I hate to think I may have to wait another year to join a health club,
but I guess you're probably right. I've been checking those links
about the exercises that I was given, and am going to add those to my
daily regimen as soon as my doc clears up this nasty problem I'm
having. Hopefully today. Then I can heal up and exercise without pain.
Yay!

Wow. Amazing transformation, Nicole.

Thank you... and you, too, Cubit. I saw your comment, too. I *do* look
like a different person. People I haven't seen don't recognize me.
Some I "re-introduce" myself to. Others I don't 😉

Truly impressive Nicole, very good job. Your family must be
proud of you.

Thanks JJ. Most of them are. Unfortunately, the one I'd like a "good
job" from hasn't said much... and that's my husband 🙁

But *I* am proud of me and *I* feel good and that's what ultimately
matters, right?

If he does not clear you right away, you might be able to work around
it. :-)

Nicole {Freezing in Wisconsin} said:

Ugh... it's not something I planned. I wanted to lose this last weight
much slower, and it's weird. All of a sudden my carbs are up and my
weight is shooting down. I don't get it.

This shouldn't be surprising at all. It is the core idea
of Atkins that every person has a custom tuned level that
gives the best loss and that it usually isn't at the
initial 20. This idea gets the acronym CCLL. It is
obvious that less carbs should always give more loss but
obvious does NOT equal true. Sometimes the truth is
quite different from the obvious.

Quoted message said:

It may be that over the past
month I've gone off an anti-depressant I've been on for a LONG time...
perhaps it was one that slowed loss?

Now you have changed 2 variables so you don't know
which one to credit. You *want* to credit that
change in meds. Is that because you resist the core
idea of Atkins that there is an ideal level for loss?
Don't rush to credit the meds. I've gotten lots of
resistance over the years and I've also got lots of
kudos from the folks who tried what I suggest (and
I suggest what the Aktins process is, all 4 phases
of it).

Quoted message said:

Either way, I'm upping 10 grams
per week according to the pre-maintenance plan on Atkins. Just
basically adding veggies I haven't had in a long time... and some
fruit.

That sounds like what my OWL was. My CCLL is 50
total so I lose better at 50 total than at either
40 or 60 total. At 40 my big difference is less
variety; at 60 I'm out of ketosis.

Quoted message said:

I'm concerned that I'm not leveling quick enough to stop when I
hit my goal weight. My doc does not want me under 130 under ANY
circumstances. That gives me 7 pounds of play under my goal weight,
but it still makes me nervous.

If your goal weight is your ideal weight, then there
is nothing to worry about. The Atkins Nutritional
Approach tends to push people towards their ideal
weight. Folks well under tend to slowly gain if they
do the entire process. A very small number keep
dropping below their goal.

You are doing great.

Well, husbands can be schmucks at times. (I'm glad I don't
have one :-)

Seriously, not knowing your or your husband I could only
offer unfounded conjecture on why you aren't getting what
you'd like from him in terms of recognition of your
progress. I have lots of ideas but they remain pure
conjecture nonetheless.

Out of curiosity, have you asked your husband what he
thinks?

weight)
Atkins since Sep 1, 2003

1, 2, 3...98, 99, 100. Done!

Unfortunately, some of our big loosers are no longer posting here. Dr
Bill, K in Cali, Turkeylady, GrizzlyJake, Myra. I haven't seen any of
them here. My biggest loss was about 180, but I don't brag because I
regained about 60 back and have to work it back off.

Some of the health clubs have a day care room - if it is only an hour or so
at a time - it shouldn't be too bad.

I've begun treadmilling again, and doing arm exercises, although my
speed is a bit slower right now. The um... problem... is something
kind of personal that I don't want to post here, but it's slowly
getting better.

Yep... all I get is "you look nice". So I give up!

Sorry about the slow replies.

Thats cool.
Sounds to me like "patience" is the key here.
