I would like to join! I would love to get this weight off by Christmas

My name is Cynthia. I am a married mom of 4 and my goal is to lose 30 pounds by Christmas.

LunaAshling · 06-28-2009, 04:39 PM

I am having some intense sugar cravings.

So I ate a small apple. Figured it was "better" than what I really wanted. I think I need to make some lc cheesecake or something to pop in the freezer.

LunaAshling · 06-28-2009, 08:26 PM

Hi Cynthia!!!

lemonmama · 06-28-2009, 09:56 PM

I'm in! This sounds like a great goal! Thanks for thinking of it.

Katrin · 06-29-2009, 06:32 AM

Im starting today, my starting weight is 211.
Blessings!

LunaAshling · 06-29-2009, 08:33 AM

Another mom, wooohooo!!!!

LunaAshling · 06-29-2009, 11:42 AM

I think tonight I am going to make some mini cheesecakes, just to be prepared for the "I want sugar gimmies".

Two more days ladies!!!!

cruzin4150 · 06-29-2009, 11:53 AM

day 4 here.. down 4.5 lbs.. feeling really crappy today... this is when I usually lose it and give in.. just need to fight through the headache/foggy feelings!!

no going back!!

Luna - I may need to do the same thing today.. make something to get through..

Hope everyone is doing well.

LunaAshling · 06-29-2009, 03:48 PM

I found an ancient box of Dreamfield's pasta in my cupboards. We are eating on that today to get rid of it.

I don't want it whispering evil things to me next week.

LunaAshling · 06-29-2009, 03:52 PM

So roughly what kind of "plan" are you all going to do?

I am going for Atkins (with a Nourishing Tradtions ie: all the "weird" things in the natural eating forum). I have to be careful as there are many items that can't be in the house due to son's ANA food allergies (for example all nuts are out). I am not sure if I am going "strict" induction or not yet... my hubby is.

How about you guys????

lcq · 06-29-2009, 05:50 PM

It's just me DH and DS aged 8.

And I am following a Low Carb Plan......not entirely Atkins but definitely Low Carb

And I will be trying to stick to real whole foods and keep away from the prepackages LC stuff

Nuts are definitely what i call emergency food............i keep them in my handbag for when hunger strikes unexpectedly.....but luckily for me they do not call my name once they are in the house but i know some people can't have them around

LunaAshling · 06-29-2009, 07:35 PM

We walked two miles tonight (half uphill with me pushing a stroller).

that1redhead · 06-30-2009, 08:36 AM

I have a DH and 2 sons who are 10 (for a few more days) and 13. I need to lose 90-100 lbs. I did strict Atkins in 2004 and lost 95 lbs. I kept it off for about 2 years and then started eating more and more and now am right back to where I was before. I don't think I am going to do Atkins again. I am going to try to limit calories and portion sizes this time around.

cruzin4150 · 06-30-2009, 09:17 AM

Good morning. Day 5 here.. down 6 lbs. Yesterday was rough. But I fought through it. Feeling good so far this morning. Have missed exercising the last couple days - need to get a grip on that next.

I am doing just a general low carb thing. I just try to stay with Meat, Veggies, and very occasional treats (sugar free jello)and nuts. I eat alot of salads. This time around I am seriously paying attention to portion control.

LunaAshling · 06-30-2009, 09:25 AM

Woohoo Christy!!!

lcq · 06-30-2009, 09:44 AM

I am also trying to keep things simple.....meats veggies eggs.
I am hoping for good results in the next month

WOOHOO!!! Cruzin

VGrace · 06-30-2009, 12:07 PM

LunaAshling · 06-30-2009, 09:39 PM

SCPeachey · 06-30-2009, 10:30 PM

... I really need to get back on track as I have regained every pound I lost a few months ago

... I'm Dee I have 2 kids, my daughter will be 19 in August and my son is 10 and id love to drop some major pounds by Christmas... I rejoined the gym today and im just waiting on a chance to get in to see a trainer... I really would love the support

... Im a fan of Atkins 72, it works well for me...

VGrace · 07-01-2009, 12:01 AM

Thank you Luna! Good luck tomorrow,you will do great!

No exercise for me today,rest day.

Hi Dee! I feel your pain, a year ago I lost almost 30lbs doing Atkins and regained it all in one year. I am so disappointed with myself. But I am picking myself up and really sticking with it this time!

lcq · 07-01-2009, 08:54 AM

going good so far.........just taking one day at a time

cruzin4150 · 07-01-2009, 09:11 AM

Happy July everyone!

I was good all day.. ketostick was dark purple this morning.. oh well, I won't dwell on it too much.. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing.. Feeling pretty good today. Will for sure get some exercise in today..

V & Dee !

Katrin · 07-01-2009, 09:29 AM

Christy, it's probably just water, dont sweat it! Your doing great!

Katrin · 07-01-2009, 09:30 AM

Good Luck Everyone! We will have a VERY Merry Christmas. Just visualize it

Cyn150 · 07-01-2009, 09:52 AM

Good Morning Ladies

Today's the day!!! I just got back from a brisk walk at the park

I did a little over a mile. I would have done more, but DS didn't want to wake up to go with me this morning and I don't like walking alone. In fact I waited until I saw a couple of people walking and walked behind them

not directly behind them, but you know what I mean! So anyway I stopped when they stopped!

As for my plan...I'm not ready to do strict induction just yet. I'll just be omitting all the whites and sweets for know. I know I just should just jump in, but in prior experiences I seem to fail that way

Good Luck!!!!!

Starting Weight 211
