[flannery]

hello to all. I am getting ready for boot camp. A bit scared to be so strick.. anyway... I will see in the numbers in two weeks.... as for now my new stats are...

FLANNERY...Start---220---Weight---171---Goal---150--16 to go! Loss_-6__

thanks and have a great weekend...

[TheresaH]

Goal weight of 125

[janiac]

Down 1/2 pound. That's two weeks worth of progress. :tounge

Two weeks ago I upped my exercise. What good are lean, sexy muscles if they're still covered with 45 pounds of fat?

Two weeks ago I upped my carbs to 25 per day. All I did was add watermelon. Am I doomed to induction level carbs for the remainder of my OWL life and 25 for maintenance?

Ok, my water intake is less than perfect. Only about 3 glasses a day. But honestly, is that enough to reduce my weight loss to almost nothing?

Come on Whoosh Fairy!

[katie80]

Hi! I am down 3 more for the week to 198, for a total of 13 lbs. lost. 48 lbs. to go!

Thanks!

Hey, I'm having the same problems as you! Just hang in there!

Congratulations to all the losers! :icondance

weighed in at 165 today

Good News

Sorry that I've been missing for a few weeks. I have been so busy I've hardly had time to sleep! I'm especially sorry to the ladies I was going to do reinduction with again. I feel so bad that I was missing when I said I would be supportive. But I have some good news. I was stuck at the same weight for like a month. Now I'm doing to 183. I think I was at like 194 the last time I checked in! So, for those of you questioning-will I ever get out of this plateau-the answer is yes! So now that is a total of 36 pounds since doing atkins and I believe 21 pounds on the challenge right? Today I put on a pair of pants that I haven't been able to wear since 2001! So, so, so happy! I hope this good luck spreads. Bye!

[amanda_bc77]

I lost 2 more pounds! Now I'm at 203, so I've lost 7 pounds in total! Only 4 more till I'm in ONEderland! YAY! My mom thinks I won't make 150 by christmas, I'm going to show her. I've been going to the gym everyday and will until I cant move and stick the diet without cheating :joy

[Elmark]

Congratulations all loosers....

Mystique>> Sorry I'm late weighing in.....I wasn't home at all yesterday. You can put me down for 223 pounds now...woohoo!

I'm not sure I'll make my christmas goal, but I haven't given up completely yet.....

[gabbie]

I lost 1 more pound :yes

[Moregently]

Glad to see everyone is persisting...

Congrats to the losers this week! And kudos to those struggling...it WILL be worth it if you can just hang on. I hear that the Whoosh Fairy likes the look on the faces of people who had j u s t a b o u t given up.

Well, Mystique, I'm checking in a day early for my weigh-in day, or nearly two weeks late, depending on how you look at it. My houseful of guests are out for a couple of days so I unburied the computer..won't get back at it until after the 22nd now. :nono so thought I'd get here while I could!

Even after feeding 6 extra people 'their food' for two weeks (and, I admit, joining them for corn on the cob and apple pie) I have taken off 1 pound. It must be all the running after the three little ones that has given me that 'luck'.

Anyway...down 1 Pound, to 234, only 34 more to go til Santa comes. See you in a week or two.. :wave

[Mystique]
