Heh, Wow you guys are doing great.

Wenzday I loose the same way... stick around a number for a while then loose 2-3#'s. Averages out but it's frustrating.

I won't post my wt till tomorrow as I'm home with a sick son and wt in at work. nearing the end of TOM anyway so one more day may give me a little loss. Forever hopeful that I will get into onerland.

I did alright over the w/e but was really doing the munchy thing and had a big bowl of fresh fruit with my omellette yesterday when we went out... It was really good but probably had some sugar in it as well as pinapple, melon, grapes (gave the grapes away). More than we should have on induction/ OWL but it was an awesome treat. I try not and feel guilty or really count that as a "cheat" as fruit is good for you and other plans allow them. Probably the biggest negative I get from others is that the Atkins in induction and OWL really restrict most fruits. I understand the blood sugar/ insulin theory so I balanced it with a good protien. We will see tomorrow when I wt in... it won't be the fruit though if I gained it will be the sugar free home made chocolate that I pigged out on on Saturday night PMS big time.

201 lbs!!! I lost 4 lbs!

Actually, I am surprised. I am weak on the weekends. They should call them WEAKends. When my dh eats at home, there is always something too good to pass up. I was going to look at the CAD book, as well. Maybe allowing myself a treat, once a week, might take away the feeling that I always want what I can't have.

We have sold our condo, (for more than the listed price!) Now we have an offer on a house nearby, with a huge yard. They will be countering our offer and we should know what their counter offer is by 10am today. I am trying to wait patiently. Only 41 more minutes to wait. (Tap, tap, tap...) We go to the bank today, as well. I just want this to be over. My hubby is much more stressed than I am, though. It's good that he is still sleeping. He tossed and turned, all night.

There are some great losses this week! Way to go. And have a great week.

Lise... fruit is like pure sugar in your system... you will probably gain 2-3 pounds frmo it because your system turns from a fat burning system to a sugar burning system. It could take 3-4 days for it to switch back to a fat burning system. I know fruit is healthier than pizza or M&M's but it has the same effect on your system.

DEFINATELY dont be upset about it but know that you will have a water weight gain. Your body retains water to process extra carbs in a sugar burning system.


Ohh heather congrats!!! how awesome to sell it quickly and for MORE than listing price AND soon be getting a house with a yard! we are in our first house. 2 months now--its very exciting!!! cant wait uintil spring. I want a swingset, kiddie pool and sandbox...and most of all.. a VEGETABLE garden!!!!

Another pound down--slow but pretty steady, and 5# in 4 weeks feels really good.
Looking at these stats, we're all doing a great job! Hang in there, people--we'll make it!

I am sooo sorry! I forgot to mention that Annie can not sign on here. She is having that problem again.

Everyone has done an unbelieveable awesome job this month on getting a handle on "The New Year, The New Us". Don't forget to look at your weight at the start of the challenge not just last week. Even if there was no loss or a slight gain we still applaud you for trying just as hard as the rest of us. Thank you so much for all your kind and encouraging words to not only me but to each other. It made me want to try even harder. This month I lost the most of any of Annie's challenges starting from September and you were all a part of my success.

Last night my dd and I started a jogging program. My goal is to be able to jog a lap around the track without the need of my inhaler a year from now. This is the program we are attempting to do: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

Hope we all will continue on this wonderful journey in February. Blessings, Maureen

oops beat me with a wet noodle, I forgot too.
Annie-Pie is having a problem accessing the forum once again. She said she will try to get it going this week once more. She said she is proud of each and everyone of you.

Hugs
Nancy

Good morning everyone. Just realized our group lost over 80 lbs. this month. Do you realize thats over 960 lbs. in a year!!!! Have a great day. Blessings, Maureen

you're all doing great. have an wonderful week everyone.

Nikki

Is it to late to join your club?? I've been looking to find lc friends and you all seem great!! I started my diet at the beginning of the year (2004) and have lost about 7 pounds so far. My husband has been lc ing for awhile, after he lost about 25 pounds I figured I better start doing something. We both have about the same amount to lose now,around 75 pounds. I'm new to this site and this is my first post.

ok....I just added in my weight. I've never posted my weight anywhere before. My husband told me about this site, I guess he has joined a couple of threads. I know he is going to check and see if I have joined a group..so....HI HONEY!! Anyway, I am looking forward to knowing everyone. Have a great day,
Anne
