      yep, same one! I just know I'll forget what my start weight was if I don't record it so I figured I'd start a thread.

                Alright All, I weighed this morning since it's my last chance. I will be out of town tomorrow, and then Sunday starts the Weigh, No Way challenge. And the survey says....... I've lost 2 pounds. Yay! I've been putting extra toning/excercise ball/and crunches into my routine since I'm not living up to my October Mileage Challenge. I may not hit my goal in the challenge, but as long as I'm excercising and feeling it, that is all that matters. I'm having a proud moment today. Only 3 pounds left now!!!!

                      Hello everyone! I'll join. Even though I was on the no weigh challenge but I blew that this morning. I woke up in a foul mood, and needed evidence that this stuggle is working, anything, I just needed something positive. so I did what I should never do I weighed myself. I lost 2lbs. I'm feeling disgusted I was sure the scale would show at least a 4lbs loss. It has been 3 weeks since I last weighed myself. When will I ever learn. But I'm hanging in there, and sticking to my diet. I know eventually something has to give. So my new stats are start w 272/264/170

                      Hey Hoosiermom we are at the same place

                      start weight 264

                      must stay off scale:bang::grumble:

                        Hi Pru-

                        don't be down on yourself, you've probably lost a lot of inches which is more telling than the scale anyway. 2big has a great description of what happens on atkins, but i'll paraphrase:

                        1) you lose some fat (and inches)
                        2) your fat cells go OMG NO WE"RE DYING and fill themselves up with water (so you see no actual change in weight)
                        3) If you're anything like me you start to feel a little poofy and start getting pissed off about it.
                        4) eventually the fat cells release some of the water and you whoooosh and you lose some pounds
                        5) In the meantime the process has been occurring in other fat cells in your body
                        6) but you're still, all the while, losing inches!

                        So ignore the scale, the poofiness every once in a while, etc... just know that it's working and know that your fat cells just don't want to shrink but that they will eventually!

                            Awh Thanks Knicknack, I really needed that. I should know better,when it comes to me, I never have the sence I should have.

                            At least I did lose something, that is what my mantra is today.
