Hey all... I just updated my clippie and I'm so excited!
I haven't been around in ages - have been working extra as our WDW trip gets closer, and with the kids home for the summer, there's been so little time for even reading my email!
Then on top of everything else, I killed my back two weeks ago, and have not been able to sit, stand, or lie down for longer than 20 minutes at a time. It's been hell. Today is my first really good day so I thought I'd jump on and do a lil' update.
I'm still on Atkins - I can't believe how much I'm enjoying it. When I joined the challange I had been on it for three weeks and stuck at some kind of plateau. Everyone here was very supportive (you guys really helped me stick with it!). I didn't resort to the fat fast, but I stayed on induction and after four weeks more, I lost five more lbs - it was weird because it came off all at once, but it stayed off...and then two weeks later (yesterday) I had lost another 5! I am just five lbs shy of my goal weight!
I don't know what triggered the losing to start up again, but I do know that thanks to the encouragement from the people here, I pushed through my doubts. You guys are the best!
oh, and My husband has lost 20 lbs - but his weightloss is slowing down and he's happy to be able to eat fruits again!
Oh, and one last thing, those Tortilla Factory tortilla's that are sold on Atkins site - they are sooooooo delish! I can have fajitas again!
Positive vibes, lots of willpower, and best wishes to everyone! Take care!
