Re: My Summertime Challenge

Hi there!

I just joined the board and started induction today, but I would love to join you all!! I need to join as many challenges as possible so that I can stay on track. As long as I know you all are here to read my posts, I feel like you are watching my every move...so...can I join please???



My goal is to be at my target weight by June 11. That would be about the time the shorts come out for me...way up in Northern NY...takes a while for summer to actually hit!!

Re: My Summertime Challenge

I have been off the wagon again . Off on off on off on off on.....and way away from the scale this week it looks to frightening to get near it, I think it even growled at me once .....what is my problem? Well I know what some of it has been I have been battleing a migriane all week and it affects me food wise, but it's no excuse. I have to get food out my head it's probably why it hurts . I have got to get back with it. Wish me luck!

Re: My Summertime Challenge

Hey Chrleeann, are you on any medication for the migraines??? I've been a migrainer since I was little and im currently on relpax. When starting induction it's killer because of the induction flu and our migraines mixed and thats what holds me back (when i fall off) so i would suggest to start on a day where there isnt any work, running around, etc that need to be done (like my saturdays) that way you'll be able to sleep through it and not let it effect your eating choices.

Its just hard on you right now because your so back and forth. If you can get past the first 2-3 days then its smooth sailing! Just really, really try to get it under control because by going back and forth with your eating habits, its actually making the migraines stronger and more frequent. (sucks, i know! lol)

I'd also suggest to see a doctor if your having them even after your on this WOE for a while.

**This is just my personal experience and it might be the same with you. Hope It was of some help

Re: My Summertime Challenge

speedy you are so right, the induction flu and the migrianes together suck big time! And it makes it really hard to get threw it. I find that if I start atkins during my TOM the first or 2nd day I don't get either and don't have a problem getting threw those few days. But that's all a mess right now too....lol story of my life, my whole life is a mess right now, so the stress isnt helping. No, I am not on anything for them (migraines) right now. They have had me on alot of different things, none of them really helped (need a new doctor, I guess), but cant afford to go right now anyway. I just need to stick it out for these few days and then I will be ok. I wish I could get rid of everything in the house that I cant eat so I wouldnt be so tempted. But, I have an 11 yr old daughter and she wont be having that.
But I am so glad there are other ppl out there with the same problems, some times I feel so alone. Thanks so much for your support and advise .

Hang in there, chrleeann!

Re: My Summertime Challenge

Leaving on a road trip in a couple of hours & will be gone all weekend. We're leaving for Branson, MO & I probably will indulge in a little something, but I haven't decided exactly. I won't go too crazy with the food b/c I've worked hard so far, but I also don't want to feel deprived when I'm on vacation either. We'll see how it works out!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Re: My Summertime Challenge

Hey folks!!

Well I'm stuck!! Scale has not moved in a long while and unfortunately I lost my tape measure. But that's okay! There is always this week, and the one after that, and after that, and so on.

Congrats to everyone that has lost! Hang in there, you guys are doing great.

I am about to have a springtime yard sale, I am so excited about getting all of this junk out of my house. I'm hoping I'll make enough money & room to put a treadmill in! I hope I can. I know that I'm so bored when I get home from work that I just get on the computer or call people, unless I've got dinner to cook. This way I know that I can walk in, turn on the boob tube and start walking every day, without fail. So I hope I can swing it.

Okay, see you guys Sunday/Monday/Tuesday (whenver I'm able to log on). In the meantime keep your chin up and keep doing a great job!

Re: My Summertime Challenge

Okay guys, lets all have a better week. I'm really going to try hard this week to make it a CLEAN induction week. I am really struggling to get with it. I am going to think good thoughts of myself and everyone on this sight. We can do it, we can do it, we can do it. Okay I am going to stop talking about it and do it.
How is everyone else doing?
StephieSue good luck with your yard sale. Having a tread mill in the house is really nice. I got one for Christmas, I do use it, when I am being good. But been not true to that either. Going to get working on that too. But really it's a great tool.
Okay, not to many of you checking in, hope everyone is doing good and dropping the pounds.

Re: My Summertime Challenge

I had a good time at Branson this past weekend. I wasn't too horribly bad either. I did indulge a little, so I'm starting induction again this week. When I weighed Monday morning, I had gained 1.5 pounds. Not too bad, but not great either. I won't be weighing myself for the next 2 weeks b/c of a pledge I made in Boot Camp.

Hope you get enough money for that treadmill, StephieSue. I love mine!

Have a great week, ladies!!

[chrleeann]

Re: My Summertime Challenge

okay, I am back on clean induction, yeap Again! This is day three. Weighed in this morning and lost some of what I gained. Going to try and check in daily. Good luck!

Re: My Summertime Challenge

Thanks Bio, glad you are still here!
It's starting to feel alittle lonely don't you think? Some have not posted in a LONNNNNNNNNNNNNNG time. I sent every one that hasn't a message to see how they are doing and see if they still want to be in our challenge. Hopefully we will get some back and keep the motivation high. I know I need every little bit I can get . So, with that said, not to be mean, but since I am keeping track of the weight log if some arent going to check in and let us know whats going on, I am going to take them off the list (also so my post wont take up so much room). But if you are here and I do take you off I will gladly put you back on , the more the better!!! Hope everyone is doing GREAT!
