NOTSOFATSOs Team 3 New yrs challenge

[sneal717]

Good Afternoon Team!

I posted in the Induction forum this morning. I started yesterday and by 7pm I was so sick and in the bed until 7 this morning. I questioned whether or not it might be the Atkins flu.. but I now believe it was the glucophage I started taking for my type II diabetes. It made me sick last time I tried to take it so I'm not taking it tonight to make sure.

Anyway.. I'm feeling great today and doing great on Induction. No cheating and no desire to yet! I'm sure it's coming though. Gotta get my lunch ready for tomorrow. Not use to preparing meals cause we always ate out so hopefully I'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. My daughter is 11 and has about 15 lbs to lose so she's doing it with me. I'm allowing her to eat what she wants at school but reminding her to make the best choices. I'm anxious to see how she does.

I haven't picked up my pedometer yet but plan to do it today when I go tan!

Glad everyone is doing well! Best of luck this week!

woo hoo fina great job passing up those doughnuts and getting your steps in. I love my pedometer,

sneal717 do you monitor your blood sugars? Dr Atkins has a warning in DANDR for diabetics to workwith their treatment team because going low carb will lower the amount of meds they need and they can go into insulin shock if they aren't careful. Many of our diabetic ADBB memebers have totally gotten off meds. Check in the diabetic forum for some info from some been there done that folk.

Sorry I'm a little late, but I was learning my way around the board.

So I need to give yall my weight and measurements? Does the weight have be as of Jan 11 or can it be my start weight on January 1?

This is day two of my induction... not feeling myself today.

Hi Warsaw!!! Welcome to our team.

My plan for today is once the school age kids are off to school is to get my butt to LADIES express gym.

I will due 1.5 miles on a treadmill and the 23 min. circuit of machines.
i took my vitamins....

wasnt hungry but ate a hard boiled egg and water for breakfast!
so far so good!

we are still waiting for Pammie's official verdict on that one. I can't figure out why she picked the 11th as our start date either.

[lasst10]

I've not been 'perfectly' good since Chrismas, though I was able to not gain (and actually managed to lose a pound urplequ: ). I've not been exercising or drinking my water, either. :no

I'm back on as of today, and am ready to see the scale start to go down again. I'll be eating properly, drinking my water, taking my vitamins, and exercising! :joy

I'm walking everyday for my exercise goal. I losta pound during the new year's holiday. Glad tobe a partof this team, it;s so motivating. Let's win this challenge!!!! :icondance

I think Pammie waited until the 11th so that newbies who find this board after making their Atkins resolutions on January 1 could join. (They have until the 10th to find this board)

I'm still a bit unclear about how we're counting the weight loss.
My grand total amount I want to lose is 135 pounds. So far, I've lost 26 pounds of that, so I still have 109 left to lose.

I guess the induction flu hit. I feel miserable, and I also caught a cold from my rugrats. I have still been on program and drinking lots of extra water. hopefully it will all pass in couple of days.

[lasst10]

Fina, just stick with it. It will get better! Promise!

Pammie posted we post on the 11th how many pounds we need to lose and she is going to total them up then on the day it ends we again post how many pounds we lost and she will total that the team that has lost the largest percentage of the amount of weight they need to lose wins so if on the 11th we got 50 folk and 49 all need to lose 100 pounds (I'm a gaolie sorry ) and on the inish day they have all lost 60 pounds then we are at 60% if another team has 50 folk and they all need to lose 100 pounds and on the last day they say they lost 60 pounds each then they are also at 60% and we tie even though their team lost more pounds then we did.

if anybody drops out it will cost the team heavily in the final calcualtions so that is why this is a good challenge to keep new folk encoraged.

Do you guys want to be albel to contact everyone off the website too incase the site crashes or somebody stops posting?

[fr1endly2]
