Let's see, I'm hopping back on the wagon so I'm going to say 145, that will give me great incentive. My reward will be fitting back into summer clothes, I can't wait !
I have really been re-motivated by this mini challenge! I'm lettting my water intake slip tho. so I hope that won't affect me this week. I have to get it back up to 8 glasses. Other than that doing good
breakfast 3 egg omellete with mexican cheese
lunch tuna with mayo on lettuce
dinner grilled salmon with sauteed peppers and onions (not the best choice of veggies I know, but it's all I had in the house.
been tempted to whip up some heave cream with sugar free chocolate mix for a mousse but I think I'll try to get by without it.
have a good night!
My goal for the fourth will be 160-about 20 lbs to lose. Sounds like alot, but if I can keep it up the way it's been I might be able to do it! We are originally from Louisiana, and we're going back to visit around that time, so my reward will be some new clothes to show off to everybody that I've taken off lots of baby weight-45 lbs of it!
I would like to join the challenge. My goal is to exrecise at least an hour at least 5, preferably, 6 times a week. But 5 will do.
Susan, I have been doing Atkins but cutting down on some portion sizes and have found I have much less flutuations up and down in my weight. It also cuts out the carbs or calories debate from waging in my head
I am on Atkins and have been since the start. I tracked my calories for 2 weeks just to see what they were and it was 1200-1400 calories a day. I don't eat a whole lot of fats but love my ranch dressing. I try to keep my carbs at 20-25 a day.
lilybelle, sounds like you're doing awesome with both the calories and the carbs
welcome new challengers
I've done ok today so far, salad for breakfast and lunch (I'm out of groceries!) and I'm drinking a 12 oz. diet coke and should be drinking water but oh well
Today-
Breakfast-3 slices bacon 1 egg
Lunch-Pepperoni & Ham baked with cheese
Dinner-Small Salad & Grilled Beef Sausage
I'm starting to do better with my water....I hate the bland taste, so I've been taking a tiny wedge of lemon & squeezing it in like they do in restaurants-it's much better to me that way. One lb already gone from yesterday!
Today I had bacon and eggs and cheese for breakfast. I had a salad with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cheese, turkey and ham with ranch dressing and 1/2 cup strawberries for lunch. I had a power bar protein plus carb select (what a name) 1/2 before the gym and 1/2 for an afternoon snack.
I drank my 8 glasses of water.
I did 70 minutes on the treadmill and did my strength training.
Wow Susan! That's great! I had to have to post mine following that!
I'm afraid that I'm not going to do good this week.
I am volunteering at the school book fair all week and am having problems getting my water and meals.
breakfast 2 eggs with cheese
lunch atkins breakfast bar
dinner roasted chicken breast (with 2T BBQ sauce, i know, i know)
asparagus
4 cups water only so far!
YIKES that doesn't sound too good.
Oh, I'm bummed! have to think of something that I can take to snack on. I tend to do better with several small meals throughout the day. I've been missing my cheese stick and harboiled egg.
need2loseforme2: do you like the sausage sticks?? or packaged cheese? I think sometimes those come together, the sausage and cheese. summer sausage is a good take with you snack too...be sure to always check carbs but those have been good fallbacks for me when I was stuck somewhere.
Susan: you are rockin' woman!!! that is a LONG time on a treadmill!! I can't wait to see your results on the fourth, how exciting!!!
Just the THOUGHT of weighing 150 on the fourth of July helps keep me going!! All the parties, races and family things that happen that month are always so fun, and will be even more enjoyable this year!!
I want in..... yesterday was my 22nd birthday and I am at the heaviest I have ever been. I am ready to get serious and start losing weight. I mean right now I FEEL unhealthy. I can feel it when I walk, talk, breath, sit, anything I do. Right now, I am at 268... I want to weight in at 253 July 4th. I know I can do it...I have a wedding to lose weight for!

bnsbmommy1 - That's where my problem lies - I don't really eat beef or pork just chicken and fish. so this is a bit tougher for me. But you know, I might be able to find turkey sausage or something like that. Hmm good idea! thanks
Ok, I'm in...
