One Month Anniversary
Hi All,
Today is my one month anniversary as an official Lo-Carber. I started at 200, and currently 186, and look forward to 140. I also have my eight year old son on a modified version. Basically, he just does not eat sugar or any processed food. He still drinks milk, and eats fruit. I am really proud of him! He has lost 8 pounds and 10 inches! He goes on walks with me and has more energy. He went to a Birthday party, passed on all the junk food (they did not even have any diet soda!) He passed on the cake and ice-cream as well. We talked about it before hand, and he took a diet soda, and a lc bar to eat as his treat. We also planned an evening off for the next night. It went well, neither of us went overboard, but it was a tad difficult for me to not want to carry on. We will save our planned meals off for very special occassions.All and all, I feel so much better eating this way. I am really sensitive to bread and doughy things, and definitely do not miss the inevitable tummy ache after consumption. Oh yah, I forgot to mention I have lost 11 inches as well. This works, is definitely not a temporary fix, and is our way of eating! Blessings to all, Jeano |

Congrats. I hope you never have to do the first month over again. It
really does get easier with time, doesn't it. |

I too have a very irregular cycle: anywhere from 27 to 38 days. Before
LCing, I never noticed water gain, 'course I wasn't looking that closely either. Now, starting about a week before Aunt Flo comes to town I gain about three pounds with a one week stall before that (ovulation, I think). Then about one or two days after 'she' leaves, a three or four pound loss. Go figure. I've been averaging about 2 pounds per week, but not at all linearly.

Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of that, but I'd really love to know what my true weight is. I feel all bloated and gross today. It's my time of the month soon. Never know when exactly but I feel like crap. I'm actually up 0.4lbs since Monday. I'm praying it's not actual fat gain. (Luna, I now know how you felt before weighing in this month. I dreaded it myself.) Have any other women on here noticed any changes in their periods since LC'ing? Today is day 28 for me, nothing yet, which is actually normal for me because mine comes around day 33, 35, and sometimes even around day 40 or so. Last month though I actually got it a few days early at day 27. I figured it was cause I'm eating different. Anyhow, just thought I'd post my stats for the month. On with the journey. Maybe I should just go back to bed.

If my period doesn't start soon, I will kill somebody, dip them in chocolate, and eat them. I never noticed cravings before, probably because I had cravings ALL the time. (and to be honest, they're not THAT bad now, I am actually resisting, I just prefer my non-pms times when I have NO cravings) I also never liked chocolate before. (much anyway) Now I'm haunted by it. OTOH, I hardly get any cramps anymore. Which is a good thing! LCing since 12/01/03- Me- 265/226/140 & hubby- 310/249/180 |

Hola,
Congratulations on your first month Atkinsversary!!! You are not alone during the time of the month. I usually gain between 2-5 pounds prior the week of my period. After the period, I lose those pounds, usually a couple extra pounds too!! About your cycle, well, I have always been irregular meaning cycles ranging from 20-40 days... All my life, so it is something that you have to keep checking. Yazaira Member since Oct 03 265/230/154 http://geocities.com/yazaira/dieta |

HOLA Thanks for the congrats, though after yesterday I am slightly disappointed in myself but i'll live and carry on! This is the second time I've had my period on time since I started LC'ing. Kind of disappointed in that too! Oh well. I kind of liked them being few and far between. Thanks again, Monica.-- ______________________________________ Started 01/20/04 362/337.4/250 ______________________________________ "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good." - Unknown? --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
