  • Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

    even though you are watching your carbs, your calories are really high, I"m not sure how that works. Can you eat lots of calories a day and still lose weight? a typical day for me is a cheese string for breakfast, some of a grocery store rotissorie (spelling) chicken for lunch (mmm wings ) and two eggs for dinner. I get a slice or two of tomato in there somewhere, but that's it. I drink a lot of tea, mostly medicinal, and a greens alive drink (packed with veggies and stuff, only 1 g digestible carbs per serving). I've been on induction for 11 days and I have lost 17 lbs, I don't exercise formally, but I run around while I"m doing my laundry and do high impact floor scrubbing (wiht music on to dance). I plan on staying on induction for at least two more weeks. Are you eating a lot of aspartame/splenda? your body burns the alcohol first, right, so maybe that's slowing you down too. Now that I think of it, you can eat liberally can't you? Since you're on a different metabolism... but eventually as the cravings subside and you get control of your appetite, you generally eat less. I"m not sure. at any rate, you're on the right track, keep going, you'll succeed a lot faster if you perservere than if you give up!

        I was wondering if I could join you fine people. I have a december 19th deadline on losing weight. I want to lose 20lbs in the next two months. It's a lot of weight, but I have to shed these pounds.

        Chubby and Desperate, you don't seem to be eating enough. Atkins isn't a low cal diet either, just low carb. Make sure you get your three cups of veggies and water in. They are extremely important.

              Here are pictures taken on Sunday, Oct 14th. I weighed 230 pounds, but hopefully somewhat lighter now (I only weigh once a week, so we'll see!).
              I'm including a "cheese pose" because I really need to work on my arms and you really can't grasp how flabby they are when my arms are hanging straight down. I WILL get in great shape!

              I took my measurements on that day, but I don't have the info with me at the moment...I'll post them tomorrow.

                          Emma, I forgot to post what my goals were! I would LOVE to lose at least 20 pounds by Christmas. My weight on Sunday (Oct 14) was 230. If I lose even more than 20 pounds, I'll consider it a treat from Santa!
