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

Hello ladies...I am so busy here practicing mental control, and seeking where I put my positive attitude down and left it...It is the most beautiful of days here, and I am in the grumpiest, dumpiest mood, Christine, I know where your pound went, you have been hanging out too near my posts and my post caught your pound, thus I have gained it...I think it came in thru the keyboard and absorbed thru my fingers, as i typed away...
Congrats on your surprise loss, I am sure it equals my surprise gain...
It won't make me eat tho, it just won't...I just need to get over myself, I am swimming in my clothes, turning out purple sticks...what is my deal? Just finished TOM so I can't be pissed off with that coming...Grrrrrrr.....

Caitlin weighs tomorrow, and she was so tired today...she has a mini goal of 10lbs loss equals a new pair of sneakers...she has lost 8 since Aug.1 3 of this on Atkins...
she is getting close and almost finished with week 1 of induction...
I better start studying up on ONGOING WL....

Ok ladies, thanks for sticking with me in the good times and the bad...and it's sad that it's a bad day, because there is no reason for it.

Hey Jess!

Don't be too hard on yourself if you feel grumpy. We all have those days. Sometimes it helps me if I can just go take a little nap. How 'bout you? Are you at home and can take a quick 15 - 30 minute nap? Might make the world seem a little better?

Hope you feel better!

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

Hi. What a great idea! I'd love to join in this challenge with you all. I need all the help I can get.

My goals:

To lose 10 pounds starting now, so will be at least 249.

I will drink all my daily water.

I will increase my treadmill time, even if it's just a bit more.

I will walk around our house and yard (1 acre) 2 times a day with the dogs--they love it.

I will write down all my food.

I will include Halloween night to stay away from the candy we will have to pass out to the neighbor kids.

To help this, I will have a plate of Atkins' friendly food buffet of snacks, meat, salad set out, all like a buffet to be sure not to eat this candy.

See ya later, Babs

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

Hey Babs, welcome, I have not seen you over at STAC, you should come and post more often, so we can get to know you. You seem very organized!

Well, I am still hanging in there, and I am stuck no weight gain or loss, but still up that pound. I have done extensive reading, there is a wonderful article in the FAQ's about why the scales lie. It is worth reading completely...It sure brought up my level of understanding...which is of course what I am after this month, understanding, and knowledge that allows me to know my body more...(heard enough of this from me yet,considering I have to remind myself constantly and do so liberally in my posts)

Morning Ladies!

Sorry I haven't been in as regularly as I probably should...I've just had so much to do lately and it never seems like I have enough time to make it every place I want to go. I'll have to make it a point to get my butt in here regularly!

Jess! My pound couldn't have come to visit you! I lent it to my friend Shannon Sorry to hear you're stuck in terms of loss right now. How long has it been? Are you losing inches still? I feel like I'm giving you the third degree lol...sorry!

I hope you're all doing well. My hubby and I are going to breakfast at my mom and dad's this morning so we can visit and catch up. It's been far too long and I miss them. Silly, because they only live a couple miles away!

Take care!

Welcome babs!

Me....still up that pound....ARGH!

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

Silly girl, you and I seem to be on the same track....uggh.
Christine, I am embarassed, I have only been playing around with these 2 pound 6 days...can you see my rather driven impatience...it's a lovely trait to wrestle with constantly... I apologize for assuming you left your pound on my thread...ok ladies who left their lost pound on my post?
I am absolutely confident that by the end of next month I will have met this goal... My deal is just frustration with the little tiny "pound" details, which is why I don't like the scales and the emotions that it brings forth...which is one reason why I am doing this, to learn to deal with my disappointment and excessive expectations...

Here's what I know: keep on doing what we're doing, 100% and sooner or later.....we will all be at goal!

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

Hey all,

Well I had a dr appointment yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised to be down another 3#'s, based on their scales..YAY!!! So, hopefully, when I do my offical weigh in on Monday, I will be down atleast that 3#'s.

I will post my offical loss, for the chart on Monday.
I have really kickedc my water up and I think that helped me this week..

Hope you all have a great weekend.

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

Hi, everbody. Just wanted to check in and say hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Jess and Silly, you know you don't have to fret about those pounds, right?? We know how evil the scale is!!! Think about what you would tell anybody else if they were discouraged and then go to the mirror and recite it. haha

We're women, darn it, and our fluid levels just LOVE to fluctuate and mess with our heads, don't they?? You know if you keep doing what you're doing that all will be well. (of course, I think Silly already said that ... I knew I heard it somewhere!! )

BJS, woo hoo on 3 pounds. That just feels great, doesn't it?? Especially at the doc's office!!

Christine, great job ... your success is very inspiring.

And just throwing out a hi to a couple of the newer ones -- Babs and Jerrica! Let's have some fun!!

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

hey thanks gals. yeh, I am loving the 3#'S, I was so discouraged by last weeks only 1 #.. But this evens it all out I guess. We will see, what Monday brings. I could gain it all back by then. So...

But thanks.. Lets hope it sticks, perhaps another pound or two will lose their way by Monday?

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

I'd like to join your challenge too. I hope I have enough time!

I plan to meet my goal by:
- Working out! I plan to do at least 30mins. of cardio 4 times per week
- Eating less (duh)
- Keeping a positive attitude (which is VERY difficult for me)
