She talked about it on her journal, and I just happened to read it that day! Not sure it was talked about too much. Her Challenge was to stick to YOUR WOE for 2 weeks, to start a good habit.

Not sure how many did it or how many finished. Nobody was officially invited, she just said if anyone wants to do it, please do!! .. I kind of butted in on her journal...

It is over now, but HEY WHY CAN'T WE DO IT AGAIN?? ..

Great job Deb! Five weeks is fantastic I will be joining you in about 10 days when I reach P3. I'm not going to focus on stabilizing, if I keep losing then so be it!

Have a great Friday and enjoy your early quit

Oh, okay. Great personal challenge. I'm glad it has helped you get back in the groove of things with Atkins

Thanks Meek! I think just taking it one step at a time, really helped me not panic. I kept saying if I can make it today, I will decide tomorrow if i want to continue. This conversation with myself was daily...

So by the end of 2 weeks of asking myself if I want to continue this day, I was hooked again!! Now it is all about losing fat and getting healthy. No matter how long it takes..

I'm actually pondering staying low-carb and doing JUDDD. I did good on JUDDD the first few weeks until I decided I could make every UD a total free for all NO BEER, NO BEER We were actually supposed to go out Saturday with some friends to a Monte Carlo night but I don't think I'm going to now. I have a baby shower on Sunday from 12-3 and I don't want to be tired and/or hungover

Well JUDDD worked very well for you and your lifestyle, so go for it!!.. Whatever works best for US as individuals, is really what we must do.

I love how you are talking yourself through these things and making a decision based on how you will FEEL and what is best for your progress. You can do it!!!

Aweee, thanks Deb! I appreciate your support very much. It's a struggle for all of us and I agree, we must do what we feel is best to fit our lives. JUDDD did work very well - especially on weekends. I was able to go to a restaurant with the family and eat a sandwich if I wanted. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but it was awesome to order a club sandwich or grilled cheese Oh, the simple things in life..........

Congrats Deb!! You're in your groove too...wonderful to eat good food and still lose. Thank you Dr. A! Hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

[Meek75]

Hiya Deb I hope you are having a great Sunday as well.

[Deb294evr]

Thank you Ladies! I had a pretty good weekend. It was fine eating wise, but yesterday I just could not get out of a funk. Felt starnge all day, depressed. Anyway, no reason that I know of why except I hate being so hot without a pool to jump into...

I guess what started me feeling bad was that our air conditioning didn't work although we just paid a crazy amount for a new Heating/Air unit to be put in last November. So that started my day badly. We did find the guy who installed it and he came out to attach 2 wires he missed.. Uggggg....

ANYWAY, today I am fine, and ready for this week. I am not real thrilled about working of course, but I am feeling good about losing weight...

Have a great day all!!

[shari]

Sorry you were in a funk yesterday...frustrating about the A/C but glad he fixed it. Hope you have a great week...hopefully it'll go fast like last week.
