Two things I'm giving up

[Dancind]

Well, at least for the next two days! I've been back on Atkins, after a cruise break, for ten days now. The scale has not budged one bit. In fact, I think this morning was up a half pound. I want to weigh in Friday morning for the Valentine's challenge, and here's two things I'm not going to have, to see if it helps:

No wine with dinner (sob). I usually have a small glass, and boy do I look forward to it. But it might be why I'm stalled.

Three days ago, I bought a box of lo-carb Klondike bars at Costco. My DSIL told me about these. They are so, so good. I've had one a day for three days now. They have 9 grams of carbs, with 5 net grams. So, skipping those for two days.

This is an experiment, this is only an experiment. Even a one pound loss will convince me, and I'll keep it up.

I bought those Klondike bars for my sister and my son and BOY do they love them! I have to wait till I'm off induction to indulge but they were on sale this week, only $2.87 at Kroger.

How savvy of you to acknowledge the things that may make you stall. It takes alot to admit it!

Good luck!!

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Is wine a no-no with Atkins?

(i'd start with the ice cream first then see how it goes.)

No wine with dinner? A wonderful WISHer , TigH, said it best. "I dont understand those 4 words together!"

Good luck with your experiment!

Keep the Faith!

Tracy, Atkins doesn't say "no wine with dinner". But apparently my body says so. I may have to cut down to once a week, but then I'll have to drink the whole bottle! Diana

Diana, good luck with your experiment! We'll be waiting to hear if it helped. I'm not sure if I want it to work or not - I'm hoping there's something else, like giving up broccoli , that will allow you to lose more!

If you invite me over, we can share, then it would only be half a bottle! Always wanting to be helpful to my WISH pals!

Keep the Faith!

I have been stalled fro a awhile and even gained a pund or two. What I have done this week, is pumped up the excercise. AND BOY! it has worked big time. making sure I get to the gym and doing an extra WATP tape each day.I know its time consuming but thankfully I have the time. Anyway mine too was an experiment and it has defintely worked.
good luck

Mmm, I love Klondike bars and had no idea they had low carb ones!! Yummy!!

OK, here's what happened: I lost one pound. As stated, I am happy with that. I have to think of it as one pound in two days, rather than one pound in 12 days, to be happy about it though. I exercised too. So, I will avoid alcohol and alcohol sugars most of the time, and hope that eventually I will be able to have them on weekends without gaining weight. Diana

What a great experiment and thanks for posting the results. I'm kind of sorry that it worked (tough to give up that wine!) but am happy that you lost a pound.
