Hi Everyone,
I'm completely new to the online forums. Really have no idea what I'm doing but I'd like to join the challenge. I'm going on vacation next week :carrot: and my goal is to just maintain for the week. Then I'll be back and hitting it hard.

Congrats to all the losers!! Keep up the great work!!

I was up 1.4 last week, but this week I'm down 4.2 -- so I'm pretty happy with that. I've lost about 7lbs so far through this challenge...not quite the pace I had hoped for, but I'll take it since it's going in the right direction overall.

Okay -- catching up on weigh ins since last Thursday...

Larry -- I just saw you hit your 100lb milestone, that is amazing! Congratulations on all the effort I know that you had to put into that. :hat:

Samadhi -- You're doing so well, 2.2 is a great week, adn you are down 11 lbs so far so I think you are on track to hit your goal and possibly even surpass it!

LBC -- I'm not doing Dukan, but I do follow a plan that is low carb...once I got into it a bit I found I don't really miss the carbs all that much. After a while you collect a bunch of new favourite recipes and you can have wonderful flavourful food without the wheat/potatoes etc. If you are looking for some meal ideas just ask, there are lots of different low carb plans and someone is bound to mention some that will appeal to your taste buds.

Jami -- Sorry you showed a gain last week, but I'm confident this is a temporary stop in your journey. There is no way you can eat as well as you have been and exercise as much as you have been and not see a payoff -- it's just taking longer than expected. How about water, are you getting lots of fluids?

AprilSnow -- Great job on the 3.2 this week!

Sickof300 -- Welcome to the challenge!! :welcome:

MT Linda -- :welcome: to you too!!

ShoeCrazy -- Congratulations on a great week... 2.2 is awesome!

Kismet89 -- Thanks for joining in! :welcome:

Envelope -- Wow, awesome week for you!!! You've passed your own halfway mark :) I like the way you track what's left.

Sweettreat -- You lost, so that's something to celebrate :) You could have stayed the same, you could have gained, but you worked it and you lost some. Next week will probably be bigger, not to worry.

Welcome to the thread, new friends. Hello Everybody.

This week starts school with TOM on the horizon for next week, but I had a really nice WI this morning, so right on. Puts me back on track I think for my goals for the challenge.

Thanks for the pep talks and the love when I was in the No-loss badlands. I may just have to realize that's the way this journey goes.

Oh good. one more thing to teach me "Zen" oy.

Nov 24: Shooting for 245

It looks like a good week so far in here. Yay! :yay:

I am down 1.4 again this week to 166 even. My original goal was to be 140-160 by T-day. If I can't lose 6 pounds in 13 weeks then I need to head to the doc again, so I am officially changing the upper end of my goal weight range to 155. That's still less than 1 pound per week, but it's at least more of a challenge than 160 and I also have mine and DH's anniversary and his birthday between now and then.

WI day tomorrow for me. :crossed: and :goodvibes that I don't have to show another gain! :yes:

ShoeCrazy -- WTG! That's a nice loss for this week missy!

Kismet -- :welcome2: and :goodluck: Your goal seems aggressive but reachable and that's a good combination!

Samadhi -- Nice loss for you this week. Woo hoo!

envelope -- Wowza! You are totally rocking this challenge girly! Keep up the good work!

Sweets -- Any loss is a loss...TRUST ME! My scale keeps going up and I CANNOT explain it. Take that .4 and CELEBRATE!

Angie -- Thanks for the kind words! AMAZING loss this week for you lady! Woo hoo!

Rennie -- Yahoo! GREAT job!!!

Wyllowbelle -- Nice work this week! I'm in the No-Loss Badlands right now myself so I'll try to remember all the great advice and support you got! ;)

Roxy -- Nice job Miss Roxy!!!
