Okay I have not lost one pound and it is nearly two weeks!

I am on anti-biotics for two weeks the same two weeks of this dam n diet. Think that is messing me up? I am about choking on protein and I go to the scale to see the same numbers...

Bummersville!

I thought maybe I would see the difference in my clothes but they are EXACTLY the same!

I am happy for you wacky and Sudo and all for whom it is working but I dunno....

Think it is the pills? My friend thinks I am retaining water.... Who knows...

One thing is abundantly clear, I have not had any results.

ACD_

I left on my own with enough guilt and feelings like I was going to die at any time for leaving.

I think being booted out is worse! Those poor people! The confusion and shame TWI heaped on anyone they booted was horrific!

My love to all you guys!

Thanks for the candy!

Thanks everyone!

How are all you Atkins types doing?

Herbalist- thanks for your input! I may try you next but I amy just stick with Atkins

Dot Matrix

Thanks Zix and Bow

I am going to give Atkins a shot. Then, I may check the Zone as people are saying it is similar but better.

Okay, I will not get on the scale until next week. Maybe that will help me.

Can I take diet pills on this?

Dot Matrix

God I suck!

I have not lost an ounce! I am doing it all correctly including the water!

I eat tuna with mayo no bread. I have steak with buttered mushrooms and a green salad with oil and vinegar, omlete's with cheese and sausage -- I use splenda! I have not found any no carb soda -- I drink water and decaf coffee.

Oh my God! I am really upset right now!

Congrats on the 6 pounds, I'll be back after I slit my wrist..........

What am I doing wrong?

Dot Matrix

Wacky It has now been a week for me. Monday thru Monday. Aren't I suppose to see some movement on the scale? GEEZ!

Sudo- How are you doing so far? Are you peeing on sticks?

Act2 - I am A= blood. I think I am eating too much meat on this Atkins for me. But I am giving it at least 2 weeks to see about it.

I reread this thread looking for the candy bar and can not find it. IT was good and low carbs? I was going to write that person and ask where to buy it -- now I have to ask you to repeat its name as well!

Abagail - I have been avoiding the hot dog thread.

Thanks Wacky and my 3 cents!

Dot Matrix

Kit and Lindy - thanks!

Wacky Fun:

I must have missed that chapter or flipped past it....pee sticks? Where do you buy them and what are they called? WOW! I have been peeing right in the toliet no sticks here! Bad Bad Dot!

His fruit stuff is so small though -- like a 1/4 cup of berries -- what is that? 8 berries?

I am a big fruit consumer -- I miss my banana and strawberry, OJ smoothie!

Rottie:

You were very clear. I was just ignoring the weight thing because I am lazy and do not want to do that. You are not pushing. I am pretending I do not have to do any excercise

and Weight lifting sounds like something that committed gym people do. I am so not into it. Rottie I am not like you. I hate to sweat.

I know that is part of the problem but I guess I do not want to look at it right now. I even have purple little dumb bells and wrist weights.

You are wonderful Rottie! I am a bad girl!

Thank you!

Dot Matrix

Cup of Coffee

Happy B-day!

I just recently found out about private nessages via Hope's thread. I found one from you! I am so sorry I took so long!

I am in Snellville!

Bless you!

Congrats on the kitty!

Sorry, the pictures here are of available dogs at the rescue -- they are not mine. I have tried to post a picture from my computer on here and I can not figure it out. I was able to post one from a web site- in this case the rescue.

They are cute! If anyone is still searching for a doggie or two!

I love the name Oreo for the kitty. Let us know when you pick a name. It is half the fun as someone else mentioned....

I am going to try my picture again...

Steve - I am very sorry! I think I am in okay health. My problem is that I had a hysterectomy and the gave me hormones. The Dr. gave me something like 8 times the amount I should have had.

But I did go to an internist and they said the Over Dose of hormones may have messed up my metabolism a bit.

What a shame your wife tried so hard to just have all that happen to her. It must have bee very depressing for her. I have less to loose than she did and it still bothers me. Bless her heart.

God Bless you Steve. I am sorry for your loss.

Rottie: Thanks for the info I think I may get a Richard Simmons video and a yoga one. I do like to swim and was swimming early this year 3 times a week.

2 life - glad to hear about how well it worked for you. I bought some Atkins bread which is the WORSE tasting bread I have ever eaten. I can not believe where carbs are -- carrots have them, banana's are loaded...

I miss fruit.

"So tell me, how come all you women are so fat?"

Gosh, that was not a line from How to Win Friends and Influence People :)-->

I am praying but you may want to go to the Doctor. This is a bad flu and has landed people in the hospital.

Praying

Dot Matrix

Those of you in search of small dogs?

Look at these:

http://www.boxerrescue.com/availabledogs/O...ulietPA1002.JPG

These are available through the Boxer rescue (I don't know why.) Cute little Shi- tzu's aren't they?

Dot Matrix

Geoy- I am so sorry about your dog! 19 years old!! That dog did not want to leave you!!!

