  • Woot! Woot! Sue you keep going!!! Almost got this challenge in the bag.

    Traveler the scale is going down even with the minor cheats. You are doing awesome!

    Sarah I am with Sue. That gain will be gone in a snap.

    I was running late this morning so no weigh in for me. But fingers crossed for tomorrow.
  • SUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! I'm so happy to log on and see you over that 100lb mark!!! WOW!!! Congrats!!!!

    Traveler - hey we're neighbors! I"m in SW VA lol

    Sorry been absent a bit - I was swamped at work last week with my boss being on vacation - never got a chance to breathe! lol

    TOM is still going nutso - went to the dr Monday 6/2 after just ending a 3 week TOM visit - and so help me God, started again on 6/5. I went for some labwork on 6/6 and am seeing the doc again on 6/25 - it cannot get here soon enough!

    Mara - good luck with your surgery!!

    I did finally weigh lol - last time I weighed was when I won the last challenge, so was happy to see a loss on the scale.

    And, I"m happy to report I held out on the eclair cake - I did not give in to the temptation. Still going strong with no cheats, while I want the sweets, I just want the weight loss more! lol And being in this group with all these challenges and accountabiilty makes me want to do well all the more.

    I don't expect this to last.....I went running in the morning and weighed myself afterward. I usually don't work out until midday. I even removed my hair tie so dip below 168. :-)
  • LOL Traveler.. I try to shed everything! GOOD weigh in for you!

    Mara - Welll I hope you have a down tick.. I had an uptick.. but that was due to my Twix episode from Wednesday night showing up this morning (the 2 day rule) GRRR...

  • Way to go Traveler! I too shed everything before weighing. LOL

    Sue tomorrow will be a new low for you. I just know it.

    I am up a little, but I knew that would happen. I did eat a brownie last night. Caved to a little stress eating. But it is a momentary glich on my downward push.

  • I am up, but I went to a cookout at a friends house this weekend so I expected it. Probably should not have had the second beer. I will not be discouraged. I will see the water weight come off soon.

    Sue it is definitely water. Stupid salt always causing problems. Tomorrow will be good for us!
  • Hello,

    My baby ended up getting sick on Thursday. He wouldn't let me put him down for 36 hours. He is all better now but has a terrible rash that doesnt seem to bother him.

    As far as dieting, I did well on Thursday but not so great on Friday. My problem is that I don't have enough Atkins foods that I can eat in a hurry (one handed). What are your favorite quick foods?

  • Hi ladies!

    Been trying to log in from work but I think they have blocked the site or something lol it won't work

    I had a gain and was very upset. I've been so diligent and have not ate anything off plan.....got on the scale yesterday and had a 4lb gain!

    I finally figured it out though....stupid Nyquil. I knew better but just still didnt clcike till i saw the scale; have been sick all last week and thru the weekend and was taking it several times a day.... 19 carbs per dose! Ugh!

    6/16: 330.0
    6/17: 328.2

    I am going back to daily weighing, I really hate loosing progress. Had another cookout this weekend, stayed away from ice cream and cupcakes...then step on the scale and see a gain was very disheartening.

    Sue and Mara - good luck! It'll come right down I'm sure!
