Hi everyone!
The blackout is finally over, well at least for now. Lastnight we got power back and it has stayed on.
Thanks Hell for the link! Thanks Cathy for your concern.
My rash has gotten a bit better it is still there but no longer itching and less red since I stopped scratching it. Everyday since I started Atkins in February, I drink at least 4 liters of water.
I have decided to cut out chesse since I recently started eating it every day and I will stay away from beef. I have not been eating eggs but I will stay away from stuff that has eggs added in.

I have a date to meet with an old boyfriend the first week of November. Now I'm wondering, What have I got myself into?!!! I am kind of freaking out. Well, maybe this is the motivation I need to kick it up a notch.
I know that it is such a cliche to lose weight for a reunion, but I can't help myself.
have lost about 15 pounds over the summer, and I would like to average a 10 pound a month weight loss between now and november first. Has anyone lost weight that quickly? Tips? How did you do it? I want to lose 25 pounds in two and a half months.
I feel like I am preparing for war.

Welcome AnewLife! Of course you can join, the more the better. It's not a cliche, it's whatever it takes to motivate us to get where we want to be. Typically, the more you have to lose the more you lose per month and even if you don't lose as much as you would like too, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that you do, at least you will be closer to your goal, right? Drinks lots of water. Eat six meals a day--by breaking up your big meals into smaller ones. Exercise, at least 5 times per week. Keep you fat up I keep mine above 70% because I lose better when my fat is higher. Make sure you are getting adequate protein (1g for every 1 pound of lean body mass). Use this site to determine your lean body mass, click here: Body Fat Calculator Measure your hips at their widest point, and your abdomen at the umbilicus (i.e., belly button). It is critical that you measure at the belly button and not at the narrowest point of your abdomen. Take each of these measurements three times and compute the average. Make sure you eat your veggies, that's where most of your carbs should come from. Good luck!
The good news is so far this month I have lost 3 pounds and I am at 146. I am happy.
Have a great Saturday!
Peace
