Me too! haha... we'll get there guys its all about figuring out your body. I haven't used a ketostick today yet and hope I have good results. I had a theraflu packet last night... it didn't say anything about sugar but did say natural flavors, hopefully I didn't screw up... but I felt bad and wanted to take something. Speaking of which I need to go find some tylenol... anyway- Just wanted to say Hi! I will check in with yall later!

yeah you guys can sure use my duster... I got up and did 10 on the bike, and will head out side this afternoon, and ride along with my kiddo jogs or wogs 2.2 mi...she is starting to really break thru....down 3 more pounds this week and a bunch of inches...I mean finally after 3 mos..she is starting to really break thru...
You know Caitlin my daughter is 15. She has hung in there every single day of this 103 day journey..Never cheated, but has only lost half the weight I have. She had matured in this process of never giving up even tho things have been so slow for her. She is the best follower out there! I mean she stays right with me. She can go faster but I can go farther...she is coming into a whole new level of things. THe best follower out there...She was just on my mind today!

Hello, just thought I'd check in!
I am 3.5/20 for my goal--weigh in was on Friday. I had an AWESOME workout yesterday, and a good one today, still hoping to go on an additional walk and rack up some Corn Miles. I'm feeling really good, and when I looked in the mirror at the gym, I saw my old "athletic" body poking through, reflected back at me. Muscular arms, defined facial bone structure, strong shoulders, strong legs, and an actual waist! I am feeling so good this week, I'm not even nervous about TOM. I ran at the gym today, and it felt like it used to...if not better! I haven't had that much spring in my step in YEARS!

OK enough blabbing, I just wanted to check in because I'm so excited about how my body/outlook/attitude/health have been changing for the better!

Great job Juli!! That's awsome!

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Juli, You are amazing, you are just sooo fired up...It reminds me of when Rachel really got fired up over exercise recently. It's great to link arms and make our way to Iowa to help another Atkineer...Nothing like having some extra meaning in it all for us!

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Well guys, I had better get my butt in gear here . . . otherwise the New Me is gonna start looking and feeling alot like the Old Me. Having a rough time staying on track the last few days (like almost a week). I gotta hit 2007 as a better person then I am today, I have to . . . that's why I'm in this challange.

Going back on induction to get myself back in control.

Hi Everyone!

I think you are *all* doing an amazing job! I feel so inspired when reading these posts - whether its you've had a good day, or not so good! What I like most of all is the attitude here, and how everybody looks within to find the answers. Not to mention I love the support!!! I dont have a doubt, that in the long run we are all going to be winners here

You know already about my fall off from induction and I think I mentioned here, that I wasnt going to weigh myself until I had completed it. However, that said, and because I have started induction once more - Im going to make Fridays (like Juli) my weigh in days as well as the day I will take my measurements - I think I need to do this, so I can keep on motivating myself whilst having a picture of where I am heading. Iowa wasnt it? *grins*

So from my last weigh in I was 5.2 down of the 25 pounds I want to lose by the New Year. 11.5 inches lost (and even though I dont think Im losing in the pounds department I know that I am still losing more here).

Exercise - Sunday - 2 hour workout with my cleaning job - Man oh Man was it really physical and sweaty this week! Yesterday I walked the kiddies to school, as well as today (its Tuesday morning for me) and I'm just about to get off my behind and go and do my "Sexy Arms" workout with weights. Gym tonight and its all cardio - so I should be pooped by this evening.

Acck - Rikki girl! Im still struggling with my water!!! I am getting about 50oz in though, but I wanna get up till at least 70!

Hope your all having a great evening!

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

lol well, I think I pretty much topped off at about 70oz today... I don't wanna wake in the middle of the night so I stopped drinking a lot a bit ago hehe...
Well, catch up with you chicas tomorrow!
G'nite!

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Glug . . Glug . . Glug. I'm drinking my water too.

Going back to induction again. I totally lost it last week. I realized that in two weeks today, it will be my birthday. So my mini-challange is to go do a cheat free induction for two weeks, that is my birthday gift to myself. I'm going to stay off the scale until then.

I'm getting excited again. Yeah.

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Great goal Kristie! Maybe if you go cheat free for the 2 weeks you can buy yourself something really nice for your birthday in addition to you feeling tons better and on the way to better health

Well, I am running behind this morning but had to check in on my buds... I don't have time to cook this morning so i am stopping at sonic for a side of bacon looks like... and maybe a unsweet tea... that sounds yummy!

Well- Everyone have a great cheat free day!

Im gonna drink my water today!!!! 100 oz- how bout yall?????

[Outback Jess]

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

oh NO takers on that 100oz of water..If I had read this, I would have definately gone in on that one.. I drink at least 100 a day except on those few occasions. where I am unable to...I think I have done 100 oz, or 120 but I can't remember now...

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Whoo hoo Jess! thats fab! I have 66 down now.... only 34 left to go!!!! I can and will do it!!!

OH YEAH- and I finally saw some DARK PINK-PURPLE on my ketostix!!! whooo hooo!!!!!If they will stay that way now~!!!!!

I didn't really feel hungry today either- I ate breakfast about 9-10 and then about 3 I got lunch, my usual from wendy's finished the 2 jr burgers no buns ofcourse, then couldn't eat my salad, I started to eat it anyway and then said nope- save it for lunch tomorrow! yah! thats a BIG accomplishment, I tend to finish all my food, even if I am not hungry. I didn't used to be that way but hmmmm... I CAN do it. I CAN throw away the leftovers when I am satisfied- I don't have to be stuffed!!!!!

Also, when I got home tonight I had a snack of a few pork rinds with a dip made of 1tsp sr. cream, 1tsp ranch dressing, and 1tsp louisiana hot sauce. yum...
I was gonig to make it with just some seasonings for dip i had but read the label and of course, it had sugar so that is what I came up with instead... not too shabby!

OKie dokie- how is everyone else??????????? Where are you lurking????????

Hope everyone has a good night
