I can't believe I forgot to weigh in on Friday...so I'm putting in my Friday's weight...Saturday was my monthly "free day"...which extended into Sunday when son #2 came home from Paris with a ton of chocolates, wine and other treats...I only had a few but I have to admit they were delicious! So I'm sitting here working away thinking how nice the French chocolate would go with my nice cup of tea.....(stop it!) He also brought us 2 bottles of wine and some French champagne...what a great kid!

I am going the wrong way last night a had a piece of meat with 12 asparagus steamed in butter for dinner. Today I weigh 181.6!
I will drink water today into oblivion. And I ws so happy that the keto stic was for the very first time in my life a dark moderate color!
At least I will be cooking for 2 atkins style for the next 2 weeks! Scale will be different too. If you don't see me for a bit I haven't fallen off the earth ot diet! just out of state! Better luck to everyone..and magnisium pills here I come!

WOW!! Good job Montana and everyone!!! I am not losing as fast as I would have hoped I think I am going to try the meat & egg for a couple days to see if that jump starts something for me! We actually had a nice weekend here in WI, but snowing again today The first day of Spring is this Thursday!

"I am not losing as fast as I would have hoped I think I am going to try the meat & egg for a couple days to see if that jump starts something for me!"

Andie~ I do m&e intermittently with Atkins induction and it really seems to keep things rolling along. I think it makes it so my body doesn't get used to one particular 'diet' and so I don't really platue or stall when I keep mixing things up a bit. I don't keep a great journal...but I do document my meal plans from time to time if you need any ideas!

Here's a secret....

I was watching the Biggest Loser and they get a cheat day every week after the weigh in. The Trainer said it not only helps you mentally, but physically shocks your metabolism back into weight loss mode the next day when you go back on plan....

So Saturday I had my monthly day off...but Sunday son came home from France and brought me a ton of chocolate...well cheat day extended into Sunday night and then more chocolate on Monday.

Tuesday morning weight was 158.6....so I ate low carb all day....This morning my weight is 155.6...that's down 3 pounds!!!!

And by the way...that was the best chocolate I've ever eaten and worth every ounce of weight

Thats interesting Muskokagal. I actually went off plan for two days for my birthday (3-6). I was at 198 for a while but since then, I have dropped down to 195. Been here for a day or two, and I am fine with that...as long as it doesnt turn into a month or two.

Ok - that's it... I'm going out to buy some chocolate LOL. That is a very good point you both have... because I have been eating good since January 2, the only thing I have "cheated" on a little bit with is an occasional alcoholic drink... I am going to mix up my diet a little more!

Thanks again!

Got weighed at 4:30 a.m.......maybe if I slept in a little later I could have weighed less, but I was lying there awake so I thought I might as well get up and here I am and dying for coffee...which is now ready! Happy Easter everyone
