I hope you all don't mind me joining in this challenge. My goal is to be at 148 by July 4th. That is a 12 lb loss. I am planning on increasing my protein intake but not doing strictly atkins diet.
ok bad news is didn't lose any weight this week.
good news is didn't gain any! (and I lost 3 inches the past 2 weeks.
2 eggs for breakfast
hot wings for dinner ( THanks for the great recipe) with low carb ranch
so far that's it and it's 7:30. only 4 glasses of water. which I know is what is screwing me up.
Well off to the fridge so suck down a gallon!
hopw you all had a better weight loss week than me!

My goal is to be at 175 by July 4th. Not a huge goal but it will be kind of a challenge. Luckily I am hitting the gym 5-7 times a week and walking a few times a week on top of that....
kspence - looks like you are well on your way! Keep up that gym time! I WISH I could-but I don't get much time to myself with 3 kids, so I'm stuck with whatever I can do in my own living room for exercise....
Scale hasn't moved in the last few days, which is unusual AND disappointing, but it's probably because of TOM-I guess I should be thankful I'm not gaining water weight because of it.
I'm leaving for Mazatlan, Mexico on June 2-wish me luck, ladies! Mexican food is MY FAVORITE, and I'm gonna be constantly tempted by the beans and rice, not to mention the margaritas! I refuse to undo all the effort of the last 2 months for a few frijoles-I'm going to keep this challenge in my head to ward off the bean demons!
Hi everyone, I am maintaining at 150 and sure would like to see the other 5 lbs. drop. Even 149 and I would be ecstatic. I have been to 2 luncheons these last few days for graduating seniors. Stuck to the meat, salad, cheese and deviled eggs. Passed on lots of desserts and lots of great looking dishes. sometimes, it seems we should lose weight just based on the fact that we passed up this no-no food. It doesn't ever work that way for me. I think I am getting too complacent and need to just get a kick in the butt and get in gear. My treadmill is calling me. I had Oats for breakfast, no lunch, and steak with salad and green beans for dinner. I need to increase my water intake for sure, too many diet sodas and am probably retaining some fluid. Good luck to everyone, I Will LOSE THE OTHER 5LB. by JULY 4TH.
Well I changed the goal weight from 155 to 160. After doing the math, I didn't think it would be a logical goal. I can't bring set myself up for failure.. LOL So, I shaved 5 pounds off. Didn't think that was to bad.
Hi. I am a newbie and latecomer to this, but I would like to join in the challenge. I would like to lose 20 pounds total by the fourth of July. I will reward myself with a trip to the beach with my hub if I make it. I actually saw this forum 3 pounds ago, so I am counting it (I know, I know - cheating already.)
I FINALLY went down another size to a 14!!! I tried some on that I already had and.....success! Bought a new pair of shorts and a pair of jeans today! I was starting to get disappointed-I've lost almost 30 lbs and had only gone down one size until now.
