Re: Independence Day Challenge!!!

Good morning fellow challengers! How's everyone doing today?

JSJ, thank goodness for this challenge girl. Since I'm a real scale addict, I'm just so relieved that we can come in here and report losses (or gains ) as often as we want.

I'm down to 184 today! I can't believe I've lost 8 pounds on this challenge already. YEAH!!!!

Re: Independence Day Challenge!!!

230/220/209 Is that how it goes?

Hoping SOON to hit 100's...golly it has been an eternity and no rememberance of being in the hundreds..

Thank you, for letting me join

Re: Independence Day Challenge!!!

Dream, thats fantastic! When I was in nursing school I used to walk the parking lot and around the building during my lunch. I never had anytime to exercise..and that worked perfectly. Good thinking, and keep up the great work!!!!!

RoxyRobin, I am so glad you came to join us!
I just ment your starting weight for this challenge. So if you are currently 220 then it would be 220/220/209 and then as you lose weight and report the middle number changes. So it's your starting weight in the challenge/then your current weight/ and then goal weight. I hope that makes sence! LOL

So today I am a little bummed that my weight was a little bit up. ugh. I swear, the 2 days I didn't work out it dropped and now its funny again. Oh well, it will be what it'll be. I just have to remember to keep doing what I'm doing and this weight WILL fall off. I work out like crazy, more than I ever did before. I can't wait for the 4th...it's be one whole month solid back on Atkins and I cannot wait to see the changes measurement wise. I know they are going to be great just b/c of the exercise. I feel smaller, I feel stronger, I feel healthier and I guess that's what matters.

Okay everyone, you all have a fantastic night! I hope th whooshie fairy comes to visit all of you tonight and for those who we haven't heard from in a while, we all hope you're hanging in there. =]

Re: Independence Day Challenge!!!

Dream, I've thought about doing that too, but I only get a 30 min lunch here at school. It barely gives me time to eat girl. Hey, but if you can, go for it. That's awesome!!!

Welcome Roxy!

Re: Independence Day Challenge!!!

Hey everyone.

So today I have a massive migraine that I cant get rid of to save my life, and on top of that the scale jumped to 163.6 this morning, but i think thats b/c I didnt have nearly enough water yesterday and had the nerve to eat sour kraut and kielbasa (cant spell it) but anyways it didnt hav enay sugar, but loaded with sodium. So I am already at 72 oz of water for the day and I am going to plan on have 48 more..so lets pray it helps...

Off to workout. This is going to be horribl with a headache. ugh

Oh btw, I wanted to let yu guys know, Missy is in the hospital. I cant remember who it was that posted for her but one of her family members logged in and posted that she was on onederland and was in the hospital! So congrats on the weight and a BIG hug and a get well soon!!! We miss you girl!

[elsy]

Re: Independence Day Challenge!!!

JSJ, so sorry about the migraine my friend. Ahhh, that's a bummer! I've noticed that too much sodium does that to me too. Well not necessarily a migraine, but a headache for sure.

Thanks for sharing about Missy. It was me who asked. Poor Missy. I hope she's doing o.k. and that she comes back to the challenge ASAP. That was nice of her relative to come in and let you know.

On another note, did I tell you all I've been cheat free for 30 consecutive days? I know! I can't believe it either.

[jsj0305]

Re: Independence Day Challenge!!!

Sorry I havent been around. I have had the biggest trouble with my left eye.. I left my contacts in too long and it irritated it and I couldnt wear a contact and it was super sensitive to light. ugh

30 days?! well its probably what 32 or 33 days now?!?! Girl that is so fantastic!!! It really does fly by! Tomorrow is one month back for me and it seems like I just restarted yesterday!

On another note, my weight is up again...not really understanding this. I mean I know that I am working out, I'm replacing fat and muscle but i would have thought I woudl have lost more than 6.2 pounds in my first month. But I will take pics and do my measurements tomorrow so I know that will make me fel so much better. I think I need to eat more, I hardly eat anything... food in the morning makes me absolutely sick. I hate it. But I think I have to teach myself to lik ti b/c I'm missing a whole meal a day and i think I am ruining this for myself.

Okay thats enough out of me! LOL

You guys have a SUPER great weekend!!

[dream]

Re: Independence Day Challenge!!!

Oh, JSJ... I sympathize about the migraine. I had one last week and it was miserable. I hope you get feeling better soon!

Elsy.. that's fantastic... 30 days cheat free!! Keep up the good work!

I'm finally on the right track too. The exercise needs work, I haven't done near as much as that as I should but I'm really going to try to stick with the walking.

I'm down another pound this morning so I only have 25 to go. 3.6# since I joined this challenge. I can do this!
