Re: No Tricks, Only Treats Challenge: Look BOO-tiful by Halloween!!!

Mitzi, you are doing so good! That is fantastic! Keep up the good work! Looks like you will be at goal weight before you know it. I still have 37 to go. Hopefully after tomorrows weigh in, it will only be 35!

I think I jinxed it! BOOO HOOO! No weight lost last week!!! Zippo! Zilch! Nada!

On a good note though. We had a regional meeting today and I had several people that had not seen me in awhile that came up to me and said how great I looked and wanted to know how I lost all the weight. Most thought that I must have had either the lapband or gastric bypass surgery since it seemed to be coming off so quickly. I just smiled and said no, I'm just eating right by following the Atkins plan CORRECTLY and exercising consistantly.

Afterwards we went out to lunch. Have you ever noticed that when you are losing weight, you aren't the only one watching what you eat? Everyone else wants to see what you are eating as well. What is funny is when they know you are doing Atkins and since they usually have a wrong preconceived notion of what Atkins is, they are almost always surprised at all the foods that are actually legal for me to eat! I have even had some go as far as to tell me, "you can't eat that, you are on a diet!" I explain that I'm actually not on a diet, I am just trying to avoid foods that I know will cause me to overeat!

Re: No Tricks, Only Treats Challenge: Look BOO-tiful by Halloween!!!

Don--sorry you had a bum week, scale-wise, but congrats on all the great comments and astonished faces at your meeting! I love eating in front of people now, to prove that I *do* eat real food, healthy food. It's always funny to watch their reactions.

Oh, crap LOL... not to worry, Don. You are so on track that one week without a loss is no big deal. Heck, I do that too, sometimes. It will start falling off of you again, I know it!

Bootie! Look at you go! Well done.

Gotta go - see ya!

AND....she gives into the peer pressure!

Ok Julie...last time I weighed was on the 4th of September and I weighed 175lbs. So, put me down for 5lbs by Halloween. It gets harder to lose as we get closer to our goal. 170 lbs.....HERE I COME! I'll report any (hopeful) weight loss this Wednesday when jimmie lets us hop on our scales! YAYYYY

I'm sure I will look much slimmer than in my before costume pic!

Re: No Tricks, Only Treats Challenge: Look BOO-tiful by Halloween!!!

Don---sounds like you had a great day despite the fact that the scale is being naughty, at least you're not. Cheers!

Sweet---ROFL....that's a great picture. I've seen a guy wear that one before at one of the church carnivals a couple years ago...made my night.

Bootie---great job so far! I'd call you an overachiever, but that would mean I'm green with envy ....

So far I'm just here to root everyone on since hubby has removed the scale from my sight .
