Okay so another challenge for me - I have to lose weight before going to Vegas again .....have to.....have to.....have to.....

I don't care how much I lose as long as I am lighter than I was last year - so that's 160lbs - Can I do it - Yes I can.

Holiday is June so need to lose at least 1lb a week to hit my target. Anything extra is a bonus!!!

Anyone else care to set themselves this 1lb a week goal and celebrate when they lose more???

I am happy to have a buddies to keep me motivated!

Vegas here comes Victorious Vicki!!!

Day two of my challenge - now 4lbs down from the weight I put on over my birthday so must have been water. Friday is weigh in day so with document what I am tomorrow and take my 1lb a week loss from there.

Started doing 10 mins a night on my eliptical walker - phew I am so unfit!!!!

Its Friday - hoorah!!! I love this day! I am happy to say that I was down another 1lb today. 3 more and then I will be back to the lowest weight that I have been while doing atkins and then I will take it from there.

My challenge is to have lost another 1lb by next week. I know that it doesn't seem much but I figure if I do more then bonus - If I don't manage it then I won't be too disappointed.

We watched our last trip to Vegas last night and man I look huge. I am wearing frumpy shorts and a big baggy T shirt and I wanna be wearing a bikini and skimpy cut offs - it sure has motivated me.

I did another ten minutes on the walker last night and increased the tension so it was harder. I was huffing and puffing afterwards but felt better for doing it.

Yee ha Vegas Baby!!!!

Its Monday - PAh - i hate Mondays. Trying to stay on track is easier knowing that I have something to look forward to - and that there are generally gorgeous women in Vegas at the side of pools so I know I have to do good!

Till Friday! xx

Hey Vicki,
I have a lot more to lose than you, but I would love to be your Vegas buddy! I am going to Vegas (my first time) in May to celebrate my college graduation and I just want to be able to lay by the pool without that whole beached whale feeling So is it a pound a week? I think I could manage that, it would help me keep focused on the trip as a big prize for all my hard work.

Hey there KaiNiki - thanks for joining me. Two Vegas girls together huh! You are going before me so you can fill me in on all the fab things while you are there. I have been three times before and I am addicted. where are you staying and how long are you going for! You will have such a great time girl!

Hey Vicki,
Thanks for letting me join you in this and thanks for stopping by my journal! I am so excited about Vegas, I have never been there. We are going just for a weekend and we are staying in the Luxor. I really just want to feel good enough to go dancing all night long then sleep beside the pool all day long! Where do you stay when you go? How long are you going for? I read your post in my journal, I have not been hungry on 20 carbs until last night. It's about that TOM so I was completely craving something salty and crunchy so I stayed on track, but I ate pork rinds and I usually hate them!

I am so excited to hear that the Luxor is great, my boyfriend has been to Vegas tons but he has never stayed there. He really likes the bar Ra that is there he said. How long are you guys going to stay there this time? Are you going to any shows?

Weigh in day - a pound down which is what my target for each week is so I am a happy bunny. Just got to stay on track this weekend as that's when my resolve fails.

Managed to stay on track all weekend - I am amzed but feel really pleased with myself. TOM is due though and I have been a bit sick the last two days so I am sure that will affect my weight this week. Ah well - swings and roundabouts!

Hey Vicki,
God job staying on track! I had a horrible weekend but decided to try the meat and egg fast that they are talking about on another thread. I am down to 235, yay! so that meets my 1 pound goal for the week and then some (after the high carb binge on sat and sun I was up to 241 on Mon morning) I am on my way. We booked our room at the Luxor two days ago, I cannot wait!

Hi Its Friday - YAYYYYY! And I am a pound down - this is good. I know its not a mega loss but I know that its not just water weight, I am really losing because I am staying on track and not cheating.

Vegas here I come xx

Good Job! I will weigh in on Monday and see where I am with it. Weekends are the hardest for me so hopefully it will go well. I am looking forward to vegas and being able to wear shorts without shame

Hi there!

I'm going to Vegas in June too

And it's one of those occasions in my near future that's helping me stay relatively motivated with my low carb eating.

I'll be at the New York New York hotel, a place I've never stayed before. I'm really looking forward to this trip - it's a combination business trip/family reunion sort of deal (I know that sounds odd, but it's a family business).

I haven't been to Vegas in about five years or so, and I'm really looking forward to all the fun and sun. I'm expecting it'll be *very* hot there in June, and this is making me want to ensure I lose a bit more weight in time for that trip - I don't want to be hoofing it walking down the strip in heavy jeans or what have you. I'm not aiming for shorts yet, but I at least want to feel comfortable in a pair of lightweight pants or some pretty skirts.

Plus - I've got some $$$ stashed away for a shopping trip. I've been told there's some good outlet stores there, and this could be a lot of fun for me.

Woo hoo...I'm soooo excited, and I can't wait til June. But then again..I can because I want more time to lose some weight here...lol!

Vegas, here I come

Hi there Citrus Kiss!!! So another Vegas vacationer! How excited are we all - New york New york is fab - such a nice hotel and casino - you will love it!!
