Carb Counters - 4th of July Challenge

I wanted to get another challenge up and running before I start to lose ambition. I didn't make May's so I'm anxious to give it another shot. :)

July 4th Challenge

Trazzie - 203.5/195

I'm in for trying for 4 pounds (seeing how I'm a slow loser lately).

I am in too. My goal is to get down to my prepregnancy weight by my son's birthday (July 20th). Since I am currently at 215, then I will set my goal for July 4th at 204. That way I can focus on those last 4 pounds in the two following weeks...We can do it girls!! :strong:

Okay ladies....I'm back and in full force! I've got clearance from the good doctor to go back completely on plan, so I'm aiming for 10 pounds by July 4th.

Count me in, I want to lose 15 lbs by July 4th which would put me at 260. I set it higher because a group of us are going to start doing Induction strictly on June 1st so weight loss at first is rapid normally. :goodvibes Then, I get to settle in to whatever my regular weight loss will be per month. My number one goal is only weigh one time per week. Another forum I am on weighs on Friday so I think that will be it. :fr:

Okay, I'm in.

Yeah! I need a challenge too! Today is my first full day back on Atkins and I am stoked heheheh! :lol:

I want to get to my end goal by Christmas (that will be my big present to myself!) but for July 4th, I would like to lose 11 pounds. That seems do-able since I know the first 2 weeks on Atkins are a big water flush! :) I have tracked my weight weekly since 1999, and I have not been below 190 since APRIL 2003! EGADS! HORROR! Time to do some serious fat dumping :cb:

Keri...it all very's. Some lose 5-10 the first week/2 weeks and then drop to a few pounds a week. Just pick a goal and shoot for it. I haven't made one of these goals yet :lol: Just gives us something to work for.

I am in too, I need to loose more before my big vacation on July 10th!!!

Me too.

I have lost 5.2 pounds in May, which was my first full month on Atkins. Now I know the second month will be slower, but I want to be optimistic plus I want so badly to be in 130s, so I will shoot for 5 pounds.

Better late than never, right? After failing my last 2 challenges (ok, so I got weak and ate everything I could get my hands on... as long as it wasn't low carb) I swore I wouldn't be lured into another one. Yet... I LOVED it when I made goal sooo... Count me in. I've done a LOT of damage in the past 3 months so My lowest so far has been 172. I want 169.

Can I join your challenge? I have a few pounds I would like to lose. I have been eting low carb again (after falling off the wagon) for about 2 days. After headaches and fatigue, today I feel like a million bucks! Does everyone go through that period where they just feel awful? I have learned that too many carbs not only make me gain weight but just as importantly make me miserable...
I would like to lose 5 pounds but I will be happy with any loss. I am hoping since I am just gettin' started again I will be able to lose a little more than I normally would in that amount of time.

Gald to have all these other lo-carbers posts to read.

Welcome Luv...just jump right in!!

Thanks LoriAs,
I am UP 2 pounds today! ARGH!!! I will hang in there though. I am hoping it is some sort of rebound thing and I'll have a swoosh here in a minute.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome and congrats on all of your accomplishments!
