Roma-girl you just weigh yourself weekly or whenever is convenient, update your current weight, and see how we all progress over the 4-month period. Like petersn78 said it is a sense of accountability.

Thanks, Eric!

I thought it was more complicated than that. Can be I suppose, but this will do me!

You have lost a LOT already! Fantastic!

I have been LC-ing now for 3 months and for now, I don't think I'll ever go back! I love the fact that I don't have anymore cravings and that when I get peckish, I can eat something LC without any guilt feelings afterwards!

I don't hardly overeat either anymore either!

LC is the greatest!

I wish I had found out about it 15 years ago, i.e. BEFORE I piled most of this weight on! But better late than never, n'est-ce pas!

This sounds great to me! I'm on the 10 lbs. by July 4th, but the end of the SUMMER sounds even better to reach my ultimate goal.

Default Terrified

I really would like to join; but I'm so terrified of failure. I go on and off the Atkins diet. My problem is doing without fruits, etc. I do need to lose at least 30lbs. I've lost ove 22lbs and have pretty much maintained it for the past two years. I want to finish the last 30lbs. I know that support is the way to go for me. I've wrestled with my weight all my life, espeacially after I had children and ultimately when I retired from the military and stopped exercising on a regular basis. I start a new job in August as a Kindergarten teacher and want to be a fit role model for the children. Also, my husband returns from being deployed and I want to get rid of the spare tire around my mid-section.

I'd love to join you guys. I've been stalled with these last pounds that need to come off .... I would help having some support. I'm not too worried if the numbers on the scale go down .... as long as the inches with the measuring tape are disappearing.

Juana, the best support you can receive is by joining a challenge .... it's also a great way of meeting people who know what you're going through. Did you want to be added to the list ?
