Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

I held off weighing in till this morning and it was worth it - 6 pounds lost for a total of 34!!!! I've a long way to go but am thrilled so far. Went to the gym from the doc's office before I could blow it off. I still hated it but at least it's done!

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Congrats on the loss Yankee, you should be very proud!

Sarah, well its hard not to tell the truth when you get your breath taken away everytime you open this thread I've thought about putting a "during pic" up on here, but I am really camera shy..and afraid lol. Although words of encouragement would help alot...just afraid of not getting any hehe.

Well to let you know about the Job interview. I think I may have it! yay! I was nervous the entire time, but we went over alot of everything. What is funny is that the building that this clinic is in, I got started in this business when I was 14. It was another clinic at the time but still to me, its a cool feeling.

I don't think the office manager had alot of experience interviewing people, so I kinda helped her along going over different topics. After it was all said and done she told me that I had more experience then her head tech! so she said she is calling me monday to setup a "Working" interview. Otherwords, make sure I mesh with everyone and the doctors.

I am really excited because the Doctor that runs the place I've always heard about growing up. He is also a big surgical DVM and that is my favorite area!

Anywho, Had a good morning....my first session of "couch to 5k". I've been thinking of opening a journal but wasn't sure if it was a good idea or if anyone would read it lol. I've been running a little here and little there but acutally started the regimen today. Its not a 10k like you sarah, but hey, I will get there one day.

Ok, I am rambling, so all have a blessed day!

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Wow, everyone is doing fabulous!!! Sorry I haven't been on much this week, I was surprisingly busy, but of course still made time to exercise .

I think I'll do my weigh in today instead of tomorow as I dont know if I'll be on tomorow. And then I will be gone from Sunday to next tuesday, I am helping a friend move up to Oregon and I'm not sure if they have internet acess at her new place yet or not. So I hope everyone has a wonderful week while I am gone!!

So today's weight was 236.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! last week I was 240.5-241, and it's not even saturday yet!! I was doing from 45 - to an hour a day exercise instead of the usual 30, and it really appears to have helped... a 4 pound loss in one week.. that is a first for me, and I am thrilled!!!!! And I'm in the 230's, and it brings my total loss to 25 pounds!!

I really hope being in a Uhaul truck for 20 hours and then away from my treadmill and routine doesn't stop this trend.. I would love to repeat this success... every week LOL.. Wouldn't that just be wonderful??

Anyway, I am going to bask in this 4 pound loss while I can, because intellectually I know it's not likely to be repeated..... but I can still hope lol.

If I'm not on tomorow, everyone have a wonderful week and I will see you in August!

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

I weighed yesterday and today - no weight loss and I have eaten more than normal today - nothing illegal, but certainly more than I should. And, to be totally honest, calling those atkins bars legal is probably a stretch. I am just thankful I left the cookies and goodies alone. I was just frustrated with the lack of weight loss after a few good weeks. And I was so good! Even did the treadmill.

Enough ranting. I WILL stay on course!

Congratulations on the job interview, Fighting the Fight!

And thanks to all of you for your help and inspiration!

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

I, shaz 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 be a dress size 10-12(uk) by christmas (or the end of the year).

I know that when I achieve my goal, I will shop till i drop

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
still on induction 8lbs lost 35 to go

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

It has been a wierd week. I celebrated my birthday last night for the 6th and final time (thank goodness). I drank way too much this week and did very little excercise. I don't even want to step on the scale to see how bad the damage is. I didn't cheat food wise but I also didn't do all the things that I know I need to be doing to get the maximum effect. Sigh, oh well. I am re-commiting.

Tomorrow I will get on strict induction for at least 1 week. I will eat all of my veges, I will avoid cheese, cream, and pork skins. I will take my supplements daily and I will pick up my excercise with a vengence.

Ok just had to type that out so that I can get my butt back in gear. Hope everyone had a nice weekend, may I just say that I LOVE lazy Sundays.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Hi Shaz welcome to to group it's great to have you here and it sounds like you're doing awesome YAY.

I am still not losing but, it's kinda my fault I kn9w I have been eating too much. TOM is comming and it's making me sooo hungry grrr.

I am thinking of going back to induction to get the weight moving I need to buckle down it's like I have too many choices now I can't eat enough or it could be the hormones comming. Oh, dear I am staying basically the same so it's good at least my weight hasn't climbed but, No weight loss for this girl.

I am starting my 1/2 marathon training tomorrow so I'll be doing strength training and stretching from what the program says I hope it goes well but, I'm sure it will.

Take care everyone have a great day

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Well, it's been a week for more than just me. Had two margaritas last night and don't feel so hot today! Thankfully it didn't lead to anything else. Today I will be very strict and try to fit in exercise - company is coming at noon and then we all head out to a swim meet. It'll be very long and very boring for all but the kids. It'll be too hot to eat anything and I KNOW I'll get all my water in - two positives!

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Hi everyone

I'm back from my Boston visit and things went well in terms of training and interview. I have been offered the position but am now in two minds as to whether I REALLY want it. Other prospects have come to light so now is the time for lots of thought on my part to understand what I really want at this time in my life. Ok, so that's my little update on that part of the trip.

In terms of keeping to Atkins whilst out there, I managed it although it was hard with business breakfast, lunch and dinner on most days. All that was provided were high carb options even though I had requested otherwise. I had to pick out the fillings from my sandwiches etc which was a little annoying but had to be done although dinners were better as restaurants menu's have more choice. All in all, I stuck to the programme and having now weighed myself since coming home, I didn't lose anything but then again, didn't gain either. I also know I didn't manage to get my exercise in so this is probably why I didn't lose, but now I'm back I can step it up and try to make up for it this week.

On a fun note, I got to see my first baseball game which was great, had a tour of Boston, went to Harvard and shopped til I dropped. I even took an empty suitcase out with me to take advantage of all the great price deals you guys get on clothes, make-up etc. Lovely city and will definately go back.

Anyway, from the sounds of things, everyone is doing well so keep up the good work. Looks like someone's been out there recruiting as we have new team members so great to see everyone old and new. Will post again asap with any updates.

Re: CC "Fat Blaster" challenge!

Sounds like everyone has been doing great while I've been away for my extended weekend trip to Chicago. We had a great time and my brother was very surprised we came for his birthday. It was very emotional for him as well as myself. So glad we got to go.

I was able to ride my sister's stationary bike while I was there for my exercise but didn't do too well with the diet and the scales told on me this morning. I'm back on induction to get myself back in control hot and heavy and recommitted. Had to get that off my chest. Anyway glad to be back home as well.
