great day everyone!! Keep up the good work!!

I'm not doing so hot. It has been a horrible week and I so need to get back on track. I have had no energy... only worked out 2 times this week so far... I dont know if I am coming down with something or what. Plus my last fill didnt do much of anything.:thumbup:

I did pretty well today. I had a Protein drink for Breakfast, salad for lunch and fish for dinner. I am so bad at making food for myself, that I didn't make anything to go with the fish.

I could never stay away from the scale!

[georgia girl 35]

I did pretty good today too. I had a LC slim fast for breakfast, spinach & cheese turkey roll-ups for lunch, and Wendy's chili for dinner. The chili probably wasn't the best choice but I still think I did okay.
