    1 Month on Atkins Today!

    I can't believe a month has passed already! Obviously the weight loss has slowed, and I'm holding fast at 15 pounds lost.

    I leave for Vacation on the 4th of July and won't be back until July 12th. I know it sounds nutty, but I'm going to try and lose 5 pounds while being on vacation! I figure with all the long walks on the beach and staying lowcarb will make this possible

    My goal for the first month was to just STICK TO IT! And I made it! I'm so excited! My goal for the second month being on Atkins is to sucessfully complete 1 challenge this forum, and integrate exercise into my daily routine. I have also started a plan I like to call "Operation Hydration," which I use to challenge myself to drink at least 100 oz of water a day!

    Hey people, if I can do this, anyone can I'll take a 1 month update picture this afternoon!

    Kerith,

    Good job!

    5 pounds does seem a little high, but I'm sure it's possible if you try really hard.

    I'm actually leaving for Hawaii on July 10th, and not coming back until August 1st. At first, I was thinking it's going to be hard for me, and I might gain some weight, but now that it's getting closer, I'm positive I'm going to stick to how I've been eating, and I'm sure I'll build quite a bit of muscle swimming so much, and just constantly being out doing things for three weeks.

    Anyway, I just wanted to say congrats on one month...I think the very beginning is the hardest part of all. And good luck with your future weight loss.

              Congratulations on the 15 pounds and for making your first goal (sticking to the program). You have excellent second month goals of drinking water and making exercise become a habit. You are going to make it. Vacations are a great way to get in more walking, exercise and create positive plans for making it happen when you are out of your comfort zone of your home and own cooking. Challenge yourself to make it happen. Best wishes and Have fun!!

                  Fantastic! You're doing great! Have a wonderful vacation!

                  Edited to add: Ooops... didn't notice the bump! I should've said: "Hope you had a wonderful vacation!" perhaps!
