Good Afternoon, Friends!

First, I would like to report a 1 pound loss for the past week, for a total of 3/8 pounds lost for the Challenge. I am waiting to do my measurements until the end.

Cher, don't be too envious of my 148 pounds. I am only 5' 2.5" tall, and I can see by your ticker that your BMI at your present weight is already lower than what mine will be at my goal weight. So, you are doing mighty fine.

CDRAKE, Apple, Julie, Kathy, Don, and Liz - Boy, I sure do appreciate the kinds words about my new siggie pic. You're sweet! And, wow, you people are amazing with those pounds and inches lost.

Don, good for you for working OWL. I have been hovering at 45 net carbs for the past 3 weeks, and have had a 1 pound loss per week during that time. I had a little pattern of a 2 pound loss per week prior to that, so I am thinking I must be pretty close to my CCLL now. I have been hanging out on Rung 4 for a little over a month now, upping my carbs to find my CCLL. I reckon I will stay at 45 net carbs now and move on up to Rung 6. (just can't do alcohol anymore... has made me feel bad for years and I never was a drinker, so I don't miss it) I have never really been a big fan of legumes, but I will give a few a try. I have worked hard to broaden my tastes this time around, and will see what I can handle from that rung. I have found many things on the other rungs that I *thought* I didn't like that I now enjoy very much. I am so happy for you that your know already that you can lose on at least 50 net carbs. Keep working it and continue to let us know your progress, OK?

I need to step up the exercise and that would probably enable me to eat more carbs. I am proud of what I do already, but let's face it - I could be doing more. I did get a 4.8 mile walk and 250 crunches in this morning... need to see what else I can squeeze in later today. Also, as I get closer to goal, I will re-evaluate and see if I will lower my goal weight.

I have a doctor's appointment tommorow morning to discuss the results of a physical and complete blood count I had done 2 weeks ago. I'll let y'all know something when I do.

Hang in there, guys, and keep up the great work. See 'ya around.

Hello to all my Atkins buddies. After my 2 week vacations I'm back, a little heavier than when I left, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Hey, but I'm back on track and hoping to stay focused until I reach my Labor Day goal and then my ideal weight goal.

Since this thread is soooo popular, it would take me months to read back where I left off and catch up. So never mind that. Congratulations to all of you who have lost lbs, inches, etc. I'm happy for all of you. And for those of you struggling, well all I can say is that somehow or another we'll make it. We're in this together and here to stay.

Mitzie, I love your new pic. Good luck to you on tomorrows physical. You'll pass with flying colors (#'s). LOL!

Welcome back, Elsy! Hope you had a wonderful time! We missed you and are glad you're back.

You do look great, Mitzi--I understand about being short, I think I'm 5'5", but last time the Dr measured, I was shorter. I'm thinking it was because it was less than 2 weeks after I lost my Dad and I felt kinda beaten down. I'm still claiming 5'5", though! Also, I have tiny bones, so I have to be at the bottom part of the weight level for my height to look good. Good luck on the exercise and the Doctor!

I dunno who's left at the healm to keep us in line while Julierama is off playing in the real world...I thought a certain person was but I haven't asked her yet, but if Self is willing to keep track, I nominate him 'cause he has a calculator

P10...Nice job!!!!

Mitzi, thanks for making your picture bigger in your siggy. It's nice to see your pretty smile and not have to squint to see it. Hope your physical goes well!
