Lynda you did wonderful in the last challenge.

I only lost 2 but I'll take that rather then a gain, gotta be positive.

I'm hoping I do better this time around.

leenie you are soo right!! it is better than a gain, I suppose I am just impatient and wanted to be thin yesterday!!!

As long as it keeps coming of I will be happy but I get worried when I gain, but hopefully I will loose another 10lbs and be into the 14 stone mark!!

Thanks for your words of encourgment lets go for gold !!

I am having a heck of a time keeping my calories low. Maybe its the cooler weather setting in, I don't know, seems like lately I can eat and eat and eat. OY lol.

Guess I better grab this by the horns and make burgers out of it huh.

Good luck everyone, and remember chin up, every ounce lost is success, we can do this

Hugs

OK, I'm in I need to get my weight moving again as I have been static for 2 weeks now so here we go, 10lb lighter for the lot of us.

I must drink water, I must drink water, I must drink water, Imust drink water. Need to get this into my head as not happening just now and probably a reason why i'm not moving.

Good luck everyone

JJ its until October 6th, we try to have challenges that are realistic. I think 2 lbs per week for 5 weeks is pretty safe, but I never seem to be able to keep up with it myself.

I need something to motivate me so even if I lose 1/2 of that, I'm a happy camper

I did really good yesterday, I kept my calories around 1600, carbs were 16

Does anyone know if snacking on black olives is good or bad ? When I go into fitday it seems to be okay.

Hugs and I'm happy that all of you could join in.

Leenie

Hi Leenie!

Well I will be on vacation during that time so that will be a challenge in itself. DH and I are planning on taking a cooler with us with some lowcarb drinks and some things to munch on while on the road.

I'm averaging about 1/2 lb. a week and I'm not counting calories, just the carbs. Oh, and BTW, black olives are legal! I don't remember for sure, but I think you're allowed about 15 a day! I don't ever consume that many except when making pizza, but I sure love 'em.. (p.s. don't tell anyone, but they're suppose to be good for your love life..hehehe!)

Okay, well, I'm up for the challenge! LET'S DO IT!!!!
