I have switched over to Atkins from calorie counting and the low-carb way has been helping me tremendously. It's only been a week, though, and I've had to do a little adjusting to eat more carbs in the morning on weight training days. But I certainly am losing faster.

Now, onward and downward... I'd like to lose 8 lbs by 4th of July :)

:woohoo: YAY!!!!! WTG girly! I am so proud of you girls!:bravo:

Things are looking up today and I am ready to be my bubbly little self again. I was just having late child support/ex-hubby troubles and I was WAY stressed out and yeah...I ate my feelers....again... *sigh* But it FINALLY came today so all's well in Roni's world now. ;)

I'm looking forward to the next challenged also. I can't wait :D

Suzy

Do y'all want me to make another one for the 4th od July or has there already been one started??? I'd be more than happy to challenge you girls and support ya along the way. :D

Hello Ladies,
Checking in... it has been a REALLY LOOOONG time since I have posted. I have been very frustrated and struggling with this plateau that I have been on FOREVER!! I have only lost 2 lbs!!!!!! AAAARGH! I finally gave in and met with the trainer at the gym who measured and calipered (HUMILIATING) me 2 months ago, and I have lost 5% body fat, so at least I know I have been losing fat, and I must be building muscle. It is still making me crazy not to see the numbers on the scale change.
I have been keeping on plan and exercising like a fiend! I have even been doing 2 workouts/day 3 days a week - 4 days/week of boot camp and 3 additional classes of cardio contact (boxing-kickboxing). I had better see some more results soon!!
At least I feel good.
Hope everyone else is well. Thanks for letting me vent!! I know I have allies here. Memorial Day is still 25 days away. WE CAN DO IT!!

Hey ladies!! I don't even remember the last time I posted here. Well I went on a two week binge and now I'm back. I know there's no way I can make my 20lb goal by memeorial day but I'm going to lose the most I can. I'm back down to my start weight for this challenge of 188. I'd at least like to get down to 180. I'm recommitting.

OOH yes Diva, please make another one. There is one for the 4th... but it seems dead... I tried posting there and have seen no activity. This one caught on like wildfire, so I would love it if you did another one :)

Had slacked off a lot and had some problems but going strong again. Started the Fat Smash Diet on April 30 and have already lost 4.2 lbs so I think if I keep at it I could possibly lose close to my memorial day 20lb goal!! But Ill be happy with 10!

Saturday! FINALLY!
 

HELLO EVERYONE! So I have been MIA for the past week, way too busy! ughhh I have stayed OP, had to kick up the intensity on my workouts cause for 9 days I lost NOTHING, and after 2 days of a higher intensity workouts I dropped 2 pounds quick! I was AMAZED. I think my body got used to the routine I had, so I had to swiftly change it up.

So here is my Weight in.

Suzy

Yeah I haven' done too well either. Even on weeks that I am OP and doing well I am lucky to lose 1 lb. *sigh* It's very hard. I think trying to lose weight and get my sugar under control are two of the hardest things I've ever tried to do.

Okie, I'll sure do one then, closer to when this one ends, unless Y'all think I should do it now. I think I'm gonna make it a Lose poundage & Exercise Challenge!
