Well, I have to thank the members on the forums and groups here for getting me back on track. After doing the week with only ONE Atkins product I have gotten back on the weight loss track by going down 3 lbs! That's a total of 12 lbs since I started the first week of November. I am so pleased. This is part of the reason why I like weighing-in only once a week because I get to see the big results (or in the case of last week the big gain...). But, that's over, and I am back on track. I am hoping to be under 210 by the time I see my family on December 27, 2014. I hope I can do it. I think it is a reasonable goal. I am so pleased with the Atkins WOL.
Btw, last night my fiance' made me some low-carb chili. We used a pound of ground beef, a can of Ro-Tel, one packet of chili seasoning, and a small can of tomato sauce. It was so yummy. It was definitely a nice change from all of that grilled chicken I've been having, lol. And, the good thing is that I still have 2 servings left over. The biggest pain though was calculating all the nutrition facts per serving. My fiance' thought that we would just have to track the NC, but we also had to track fat, calories, and protein. So, we sat there with a calculator and all the nutrition facts in front of us, and we did it! It was frustrating, but it was all worth it when I stepped on the scale this morning.
Since I've started my new job I've been more active, which should help the weight loss. Plus, I won't have all the free time to snack all day (even if it is low-carb snacking). The only thing that's difficult is all the temptation. With it being a retail store around the holiday season I have been stocking all kinds of holiday goodies like boxed chocolates, Peep Snowmen, Hershey's Kisses, and the like. But, one thing that stops me is that this WOE is working (plus I don't want to spend my whole paycheck on candy, lol). But, overall I think the new job thing is a good thing for me. I needed to start getting out of the house. I need the socialization away from the isolation of our farm. The farm is nice and secluded, but no neighbors, and being 20 minutes from town makes it a solitary WOL.
Anyway, I am happy with my loss, and I plan to stay on track. I <3 the Atkins WOL, and I <3 the Fatsecret community for helping me out when the going gets tough!
