Thumbs up Be 8 pounds less by Oct 31!

Hi Lowcarbers!

We did the "Be 20 pounds less by October 1st" and here we are now doing it until the end of the month.

I'm getting married Nov 7 so the end of this month is a really important mark for me and I would like to loose as much as I can.

So let's start it and try to lose about 8 pounds until the end of the month.

The rules are:
- NO CHEATING, as in ZERO CHEATS and no excuses.
- 64 oz water a day.
- 30 minutes minimum exercise a day and no excuse days.
- Straight induction or perhaps a bit more of carbs for those who are not in induction anymore.
- Take your suplements.
- Smile, you are slimmer!

Cheers,
H.

I'm with you, amigos! I need a challenge to keep me motivated!

Hellraiser -- you have an adorable dog! Also, congrats on your upcoming marriage! All of my friends have gotten married this year or are about to, so I feel like a wedding pro

I'm tossing my hat into the ring. I've had the carb creeps off and on for the last couple of months. Carb creeps lead to pound creeps. Time for a reality check!

I have a little dry erase board in my kitchen where my SO and I usually leave each other messages, but I'm going to turn it into my challenge checklist and use it daily. They're handy. You can get them at buck stores.

Hellraiser, I *love* seeing that name combined with a little terrier dog.

PS - do we get to see the wedding pictures?

Kristine -- that's a wonderful idea about the dry erase board! I have one hanging in my living room but never really use it for anything. Right now it has a message on it from several months ago! It shall become my "challenge checklist" as well.

rosemam: this is the no carb way or the fat highway challenge! I'm not sure we'll all loose 8 pounds but we sure are going to give it a hell of a try!

red1cutie: glad to see you in again. Take care in Miami

funnyface: glad to see you with us. The cute little Westie sure is a big hellraiser. It's a bit like carbs, he loks just so inocent but it will drive ou nuts! LOL


Kristine: of course I'll share the pictures... the best ones! Just kidding.

By the way if you both want to see the little Wetie hellraiser the link is:

http://www.mywestie.com

I have my second dress fitting next Friday and I MUST loose at least one or 2 more pounds until then.

Let's all start by stating our weigh and objective for Oct 31.

Hellraiser - weight 151 - Oct 31 - 143

Cheers,
H.

Right-o:

current weight: 143
goal: 137

My real goal is to simply finish this challenge by the rules. As long as I do, I'll have been successful, no matter what the scale says.
