I'm retaining water right now...mainly due to bad plumbing. Went up a half lb. to 191.5 this morning.

newme: I hope you're soon finished your 7-day shift so you can enjoy your 7 days off!

Welcome Shan!

Up and down, up and down is the name of the game! I feel swollen today too, so pretty sure it's water retention. I took B6 and 12, so hopefully that will help.

Tuscany: Sorry about your uptick! I figured you have this challenge finished by now! :) I am on my "7 off", but I worked extra yesterday, and they just called wanting help tonight. It's ok tho, the extra Money is needed!

Shan: Hope things are going well for you!

I was up this morning, which did not make me happy! I seem to want to hang onto these 190's!

Hi all. So made it through week one back on plan. Lost 10.8lbs. We all know that's going to slow down quick. The jump back on plan was really simple. Already starting to feel like myself again. Hate that I went off plan for a month but we really didn't have a choice living in hotels for a month. Anyways, all is well here in China. Back on plan and have my small goals set between now and the summer. I'm still contemplating adding in more exercise because right now I just get daily fitness from walking to and from work (about 30 minutes total), and walking some stairs at work. I know I need more...but exercise has always been my biggest downfall. Lifestyle choices with food on Atkins has never been a problem. Once I'm here, I have never felt the need to be anywhere else. So small goals, I want to be under 300 by July. I haven't updated my signature yet to reflect my gain from my month and a half off plan. Think I will just keep that to myself. Also, I want to stay with my Atkins lifestyle induction choices until I become pregnant and we plan to start trying again in July.....so lots to plan for and be excited about. For the near future, just working and staying on plan.

Still not there, but getting close! How are things going, newme? Shan: It's tough to stay on a diet when you're traveling. Good luck getting back on plan!

Sorry to have gone so many days without posting! I tried to post Tues. but I deleted it twice and then gave up and went to sleep :( This week has been TOM, so I have been up and down!

Shan: Great job getting back on plan! Exercise is my weakest area too!
Tuscany you have almost won this...and probably have by today!

Hi newme and Shan. I finally made it to the next decade this morning! That said, given we haven't accumulated too many participants, I don't think I'll start another challenge, but will just hop on one of the other challenges that are out there. Hope to see you there!
