Good Luck Steph! I have been bonceing back and forth cheating a little now and then. I think now I will go strictly Atkins.
Our buyer's loan fell thru on our house, just found out today, anyway long story,so we don't have to move now, I can get serious now with losing this weight with no stress. Shirl.

It's great to see another group challange!

You may want to creat a thread for each group of buddies in our group journal. This way you wan maintain your updates in a journal, and we'll learn from you.

Check out the group journal forum, in the bootcamp section.

Just want to welcome everyone, to the 25 lb's by Christmas Challenge. I am ready to go. We can do it guy's!!!!! Shirl

I am so exited about this .. I think that so many people doing it makes me feel a bit more secure. that I can get thru it. uhmm like a team spirit kind of thing, knowing that you guys are in the same boat.
about posting it in the other file like a journal I think is great.
good luck everyone!!!!!

Ally. See you on Monday. Shirl.

... come on guys we can do this !!! Christmas is a decent goal .. and avoid buying scales too soon ... don't want to discourage yourself before you even start .... hmm now where are the no sugar no carb no taste cookie recipes

Good suggestion, Tamarian!

I went ahead and started a thread in the Journal/Boodcamp area, under group projects called "25 pound by Christmas Challange".

This way it will all be in one place as the weeks go by.

Bye-bye pounds!!!!

This is great, count me in! It's too funny, just today I was telling a friend that I want to lose another 30 lbs. by Christmas. Of course I'd be thrilled with 25 too. Hope this gives me the motivation I need!

Happy to join the Christmas Challenge, I need all the motivation I can get.

WOW - 13 lbs below my first goal!

Yikes! Is this possible? 3lbs a week...hmm...I'd love to take a shot at it! Does this mean I have go back on the induction or just stay below 40 carbs a day?

EBeth, I would think you would stay where you are, under 40 carbs, unless you would want to go back on induction, would be ok, I would think. Are you losing now?

I think I might join you guys. I have given myself a mini-challenge to loose 10 lbs. by New Year's Eve and if I join in with you guys it might help motivate me more.

I don't seem to loose easily ...

Beginning Weight 07/19/2000 - 174 lbs.
Current Weight 10/24/2001 - 159 lbs.
Mini Goal weight 00/00/0000 - 150 lbs.
Goal weight 00/00/0000 - 120 lbs.

See you in Bootcamp ...

Let's go for it! Shirl.

You're ON, Girlfriend!!

That was already my first goal in my mind, so I am up for the challenge! I started at 275, but don't have a scale at home. I need to buy one, too! I go back to the doctor next Tuesday and have been on induction for 9 days now. I can feel the water weight gone and am fitting into smaller pants already. I estimate at least 5-6 lbs gone so far, maybe more.

Let's keep it up!
