Yargh! My good jeans look terrible on me...

I got a good start on getting back on Atkins today. Last time I tried I didn't go get any ketostix, and it's hard for me to keep from cheating when I can't "see" the ketosis. I'll go get some tomorrow, along with lotsa meat and stuff. If anyone sees me eating bread or fries or a coke, smack me. I already stocked up on flavorless protein bars and eggs.

I'm thinking of going on that seriously...

I've never considered it till now but something needs to be done. Help me! Heheh.

I lost between 25-30 lbs on it last year, then went off at the holidays and didn't go back on it for good this year. I found I could maintain the weight loss (but not lose more) just by cutting out dessert and pop but not otherwise counting carbs, but when I began eating normally, it started creeping back.

I'm pretty motivated right now because I want to fit back into the clothes I bought when I lost the weight. That's my nicest newest stuff, LOL.

BTW, my friend willco lost quite a bit on it, and my supervisor at work lost 40+ lbs.

Ketostix? Is that like those bamboo things that samari's practice with? So we're supposed to hit you with one when you order a baked potato?

[lisamoe.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Although if it's a baked potato I'm ordering, you could just take it away and throw that at me. I bet being hit with a hot baked potato hurts.

[nxtwothou.livejournal.com]

That's why you order extra butter and sour cream...to cushion the blow.

Going to the emergency room for an eye bacon bit removal, doesn't sound too exciting though.

[lisamoe.livejournal.com]

Actually, on Atkins, you can eat the butter and sour cream. So before you take my potato away and assault me with it, make sure I'm not just licking the toppings off.

There's just something about someone licking a split baked potato filled with white stuff that just screams kodak moment.

You should see me eat a corn dog.

Something about someone licking a phalic symbol covered in yellow and red stuff, then taking another bite, that screams..screaming.

[lisamoe.livejournal.com]

Heh. I like screaming.

Did you start with the salad suggestion or just the diet itself?

[lisamoe.livejournal.com]

Just the diet, although I eat a lot of salads on the diet anyway. It's important to get a lot of protein, though, so I don't eat just lettuce. Usually I make chef's salads with eggs and ham and stuff.

I always feel way better when I dont eat any carbs. I will be back on atkins sometime soon.

I'm thinking of getting back on Atkins too... maybe we can do it together.

I'm on day two. Put down that spaghetti and make up a big batch of tuna salad!

[mstami.livejournal.com]

I think that's a diet I may be able to stick with. If your going to do it maybe we can help each other out? I've got to do something. Maybe we can start our own support group. Let's talk. :)

Once I got going, it wasn't hard. I fell off the wagon at the holidays last year and just never quite got back on for good. You really aren't hungry or tired on this diet, as long as you take in enough protein. I have had friends that have had stomach/intestinal issues with it, but I never did.
