-->>Christmas Challenge!<<--

[Lady Lamond]

I have been thinking about this and I have decided that I will no longer be coming to the forums anymore, I haven't been following Atkins, and think it unfair to say that I have been. Yes I am losing weight, but it's by other means. I wish all of you the very best.

sorry to see you go... you can always come back... we will still be here :hug

Hi went down 2 pounds I am 163 :icondance

[Moregently]

I didn't do something right, Mystique..

urplequ:

Mystique: You do an amazing job at keeping all these stats straight. It sure doesn't help you when a member ( :geek ME!) gives you confusing information.

I'll try to be clear this time;

My original starting weight was 266.
My starting weight for the Christmas Challenge was 240.
My goal for the Christmas Challenge is 200.
At my first SUNDAY WEIGH-IN for the challenge, I lost 1 POUND.
My current weight is 239.

I think I messed up by being overly-excited and changing the current weight in my profile to 239 as soon as I posted my 1 pound loss the other day... Are we supposed to do that, or is it better to wait until you've posted the updated group statistics ? ?

You have a gargantuan task, trying to keep all of this information updated, I'm sure, and I applaud your willingness to take on the job! :clapping

[pokeymeister_]

[pokeymeister_]

[size8hereIcome]

I messed up...I need a little help

I guess my profile can be updated...I am now down to 190. I finally got that number I've been fighting for...and guess what I did...I cheated. I made it through family dinners, the fourth of July, and a ton of other stuff. I made it through some really emotional stuff...yet I cheated tonight. Why???Today, I ate and drank my water just as I am supposed to. It's been 66 days since I started Atkins and I didn't cheat one time. Then tonight, my husband was running late so he decided to order a pizza. I asked him to order from a place I don't usually like and to get toppings I don't like. I started telling myself-you've done so good-you can just eat the toppings it will be okay. Then, I told myself hmmm...the other day I read a topic on refeeding/carb boosting. I told myself-oh it's okay you'll just loose more when you return to induction. So what did I do-I crammed three pieces of pizza in my mouth. So I'm getting ready to remove the little banner announcing my cheat free days. I was so proud of that banner. (By the way for those of you wondering-refeeding DOES NOT involve high fat food like pizza--it was just a terrible way I tried to manipulate myself). I hate the admit this-but I even thought of making myself puke it up. I know that sounds discusting..but I was just so afraid. So anyway, I'm back to induction tomorrow. I had been eating frankenfoods too much anyway. Can you believe as good as I was doing that I cheated though. I'm just so mad at myself. I'm really mad that I cheated on a pizza that was terrible anyway-I mean if I was going to cheat why didn't I do it on french fries or chinese food :sadblinky. So anyway, yes I did lose for my weigh in...but then totally screwed up.

[Mystique]

You guys are all so awesome! So diplomatic too. I do mess up sometimes, and I don't mind at all when you let me know where I go wrong. :yikes
I think we are going to have to let go of the pics on the right. The page is getting so large. I will try to liven in up on the top and bottom and find smaller giffy pics.
Welcome to the new challengers, and Way to go on the losses this week! Its gonna be a very slim and pretty Christmas! Woooooooo Hooooooo!

Never mind about skipping the little giffy's....the colours are beautiful and yes...we are a large bunch of people....I don't think I have ever seen this many people in one challenge....have you?

Okay...weighed in, and I've lost another pound.....woohoo.....(I would've liked it to be two, but one is better than nothing!).....
