Pop Tarts sound goooood! :frown: Don't be hard on yourself Georgia! Hey, you were on the go and chicken nuggets aren't that bad of a thing ... there are worse decisions you could have made! Welcome luluc! I've sorta been eating Atkins-style since being banded ... it's only for the past 2 weeks or so that I've been doing this induction phase. I'm not fond of vegetables so most of the time my side dishes contain some sort of cheese. I always did good on Atkins pre-band but the weight would come back when I resumed eating "normally" (which meant going back to drinking regular soda, eating fast food & CHOCOLATE etc...) Well now with the band, I don't drink soda and don't do the fast food thing too much anymore and only allow myself chocolate on special occasions so I don't see the weight coming back, ever ... My band is sorta like my back up :frown:

"Francesco Rinaldi" Original Traditional Pasta Sauce 1/2 C has 80 calories, 3g fat, 12g carbs, 2g protein I made spaghetti for my family and as good as the noodles looked, I decided to have just the meat/sauce mix.

Welcome pharmgirl!

I need to lose 12.6 lbs by the 15th so I have alot of work ahead of me

It's been very hard, especially because lemon is my favorite! (Damn my husband!! ) LOL ... But seriously, I have a mini goal I am trying to reach by February 15th so I'm doing all I can to stay on track. Hope to have no more moments of weakness like I did last night

Sorry the scale went the wrong direction ... today is a new day though so keep your chin up! Even with the darn cupcake (yes, I ate the whole thing) I was still down 4oz this morning ... will be sure to feed the kiddos the rest of the cupcakes today so I don't have to look at them everytime I open the refrigerator I don't plan my menu out, with the exception of my new favorite breakfast (Atkins shakes) so I'll post what I had after I have it Have a great day ladies!

Steak ... I miss it! But as they say, nothing tastes as good as being thin feels ... so I can live without it

That is a great idea!

I couldn't resist, I grabbed a cupcake and took a bite then put it back. Fighting like heck to not go back and finish the dang thing! :eek:

I know exactly what you mean ... I know if I even allow myself to have one of those little cupcakes, next thing I'll be doin' is getting into the frosting and eating it by the spoonfuls :wink2:

Oh geez ... my husband just made lemon cupcakes and they smell so good! I'm being strong though! I refuse to ruin this week's progress! :wink2:

I did so good yesterday ... and was only down 2oz this morning *sigh* :wink2:

Same here ... counting calories doesn't work for me, but the low carb "diet" always has so it's what I do.
