Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

Awww Pink, I'm sorry to hear about ur bad week. I'm glad that you've found it within you to pick urself up, dust urself down and give it another go!
We all get times where we're down , its just keeping strong and getting through it altho I find it the most difficult thing to do as I'm a comfort eater and the minute I get sad I want to eat bad things and binge eat.

You can do it Pink, keep going, stay positive and post on here when you feel like things aren't going the way you want them too. We're all here for each other to support each other through this challenge, WE CAN DO IT!!

very bad week... a lot of family stress...caused me to breakdown completely after finding my ccll was so low- only 35. confirmed it this week. began cheating with both mexican food and chinese food in my decision to give up because my carb limits were so low. resolved to just give up and go back to my heavier weight. but in these 2 days i'm up 3 lbs already and now i'm feeling like I can get back on the wagon and try again. dh is trying to reassure me that the 3 lbs is likely water weight from the high sodium processed foods.

so, i'm back to 0/10 to goal. but I now have a ccll. so I just need to do my thing and stay at the carb level I know to be appropriate for me, however difficult it is. I guess with the 2 months nonstop menstrual bleeding that has coincided nicely with my full-time ketosis status and the start of my new birth control pill it just got to be too much this week...

I'm so ashamed. I made it through Halloween and now this... back to induction for a few days...

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

I am not going to weigh or measure this week after having to way up my carbs for 4 days because of the glucose tolerance test I managed to gain 4 pounds in 4 days sigh. I know most of that is jsut water weight but I need to give myself a week for that to stabilize out. I will check in a week from tommorow with my numbers.

Hello, Everyone

Sorry to make this so short, but I am so tired that I can't see straight. I have read all of the posts, and will come here tomorrow to participate.

I just wanted to stop by real quick to report that I lost that last pound, and have made goal. Yay!

Keep up the good work, everyone... you're doing great. And to those who are frustrated, please hang in there! You WILL succeed!

Hey Everybody,

Congratulations on the weight loss and sticking with the program. I just wanted to check in. My weight is now 290 lbs. So I'm 11/26. On a side note, I found a reciepe for the flax seed bread, which is suppose to be only 1 net carb and it was awesome.

Re: *~Christmas Challenge~*

I have been on and off since I signed up for this board on Oct. 15th. So I started back 7 days ago at 184 (again) and since have gone back down to 177. I have been cheat free for 7 days and am working very hard at staying cheat free to reach my goal by Christmas. So, I will see you all at the finish line 15lbs lighter!!! I will do this. OH, and Awesome job everyone!!!
