I'm checking in a day late, but I think I should be a part of this challenge. I've been stalled for 3 weeks (1week after I lost 10 pounds on induction). I've stayed in induction for the entire time, but have felt a little dissapointed at no more weight loss. So yesterday I slipped up and had a few low carb beers. Can I start a day late? I think this challenge would help get me back on track. I'll have to check back in on Monday though, because I'm at work. I'll be good this weekend!!! Happy mother's day!

Of course you can start late. The important thing is that you follow through.

YOU CAN DO IT, and your body will thank you for it.

Oh man. I committed to this before I knew I was headed down to the beach! I will stay strong, I swear!

Good girl Paris, I know you can do it.

No reports in today, hmmmmmm.... I hope you guys are hanging in there.

I know this may be silly to some, but think about it, Dr. Atkins says in his book....."The body burns alcohol for fuel when alcohol is available. So when it is burning alcohol, your body will not burn fat. This doesn not stop weight loss; it simply postpones it."

Now why would you want to postpone your weight loss. Isn't becoming a healther and lets face it, sexier person a much better feeling. Something I always say to myself to keep me from derailing my weight loss, A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.....

Hope you guys are sticking to the challenge. Cheers!

I haven't had any alcohol in over 6 years, unless you count NyQuil

Great job guys.

So far so good!

Great job Paris.

Soon you'll see that scale going down, down, down.

OK, I haven't had a beer, but did have a bite of real potato salad yesterday. Which is worse? What a weakling. It sure was tasty, but I bet one bite had about 6 carbs since 1/2 a cup has 28! Terrible for me, I'm still on induction!

Great going with no drinking Ricki, step away from the potato salad.

It's hard to give up one thing without replacing it with something else, just find something legal to replace it with.

Hang in there, your body will thank you.

Still booze free!

WOO HOO that is great. Anyone one else?

Keep up the good work.
