Hello Everyone!!

Have only been new to the boards for a couple of weeks and I just discovered the challenges. I was wondering if it is not to late to join you all in this adventure? My current weight is 205 and I'd like to lose 25 lbs. by July 4th. So my goal is 180. Keep up all the hard work you all are doing!

Also, I have a few other questions. Is there a weigh in day and where do I post? How do you get those banners that say how much you've lost? I think they are just awesome!!

Welcome DEBRN I think everyone just posts on their normal weigh in day. I finally get to change my stats in the right direction. I'm down three pounds.

I kind of fell off the wagon for a few days....back on track now plus a two pound loss! It's time to get serious and get back in to the exercise routine again. I haven't done any kind of regular exercise in a month! Ugh....

Checking in with another .5 lb loss. Had to wait a few days to ensure it was sticking. At this rate, I won't make my goal, but at least they are losses!

Hi again... I just wanted to report in and say I've been walking 40 minutes daily and staying on the straight and narrow with my meals. I won't weigh again till July 4th.... another challenge I'm taking on. I was using the scale.... or maybe it was using me hehe. But I'm a lot happier not worrying about the scale.
Thanks for listening
Jen

Hello,
I wanted to post my weight today, because I usually weigh every other Friday, but I guess I will weigh in every Friday to keep all of you nice people updated on my progress. I got on the scales this morning and I had lost another 5 lbs!! Soon I'm going to get to onerland and I can't wait!! But for now I will have too.

Well, I don't know what happend tto me. I've been TERRIBLE and I'm so MAD at myself. That's what I need...a big knock in the head!!!

I hope you don't mind if I JUMP BACK IN on this challenge

My goal WAS to stick to my low carbing and get to my goal by my 50th birthday, which is just 2 days prior to July 4th!

Everyone on here is DOING GREAT!!!!

I feel like such a failure. I was almost in the 6's and BLEW IT.....I'm at 177...which means I've gained 6 SIX . .yes SIX pounds by SLACKING OFF.... I know that AF is here this week...but STILL...nonetheless....those numbers are there

I don't know what got into me...but I'm BACK on track. No more "treats." In order to TREAT myself now, I've got to get to the 6's! When I say treats, I mean those low carb candy bars, etc. I KNOW NOT to eat them.. as many as I was...b/c CALORIES do count when eating those things!

Its good to see that everyone has been doing so well

I've decided that I'm checking back in here every single day. I've found that if I don't I CHEAT!

So....I'll see you all tomorrow!

Catbird,
Welcome Back!! I'm so glad you saw the light and got yourself back on track.!!

Stop being so hard on yourself. A slipup is certainly not the end of the world. In the words of Dr. Phil..."If after all your planning and good intentions, you do over indulge, don't go on a guilt trip. Guilt is a useless emotion that only weakens your resolve to successfully manage your weight. Get over it and move on."

Remember, giving yourself an occasional treat - within your carbohydrate threshold - is part of your low carb diet approach, which is alright from time to time. Just realize there are challenges ahead, you can't do this for life and always expect perfection.

Have you thought about starting a journal to help keep progress of your low carb journey? It is a great way to meet new people!! The people I have met are so supportive and inspiring. They have really help me in staying motivated with my LC journey.

Best of Luck to you,

Hi All,

Down 1 more pound Yippee! That makes 10 from the time the challenge started.

THANKS DEB for making me feel NOT SO GUILTY!!!

. . and WTG Dewi on yet another POUND!!!

I'm gonna really try to stick with it this week even though AF is here! whaaaaaaaaa!

I do keep a journal but have never "opened" it! Anyway....I'm so glad to see everyone having such great results.

AF is here this week, but I'm not going to get all depressed over what she does...SHE IS A MEAN WOMAN!!!

I'm not even going to step on the scales until the end of the week . . no need it it...I'm bloated and that would only upset me. .so why bother when I know what it does!!!

See you all later today!
