Hi!
I'm fairly new here and looking to find buddies that are in the same boat as I am. I'm on Atkins my second time around and only two months post partum. I know the weight will come off slowly but all I care about is that it comes off. When I did Atkins the first time it was in October and I had to get through the holidays, but I did it without a problem because I was SO SO determined and I keep chanting my MANTRA: NOTHING tastes as good as THIN feels. And its' so true. It keeps me going everyday! So here's my goal:


November 9 - 203

I'd like to be 195 by the end of Thanksgiving.

We'll see!

Jen

Hey ladies, count me in. I am trying to get down towards 130 by New Years (family and friends visiting that I want to blow away with my success ) so I am definitely in for some extra support.


I weighed in on Tuesday so I'll start then:
Nov. 9th: 139
Nov. 16th:
Nov. 23rd: Thanksgiving Goal: 136 lbs.
Nov. 30th:
Dec. 7th:
Dec. 14th:
Dec. 21st: Christmas Goal: 132 lbs.
Dec. 28th:
Jan. 4th, 2005:
Jan. 11th: Goal: 130

Conservative goals I know, but I have been losing very slowly. So hopefully I can just exceed them!

Hello, everyone! Hope you are having nice LC days!

I am down yet another pound today. I can't wait to do my weekly weigh-in. It's going to be awesome to see a change in the scale for once! Two pounds in two days. Wahoo!

good for you! Anytime that scale goes down, even if it's just a pound, is a great success. Keep it up girl! Just think, a box of butter w/ 4 sticks in it is a pound. That's a lot of fat!! And a gallon of milk...that's 8 pounds! And you know how hard those things are to carry out of the store!
