Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

I would love to join this challenge for some extra motivation. I've just started and Memorial Day is over 5 months away. I KNOW I can be in the 100's by then. I'll have to go back and read the entire thread, but I got all excited thinking about being under 200 by then.

Ok.. I'm going to go even lower and set my goal for Memorial Day at 190.

I am trying for 45 lbs. My goal is 186. Start weight was 231 I am sure I have gained a few through christmas. I was on a huge sweet fest . I originally wanted to lose 55 but not sure it is realistic. So 45 it is!!!

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Ok ... I am hereby officially requesting a mentor ... I posted this somewhere (where was my head then ?) but now I can't locate the post ... sigh.
Its not my first time with Atkins and I am doing ok ... but I need to be doing better. Have yet to cheat at all, although I woke up the other night dreaming that I had eaten several large cookies and I was so angry at myself ( thank goodness there aren't any in the house, so I am not even tempted)
I feel though that I need to have a little push now and then and someone to encourage and keep me accountable so that I reach my goals.
I'm off to the allergy doc here in a minute, so I'll post stats later ...
Thanks
Orann

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Orann-I have had dreams like that! Where you wake up thinking that you ate a ton of real pizza plus french fries plus chips! Feeling so angry at yourself until you realize that it was just a dream. I hate those dreams.

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Love2Lose, congratulations on losing 3.5 lbs.! Good job. And over the Holiday, too.

Orann, congrats over your 1 lb loss. Don't be frustrated about that. All of those 1 lb. losses really add up. Hang in there, it is coming off!

I was just wondering that too. I haven't had time to go back and read all the thread yet.

Re: Memorial Day Challenge...

Hi all, Yes....I have been missing in action since starting this challenge.....so glad to see so many people here. Since they blocked so many different type sites at work...one of which is "message boards" it has not been as easy time wise to get to the computer...although I must admit.....I have been running pig wild with my eating.... but, I will weigh this coming Monday (01/01) and see what damage I have done and will be on target from there. Glad to see so many have been doing what I had planned to do and dropping over the holidays...
Well, gonna go.
