Calling all March Members!!!!

Re: Calling all March Members!!!!

Well talk about Serendipity. I decided that today I was going to begin living again. I am tired of being overweight and nervous about what I look like. Most of all...my daughter asked me to stay healthy so that we can be in an old age home together. LOL

So I will check into this thread every morning if that's okay and let you know how I am doing and get inspiration by reading everyone elses.

Thank you.

weighing might depend on many things:
induction = it's recommended that you wait till the end of the 14 days then weigh.
lifetime maintenance at least once a week.
everything in between = once a week

but having said that, many many people weigh every day or at the very least, every other day.

you actually don't need to check in here every week but are welcome to do so if you want. we're simply adding the totals of pounds lost by the march (join date) members so see if they can beat the socks off the October membes.
and next month, the april member get to take a stab at it.

Re: Calling all March Members!!!!

Ummm.... sorry I'm late - haven't been checking in properly - I actually started near the end of Feb. 2006 but you can put my 40-ish in Feb or March. Wish I could just count the lost pounds but it seemed wrong not to deduct those I gained back throgh no fault but my own.

If it weren't for this diet though, Heaven ( 773H, too) knows where I'd probably be today!

Re: Calling all March Members!!!!

Hi Jimmie, I started in March, and had lost 42 pounds but have gained 4 back and have kept it, but I'm determined to get this off plus more by the end of March. I'll report back by the end of the month.

mickkey
although i am sure the march members would love to have those pounds added to their total, your join date is .....

Join Date: Jul 07, 2006

now the JULY members are gonna love you adding that 42 pounds and more in just a few months!

Re: Calling all March Members!!!!

Jimmie, oh I see......I did join in July but quit and restarted in March the following spring. My bad.

calling all march members!
march is swiftly coming to an end but there is still time to post those losses!

Re: Calling all March Members!!!!

Put me down for 18. I lost a total of 35 but gained most of those back. Well technically, I think I've lost 28,358 pounds, but gained them all back. Or it could be I lost the same pound 28, 358 times. Go figure.

Re: Calling all March Members!!!!

OK Jimmie,

I think I'm a March 2006 person...

So, what do we count? Do we count from the first time I started Atkins or my re-start the second time ( there were about 6 or 7 months in-between... I don't really remember)? My first weight was 230 and the second was 192 and I'm at 140.5... if we wait till tomorrow it will probably be 140 again...lol (fingers crossed)!

So, right now from the high it's 89.5 pounds. But, I'll check back tomorrow to see if we can officially make it 90 again!

Re: Calling all March Members!!!!

cher, what we want is the difference between the highest weight and what you are now or what you will be at the last day of march.
you did it exactly right.

oh and i owe you a goalie certificate!
