-->>Christmas Challenge!<<--

[Mystique]

Wow! I was just updating everyone &amp; we gotta all feel so great! Look at those numbers! Whether we quite reach goal or not, if we lost 1 pound or 40, it is a victory!
This is so exciting, and I am so proud of us all!

[rissa]

i am proud of everyone also!

Rissa: did you do anything different that may have pushed your weight loss to 8 pounds? any special new recipes, exercise, etc? Any help would be gretly appreciated

well, i cut out most of all cheeses and creams and such. also i cut out my caffeine and upped my water. it helped tremendously. and just recently i thought well maybe it was just the caffeine so i added back more cheese and i havent lost anything for a few days. when i usually loose at least a small precent of a pound. so today i am cutting out cheese and creamers completely. hope this helps :nod

Rissa, it's alot easier to get rid of it than it is adding it back into the menu, unfortunatley. After giving up all cheeses, I find that once a week is enough to still see results in my weight loss. However, I still eat it on rare occassions.

[rissa]

your right. no more cheese for me. :nono

i have recently slipped back into my coffee and with cream. Might have to curtail it to see if it is causing a problem....
Really hoping to get to goal and should have plenty of time to get there. The scale jumped up a little though so gotta get it back down and continue on.

WooHoo Becky Sue! You're getting closer and closer!

As for me since the week is almost over I am still at 193. It will come off though, only 3 pounds to go and after I pot this tommorrow I will probably see a loss. That is how it usually works. Oh well. Hang in there everyone, Christmas is just around the corner.

Ok! I'm back on track and can report that I have lost another 3 pounds. I am down to 164 for a total of 35 pounds lost since the challenge began. Only 4 more until I reach my Christmas goal.

[easttexasdaisy]

Hi All...looks like everyone is doing quite well!!! My comp. decided to die on me about a month ago, and have been too busy with school to go out and get myself a new one :yikes Finally...I am back online!!! :joy


I would like to report the latest on myself: I am down another 5 lbs. to 127....which brings me to a grand total of 100 lbs. gone since I started Atkins earlier this year! Hopefully I can lose this last pound and a half before Christmas, and really make an appearance for the holidays :ThumbsUp

Keep up the awesome job everyone...I am soooo proud of each and every one of your accomplishments! :hug
