Thanks Nita:
My little sisters name is Anita...lol
I ordered some cook books yesterday online so I am hoping that I can just make the change to wonderful cooking 100%, I get very bored with eating meat and really need the veggies but am to afraid to add to many at this point because am still in the two week induction.. It is also very hard to find a lot of the things needed for the recipes here in the midwest, so will have to order online but wanted to have a "list" before I went shopping that way. I am committed to the LC and so is hubby so we will find the light soon..

Well had a family reunion yesterday and did well at it.. had my Grandson with so I of course had to hold him and thus wasn't able to eat much... I had a chicken strip, and some loose meat and that is it.... then I had taken a dessert of 1 inch cubes of pound cake in a clear glass dish, with sugar free pudding mixed with cool whip, and strawberries, you layer it in the dish and it is really pretty and tastes great, so I had a little bit of that without the pound cake... whoohooo for me...

Ok I got the miracle noodles today, they are pretty good, look awful but taste kinda like noodles.... hum.... gotta have to try them again another day. did like Rob's messages told me to do with rinsing them lots, then drying them and then heat up in a hot skillet and then I put some organic red sauce over them... pretty good, made a big ole bowl and could only eat about 1/2 of them... that is a great thing...you should try them.. they were good.....I will have them again.. Wish you could get them locally however, the shipping is very expensive.

Well end of week two and I didn't lose any additional weight this week. Very sad but am still down 8 pounds in two weeks, that will have to do. sticking to the plan still with the 20 carbs and now sure what I did wrong this my second week?? I will stick to it again all week will be a little harder as we will be traveling for the holiday weekend however Hubby is doing the same plan so we are able to keep each other on the plan. Will be attending a couple parties but if we eat before we go we should be find. Planning on taking some food with us that we know is ok and there are four diners at the hotel we are staying at so we should be able to make it when we dine out to... I HOPE SO!!!!!Want to see that scale move by a week from today..... Hope everyone had a good weekend...

Ginger, the sad fact is that weight loss is not linear or constant. What helped me get over the disappointment of not having lost any weight from 1 week to the next, despite staying on plan, was the realization that I had not GAINED any weight either. Having been on a weight roller coaster for years, not gaining weight was a victory for me. Since I knew weight loss was going to be erratic and that there would be stalls along the way, I just stayed on plan.

Thanks Henry:
You are correct of course... today I was down 2 so who knows, I just need to learn to stay off that darn scale--- it is so hard for me not to jump out of bed and onto the scale, I should get rid of it.. but it also lets you know if you have done anything wrong.. I think... it is a emotional roller coaster that is for sure, yesterday I was sad because of no loss, today I am beaming.... I hate to be like that but oh well I am.... and after I have a few weeks of losing maybe I will be able to skip the scale, I am sticking to the plan so well I am sure of it so I should see it going down from time to time.. and after all the sugar that I use to eat I even am feeling better.

Ginger, women have a lot of factors that can affect their weight from one day to the next. You might want to consider extending the periods between weighing. One thing that I did was to not pay any attention to the reading from one period to the next, unless that reading was a confirmation of the reading from the prior period. Then I would "claim" the result. I found that by doing so there was no pressure on a particular reading because it was confirming where I was in the prior period, not where I thought I was or should be today. In other words, if I weighed today and showed a 2 pound loss, I would not regard that loss as a fact unless, at the end of the next weighing period (usually 1 or 2 weeks), I weighed the same or less than the prior reading.

Yes you can!!!

Yeah, Ginger, I gotta go with Henry on this one. The scale is a fickle lover, and cannot be depended upon. What you can depend upon, however, is that if you consistently make healthy choices, the long term trend will bear that out.

Ginger01 · #44 07-01-2008, 04:00 PM

Gotcha.. however it is so tough to stay off the scale, so from now on I will hide it how about that... I will go nuts.... I am so proud that we have been able to stick to this plan.... thanks for everything peeps...
