Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

That is only 8 days away OMGoodness! I still have 8.2 pounds to lose in that time...hmmmmmm, what to do what to do?? Lol. So what is the challange name for November? Up with Turkey...Down with Carbs? LOL, j/k.

HUGS ALL!

Maybe we should call it: "Attention, All You Turkeys!" Actually, I kinda over-extended myself with the Challenges this month ... I think in November I'll just do the Water Challenge and maybe one more ... need to drink more water, definitely

You and your hubby are super-cute, Liss!

Yep, one week to weigh-in ... where in the heck did this month go? Where in the heck did this year go?

HUGS back!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

I agree, where did this year go? Years go by so much faster ever new one it seems. I swear, I remember holding my son as a baby, and now he's 8!!!!!

Well, I'm going to go make breakfast. Hope everyone is doing well this cool Friday morning...( It's perfect here right now, lol)

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Hi Guys!
I have been feeling so good since I started watching my calorie intake and making sure i am over 1200 but under 1300. I love Fitday. I put in all my foods in the morning and then I know what I can eat throughout the day.I feel myself shrinking. I gave up my sweetners also. No more diet soda..just water and 2 cups of coffee in the morning without my splenda. My rings are even getting loose instead of cutting off the circulation to my finger ..LOL. One more week to weigh in to see my progress. I cant wait!

Hope you guys are having a great day!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Loose rings, Razzle? Can't argue with that! Sounds like you're doing really well ... I like FitDay, too; keeping a food log is so important!

An actual cold front is supposed to come in soon, and dip the nighttime temps down into the 40s ... love it! I'm sick of sweating

The Tampa Bay Rays are holding their own in the World Series ... go Rays!

And that's about all I got! Have a great weekened, fellow Challengers!

Hey Fellow Halloweenerz

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!

I have finally got my Halloween costume.. LOL I'm really not sure about this..

So now all that's left to meet/beat all my challenges for this is to lose the weight.. I'm afraid that may not happen.. as I have fallen off the wagon so to speak.. I'm hoping I can turn things around, cause I'm sure feeling the effects of cheating!

PS.. Norah Thanks for the lil vote

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

I have been MIA for a while!
Well I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts in the begining of this week so I've been taking it easy. I haven't even checked my e-mail.
I met my weight goal of a 15 pound loss today!!!! Yay!! I've gone from 347 on August 2 to 317 on October 26. That is amazing!!!!!! That little(big) black dress still doesn't close but I still have 2 weeks, so maybe?
I haven't exercised in a while because I am still healing and I DON'T wanna go through that immense pain again. Hubby has been really nice and helping me out with everything.
That's all for now.

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Razzel, I know exactly what you mean about the rings!
My engagement ring is one size bigger than my wedding band. I have to wear them the wrong way to keep it from flying off. I could just take it off, but I love it so much and I haven't even been married a year, so I'll wait until at least a year (Nov. 30th, 08.)

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Oh, Tink ... so sorry about the cysts (ouch!) but a big round of applause on the weight loss ! And you and Adam make such a nice couple!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

So my weekend has been full of kid halloween stuff. I am proud to say that I have not even smelt the chocolate candy bars that are ALL OVER the freakin house!! This is getting hard. I think that my losing slowly is actually keeping me so straight on the no cheating path. I've worked so hard at the little that I've lost that NOTHING is going to mess that up now, lol. So there it is.

Everything has been alright. I didn't eat much yesterday and today, stomach not too hungry I guess. My veggie intake the past two days has been next to nothing. I'm not too sure what is going on.

I had a oh my goodness amazing omlet this morning, and could only eat half of it before I was just too full... so odd.

Anyhow, I'm going to MAKE myself eat tomorrow. Isn't that funny, I've never said that on a diet before, lol.

Hugs ~ Liss

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

You must be producing plenty of ketones, Liss, if you're not hungry Make sure you eat your green veggies, though, hon! You've lost almost 26 lbs.? Awesome!!! AND not tempted by the Chocolate Monster ... w00t! You are a goddess!

I did another one of those home cholesterol tests this morning and my total cholesterol continues to drop like a rock! I'm doing the other half tomorrow morning - for HDL levels, the "good" cholesterol - and that's the one I'm concerned with, since it's been dropping like a rock, too, and that isn't good Gee, generally weight loss and regular exercise will raise it considerably ... can't understand why it's going down.

Anyway, other than that, it's a great day!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Do Ketones make you not hungry and a bit queezy? If so that has to be reason. I at this moment am looking at three eggs and some bacon and I've made myself eat a couple bites of bacon....and I don't want any more. Hmmmmm.

Anyhow, I'm going to make myself eat my veggies today, even if that is really all I eat (I'm still going to try with these eggs though, lol).

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Oh, and I have to add in there, I still have not weighed myself. Can't quite recall how long it's been because I'm doing my best to not think about it, lol. But I will weigh in on Friday =)....

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

You don't want to take in too few calories, Liss ... then your metabolism will go into "starvation mode" ... then when you get your appetite back and start eating normally, your bod won't know what to think! But ketosis (lipolysis) does reduce appetite ... I know it did with me, at first; had to remind myself to eat! However, if you go below, say, 1,200 calories a day - that's starvation mode and that ain't good :P Also, my understanding is that it's best to break up your carb intake over the day instead of, say, just having a good-sized salad at dinner. Well, the queasiness may be a return of the "Induction Flu," if your carb count is really low. Maybe break your meals into snacks every couple of hours?

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Thanks Norha. I just did a bunch of research and you're right I need to eat greens throughout the day and often. 1.5 months on Atkins and NOW i get the "Flu", lol...go figuar. I'd have to admit that this didn't start until skipped a few meals the other day because I was too busy cleaning...so... Welps, good to know there is a fix for it =)
