Starting Atkins induction Diet Anyone want to join me????

[renewedhope 4]

Ok, I am doing a little better. I am still having this big time craving for lemon slush from Sonic. They are so full of sugar. i am ambarressed to even tell you how many carbs. Tonight is date night for dh and I. i am going o Walmart to buy an ice shredder and some lemons. I am going to make my own slushes. It's the sour I like. I could even do without the sugar. I still have more restriction. I ate chicken bites for lunch today. My scales were up a pound today. I also went to the gym and did 50 minutes of cardio. Not perfect, but still pressing on!!!

I think I am done with Atkins for now. Do you guys think I should start a new thread that we can support each other on and leave this one for those of you who want to continue atkins. I definately don't want to be a downer for those who do this with success. Bloo, you are doing amazing!! Keep it up!! If we start a new thread, what should we call it???

Hey everyone! I've been really busy trying to get everything in order for my son's birthday party Saturday.

Renewed, yes, I definitely think you should start a new thread because I am done with atkins too, at least for now. I have no idea as to what the thread should be called though. I would still like to talk with you guys every day and maybe talk about our food choices for the day. Maybe we could still log our food and share ideas and recipes? I think it's a great idea!

Bloo, renewed is right, you have done such a good job on atkins! You should be very proud of yourself!

Continue to use this thread. I'm sure others will join in, but feel free to join the new thread as well. Here it is

I plan on continuing with the Atkins for at least another week. I am trying (desperately) to reach a mini goal. I've had a slight setback since Aunt Flo arrived a couple days ago (and I'm retaining Water :drool:) but hoping for a big drop within the next couple days.

Today was weird ... I felt almost as if I had no restriction whatsoever and oh the sugar cravings!! I was good though and instead of satisfying my sweet tooth with a mini white powdered donut (like I wanted to) instead I drank an Atkins Caramel Latte shake. Yeah I'm sure that mini donut has less calories than the shake but it was the carbs I was concerned about. :tongue2:

Anyhow, this is what I had today ...

Breakfast ~ Atkins Mocha Shake

Snack ~ 3 raw almonds & 1 package Buddig oven roasted turkey

Lunch ~ 3oz polska kielbasa & 1 colby jack cheese stick

Snack ~ .5oz pork rinds

Dinner ~ salad (1oz lettuce, 1oz salami, 1 string cheese, 2T italian dressing)

Snack ~ Atkins Caramel Latte shake

Totals ~

Hey guys! I got a fill yesterday and I'm hoping it's just what I need to get back on track! I won't post my food right now because I'm on liquids today and tomorrow. I may try to eat dinner tomorrow night, I dunno yet. I'm definitely going to be watching my carbs when I start eating again. Until then, I'm drinking my low carb slim fast shakes and Water.< /p>

I think I may take a day off every couple of weeks, just so I don't feel too deprived! Lookin forward to low carbin it again with you guys!

[BlooEyez 13]

I went to Wally World the other night just to get those chicken breasts and they didn't have them dangitanyway! :thumbup: Will have to try another Wally World because they sound so good!

Hey there Georgia ... congrats on the fill! I could use one, but going to TJ is too much of a hassle right now :smile:
