Hi everybody, I'm looking forward to round 2 and started off pretty well again. I guess the secret to my success right now is a meat and egg fast and 2 hours of exercise a day to break the stall i was in. I am in a hurry to drop some pounds because I have my military physical coming up on thursday and I have to weigh less than 197 or else I won't be eligible to enlist. Otherwise I don't know that I could do the meat an egg thing. Drastic times drastic measures I suppose. But anyway, I'm looking forward to round two and good luck to everyone!! (though i'm still going to win!!)

Oh man I know exactly what you mean! I'm doing a slightly modified Protein Sparing Modified Fast - ~140 g of protein and 800 calories a day, with 54 of those calories coming from fish oil pills. Basically, I eat 2 12.5 oz cans of chicken a day, 2 bowls of broccoli, and <1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese. I'm also planning on going into the military, but I need to drop weight first and I'm trying to get it done as quickly as possible too. I mean, I've started Atkins before but never was able to stick with it as long as I have this time...the promise of going into the Army is the only thing keeping me going right now.

You're so lucky!! I don't do well with deadlines. I'm getting married in nov and that's not motivating me to loose more :cry: . I'm just allowing my body to do it's thing. Hopefully I will reach my goal within that time.

UPMichigan Tue, Sep-20-05 10:07

Weighed in at 192.5 again this morning so no movement for me....I will have to kick it up a notch to ensure a win....TEE HEE

Have a great day all!

Akasha Tue, Sep-20-05 10:34

I weighed in at 139 the other day. Hoping to see close to 135 by the end of this week. :)

Noura80 Tue, Sep-20-05 23:30

No change for me today..:sigh:

Jo-Ann 2 Wed, Sep-21-05 03:57

morning
 
Noura, I didn't move on the scales this morning either. I'm still glad to see the 164.5 though. I'll settle for the same weight for awhile, then I'ld really appreciate a big whoosh. How about you guys. Do you prefer the 1-2 pounds a week or do you like the 4 pound whoosh unexpectedly? The whoosh keeps me more honest with my eating.
Jo :wave:

skylee Wed, Sep-21-05 04:29

I also got a little whoosh this week. Looks like it should be another fun race!

Just thought I check in and see who's been moving up and down the list. Sorry for not replying Noura80..yes I should have changed myself to 3rd but it looks like it has been fixed. What a great effort 3lb already what are you doing and are you going to share it with us losers (losers of weight that is :lol: )

Well not much really..just eating clean..exercising and plenty of water like 100oz or so :D.

buff_girl Wed, Sep-21-05 09:38

I guess I'm a wuss, but I think 116 is a bit low for me (I'm sure I've been 116 at some point in my life, but I don't remeber it ;) ). I'm changing back to my original goal (120). Don't want to have an unfair advantage so I'm dropping out. Have fun, Losers (weight losers of course)! :wave:

Fitz0017 Thu, Sep-22-05 18:18

Hello all, I wanted to thank everyone for the helpful advice and support over the last 6 weeks and this challenge specifically. I just came back from my military processing and was 10 lbs under my maximum weight!!! Which is a total weight lost of 35 lbs over the past 6 weeks from 227- 192. I can't tell everyone how excited I am and thankful that I made it. In celebration I must say I did have pizza and a steak and cheese sandwich, but I am fine with that and will get back on track tomorrow. Thanks again everyone and keep truckin!
