I just saw this thread and wondered if it is still open to new-comers?? Me and my daughter would like to join. We just started the LC 2 weeks ago and we'll weigh in tomorrow and post our stats if this challenge is still open.

Sounds like you all are doing great....keep up the good work! It isn't always easy but the results make it worth it!!!

Well.. thanks for the welcome Soonslim.
Kbec.. I am also doing this with my mother.. and my mother-in-law. She is in Hong Kong for another year and we keep in touch daily on our progress. It helps.

I am 199 this morning... down 1.

Hi and thanks for the welcome. Having my daughter do this with me definitely helps. I have tried to go LC twice before by myself and fell off pretty quickly.

O.K. Here are our stats as of this morning.

Kursten: 216.5 (gained .5 since last weigh in...ughhh, hopefully this challenge will keep me more focused)

Amanda: 165

Am going to concentrate on more protein and drinking more water. I have been eating quite a few veggies lately, even though the low carb ones, so that might be what is stalling me out.

Good job everyone, keep it up!

Kursten and Amanda

Super AH, Kursten and Amanda of course you can join. Post what you can, if its everyday, Great, if not, thats okay too.

Just to let everyone know, I'm sorry I didn't post this morning. I had a choice of getting on the internet for 30 minutes or cuddling up with the hubby for 30 minute...(smile), I couldn't resist I had to cuddle.

This morning I weighed in at 182.5!!! I'm one pound away from FIVE POUNDS, lol. BUT, there is always a BUT, LOL. I'm feeling "tempted" right now, I felt this way all day, I want to run to the store and buy bags of goodies, cookies, ice cream...awhh, I always self sabatage myself!!!

I havent done anything that I regret yet, and I so want to see 179, I haven't seen that number in a decade, wow, I hope I don't mess up.

Well, time will only tell.

I hope everyone else is doing well, good luck to you all!!!

Great, more newcomers, welcome to the challenge.

Cindy you are doing great, don't be tempted when you are so close to winning the first race to 5 pounds lost. I know you can do it.

I weighed the same this morning. I haven't felt good in a couple of days, so I haven't been so active either. Hopefully this will pass soon.

looks like everyone is doing fantastic . my first day of school went well , and i have been feeling great . i am still at 137 because my mom says i ate chiness food and that makes oyu retain water weight . but i have not cheeted in like 4 days so i am very proud of myself . have a fantastic night everyone

MsKetosis.. don't give up when you are doing so awesome! I am inspired by your success. I am not a sabatager.. but my husband is good at it.. he is like "ohh, you did so well the last week.. treat yourself".. he makes it seem all ok.. Easy for him.. He polishes off 6 boxes of cereal a week.. easy.. and never gains an ounce.. he is all muscle.. ugh!lol
But I am not letting him get me this time!
Will weigh in tomorrow morning..

Thanks Super Ah and Sprissy. Needless to say, I didn't cave in and I'm feeling stronger for it. I did weigh myself this morning and to my surprise...I stayed the same!! 182.5.

Its all mental strategy.

Good luck to you. I'm focused on the end of September. I hope to lose 18 pounds by then, and I know I can do it as long as I am mentally focused.

Have a good day everyone.

bluesfan, good luck with school. You'll lose the weight just hang in there. As long as you didn't gain, you're going in the right direction.

xo Cindy

Well, Morning all.
It seems I am 198.5... so I am saying I stayed pretty much the same as yesterday.. no real change in that scale. I am in Ketosis. That dark purple stick tells me so.. so I am not worried.. in my first week I usually stay around the same, then drop a bunch real quick in the start of the second week... so let's hope that is the way it goes this time.

Keep at it all.. we can achieve this...
AH

hey guys. still at 191. 2 more days of TOM!!!! have cheated a couple of times but have not gained. have not been exercising as much this week either. lata

Hi everyone, and welcome newcomers to the challenge.

I refuse to weigh myself during TOM, so I won't have an update until next week. I've stuck with it so far though, no cheats yet!

Is it strange that we are all on TOM right now..LOL.
Since I had my little boy 3 months ago, mine have been wicked. I am super swollen right now. Hope when it goes I will notice a difference.

Hello everybody!

Well both me and Amanda saw a loss this morning. Mine was probably so big because me and hubby got in a fight last night and I ended up not eating any dinner (which I know isn't good for me) but tonight I'm making up for it with Bacon and Cheddar topped baked chicken and cauliflower with cheese sauce.

Kursten: 214.5 (down 2 lbs since yesterday)
Amanda: 264.5 (down .5 lbs since yesterday)

We are doing great and with each other to lean on it really makes a difference. Also since I found this forum earlier this week I have pretty much lived on it and am getting both good ideas and great support!

Thanks everyone, keep up the good work.

Kursten & Amanda

You know what I do when I feel like this I make fake pancakes with eggs and cream cheese they are so good with a littl sugar free jam!!(let me know if you want the recipe)

Still on TOM so no weight here mabey tomorow!!!
