Hi everyone!

I'm thinking of upping my exercise this coming week. I've been SO lazy lately it's a little embarrassing.

Liz, happy you're back! I've missed you!

Congrats rosecat on the loss!

bjs, hope next week is a better one!

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

Hey guys...Thanks for the warm welcome back. I felt so guilty for staying away. Like I was trying to hide from you guys. Thanks to all of you who PM'd me during my absense to scold me. hehe! Love ya'll!!

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

WoW Saty... I can't believe this group is down 92 pounds ( with only 1 pound from me...LOL ). Actually, I was 161.4 today...but, I'm banking the loss for next Monday.

I think some people will be down 15 pounds by Halloween! I'm so impressed!!!!

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

All I can say is WOW!! So I disappear for a few days and you are all a bunch of LOSERS!! Yayyyy for all of you. I had a conference to go to this weekend and had so much to do before I went that I literally could not even think about doing any non-work/essential computer stuff. Exercise took a hit too, which really made me mad.

Ha, but the conference is over and I'm back in full force. Oh, and I've brought a really nice head cold/very sore throat with me.

So where was I? Okay, Silly, what a great job hitting goal. You should be so proud of yourself!! And what a great picture. Beautiful!

Valid, nice fireworks show. Sorry I wasn't around to enjoy it sooner. Love it!

Saty, I was going to comment on your 18 pounds as being awesome, but I think if I'm reading right you're now down even more. What a great job.

BJS, we all know how darned frustrating that scale can be so just keep doing what you're doing. You know the pay off will be there.

Cher, I'm glad everything is going in the right direction for you too! Stick to it. I'm sure gonna try.

Liz, we think we can hide, don't we?? But they find us eventually! Good for you for jumping back on board.

Loana, nice to see you. Hope you're feeling better. And I hope I'm feeling better soon!

Food wise I've been doing basically fine. One bump in the road on Sunday afternoon at the conference. Pretty much over some candy. That was probably my first real serious diversion from plan since June.

And you realize a couple things -- first, it makes my stomach upset now and, second, those demons really are there. Because once I started, I could hardly stop. You know, after all these weeks, the habits have changed and I don't even think about eating the bad stuff. But then it was right in front of me for the whole weekend and I realized that I'm still not totally in control. Good learning experience.

Have gotten back to my normal exercise even with the sore throat. I was really, really mad that I couldn't fit it all in last week. But other stuff just had to get done first. I am doing anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour and 15 on treadmill/elliptical/WATP five to six days a week.

I borrowed a weight set and Denise Austin video from a friend and I think I might start them today. I have never really lifted weights, but want to see if I can start toning up some of this loose skin in some places. It's gonna be tough to fit it all in because I really like doing the hour plus of cardio. Maybe if I start doing 15 minutes a couple times a week or something.

Oh, and I will go and post last week's 1 pound. With my Sunday eating, not sure if anything else will come off this week. But that's okay. I'll probably check that tomorrow and see if I can report anything else.

Whew, I think I'm somewhat current now. Boy, it sure feels good to get back here and post a little bit. I am so so glad to see everybody's successes and support for one another. How great!!

to everyone!!

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

Nana, so glad to see you here again! Sounds like you've been super busy.

Hey Liz!! Welcome back! How's it going today?

Cher!! I'm really proud of everyone, including you! This challenge is a ton of fun.

Christine, how is the increases exercise going?!?

I've been doing good, but I'm indulging too much with cream. Definitely pushing the 3 oz limit. I'm not vowing only two spoonfuls a day, or I have to dump out the entire thing! That's right, I'm going tough on my own butt! There's now way that I've been doing all this work, and then go an mess it up over a little cream!!!

I know I can do it!

to all!

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

So I'm back already. Guess I posted a little too soon earlier this morning.

Here to report 2 more pounds down this week!! I am thrilled -- especially with my weekend deviation from plan. So I'm gonna run over to the reporting thread and post it.

Enjoy the day, everyone!

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

Yay Nancy... Congrats on the 2 pounds... you must have done something right at your conference.

Hey Saty... I've been doing well... Today is the 4th day back on track. Ten more days then I'm definitely moving up the rungs!

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

Hi, all. I signed up for the challenge and have been working towards it, but now I have no idea how much I weighed when I signed up! I was thinking.... I wish our signatures would stay the same in old posts, rather than updating to whatever your current one is. Would make it easier to track stuff like this.

A friend is tracking our weighloss on a spreadsheet. I'll find my original post in here and see if I can figure it out!

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

I know what you mean Adena! I can't wait to see what you've lost once you've figured it out!!

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

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow is weigh day for me (official anyways, I weigh every day) and it's up in the air whether I'll lose or not. I think I may be having too much salt on my eggs. I dunno...

I'm always excited the day before though.

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

Hi Everyone, congrats to those who've lost a a bit more!

I'm still at 158 for a few days, but that's good considering I've lost a couple of pounds since last week (after I fell off the wagon). Still going for 154 for Halloween!

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

Hey guys !
I'm strangling here. The last week I started to feel hunger again ... it is frightening. I'm on induction since June with no problems, no cheats at all and now all i think is food , something I never done before. I wish i knew what I'm doing wrong. Sorry to bother you but I haven't anyone to talk about atkins

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

Saty - I know you can control the cream! You're doing so well! I'm so proud of you!

Nanarama... congratulations on the 3 pounds this week! You're doing such an incredible job!

Adena... Do you keep a stats journal? I keep my weight and measurements in my stats journal at the beginning of the challenge.

Christina... hope you have a great weigh day tomorrow!

Lisa... Congrats on the couple of pounds that you've lost since last week. Wow I would love to see 158 today - that would give me a big, huge smile!

Olga - are you eating enough to keep you from getting hungry? Make sure you're eating enough LC foods.
