Eight days and no weigh,,in fact, I havent even thought much about it!! i have been really busy working in the yard and on the house, and the fact that it is out of sight may have a lot to do with it. Anyway, cant wait till July 10th to see!!!

I havent looked at the scales yet...Its been hard not to thought.. yesterday I was at my grandparents for a bbq and I went to use the bathroom and as you are sitting on the throne peeing out all the water is a scale staring at me...I almost did it..what saved me was the fact that we were all watching the nascar race and something exciting was happening while I was peeing and I heard everyone yelling so I had to hurry up to see what was going on..everyday I wake and say is it july 10th yet....I am so curious to see the weight I know I have lost something because everything is starting to get loose on me and I have so much more energy....

good luck to everyone else hope you are fighting the scale temptation.

Until later,

Mel

I have been so busy, havent missed weighing .....much .......but still looking forward to July 10th!!
I too have lost inches,,,I wore a suit to church yesterday that I had not been able to wear for months, so I am officially back intoa size 22 from a 24! I have had great energy too, but a lot of that is the vitamins and supplements I am taking. I have created a regimen for myself that is really helping with that, used to be by the middle of the afternoon I was wiped out, now I am still going at midnight!!
Well, great to know someone is hanging in there with me....we can do this,,looking forward to a pleasant surprise on July 10th!!!

Talking I Am So In

OMG! I wish I had found this at the start of your challenge! I have had a terrible time with the scale, and it isn't BUDGING right now. As a matter of fact, I am restarting induction today to see where I went wrong, because I actually GAINED a pound and a 1/2 this week! I am listing everything on Fitday, but I was a little lazy with the frankenfoods. (LC bars, snackies, etc)
BUT my REAL problem is standing on that scale every morning and being BUMMED if it isn't what I want to see. THANKS AND COUNT ME IN!

Welcome welcome!!! And dont be dismayed if you gain a pound or two,,,because as an ancient Atkinser...I know from expereince and other forums that when you lose a bit of weight, your fat cells fill with water for a few days,,,then they will let go and your weight loss will be permanent. Its an up and down journey, this low carb WOE, but hang in there, it works!! And Hide yer scale!!!

what happened to everyone....did you all weigh yourself before you were supposed to.. I came here to see if you were excited yet about weigh in day..but I can see I was the last one to post so I guess I am the only one here who is waiting until the 10th to weigh in. well

Until later
