Hello,

This is a new challenge that does not involve checking how much you weigh. Since our weight can fluctuate day to day, hour to hour, and since some of us have exercise and weight training as a part of our routines, I don't think that relying on the scale is the right way to judge our progress. Anyway, it's enough to drive you crazy watching that scale!!


So, all of us who are size 18+, I thought we could have a challenge to get down to size 16. All we need to do is check in, daily if possibe, and tell what lc meal we have had and what exercise we have done, or just shoot the breeze if you want. No strict rules since we all have our own routines and eating plans.

One thing we don't want to do is weigh!!! Let's judge our progress by the fit of our clothes and by inches lost if you desire to.

See ya all later!

This is a good idea, not to weigh yourself but to go by how your clothes fits.

I'm in. But I won't start re-Induction till the 15th so I'll start posting then.

I'm a 20 right now and have a pair of 18 jeans and 16's in my closet. I try them on every once in a while hoping they will pull up.

WE CAN DO IT!

Hello and welcome hope more join.

I'm looking forward to shedding some weight and getting into my size 18 jeans.

Good luck everyone, WE CAN DO IT!

Hi everyone, Well it was a good day. Never cheated once. Now if the night goes as well, it will be great. I had 3/4 cup low carb cereal for breakfast w/1/2 c. skim milk and 1 packet sweet-n-low, lunch was salad, tuna salad made with low fat mayo, easy on the mayo 1tsp. green pepper and 1 tablespoon onion, diced. dinner was 1/2 c. brown rice, with 3/4 c. pepper steak made with low carb veggies. Well, girls was it ok. I think it was. Feed back please.

I had one steak with deviled eggs for lunch yesterday and dinner was, fried chicken sliced into a bed of lettuce, cheese, olives and CarbSmart Italian dressing with 2 left over deviled eggs.

I'm gonna try my 18's every week and see how they fit. So MOON maybe you could do the same. Mine go up but don't close yet.

Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with cheese and water. YUM!

WE CAN DO IT!

To Nev05, AF wife and black57.
You guys are great. Thanks for your feed back. Yes, I exercise. I am walking 2 1/2 miles a day and working up to 5 miles a day. My doctor has had to decrease my insulin 3 times so far. She is all for it as long as I get a few carbs a day. My AcH1c has gone from 9.6 to 6.5 in 3 months. She is jumping for joy. My levels have dropped from 400 to 100 and a little below. Between my doctor and the support I recieve from all of you, I know I can make it. Thanks again and Hugs to all.

Lunch, 2 steaks with melted cheese on top and the last of my 2 deviled eggs. YUMMY!

Dinner will be a steak salad. What can I say, I love steak.

Ladyalone, YOU CAN DO IT!

Also, my scale is fluctuating between 206 and 210 today. I'll wait till Monday to give any actual number out but it's nice to see it's going down.

Keep up the good work ya'll. I'll be trying on those jeans tomorrow to see how they fit.

Cheers!
