Hallelujah! I'm down another 5 pounds! Last week, I mentioned staying away from Atkins and other LC Protein shakes, longer, as a way to keep from the suspected stall I thought they were contributing to. I stayed away from them, and my weight has gone down again. I guess it didn't hurt staying below 20 net carbs, per day, for the week either. In fact my average daily net carbs for the week was 13.05g; I know that'super low, but that's how it kinda worked out, and I'm not feeling any ill effects for the experience. I'll be staying away from the shakes, for another week, to see if this trend continues. I also dodged a serious temptation, today, in the way of a delicious cupcake, that was offered to me when a parent brought some in to celebrate their child's birthday, while I was at work today. I thought about it, and then quickly declined; but it wasn't easy. Enjoy the rest of your week everyone. :-)

Congratulations! Yeah, I can't use Atkins products or protein shakes. They just mess me up. I have used them sparingly in maintenance mode, but not when I'm trying to loose. Good deflection on the cupcake!

Good for you!!!! :) Darn nice loss.
Can you zap some of that will power over to me??

Thanks ladies. :-)
Gwen; yeah, I'll bask in the moment, but I recognize it as just that, a moment. I still have a long way to go, and my ultimate goal is to get back to onederland. My Sister-in-law once asked me how do you eat an elephant; and the obvious answer is, "One bite at a time"; so three to five pounds a week is just that, "One bite at a time".
I.W.; if I could "zap" some will power over to you, I would. However, Easter is around the corner, and that's full of some of the biggest temptations of the year; we'll have to see how I do; but since I'm on a roll, I ain't fallin' off the wagon for nothing. I was tested again today when I made a stop at Sam's Club; just as I walked through the door, they were giving out samples of about 3 different kinds of cake, and they weren't being stingy about it; I just kept on steppin' and didn't give it a second thought. :-)

Great job on dodging the temptation. I thinking that I might follow you by staying away from protein shakes for a week and see what kind of results I get. My weight has stalled and I cans't seem to get it to move.

Thanks. A new twist, in all this, is I still have a couple of Atkins shakes in my fridge, and that's the temptation that keeps staring me in the face, but I want to keep away from them as long as the weight continues to come off.
