My birthday is October 2nd and it's a biggie!

I'll be TWENTY-FIVE!! I'll have hit the quarter century mark!!!

I'd love to do it with greater self-esteem and health. Soooooo let's get on the Atkins Band Wagon!!

My goal is to weigh nothing more than 180lbs when I step on the scale on my Birthday morning. I've got 10 weeks and 22lbs to go.......but I'm hoping when I weigh in again after my 14 day induction, it won't seem so daunting.

Let's Get it done!!

Name: Rosa
Starting: 202lbs
B-day Goal: 180lbs or less
I will achieve this goal by: Eating atkins legal whole natural foods and getting back to exercise.
My end reward to me: A NEW EXCERCISE DVD/VIDEO

My birthday is September 26th. Count me in.
Name: Colleen
Starting weight: 158
Birthday Goal: 140
I will do this by: Staying cheat free and starting to exercise
My reward to me will be: Smaller clothes!

My weight has been coming off VERY slowly (10 pounds in 8 weeks!) so I need to make some changes to make this goal. Any suggestions?

Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *

Have you been drinking enough water? I am doing average 100oz a day

What phase are you? still doing induction? If you you aren't having any franken foods are you?


My first time around I fell flat on my face because I started with the atkins bars and shake and milk and other stuff that just causes you to revert back to your old way of eating...

Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *

I'm hanging in there.

I'm already on day 5 of my Induction. I know the weekend is going to fly by (they always do don't they?)
It will be Monday and ONE WEEK DOWN before I know it.

WOO HOO!! I'm 1 week closer to goal

Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *

I am drinking about 70 oz a day. I used to add Crystal Light but found out that was not good for me. I have also dropped the bars. Did not know that they were no good until I found this site. I am still doing induction but admit that I have fallen off the wagon a couple of time. I got right back on but I am sure that is not good.
I think I need to sit down with the book again to refresh my skills and plan some meals a little better. I have not really been "counting" the carbs so that's bad and no exercise yet. I know I need to pick up the pace and things will get better. Thanks for the encouragement!

Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *

Kislandmom,



Don't get discouraged I have been trying to get on the wagon and stay on more times than I care to count but I have decided this is going to the last time for me I have been changing the way I eat dramatically and 50% of that is because of this board, because of the information the people around here even if you don't interact with them personally you can read about their struggle and it helps out alot.



You can do it!



PM any time!








Rosa,
You are doing awesome girl...way to go!


I am doing good going on day#8.. I am going to work out for the first time in a LONG time ... hitting the gym.. not sure what I'll do once i get there.. the treadmill maybe? You know I was thinking is it better to go for Distance say 3 miles or time say 45 mins???

Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *
