Hi, Smerbear!

So sorry your little guy had all those issues! Those ear problems are SO tough on them!

Hey, you are back with the plan, the forum, and it is only just a little time lost. Life is long (tell me about it!) If it takes a little longer, so be it! The goal is still the same...just takes putting your foot forward, time and again, for a little longer. Good luck...I KNOW you will succeed!

So glad to have you back posting again! You HAVE been missed!

According to my scale at home I started doing Atkins at 238
Today: 214
1st goal: Hitting Onederland (199)
2nd goal: 150 and get invisalign (braces)
Final goal: 130 (at that time I will evaluate and see if I need to lose more)

So total lost as of 8/11/09 - 24 lbs
Total lost since 7/12/09 (the day I had my son) - 48 lbs

***I am so happy I am even lower than I was when I last posted. Smile

Going strong!!!! Smile

Well I have gained 3 lbs in the last 4 days...UGH!!!! I don't know why, as I haven't been off track...however...there are 3 or 4 things I can think of that may have caused this...

***had a couple of the Advantage Atkins Bars and even though they are safe for stage 1 I do think they affect me badly! Sad

***went out to eat a couple of times this week and who knows how much sodium and or hidden sugars were in the food (I had buffalo wings and salads with blue cheese dressing when I went out)
***have worked out very little in the past 2 weeks because I was sick and then I had a lot going on at work and didn't have the extra time or energy to get to the gym.

I really wanted to get off track today but I think instead I am going to go to the gym...have fish for dinner, homemade onion soup for lunch and eggs and bacon for breakfast and hope for the best. Smile

those are all good reason to put on a pounds or 2...don't let it get you down. and good for you for not giving your body a REAL reson to gain!! you are rockin along girl!

seriously - those are good reasons, and ones that will pass quickly! don't get down about it! you are doing wonderfully ("one"-derfully!!!!!!!)

I think the inability to exercise had a lot to do with it. The "whoosh-fairy" will visit ... that is my hope for you!

Hang in there...good to hear from you!
