Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

My body seems to never want to leave the 160s.....It gets real close so I will get excited then bam gains back 4 pounds.....I am sure its related to me being sick so please don't subtract my current loses.....Hopefully after this week my body will decide to move in the right direction

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Okay, so I went to Banff for the weekend, stuck with induction religiously, was looking forward to the happy scale moment when I got back, went swimming and walking each day, the scale hasn't moved. The ketostix say I'm still burning ketones, I'm following the rules, how come the pudge is sticking??? Losing so much so fast makes things worse in the long run becasue everything else seems so gruellingly slow after that. Needing patience!
I think I will start jogging, maybe that will help. I"m going to go right now. (after a cheesestring). I don't want a plateau!! Wish me luck, I"m off...
(maybe inhaling hot chocolate powder does count as carbs... )

Hi Emma,
I would like to join the Christmas Challenge.
My weight now is 145, but it's been that way for 3 weeks...I am in a stall.It may take me this long to lose.
My goal would be 134lbs

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Chubby&desperate-Just keep at it,the weight will come off eventually. I know how you feel though for the past 5 weeks I have stayed between 160 & 158. It does get very frustrating but I am keeping the hope!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

wow, 150-160 ish for five weeks would be frustrating! Are you doing induction through all this? I admire your perserverence. Thanks!

Thank you! I am actually on Rung 3. I stayed on induction for sometime and stopped lossing so I thought I would start climbing the ladder,I thought well I am not lossing anymore so I might as well(hoping it would jumpstart weight loss) but nope,
So now I am really really going to keep an eye on my calories. It almost feels like my body is too used to LC,I just wish I could think of ways to shake things up ya know?
Keep at it though! cause it will come off and this WOE is just so healthy I couldn't ever imagine going back to eating like before!


Sugar_ant-wow 5lbs is sooo awesome!!Congrats!