Socket --Beagles are nice and can be an inside dog. They are sure full of energy and sometimes chew! If you like the beagle you really may want to chek the Boxer they are GREAT family, inside dogs that live to give love. They are medium sized. (I am with you. I would never get a Pit bull -- why risk it?)

Look at Emma 1 1/2 yr old Boxer needs a home

Rosie was a breeders dog and is gorgeous and needs a home

Hope: I have only seen one Bansenji - aren't they the dog that does not bark? And Westie's are adorable!

Dot Matrix

Rosie LOVES kids!!!! She is in New York.

SOCKET:

Found this about kids and Boxers:

"The American Boxer Club , the parent club of the American Boxer, developed a Standard that describes what the ideal Boxer should be. However, we think the ideal Boxer is the one who becomes a full-fledged family member, whether champion-bred or not. Boxers are definitely the clowns of the canine world! They are intelligent and resourceful and just a touch strong-willed, which means they are not the right dog for everyone. They are listed as one of the best breeds with children - usually #1 or #2 on such lists, along with the Golden Retriever"

Shell-

I do not have any kids. But I know when hubby has one meatball left -- rather than toss it or take the time to wrap it up-- I am tempted to and have eaten it!

Dot Matrix

Simpleton

I reread it. Ya know I may wantto get ny thyroid checked as she did at the end of the article.

She looks great! Even at a size 14 I think she said she is.

Dot Matrix

Thanks for all the good hints and tips.

I will prolly so Atkins for 2 months and give it a shot and yes, Sudo I do not think it is a good diet for the long haul.

PMosh - I do like the Japanese style eating so maybe I will adapt that after the weight is off.

Act 2 - I am an A+ and apparently that IS the Japanese kind of eating!!!

Abagail- I threw out my salt shaker about 9 years ago. I like the idea of 5 small meals a day rather thatn 3 larger ones - thanks! I do drink LOTS of water! I love your step #10. At dinner I try to be a lady... I love it! Cause around pizza I think I have not been ladylike but rather I eat a "Jethro" size portion!

Zix- How true to wait until one is actually hungry. I do think eating has become mechanical to me. I like the half a piece of pie tastes as good as a whole one!

Also, do you think it is all the preservatives in American food vs. Italy? I can not drink beer in the USA as I turn red and find it hard to breath. But in Canada I can drink a LaBatt's and I am fine. Someone there told me we put preservatives in our food/drinks that other countries BAN the use of! That some cerial companies in the US actually make a different cerial to be exported! I do not know if all that is true. All I know is I can drink beer in Canada.

Rottie I love Richard Simmons 'cause he is so real. He does not have a bunch of slender models exercising but he has real people. He has some huge woman out there sweating to the oldies that can not do some great "Hollywood" type dancing. I do like his stuff. Maybe I will get his video. I have also thought about yoga. Has is that for weight loss? I figure if it is relaxing and I can loose weight iit would be like a 2 birds-- 1 stone type of thing.

Simpleton- That site reminds me of a book I read about 20 years ago called "Sugar Blues"

I will reread the info on your site. Sounds a little like Atkins about sugar.

Thank you

Larry P - Well, your weight maybe the same because of all the head hair you lost...

(Why are woman so fat? Grrrrrrrr)

Ex- I will help you kick his ars... :)-->

Bookworm - you are right about that! Whenever I get lazy and eat lunch out at work -- I have horrible weight gaining results. Just gets so time consuming making it all -- ya know? But yeah, that is a great point.

Thanks

Anymore diets?

Dot Matrix

QQ

I am laughing! That was really funny!!!!

Dot Matrix

Okay it is time to peel off the pounds! I am excited... However, since taking HRT it has changed my relationship with food.

Let me smell a doughnut and boom -- I gain a pound.

I did WW in the past when I had to struggle with 10 -15 pounds and it worked! But then HRT and the magic of WW did not work.

I tried the low cal thing but my body goes into protection mode and thinks I am starving.

Did the cabbage soup thing -- okay for 10 days but who can eat that forever?

Now, I am trying the Atkins low carb thing. So far so good. But I have trouble with a diet that does not endorse fruit or vegatables...

The upside is I eat cheese burgers (no bun) dripping in buttered mushrooms..... Mmmmm not bad eh?

I did do one that was high protein and you only ate certain veggies and fruit.... But as many veggies as possible.... I LOST before but now I can not find the diet.

Who is out there doing what?

Dot Matrix

AF- Good observation

DJanet - I do not recall that series, maybe it is on the site that was mentioned in one of the previous posts by Steve

Zix - Okay, now we all know you are way better looking then Mr. French! Afterall, you are a star! So, I get the conversation and it was not a reference to anything people ever said to you.... Sorry....

Dot Matrix

Frank:

my parents have a 10 pound yorkie/pom or a dangzu/pom(unsure) it is the cutest smartest little thing!!! Everywhere they go people ask them what kind of dog is that? We want one....

Some of those mixes are just adorable! And sweet as can be!

Rottie:

What a cute little dog! Looks like a rot!

My French bulldog/chow looks like a little redfox or small chow. If I could figure out this new picture thing I would show you.
