Hey everyone. Congrats on everyone losses.
hairpin: you looked great in your costume. let the compliments roll in.
Red: you're almost at 132...hang in there.

Gonna weigh in on the 31st. Wish me luck!

mossygyrl: those cookies probably kicked you out of induction so you wasted 1 of those weeks.

hairpin: any pictures of the mermaid dress? I would love to see it!

Cheers,
H.

hellraiser,
would the cookies have kicked me out of induction if i was still
showing color on my ketosis strips ? (pink still the next day as well as the next....) do the ketosis strips indicate whether or not you are in ketosis and does not ketosis signifiy induction, or do i have it all mixed up?

thanks!

mossygyrl: I think That if the stripes show it, then you were still in ketosis, but eating sugars and starches will REALLY slow down the loosing process for you.

Cheers,

Hi all,

I'm leaving tomorrow for my wedding trip and my wedding on Nov 7. I lost 19 pounds since the begining of my Atkins diet - too bad I didn't find Atkins a few month before or I would have been an even slimme bride... but anyway I'm quite happy with the results and thanks to Atkins and to you all and your sugestions and support I'll be a "normal" bride instead of a fat one! So here's to you all and THANKS!

Keep slimming down, not cheating and proving to the world that Dr. Atkins WAS RIGH!

Please think of me Nov 7 and wish me luck!
Cheers,
H.

Best of luck on your wedding day and beyond! You will make a beautiful bride I am sure. i know one of the other benefits of low carbing for me has been a better complexion. have fun and we will be thinking of you!

Thank you so much woolina.
H.

hellraiser: have a wonderful wedding. i'm sure you'll look priceless. 19 pounds is quite an accomplishment. can't wait until i've lost that much.

tomorrow i weigh in. i'm a little nervous.

rosemam: thank you. I'll do my best. Wait for the pictures.

Cheers,

Hi everyone. Well, here are: Happy Halloween! I'm down to 138, which isn't half bad, considering I got hit with just enough of bronchitis that I didn't want to be outside in the cold.

Hellraiser, all the best on your big day! Can't wait for the pictures!

Great challenge everyone!! I missed my goal by a pound, but felt good and encouraged throughout by all!

I checked the scale this morning and Im down a pound this week. This puts me at 172!!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! This has been a great challenge.

You said it red. Progress...that's what it takes. Congrats to everyone on their successes....WE DID IT!!! Thanks for all of the support. I weighed in today at 145. So that's 8 pounds. Woohoo. My clothes are fitting much better and I can't wait until I lose another 8.
