GO EGGZ!!!!

I suppose we could have had a mini-mini-challenge??..LOL..

let see.. the next mid-month holiday (for May) would be Mothers Day.
If we are sticking to mid-month.. that would be about right.. then Fathers Day...
but if we go longer.. say to Memorial Day.. then July 4th would be 5 weeks after that??.. and that would be keeping with the 5 week, then 5 week thingie..


what does everyone think??

it doesn't matter which way to me .. as long as we stay on with the challenges.. (even though I B-L-E-W it today... went 'off-plan)

dianna

GypsyAngel.. you are amazing!!.. I could no more remember all that stuff that ppl talk about in here.. especially after the 'page is turned'.. I love reading about it.. I love celebrating for them as I read... but to remember and talk about it.. ALL OF IT AT THAT!!.. is just amazing..

If we want the next holiday to go 4 weeks after Easter, we could use Mother's Day. It is a thought. Or I am good with Memorial Day and then 4th of July. Actually I am good with anything! Just happy to be here.

Wow GypsyAngel, thanks for the personal attention! I actually weighed in this morning at 398.8, but because I fluctuate with water so easily, I am going to wait until Friday's weigh to add it to the challenge and change my stats.

Boy, things are hoppin on this thread. By the time I posted the above post there were 3 or 4 more posts that came on while I was writing. That is great!

LOL! I cheated with my replies.... I had a second browser window open and checked it as I went along. To me, getting to know people and cheering people on is the best thing about the challenges so I try to keep up on people's posts! I missed a couple days so I had to back track!

Happy Monday all,

When I posted the above message, I meant that April 1 was close, not that Easter was April 1st!!! OOPs sorry to confuse some people, I guess my bad. Just seems like the months are flying by! I am still wondering if we are going to have all of our packing (to move) done by the 1st!!!

Nothing has changed for me so far this week same weight. I did the M/E for 5 days lost only 2 lbs last week, which was the same amount that I had been losing average on Atkins and happily, so I am going back to that plan!
Sure did miss my salads and vegees.....

Welcome newcomers and good luck all!
Annie

Hi....

I need the help of a challenge.... currently 242 and would like to be to 227 by Easter for a 15 lb loss....

I had been all the way down to like 177 and really let myself go... have no idea why... I felt better lighter...I liked how I looked better.... punished myself for some reason but am trying to get better and return to where I was

Good job Fauna, Southbel,Dianna9234 and any other losers I may have missed out there! Good start! Nice to see someone moving the scale!

GO EASTER EGGZ!!!

Hi!!! Nice to see everyone this morning. Boy TDC seems to be hoppin now for some reason. I guess that "where is tdc going" post really made us get in gear.

GypsyAngel - We used to do that in our buddy posts on one of the other threads I was in. I liked it alot...just listing whomever and replying to them. It was very personable. I ALWAYS had to have two browsers open, alot of the times it was going back a page or two lol. Alot of times even now I'll still highlight the persons name or bold it or something. Like im doing yours!

I dont particularly care which holiday we use...I guess Mothers day is good. Keep about the same time frame as the others so far.

Hi Tanikova and welcome! Yes we still have room to join in. Ill go ahead and add your stats in on our team - Your a Bean now!

NJ on the loss so far Fauna I weighed in this morning and was up a few lbs like my normal Mondays. Thats exactly why I cant weigh in on Monday. I think I retain water over the weekends from bad eating (pork rinds and stuff) while at work. Its so hard to be able to eat healthy when your stuck at work 16 hours a day. I have to just have whatever I can grab to bring.

Hey Kidz!

Gypsy go ahead and bring my avvie with you to your stylist I'm flattered that you like my 'do! I'm actually in need of a touch-up/trim. My stylist is the owner's daughter... and she goes for all the newest training, but because she's the newest person at the salon, she's the cheapest. I say "can I get a hoo-hah"

I was naughty for most of the weekend... but I didn't gain <insert looming music here> That's never happened, and I think it's WEIRD. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow.

Wow... there's a lot of new folks on the challenge!! That ROCKZ!!

okay.. i have to confess... someone tell me I am gonna be okay... I was stupid.. I went 'off-plan'.. I gained 3 pounds..
I tok my father out to a steak dinner.. I was sooo good.. meat.. and squash.. no bread.. no potato.. then after a couple of bites.. I realize my steak is cooked incorrectly..(aLOT incorrectly) .. my waitress takes is back (I never send food back, but my daughter insisted), and the chef comes out with a new steak and an appology... so far so good.. then about 5 minutes later .. he comes out and presents us with this fabulous dessert.. it is called nacho sundae.. flour tortillas, fried then dipped in sugar/cinnamon, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate sauce.. I am ohh-ing, and ahh-ing.. still thinking I am gonna be good.. and he sits down (and the waitress stands there).. and they are appologizing again.. and tell me.. eat, eat,.. it is our specialty.. we are sorry.. etc..etc.... so I did.. and then I did again.. and even through there were 3 of us there.. i ate about 1/2 of it... i didn't feel bad.. until after it was gone.. then I thought.. oh sh*t.. what the heck have I done.. now I feel bad.. and I had a gain..
I am back on plan this morning.. and trying to push the water.. but boy.. am I having cravings.... shoot..... BANG

I am gonna be okay.. right??.....yes!.. yes I am...
but I AM mad at myself..

dianna

Dianna, I seriously doubt the one dessert did that much damage. Don't worry, you'll be back losing again in no time. I have done this before, but unfortunately, I didn't get back on plan so quickly. However, the saying "what have I done." Yep, been there, done that. You'll be fine, although dealing with the cravings is a real pain.

You could have always told the chef that you were diabetic (for future purposes) and then he probably wouldn't have felt the least bit offended.
