Wish Check-in Thread for week of January 18, 2004

[Otto's Doll]

Didn't see this started, so I thought I would go ahead. I did well this week, again. I am down 4.5 pounds! I have been on plan continuously, and have been drinking all my water. I am sure to slow down next week (TOM), but for now I am very happy!

We can do this together!!

 

[Jiminy102]

Well I am very Happy that I stayed teh same this week!!! With my Birthday on Friday and TOM I am thrilled!!!!

 

[kayeandjim00]

Well I'm THRILLED to report that I'm down 3 lbs this week! I've got a new clippie and I'm sooo happy to have the Whoosh Fairy over for a visit! Hope my fellow WISHers had a good week too!

I lost 1 pound which is great considering that I had the stomach flu most of the week and all I ate was chips, crackers, etc. I got back on plan Friday. Onward and downward!

After a week being back OP I lost about 5lbs and I'm now down to 175 - only 2 more for a new clippie. I also did really well with exercise this week which probably helped a lot too.

I'm up a pound but I've lost half an inch off my waist and my rings are looser. I'm guessing all this working out is building my muscles.

 

[luvmydogs]

Congratulations to all the losers this week, and DoeWDW, I bet you're putting on muscle you macho girl! I've been maintaining at 123-125 for @ two weeks now, and this morning I was 124 1/2. Have a great day everyone, and I can't wait to hear all your reports next week!

Hi Everyone,
I maintained last week, which seems to be my usual pattern now. A couple of weeks of maintaining, then a week of loss. I did try the low carb menu at Ruby Tuesday's last evening. I never saw a restaurant so packed! There were coupons in the Sunday paper the previous week. I don't know if that was the reason or because of the menu options now available.

What I had was very good (chicken, broccoli, and mashed cauliflower), but it seems the chicken portion was really small. I did split the low carb cheesecake with DH (I think it was only 3 carbs a slice), and it tasted like the real thing!

It is really snowing hard here this morning...another day to stay indoors. We'll be rooting for the Eagles later today, so I guess DH and I will be couch potatoes.

Congrats to all the losers, be it pounds or inches. Onward and downward!

I am happy to report a loss of two pounds this week. I seemed to have really slowed down on the weight loss, I may kick it up a notch.

Well, I lost that 1.5 lb. that I needed to to get my new clippie!!!

And I was able to reach my 2nd 10% goal- which is a very good thing!!

We tried the 'carb friendly' menu at Ruby Tuesday's also- the steak was great and big enough to share! The creamed spinach had a bit too much pepper for DH (I don't do cooked spinach), and the creamed cauliflower was just that. I like fresh better.

The price of the salad bar has gone up to $6.99 now and we paid it for me. DH had the 'add salad bar' for $1.99 with the entree. And to add insult to injury, the table next to us ordered salad bar and were feeding their whole family off of it!!!

We did the cheesecake too (6 carbs a slice) and shared it- so that was 3 carbs for each of us. DH about slid under the table in bliss... it was that good!!!

Congratulations to everyone- and onward and downward we go!!

The cheesecake is so good there! But, FYI, it is 6 carbs per slice. And well worth every bite!

Well after my battle this week with "Aunt Flo", I am happy to say that I am down another 5 pounds!
That's a grand total of 10 pounds for my first 2 weeks of Atkins Induction!

I am SO looking forward to the coming weeks, not dreading continuing this "diet" like I though I might. I've found so many good things to eat that I didn't even know I liked....(broccoli and califlour), and I've got lots of new recipes that I've got on my menu to try this week.

My only regret is that I waited so long to get started, and that I took so long finding WISH!

I'm happy to report that I am joining the parade of losers this week! I'm down 2.5 pounds which brings my loss to 25 pounds since 12/1/03!!!! I just grabbed my new clippie and life is good.

DH and I enjoyed dinner at Ruby Tuesday's last Sunday. I had the new orleans cajun fish and shrimp dish with broiled cajun talapia and shrimp scampi on top (with an alfredo sauce but thank goodness mine had very little sauce), I had the broccoli and mashed cauliflower which was surprisingly good. Of course for dessert DH and I had the cheesecake. It was so good! Btw, we did NOT share. And I thought it was well worth the $5. We definitely will be back!

 

[bubie2.5]

I'm down 2 more pounds this week!! Just 1.5 lb and I'll have a new clippie!!!

Began exercise class Thurs and will go 2 Xs a week. Combination of aerobics, pilates & yoga. Hopefully this will tide me over til the weather "softens" a little in this area!! BITTER COLD AND SNOW!!! I HATE IT !!!! How I wish I was on Castaway Cay!!!

Okay, this is my first check-in. I started Atkins last Thursday, and today I'm down 3.5 lbs. I know I need to be realistic, but boy if it would only keep up at this rate!
