I'm in! Minimum five pounds. No buying Halloween candy, I'll give pretzels.
Rho I hope you get your stove hooked up soon. I always had gas and we simply replaced one with the other. Perhaps the place where you bought it can recommend someone.
Lindy- you go girl, with that P90X! You are going to be one hot mama before you know it.
Sheski- this is a drama free thread, we are like a small family here. I don't understand your post either.
AnaB - don't feel bad for trying to make Rho feel better.
To everyone else - we can do this! We are never giving up, just step away from the carbs. lol
how close was the tornado to you today - the picture from the Belt they were showing on tv was incredible!
we have a call into one person who is away - I've had a few people mention this guy - and that he will call for sure when he gets home they are sure of it. So will wait on him.
went to a party at the ocean tonight - the weather held off for us until we were driving home-had a cloud burst when we were on main street - then it stopped and the next one was right after we got in the house -- our luck held out great.
Ate the innards of a piece of an Italian Hero and a green salad - and drank water - Stayed away from all the yummy stuff on on my plan - and even said not to the little girl bringing around the dessert she made - I felt evil saying no to her I just explained that I couldn't eat sugar but that it looked delicious!

I'm glad you stayed on plan at your party rho and yikes about the weather, I remember you saying the forecast wasn't great but didn't put that together with the tornado news!
Serenity, with halloween is it just the one night that you need candy on hand to give out? If so, don't buy it ahead of time and destroy anything you dont' give away!
Hi everyone! I'm entering a crazy couple of weeks and am gonna need extra "no carb" thoughts from all of you great supporters! My hubby's bday is Tuesday, my eldest daughter's 5th bday is Wednesday, I have a work trip Thursday, my daughter's bday party is Saturday, we have two concerts the following week (2 rare date nights and both in one week - yay!) and then a long weekend family trip/anniversary celebration the following weekend. WHEW!! There will be MANY cakes and other temptations, but I'm remaining focused on the Halloween Challenge (and beyond)! I think this is what it is really about - a true life change involves living your life and all that comes with it while remaining strong and making good decisions always. Wish me luck everyone!!!
You can do it! Just have a plan, what you are going to order/eat. Maybe pack some snacks. Even an Atkins bar is better than a piece of cake if you don't want to watch everyone eat. And on date night you can have one drink if you are on owl.

I know the 13 pound weight loss is water weight because it was my first week on induction, but it sure does look good on the scale!!! Hopefully I can maintain a steady 3-5 pound weight loss per week moving forward!!!

Hope you're going well on induction summer. I am feeling great (well, food wise, Ive had a cold/virus again I can't shake but staying on track with food). I love how fast the weight comes off at the start. I got up to 201 again but this morning I was at 196.2, down from 199.2 on Monday.
I think my goal will be eating clean every day and to track every day. The tracking is esp important as I am realising I actually eat really low cal when I go into ketosis and I don't want to do that too many days in a row.

yay -- not on the sick part but on the weight party --- hope you are feeling better by now
went to our grand-nephews birthday party today and did great - but I did split a piece of cake with the hubs - some things are tradition and I didn't eat a whole piece or more than one piece - just split it - so learning future skills to help in the forever part of this plan
Uff... Bad, bad weekend! I ate what I shouldn't and I paid the price with horrible stomach pains... Haven't check the scale because I only weight on Fridays.
Taking it easy this week with food. No more getting off program for me!!!
I am at 151 (before the weekend lol) 11lbs to go to reach my Halloween goal!
