CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

[Mary-chan]

Hope noone minds, I've decided to go ahead and create the new team. Okay, so far I think punkin50, mcchristenson, yankee, theatrelover, and fightingthefight wanted in? Anyone else who'd like to join, please do!!

This challenge will go from today, June 15, 2005, until christmas day at the end of the year. That's a little over six months!!! We should be able to make great progress by that time!!!

Let's try to report our progress once every two weeks.. by whatever measurement you want; pounds, inches, sizes, blood sugar levels, etc.. whatever your personal goal is!

You can post here about your daily progress, problems along the way, exercise, lack of motivation, whatever you need encouragement in!! Let's all try to help each other and be positive (this is probably obvious of course ).

Okay, let's "sign" our oath and list our goals and be started!! Goodluck everyone!



I, ___________ swear to be faithful to the Atkins Way of Life in order to become healthier and look and feel better about myself. Whether facing fluctuations of the scale, fourth of july picnics, birthday parties, or mean jerks who want to tear us down..., I will not waver in my determination to the promise I have made to myself on this day! For I know that if I am true to the Atkins WOL, health and confidence will surely follow!

My goal is to _____________________ by christmas (or the end of the year).

I know that when I achieve my goal, I will ____________________.

And I promise that when I am having trouble, I will come to my fellow teamsters to help! In addition, I will help my team out by also providing encouragement, wisdom, and understanding when they need it.

How is your day going so far?

Mine is cool. All I have had today was my one cup of morning coffee with my sugar free/carb free vanilla sweetner and some rotisserie chicken that was left over from yesterday.

I plan on having a salad for lunch and for dinner Chicken Bryan and some zuchinni. Lots of water!

What is your daily menu look like?

[iyamamaschke]

mY daily meu is pretty boring lately LOL

Breakfast 3 HB eggs quick and easy 2 cups of herbal coffee this stuff is great 3 carbs per pot. and it has a lot of potassium since I started drinking it no more leg cramps YAY.
Lunch left over steak with Home made honey mustard sauce 1 HB egg 1 cup of salad or other veggies, sometimes beans,
Supper Steak, 2 more cups of veggies NUMMY.

That's about it boring. I drink usually 4 cups of green tea per day and 3 liters of water sometimes more. I also take a mitt full of vitamins nastie but, I do it.

I am going for a jog today everyone wish me luck.

My goal is to lose 65 pounds by Christmas (or the end of the year).

I know that when I achieve my goal, I will finally feel good about myself. I will be able to enjoy shopping at stores and wearing clothes that I desire to wear. I will be able to run around with my kids without feeling absolutely winded and miserable. I will be able to stand in front of my students without having sweat constantly roll down my face! I will be able to look like I'm not 7 months pregnant. I will be able to go to the gym without feeling embarassed. I will feel sexy around my husband. I will not feel the roll around my middle when I'm driving. I will be able to wear something other than black and dark colors, which tend to mask my weight. I will be able to lower my bad cholesterol. I will be able to (hopefully) lower my chances of going from borderline diabetic to full-blown diabetic. I will be a lot closer to my GOAL!

And I promise that when I am having trouble, I will come to my fellow teamsters to help! In addition, I will help my team out by also providing encouragement, wisdom, and understanding when they need it.

So far today, I had tuna and swiss cheese (a staple in my diet lol) and water. I plan on treadmilling today. Yesterday I did some weight lifting again, and now my arms are pretty sore.

Goodluck and have fun on your jog today, iyamamaschke!

If you want to keep track of the progress chart for everyone, Fightingthefight, that would be really cool!


Have a wonderful day everyone!
