Some years back I went from 210 to 140 on Atkins. Counted carbs and it worked. I also had energy and was never hungry. My doctor approved it but said not to make it my diet for life. Loose the weight then maintain. Gained a few and am about to get back on it. Sooooo, count me in... I can tell anyone thinking about doing Atkins that you CAN do it on the road or anywhere else.

hello ladies, you all have been very quite today. your all not cheating on your diets are you ? i am trying to be good.

I tried to post yesterday but I guess it didn't show?
The website's been down for a bit but I've been trying to be good. Still maintaining the 1 lb loss, have to get on the scale tomorrow to see if there's anymore gone.
And also, good new, the bf passed the test with flying colors. I went to the DMV and watched with his fellow students and trainer. He didn't mess up once! So Tuesday we're going to PA and Wednesday he begins his 2 day orientation and then he's out on the road for his 300 hours of training. I think he will be working for the Family Dollar stores. Maybe he'll alert me to some good deals
OH and by the way, Friday I made the fajitas for my mom, father,sis and the bf (Will); I threw fake chicken in mine and my mom's and steak strips in everyone else's and everyone loved them. It was so easy to make!

Ugh, now that Will passed his test and everyone knows he's leaving I'm getting non stop questions about where he's going, when he'll be back, am I going to be scared alone, am I going to cry, how much is he making, just questions questions questions raising my anxiety level up and up and up.
I already subdued myself with 2 cookies and 1/2 a muffin and now I feel sick!
I know some people are genuinely concerned and curious but others I feel like they're asking me these questions just to hear all the bad stuff and make me cry!
I really felt like snapping at someone people to just leave me alone; of course I'm going to cry and miss him and what he's making is really none of their business!!
Its a bad day - I'm right on the edge of tears all day and its taking all I have ti keep on my poker face till I leave him Wednesday - then I can cry all I want..

[sweezly1]

why dont you snap at me, might make you feel better. lets see, how much is he going to make? , will you miss him? who will help you around the house? GO---- YOUR TURN .

thanx sweezly but the moment has passed. I'm too down to be angry right now. Went up to PA with him today. He thought I'd be able to stay over night and leave tomorrow when he starts his orientation but they bunked him in a room with someone else so I left this evening. The goodbye was really hard but I have to remember that's it's just a job, he'll come back.
In other news, yesterday I joined a gym with another couple/friends of mine. Will didn't join because his job situation is so up in the air right now we don't know when he'd be home to use it.
Maybe I'll even go tomorrow.

[crabby125s girl]

A week has passed (or Will pass by tomorrow) and I haven't really done much diet wise.
It's really hard - even on hear to keep track of all I'm eating but I know when I'm making good choices and bad, so far I'm just balancing out but that's not good enough.
Today (day 6 I guess) I didn't eat breakfast, I know that's bad too but I wasn't feeling like anything. Maybe I just didn't like anything I had. Grocery shopping is a drag too lol - I guess tonight I'll go out and get some appetizing yet healthy things...
I still have some tortilla rounds so if I get veggies I can make more fajitas for my lonesome..
How is everyone else doing??
-----------------------------
For lunch I made a salad with lettuce, chopped tomato and onions, sliced chik'n patty and creamy italian.
For dinner I had the same thing but the dressing was oil and vinegar instead. much better choice but I can't let the creamy italian rot in my fridge either...
Today was a good day...

[simplyred1962]

Haven't done very well the past 3 days. Have been stuck ALL DAY, for 3 days, either unloading, or loading, nowhere to eat nearby, and no groceries on board except for bad stuff.
Vienna sausages, and the like.
Today is better, though. Got a fairly decent breakfast...a veggie omelet, dry toast, and grits.

Have a good day, all!
