There's so much conflicting information out there ... what we're supposed to expect ... the fluctuations in our bodyweight. <br />My question is ... how are you feeling?? This isn't for everyone but since you've been more or less doing it since 2009, I'm assuming you feel pretty good on it. <br />I'm a firm believer in higher protein ... did the Atkins diet in 1997 ... never felt better.<br />Congrats for fighting back and not giving up. Keep it up girl! you can do this :)Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00841951459550135685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-32970131198799069492011-07-09T17:11:55.179-07:002011-07-09T17:11:55.179-07:00That's not my kitty, Robin.

Is this an image you grabbed of the web somewhere?

I could be so discouraged I would give up at the FACTS of no loss or a gain when I felt I didnt deserve it. I'm 6 months into a never ever not ever weigh diet and have thrown away the scales forever. I don't have a clue how much I've lost....but I couldn't care less. The scale DOES lie but the camera isn't. Go look at my before/now photos on my blog and tell me the scales were necessary! I do know its a bit of a whacky thing to do and really not for everyone, but its working for me<br />DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149197584864926085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-45862926601722638692011-07-08T23:39:49.046-07:002011-07-08T23:39:49.046-07:00Thanks Robin.

Since I already have a prior commitment with some friends where we weigh in each Monday, I'll do this: I won't take ANY more sneak peeks... only the "official" time on Monday mornings.<br /><br />Thanks for the nudge!Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-57720214113680843762011-07-08T21:15:07.206-07:002011-07-08T21:15:07.206-07:00The real enemy here is the siren song of the scale...The real enemy here is the siren song of the scale. To me, it seems sensible to stick with the low carbs and counting for two weeks. Then, and only then, weigh yourself. How 'bout that? Can I get you to make a commitment?<br /><br />Thanks so much for your recent comment on my blog. I always look forward to reading whatever you write, because it always makes perfect sense to me.<br /><br />Six pounds always feels so devastating... wish I could give you a big hug right now, especially for your research and following determination to continue the cruise, give it a good shot!PeacefulBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09115778928757133796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-30695254739128185062011-07-08T16:54:58.286-07:002011-07-08T16:54:58.286-07:00My body lies to me, too.

What a terrible shock that number on the scale must have been!<br /><br />I give you much, much, much credit for pushing on. <br /><br />I wonder if, with the addition of the protein, you have added some sodium. Perhpas unaware-you may want to check some lables.<br /><br />There's an answer.

I'm not one to waste money, so I just used it. <br /><br />I actually noticed I had more energy when using the 2% and less hungry. I use milk in my coffee. But I really noticed a difference in my workouts.<br /><br />So, I'd say there's something to that low carb thing and higher proteins and the like. I've also noticed a difference when I eat more protein.M Paxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096697282530998519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308288649463011906.post-88798584996030664932011-07-08T11:50:33.518-07:002011-07-08T11:50:33.518-07:00I cant listen to my body either.
