Hi Pam - Keep on trying - it will happen when it's supposed to happen. Try not to stress to much because that doesn't help. I'm still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I was still 174 this morning - it's OK because I did snack on pretzels a bit yesterday. I'm back at work and I find it easier to stay on track, so I'm hoping for a decent day. Here's the plan: B: Protein drink L: Protein drink D: not sure - we're going to the diner after tap dancing tonight - I'll stick with a diet plate or meat of some sort. S: Atkins caramel fudge bar; WW Flakes & Fiber Exercise: an hour of tap at class plus some practice beforehand. Hope everyone has a great day!! Hugs, Nancy

Hi all, Having a crummy day. Argued with my son and the worst part is that nothing was resolved before he stormed out...sigh.... I've been keeping myself really busy so I'm not snacking. I'll probably go out and rake leaves for an hour or so. I've been cleaning out closets and cabinets and I've gotten rid of so much stuff - the garbage man will earn his keep this week! I was 174 again this morning - that's fine - down 6 lbs. this week. It's very motivating when the weight comes off quickly - once it slows down is when it's hard to stick with it! Here's my plan for today: B: Protein drink L: Protein drink D: Turkey tenderloin and carrots S: Atkins caramel fudge bar, WW Flakes & Fiber Trying to drink lots of water. I'll practice my tap and step dancing later and rake leaves for an hour for exercise. Hugs, Nancy

I said I'd be here this weekend, and I'm trying to stay true to my word. It's a gorgeous day here in the northeast - nearly 70 degrees - so I took a nice long walk with the dog and raked for about 90 minutes. I was down another pound today to 174, and I'm feeling good about myself again. My eating plan for today is about the same as yesterday - going to have chicken parm for dinner tonight! YUM!!! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Hugs, Nancy

Hi everyone, Had a pretty good day yesterday. I walked for about 40 minutes and also did a bit of dancing. I ate a few more things then I had planned, but still stayed under 1000 calories and lost another pound, so I'm down from 180 to 175! Ten more to go. We'll see how long this lasts - the weekend's coming up and that's where I run into trouble. I was thinking yesterday that every time I go off my diet and eat like a crazy person, I wonder whether or not I'll be able to get back and I get so scared. I'm glad I'm back on board. I made a few attempts and couldn't do it, but finally got motivated enough when I saw the 180. Here's the plan for today: B: Protein drink L: Protein drink D: Diet Coke chicken, shrimp S: WW Flakes & Fiber, Atkins carmel fudge protein bar Totals: Calories: 975 Carbs: 30 Protein: 132 Hope everyone has a great day - I'll be here this weekend too! Hugs, Nancy

I had a horrible eating day yesterday. Too many snacks. I did get a good workout in this morning. Bad news about the protein drinks guys. They expire on the 16th. I'm glad I pulled them out. I'm going to try to do 2 drinks a day for the next week. I'll have one to replace breakfast and one later in the day if I want a snack. Before they go bad. I'm sure then that by the end of the week I should see some kind of movement in that scale. Today, Breakfast Protein Drink Lunch Lowfat Chicken Salad w/ Wheat Crackers Dinner Fish and Salad Snacks Yogurt Proten Drink Have a great one. Teah
