Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Hey All!

I've started a new thread for this Challenge. It's specifically for posting weight loss and displaying our chart. This way I'm sure to get everyone's loss and you can correct me if there are mistakes on the chart. Here's a link!

Cristy, look at Linda's Low Carb site for recipes instead. Get some recipes off of this forum, there are tons you can have.

If you haven't already, start climbing the rungs so that you CAN have variety and not feel a tad bit guilty!!!

Sunday morning,

I think I started at 214, and now I am 204.5...or whatever.

Good morning, guys. One more day and I'll weigh. Crossing my fingers for a good loss!

I got up and moving around late so I just fixed brunch and it was yummy. Turkey burger seasoned a little spicy with an onion slice and cheddar on a flax bun. I would post a pic but it's long gone now... LOL Still hard to believe sometimes that we can eat like we do and lose weight. We've come a long way from the dieting days of nothing but cottage cheese, haven't we?

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Jess! Fantastic!

cristy, I have faith in your weigh in tomorrow! Let's see a big loss!

Me, 145.5 today.... .5 to go. I have the WORST stomach ache all last night and still this morning. I had to take some maalox in the middle of the night because I couldn't stand it. I know there's sugar in it, but I way whatever...I needed it.

Morning everyone!

I really love looking at that chart...thanks so much Saty for making it for us!

My weight has been fluctuating quite a bit the past few days. Nothing serious I'm sure, I had some pork rinds yesterday and they always make me retain. I'm happily plodding along though I just had cottage cheese in half and avocado with 5 delectable huge strawberries. Wonderful!

You're all doing great! Jess, congrats on the loss! Five and a half pounds is wonderful. Sorry you're having tummy troubles Silly...are you feeling better yet?

Hope you're all enjoying the rest of the weekend!

Hey Jess!

I've got you at minus 6lbs!! Great work!!! I've made a new thread purely for reporting loss: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard....ead.php?t=34550

I think it will help to keep things straight, and that way I can post the chart more often too!!!

Have a good day!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Good monday morning friends. I am still doing good. OUr family was invited out to lunch after church yesterday, and it was to a food bar, it did not register until we walked in to the crowded joint. Sunday gluttony!!! Oh my gosh, it was a sight to behold. I did fine, I was absolutely calm and together. I thought, " I will not feel bad when I leave, I will be comfortably full not pathetically over indulged, in pain and guilt!!!" and it happened. To say it was a challenge to handle a 15 yr old on her second day of Atkins is an understatement. To say that the kids she was sitting with, teased and created such a scene was a understatement...
It was sad! But we both got out of there just fine!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Man, I completely forgot this was a holiday when I said I was going to weigh today. Now I have a dilemma. I normally weigh in on Mondays. And usually in addition, at home I hop on and off the scales a dozen times a day and am always frustrated because I think it shouldn't fluctuate. (Yes... I'm a scale addict.)

I really really want some treats on my chart (and they are coming!)... but I've made the decision to not get on the scales until next Monday now. Right now it's just easier on me if I don't add the stress of looking at the scales 14 times a day. Who knows.... September 11 I might show a whole 10 pound loss!!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Jess, sounds like you made you plan and stuck to it. That's a huge success in my book! Good job.

I'm finding the events of this weekend not too difficult thanks to this WOE. At home we're fine because there's nothing we can't have here. But yesterday there was a clam bake at our local fire company. Okay, clams and melted butter. Works for me. Also had a bunless cheeseburger. No beer, no corn, no bread, etc.

Then went to a friends' for a BBQ last night. Thankfully, she had steaks and salad and green beans. I "tasted" (one very very small bite) a wild rice recipe because she made it thinking I could have it. So I didn't want to let her down.

But somebody else brought a really wonderful looking and tasting (so I heard) ice cream dessert. Had two kinds of ice cream, kahlua (I LOVE THAT), hot fudge (LOVE THAT EVEN MORE) and all kinds of other really yummy stuff on it. And you know what?? I didn't even have a taste of it! I went through the whole, well, a few bites won't be a big deal .......

But I didn't even lick DH's spoon! And like so many others have said on this board, if I did have it, I would have been mad at myself and probably had an upset tummy this morning.

So I'm a happy camper this morning. Anybody got any big plans for the day?
Oh yeah, next door neighbor is having a cook out this afternoon. Again, I'm expecting I'll have salad and burgers or chicken. Gotta love it!!!

Re: Trick *NO* Treats: Lose 10 lbs by Halloween!

Morning girls. Still .5 pounds to goal which is good in my opinion since I went to a wedding last night and had a bit too much alcohol. I'm hoping sometime this week to really, really be at goal!

jcapulet...love the wooshie, huh?

pink, I'm proud of you for being clean

Jess, sounds like you did well at the party, good job

cristyl...I hear ya about the scale, I WAS a multi weigher myself except when I did the 2 month challenge not to weigh and guess what? I survived and you will do if you ease up on yourself and that stupid scale

Nana...sounds like you're doing a fine job too

I LOVE this group! thanks for all being so terrific
