Dear Annie,

Count me in. I saw that post and also wish them well, but didn't want to make myself nuts. I am doing the 100 mile challenge already. Don't want to get discouraged if the goals are too high. Had my daughter hide the scale last night. I'm becoming obsessed with it. Was getting on it 6-8 times a day. Totally agree with you that its better to be consistent then do lose fast. Blessings, Maureen

Count me in as well, I have about 50 + pounds to lose, and once I lose it I want it to remain lost lol.


My name is Chyna nice to meet you all.

Hi Chyna,

What a beautiful name. It would be so great to lose the weight and keep it off! Where in IL do you live. My inlaws are in St. Charles. Glad you joined the challenge.

Annie, Hope your doing well and having a blessed day.

I am finding it more difficult not getting on the scale then I am staying cheat free. Also trying to rely on God for the strength not to be discouraged. My clothes don't feel any different either. But I'm reminded of when Peter asked "Lord what about John" he answered "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?" He has different plans for each of us and it is in his glorious time. Blessings, Maureen

Hi friends! Thanks, Chyna for joining us. I love the fact that we have each other to be accountable with. My hubby asked me last night what I was doing, and I said, "Talking with my support group." It is SO important! (And noe $12 a week fees)!

Maureen thanks for the reminder that we need to be concerned with our own selves. I needed that. It is easy to see others losing faster. Becca replied to me last night and totally encouraged me. She had stayed stuck at 150 for the longest time. But she didn't give up. So I need to stay with it too.

I don't know where the 5# came from, but I have put it on the profile now.

Chyna, you have a pretty name, never heard of it! Tell us about it please?

Enjoy your day...it is supposed to be 88 here today. All the clothes are on the line and there is a nice cool breeze. So much to be thankful for.
Annie

I'll join you guys, I had been losing about 2 pounds a week but for the past month its been more like 1 pound so I think 5 pounds is reasonable (6 would get me into a new first digit) but I'll keep track with you guys.

Dear Fishie,

Welcome. You're are doing such an awesome job. Keep up the great job. Blessings, Maureen

Let's be honest...
Do any of you have a hard time fitting in your 3 cups of veggies each day?

I love 'em, but it is just so hard to eat them with this heat we're having. No appetite!

Any suggestions?

Hi everyone I'm just checking in and thanks to everyone for welcoming me. This is my 3rd day <I started 9/2> so I may be behind you guys. As far as the three cups of veggies, I don't measure what I eat <I know bad! bad!> . I bought the prepackaged salad and yesterday I just ate a handful. Sometimes I'm sure that I go over my daily allottment and some days I'm sure I don't eat enough veggies but I am not overly concerned with that. It's just great to me that I have been able to stick with it for what will be my 3rd day lol. I'm a daily weigher as well and I need to stay off of the scale. I have 3 of them lined up in a row and they all give me different weights but when I put my 10 lb dumbbell on them they are accurate...imagine that. Anyway, I'm not really feeling too great today because it is that time of the month UUUGH!!!! but I did use my Keto sticks today and they were dark purple <doing happy dance>
I have been drinking my water <and running to the bathroom every minute as well> but I haven't done any exercising. I will start that next week. What is everyone else doing as far as workouts and do you find that it has sped up your weightloss?

Hope you ladies have a wonderful atkins day!!

You can count me in too. I would like to lose another 5 lbs this month. I lost one so far...LOL! My problem is that I do well during the week and then on the weekends, I eat too many carbs and then I spend the week low carbing to take it off again. It's been a viscious cycle for me for months. My challenge for me will be making it totally on plan over the weekend. At least I'm maintaining the weight I did lose!! Ha, Ha

I usually eat a large salad every day if the meal does not contain any veggies in it. There is easily 3 cups of lettuce in my salads. I have been eating stuff cabbage all week, so if I eat 3 of them, then I'm sure I'm getting 3 servings..

Hi, please count me in for this challenge! I don't have time to chit chat now, because I need to run to Walmart to get school supplies for my son - due tomorrow... found out TODAY... grrrrrrrr...

Good luck to you all... talk to you later!
