I lost 1 lbs and am REALLY happy about it :). Really! I've been stalled for about 3 weeks. This past week, I cut out all caffeine and aspartame. I just read in a post that Splenda can stall too. Some people are using Stevia instead. I'm going to try no Splenda and see if I lose more.

Besides I feel fantastic and people at work are noticing that I'm losing. Have a great week #2. I know I will :wave:

yay!
 

Congrats Lisa!

Wow, recognition of weight loss...gotta love it. Have a strong 2nd week! :D

So happy for you.. :)

BB.

Weight and or/size at start of lc plan 255 - size 22/24 short
Current weight and/or size 251 - size 22/24 short
Goal weight and/or size 200 - size 16-18

My March Goals are as follows: Lose 10 pounds, drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water a day, and do some form of exercise at least 3 times a week. This is a great idea!

Challenge Starting Weight:251
Todays Weight:249
Pounds lost: 2

I don't know what my measurements were at the start of the challenge, but since I started LC I've lost 2 inches off my waist. I haven't measured everything else.

Goals met so far: 1/5 of my pound goal gone! Meeting the minimum requirements of water a day, and then some, and twice this week I've been in the garden.

yay!

WTG Gladehaven!!! :yay: :cheer:

no change in inches but down 2 pounds...every little bit helps

When I started on 1/1, I hoped by a 25 lb loss by the end of the first quarter...in other words, a 25% loss to 220...Looks like I might have been a little optimistic but a 4 week stall didn't help!
We shall see

Anyway, I remind myself that Atkins is NOT a quick weight loss diet, but a life long plan for people who don't metabolize carbohydrates properly. I like the food and I CAN DO THIS!

oh yes, I did take at least a mile walk everyday

Hey BB!
 

:) ;) Just wanted to say thank you for your encouragement. You're awesome! :) :)
:angel:

Oh NO!!!! I forgot today was friday so I did not weigh or measure myself. I will do first thing in the am and post. :( Sorry guys!!!!

:D Hey Challenge buddies!

Is it really better to weigh myself in the AM? I forgot to this morning and I just walked in from work and weighed in, will it really vary that much?
Pleased with this weeks results, I definitley have to measure myself, but have not had time so far. Well, one down, four to go!!

Start of Challenge(7 days ago): 168

This evening: 163

I will still weigh in tomorrow morning to see if that number changes. Good Luck everyone!! :wave:

Soething's better than nothing but I'm not done yet!

I have done incredible on water and exercise!
I've alternated weight training/cardio circuit 3 days a week with

Plus one night of spin class.
I feel like I am walking better and with nicer posture.
Not that I had trouble walking before :lol: but I just feel better!
