Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Okay, I'm back. Guess I kinda fell off the wagon, but minimal damage done. I think I have a total weight regain of 3 lbs, so not such a huge deal. What is a huge deal is me realising how much I hate the induction stage (at least) of this diet. What a fricken drag. I find something that makes sense, it works for me, and I loathe it. I like bread! For an Atkins diet participant, that is a big time problem. Anyhow, like I said, I"m back. I"m not doing induction anymore though, I"m going to eat all the veggies (except for carrots and corn and all the other forbidden veggies) I want, and maybe that will help. I just don't have the time or money to sink into all these gourmet low carb goodies. But I will stay away from bread and rice and pasta etc.. and I will stay away from fruit and yogurt. I'm just not going to limit veggies and I am going to use whatever dipping sauces I like. Lets see how we do with that. I'll keep you posted on the weight loss as per the norm. I still am doing the christmas challenge and will accomplish it. Take care you all, and good luck!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Emma I did find a mistake in the list you posted. Sorry my mistake. Some of the weights show 2000 pounds or more... LOL.... that's because when I put in an amount for example 2/15 my spreadsheet thinks it's a date so automatically makes it 2/2015. Sorry Emma, please make sure you make those adjustments. I thought I caught all of then last night, but apparently not. I was getting a little sleepy at 1 in the morning. It was eaiser to put them in alphabetical order on my spreadsheet too, I was going crazy looking for everyone's name. Everyone should check their stats though and make sure they are right!


I'm down finally today so my total is 7.4 for the christmas Challenge
Keep up the good work girls... we will perservere!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Hey, Emma! Thanks for all you've done and keeping track of this awesome challenge. I'm pulling myself out of the challenge....I'm going to be doing some major inner focusing and clean up my act a bit.

Thanks so much!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Good going everyone. Sorry to see you go Apple, but good luck in getting yourself sorted. Life.

I've nothing to report, just checking in. Scales stuck for 6-7 days, but I'm on plan, feeling good and not worried as TOM is due and I don't expect anything much until that's out of the way.

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

As of October 31st I am down to 298.8

That's a loss of 9.6 pounds so far for the Christmas Challenge

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Hey everyone! The scale started moving again tonight. Hooray. I'm officially down about 3.5 lbs from the start with 6.5 lbs until I reach my goal. I'm going to try 40 again next week and see if I lose (cause I went back down to low 30s for the end of this week due to the gain- grrr) and see if I lose on 40 carbs/day now. If I stop losing or gain weight then I'll know I've found my CCLL threshold.

OWL is a bittersweet journey- while adding new foods in has been fun it's also been aggravating cause I constantly wonder if I've hit my limit. I'll be sad and shocked if 40 is it!

But, at least the scale is hitting new lows. HOORAY!

NExt week I do daily berries at 40 carbs/day and then I get to try WINE in time for Thanksgiving!!!

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Hey everybody. Great progress here! So proud of you all.

After a long break from Atkins and gaining more weight than I'm comfortable thinking about, I restarted induction on the 28th. I've already lost 5 lbs and feel great.

I'd love to join you guys in this challenge. I did post here a few days ago requesting to join, and PMed Emma, but haven't recieved a reply and haven't been added to the list. Again I would be very excited to take part in this.
