B&E for din!

[tati_uru]

Can I join you ladies?
My name is Tatiana and I live in South Carolina.
I lost 40lbs. on low carb back in 2009, got pregnant in 2010 and gave birth on June 2011I am so ready to start this journey again.
I am 28, when I was 22 I was 230 lbs, lost 60 lbs and then gained some. Well back in 2009 I was 200 and by December 2009 was 160, that my lowest weight ever!
Right now I am 221, I started low carb again on January 3rd 2012 and willing to lose 40lb for mi son's 1st. Birthday in June. Can we do it? Yes!!!!!

01/03-221
01/13-216.8
01/20-Will weight in tonight

[BlondieBlue]

Hi Tatiana!!!

I'm 27 and about the same weight as you. I like finding people with my similar age/poundage.

I've done LC a few times in the past, lost 20-40 lbs at a time, then bounce back up a few years later. 217 was my heaviest on 1/1 so on 1/3- it began again. hopefully for the last time!

[lilredinpink]

Ok so I know that I'm eating ok...it MUST be my water. I have been so busy at work I actually forgot to drink ANYTHING from 3...on. That can't be good. I am going to go buy a HUGE water bottle to put on my desk in front of me! Hoping that helps.

184 and holding

[tati_uru]

Thank you BlondieBlue. It's so nice to have some support and people that are doing the same as you.
We can do it! I can't wait for our after pics!

[Madison Ave]

Well Ive done ok....I'm at 179, not too bad, but, I got real sick with either a stomach bug or the induction flu. not sure which one, but, either way, for 3 days I drank nothing but broth. Guess I can't complain. Here's to a better week for us all.

[bearcubsden]

Beth - My thoughts and prayers are with you an your family.

Tatina -

CW 203 I forgot to post last night. I'm still on plan and going strong. Later I'll post my menu. Liz

[Vmfletcher]

Would love to join this challenge I have been on and off lc. Since beginning of dec. fell off AGAIN this weekend so starting induction again yesterday. My weight is 160. I had gotten down to 153.. But with all the cheating I'm back where I started ( so not worth it).. I'm hoping this is the platform I need to keep me excited and motivated

[sueshe]

Good morning everyone! Welcome to all the new people!!!

Today is day 1! I'm not feeling very good today, we are all getting the creeping crud that is going around, ran fever off and on all day yesterday, didn't even get out of my pajamas. Have just kind of the achy yucky feeling today with a background headache, but so far no fever. I got to work and my boss called out with a fever.. guessing it is eventually going to get me. Until then though....

Today's menu:

B: 2 eggs, 2 bacon slices, peach tea crystal lite
L: salad with only allowed veggies, ranch and another crystal lite peach tea.
D: boiled chicken(leftover) with roasted asparagus, cheese and green onions and Linda Sue's taco seasoning.

Started this morning at 219.5......so only downward to go from here!

Hope everyone has a great day!

[BlondieBlue]

Happy Monday everyone! weighed in this morning at 207.4
Think i'm not going to have any choice but to dust off that elliptical and hop on.

This weekend I made egg salad with Shimp and it came out really yummy.

water water water, trying for 4 liters before dinner! hoping with that I'll get a big whoosh drop soon!

How did you make your egg/shrimp salad? Sounds yummy!!

[BlondieBlue]

4 hard boiled eggs
handfull of cooked shrimp chopped (i used the little itty bitty ones)
a few spoons of mayo
a few squirts of mustard
dill (i loooove dill so i use alot- but to your preferences)

i dump the yolks and mix with the mayo/mustard/dill before i add the chopped up egg whites and shrimps.

Congratulations!!! That's so awesome! I can't wait to be there, feels far off, but at the same time it doesn't. Weird? I'm trying to stay off the scale until Friday...

[sueshe]

sorry I've been MIA, have been crazy busy at work.

Still struggling to get back on plan. Haven't been able to get the foods I need and everyone in my house has been sick.

Hoping to get this all taken care of and ready to be on track....keep thinking the longer I put off, the longer it'll be until I lose the weight!

[BlondieBlue]

I Have:

1. Stayed away from the scale for the last 3 days!

2. Wore a shirt last night that I normally feel is too form fitting (though not tight) where I usually have a muffin of belly up over my jeans, there was none (or it was small enough that I just didn't care).

3. Someone at work said they were jealous because they could tell I was losing weight.

Very Yay!

Excited to weigh tomorrow!

[sueshe]

ok everyone....let's get with it.....what happened to everyone? I'm working on the chart, almost have it done and will post this afternoon so we can see where we stand going into tomorrow's weigh in....

And BlondieBlue-BIG FAT YAY!!!! That is a wonderful feeling when people start noticing!!!
