Beginning weight 209; goal weight 184. Good luck everyone!

hi,
I am stuck!! I now weigh 151, gained a pound!! Definately going the wrong way!! I got out of ketosis..I am not sure what I did. I have been watching things so close..
I did eat some beef jerky, didn't have that much carbs than anything else I ate, but I have never ate it before. Could that have done it????

puzzled & frustrated...how do I get back into ketosis quickly??

Finally! out of stall...2 more pounds down...finally went for my training session at the gym....muscles,here I come!! I am waay pumped and ready to lose!

3 cheers for the 25lb.Challengers!

Week #1 - 160 lbs.
Week #2 - 160 lbs.

No change.

I'm trying ...... ! I went for a nice long (slow) walk today for about an hour. I felt really good afterwards. I hurt of course, my back is killing me, a nice soak in the hot tub should fix that up.

I've been hard boiling eggs for eat-on-the-run breakfasts and am really trying to keep LC. Guess I need to up the exercise to push me out of my stall.

Hi,

I just got wind of the challenge. I'm a sucker for challenges. It may not be possible for me to meet this challenge but it sure is motivating trying!! I just started the low carbs.

Stats:

Start - 160
Current - 160

Good luck to you all!!!

I weighed myself on Monday, and I hadn't lost a thing from the previous week. Thought it wasn't working 'cos I have done the induction quite well really - no alcohol, milk, caffiene, chocolate, sugar, bread, potato, pasta, etc.

This morning I've lost another 2 Kilos (4.4 lbs) That's 9 Pounds in 2 weeks.

I'm Happy now

11/08/01 299 (cheated badly last week, stressed)

I am losing, slow. Will weigh again on Friday, of next week. Hope to be 190 by then. I would like to be in a 16 by then. Want to be a 10 or 12. Hope everyone else is losing too. Hug's, Shirl

WEll - went to a dinner party last night - had been doing so good ---- till then---- and what's really aggravating - is that 95% of what was served was no/low carbs. But no---- I just couldn't resist that warm roll that passed under my nose - I did eat only one - where the old me would have eaten 2-3 rolls! And then came the birthday cake - couldn't take one bite - had to eat the whole thing! Now I'm bummed and angry at myself.

But I'm back on track and determined to drink extra water today and eat very, very low carbs.

My biggest mistake was getting on that blasted scale this morning - yep - up 2 lbs. OnNly have myself to blame though - oh well - another day another low carber!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

well... i had weigh in last night at the local support group..... considering i did have 1 carb meal this week, i didnt do too badly at all. The scales last night said i lost 1 pound.. question for you guys and gals is.. Should i use the weight from last night at the local group.. (evening weight with some water retention), or should i use the weight from this morning after i got up.. cause if i use the weight from this morning, im down about 2.5. Ive used on my profile last night weight so far, and waiting patiently from word from you if i should change it... i know.. silly isnt it??
well... with last nights weight.. 20.5 to go for the challange, and this mornings weight, 19 to go.. (god i like that number better!! hehe)

anyways, im off for now... good luck and congrats to all the LCers today......
