Century Club New Year, New You 12 Week Challenge***Team DELTA****Week 1-12****

[MaryMary]

Hi everyone,

Well, the YMCA was open today so I hopped over there at 8 am and did my weighin for the month of December. I lost an additional 4 lbs. bringing the total loss to 181 lbs. Each month comes and goes and I figure that I can't possibly lose any more weight even though I know I am still carrying some flab, and inevitably a little more falls away. I am very grateful to God for giving me the gift of abstinence each day, and I am grateful to all the wonderful people in my life who support my program.

I am grateful for learning to be honest with my food, having an open mind about my program and a willingness to be willing to change myself.

Warning! I will be conducting an official roll call when the week 6 thread arrives, and I will be chasing those who haven't replied after 3 days.

So please post, even if it's a 'I'm still here' or even just a smilie sign lol. I don't want to lose any of you. No matter what, each and every one of you are an important and integral part of Delta.

HI Nikki, I'm here Still being good though I don't feel like I have lost anything this week. ( Might be the ham) I will weigh later today and let you know. Please say a for me because I need something good to happen. I have been very down. It might be PMS or just the post holiday blaas. But I'm still hanging in here. Sometimes I just feel old. How old is "old" anyhow? Sometimes I feel like it's too late for me and my life is over, at least the good parts.. Sorry, I'm whining..Just feeling low for a lot of reasons.

[kisses41]

aaaaaw cheer up IW

I think its the time of year as lots of people seem to be feeling down.
It seems a long time till summer too,,,, but it will come!
How old is old??
Who knows!
In the UK we sometimes say you are as old as the man you feel, that makes me 3 years younger than I am really!!

Hopefully your stall will break soon and you will feel a bit better.

Take care,

Lorraine xx

Tracie

[TracieN]

I orignally determined that Stats would be due onthe 29th of Nov. the 10th of January and the 15th of febuary

SO. I think I have goofed by posting that Stats are due now as we enter the 6th week, They are accually due by next Monday, after the 6th week has ended....

I am sorry for the confusion.


Tracie

[LFTS]

Checking in for the week. How's everyone surviving the new year?

I started another egg/meat fast this morning, swam 30 laps, and will go back for weight lifting this afternoon.

Salt is evil. I've elaborated elsewhere. Just trust me... Salt is *evil*.

[stilltryin]

patti...i never thought of the ham..i ate an over abundance of it over the holidays..plus i did not drink hardly any water...today i am doing better with the water............................................. ........i know exactly how you feel i have been tired and sometimes think it is too late in life to even worry about things, like how i look..until i see my one neighbor who is 70+ she looks fabulous always upbeat..always watching her weight and always wearing makeup..always ready to go...always taking care of herself..that is something i need to work on for sure..
i just joined a group on the challenge board ...its called swans...its for woman who want to build confidence and self esteem..and become beautiful swans ..i sure hope it works.. LOL....check it out ...
i am sooo glad the holidays are over..glad to get back to a routine
have a great day !

[HeatherNicola]

I need everyone to send me their stats please. We are now half way into the challenge, and as Tracie says, Lets make the next 6 weeks really count.



Nikki

[HeatherNicola]

Hi all the new thread is now open. Yes we are into week 6. Time seems to be racing by.

Nikki

[Impoverished Writer]

Hi again,
Well I made it to Curves and happily I'm down 3 pounds I needed that though for some reason I still have the blues. Hormonal I guess.. I'll post again soon.

[NuttyNeeta]

I am not doing the measurments. I know I've not lost anything and since the holiday cheat.. no sense in hurting my heart worse than it is right now.

I WILL weigh in the next time.

[HeatherNicola]

DON'T PANIC!

Tracie has posted that it's next week for the official weight and measurements for the half way stage. Phew I for one am so glad!

Nuttyneeta having gained 8lb over the holiday period myself I'm fighting my low self esteem as well. So come on have another

Nikki

[NuttyNeeta]

PHEW! where is the 'wiping the sweat off the brow' smiley?

I've done well these last 3 days. I'm down 4 lbs. Good eh? I'm still not quite under 300 yet, but 2 lbs shy, so i'm not changing the signature stats.

(((( Nikki )))) I'm with you hon!!

[girliefriend]

Just doin' a little happy dance for y'all...

[HeatherNicola]

I've been very good since the New Year, but I'm scared to jump on the scales. Now that's unusual for me normally I'm forever jumping on and off them sometimes several times a day.

Congratulations Neeta on your 4lb loss onwards and downwards lets keep up this momentum.

Now I'm off to locate some missing members. Christain springs to mind for one.

Nikki

[quiggley]

I was just now able to get back on here for some reason this site would not load I could get everywhere else but here.

I am going to try and get back to the Gym Tonight I am going stir crazy not exercising.

[Division56]

Hi everyone,

I haven't been here in a while, but I thought I'd check in.


I binged over the holidays, but I haven't gained a pound.

[HeatherNicola]

Some people have all the luck! I binged and gained 8lb. Apart from that, it's great to see you back from your holiday Christian.

Nikki

[kisses41]

Morning all

I for one am very pleased that we don't have to submit our measurements until the end of the week!!

I've been peeing for England so hopefully some of my jelly belly will be gone by then

I need to go into town to buy some gloves for DH this morning and I'm going to leave the car in the drive and walk,,, haven't felt this determined for ages!!

Have a nice day

Hey There Delta,


I will tell ya all, I am a bit frustrated.

I just had 2 people drop out of team Sierra today and I have a few MIA's........

I know that this team had dwindled too...........

I am looking for a head count......... Theloserwins, will you please PM me with a list of your CURRENT, ACTIVE MEMBERS......

Thanks.......


Tracie

[jax93]

I am still around, even if I haven't been posting. Sorry that I haven't been very supportive of all my team members!! Just trying to get my head back on straight since I haven't stayed on plan for weeks. I have been unsure about continuing this challenge because I have been screwing up so bad.

Anyway, I've been eating legal, not induction levels tho, since the 1st. Pretty lo carb count wise, but not 20 or below. Drinking water again, weird how you crave it when you get off the sugar and flour! Started walking outside again, even though I HATE cold weather. Starting to lift weights again with my son this time, hopefully we can keep each other going.
So anyway, I'm trying, I wanted to make sure I could last more than 2 1/2 days before I posted anything. I must have re-started a dozen times and that was the longest I made it, most time I was lucky if I made it a day.

Hope you all have a great day!

[kisses41]

I wonder where everyone is ?
I knew it would be a bit quiet after the holiday but not this quiet!!!

I'm still plugging away,,, not quite induction either more owl I suppose.
I don't feel like I've lost anything yet and am dreading getting the tape measure out
!!

I've had to resort to taking some laxatives today as I'm having my normal bathroom issues,,,hopefully I will feel less bloated when they work.
I eat plenty of veggies and salad but probably too many eggs I think.

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

Lorraine

[HeatherNicola]

Watch out!

Is coming to get you! She is going to send all Delta posters a reward of either lost lbs or lost inches. So get posting to receive your prize.

On a serious note, I know that life can get very busy, but I just don't want this team to die from apathy. So in an attempt to get everyone posting again I'm resurrecting the question of the day.

So here is the first question.

'What is the first thing you will do when you reach goal?

To answer my own question, I think the first thing I will do is jump back on the scales to make sure I'm not just imagining it!

[HeatherNicola]

Jax: It's great to see you back! I have been worried about you. Though I am now very proud of you. Keep posting and never feel that just because you're struggling that you can't post here.

Nikki

[jax93]

Well, when I reach goal I'm going clothes shopping!
When I maintain it for 3 months I want to get a tatoo.
