I will be at my goal weight by then. That is my goal for this December. That would be the best Christmas present ever.

I am at 153 right now, but I am doing a challenge where I only weigh myself once a month, so I won't be updating again until the 15th of July. I hope that is okay.

December 25th Goal: 100 lbs!

Welcome, IateIt! You will definately be able to make that goal if you stick with the plan.

I have done great with Induction so far. My salad that I ordered at the resturant last night had very sugary dressing, but I still believe I stayed around 20 carbs for the day. Incorporating the Warrior Diet into Atkins has worked well for me, though my dear boyfriend doesn't particularly like either aspect of my diet.

Have a nice day everyone!

Hi there,
I'd like to join as well. I need some long term accountability and I think this might be it. My weight as of today is 215.6. I'm hoping to be at least in the 170-180 range by Christmas. Heres to lots of pounds lost!! Cheers!

Welcome to the challenge, Pete and Bluesfan!

I did pretty well today. I allowed myself a helping of low carb ice cream, even though it is a no-no on Induction. I kept my calories low for the day and made sure I went to the gym for an hour.

I am beginning to make going to the gym a habit. I feel so accomplished afterwards and I seriously get in a bad mood if I don't go. lol.

Hi Samantha. I posted the info on the WD in your journal. If anyone else is curious, there is a whole thread dedicated to it in the semi-Low Carb board.

Default I'd love to join!

I'd love to join this challenge...I'd love to get down to 140 by Christmas. I can't really ever remember weighing that little but it would be a great Christmas present . I'm even hoping to take a vacation over our school's winter break so I'll really have something to look forward too!

I'll check-in tomorrow with an "official" number. I was supposed to weigh in for the June Challenge today, but will be doing that tomorrow too. I HATE the scale and just have this feeling after this last week it may not be too good I guess we'll see tomorrow!
