Cassie - No I don't weigh everyday but my weigh-ins are mondays. This Monday was my 1st day I used my new pedometer and so I did weigh in yesterday to see if the extra walking would help kickstart my weightloss again since I was in a plateau the 3rd week on induction phase (I wasnt able to go on those long walks cause all the drama here with you know who coming into my home and then the weather being crappy, then job hunting and I wasnt able to get out to the park with Alyssa for those 3-4 hrs a day for the past week and ahalf). I had great willpower until that plateau last week and then seeing 224 on the scale again really bummed me out today big time. I got down to 221 on monday . Yes I know I shouldn't have weighed but I couldnt help it and thought I would see a good # for all the extra hard work I did. WHen I got home yesterday I had over 7000 steps taken on my pedometer and made myself reach that 10,000 steps. I used the airclimber yesterday while watching tv instead of sitting on my fat butt, ugh gosh just soooo frustrating. My mother is the one who really discouraged me when I told her I was doing atkins again. "you know it only works onetime" so the days I do weigh in when I'm not suppose to I have my mother in my head . 3lbs overnight cant be muscle!

Im going to have to give dh all the batteries from the house and tell him to hide them so I dont weight in . It took me 8 months the 1st time to lose the 80 lbs that I needed to feel and look good and I really trully want to reach my goal before xmas this year. I hate being fat and I know I need to keep on keeping on but that willpower does really come and go.

I just ate breakfast and bathed my girl so now Im going to get our stuff packed and get my butt out before it rains. It's to rain all afternoon again so I dont have much time today to be outside (again). Sorry to vent but Im just so disapointed in myself the last 2 weeks.

Amber I started Atkins induction phase 4/14 and next wed will be 1 month on the diet and now so far only 10 lbs lost . I shouldnt compare myself to the 1st time on the diet but in 1 month I lost 25 lbs.
