I haven't posted here in ages, but I read here quite often and I am so impressed with the accomplishments you guys have made! Congratulations to you all!
Anyway, I started a low carb way of eating a week ago. It's not Atkins - it's something I found on the Muscle and Fitness Hers website. Very low fat, mostly unprocessed foods. The "diet" is made up of four one-week eating plans. You follow the same routine every day for a week and then switch the next week. This is to help keep your metabolism fired up so that your body doesn't get used to eating the same thing every day (and who could eat the same thing every day?)
Today was day one of the new menu. Breakfast - measure 1/2 cup dry oatmeal. Cook with water, add two scoops whey protein (we have vanilla and while it's not a Beaches and Cream shake, it is still ok). Mixed with oatmeal, however, it's gross! I do not know how anyone on Survivor can eat ants, live grubs, boiled tarantualas, etc. I could hardly eat this sticky mess! Tomorrow I am just going to cook the oatmeal with water and eat it plain and then mix the whey with water and have that as a separate shake.
I'm sure all of you have better sense and just stick to foods you know you will like! Anyone have any weird weight loss stories like this to share?
Keep up the great work! So far I'm down two pounds (weighed in at 153). My goal is to get to 140 by March 1st. My ultimate goal is to be a size 8 or 6 and look like a knockout in a bikini! After I reach my goal, there is a maintenance program to follow so that I don't continue to lose weight, but I don't gain any either.
