Well, 24 hours on Atkins Induction apparently did something, because when I woke up this afternoon, (I got out of work at seven a.m, in case anyone is thinking I can't lose weight cause I'm in my bed all day, LOL!)I weighed myself...I was 163 on the way to work last night..*SOB* but today... 159.5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I even tried on a short, sassy dress for an upcoming wedding, and I have never owned a short dress, but DAAY-YAMMMN! It's sleevless, had a tie in the back so you can customize the fit a little, has a slightly frilled hem...I'll have to post a pic of me in it, it's too cute to describe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the sucker is RED. (Cranberry)

Now, had anyone suggested to me on Tuesday that I would be buying an over the knee, sleeveless sassy red dress this week, I would have told you to put the crack pipe down.

And even better? it's a nice weight rayon material with an eastern Indian type vine thing as the print on it...originally $65.00...

Marked down to $18.00.

I poop you not.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTG Amy! I'll bet you look HOT in that dress! And what a bargain! How do your fins fit in it though?

Good for you Amy!! I haven't even made it passed the first day. Yesterday I ate a pint of Ben and Jerrys and today two, not one but two bowls of ice cream.

I did notice while reading your "Pardon my Backslide" thread that most of us on the board are having a hard time. Wonder why and what can we do to get us back on track. I know I will try harder tomorrow. :-) Stephanie 280/225/170 still

Hey, thanks, ladies! I knew if I just cut the crap, it would help. It's amazing how much water you can pack on, and how lousy you feel from eating too much of a good thing. I STILL believe there is no such thing as too much cake (in my fantasy world).

I am going to stay on Atkins for a while - at least Induction for a month. I jut know I can't go crazy with cheeses, high fat meat (but oh, the lamb I broiled the other day...Mooooooooooaannnn).

I'm not sure why a large percentage of us are having troubles..maybe it's the time of year - Back to School, shift in weather, planetary alignment, who knows. maybe the fact that we've all been at it so long it's a bit boring, and our natural inclination to forge ahead will resurface soon.

I just know that I can eat soemthings freely, some in moderation, some rarely, or i pay the consequences!

Hey, that's good news! It's good to see even one pound gone. I thought of you yesterday when I got a DC w/ lime. I am down another pound, too, and plan to keep going as far as I can. One day at a time. And get on the water already, babe!

Big hugs and all the support you could EVER want,

Way to go, girl! You are doing great. And don't you just love a dress that makes you look great, but was also on sale! Makes me feel even better.

You rock!

Well step out in style chica! That's fantastic! Isn't it amazing how one little (and I mean little ;)) piece of clothing can make you feel like you own the world! Now I hope you have a pair of darlin' strappy sandles to set off that wild cranberry dress. I love that colour!

You're gonna make heads spin hon. Make sure you post a pic!

Cheers

Lisa
