Thanks for the warm welcome ladies. Here's a little bit about CAD for those not familiar with it. It's basically a low carb plan that allows you to eat 2 meals with no carbs or starchy vegetables (meat and low carb veggies only) and one reward meal each day. You can basically eat ANYTHING that you want on the reward meal: however it has to be a balanced meal. 1/3 each of veggies, meat, and carbs/starchy veggies,dessert. For me, the plan has given my control. I am a carb addict for sure. CAD has calmed "the beast". No more hunger pains, and no more cravings. I use the Leslie Sansone 2 mi. Walk Away The Pound tapes for exercise. Also I'm down another pound since my last post. I am totally committed to a healthier life style.

Hey guys...just checking in with my exercise...

Yesterday....lifted weights...30 minutes...

Today...1 hour of step aerobics...

Welcome to the new members....good luck...

I'm on Protein Power and enjoy it... They basically suggest lower fat meats...and cheeses... I adhere to the meat, but don't particularly like lower fat cheeses...except for mozzerella... Anyway...I feel lighter but am still stalled.... I was eating lots of smoked sausage, bacon, and other processed meats which could have been causing the stall... I eliminated them this week and also decided to not eat after 8:00... Let's see if I can do that one...lol...

Good luck all...

Hello All,

I went to the gym today, here are my stats:

30 minutes on elipitacal machine 2.31 miles
20 minutes lowerbody work out

I must confess, I have not been true to the induction these past few days So, MY NEW GOAL is to start (restart my induction as if it were day 1). I was having such great results. It is true about addiction (at least for me) it is better to just give up what is controlling you. I also had a much better attitude when I was sticking to the program. So I am restarting and plan to at least go to the gym 3x's a week.

Hi
just been on atkins about 3 days. I need the support of my sisters to keep it up. I'm having a hard time finding things that I like to eat just cant go for zuccinee.[COLOR=purple]

Total from Yesterday...130 minutes and 5.63miles (Ketodiva, I adjusted the numbers to reflect the change that I made for you)



Here is the information that was posted after I did the totals earlier:

Exercise Challenge
Amiee3377 30 minutes 2 miles
Skinnyme 20 minutes 2.31 miles
Skeeweeaka 90 minutes
Feebee67 2 miles
Total: 140 minutes 6.31 miles

Cummulative Challenge Numbers
270 minutes and 11.94 miles
We should have no problem reaching our goal. Just look at what we've done in two days. Come on ladies for those of you that haven't contributed to these numbers. Let's move something. It doesn't matter if you walk for 5 minutes, you are still benefiting from it.


**Please check the total that I posted for you. If I need to change something please let me know. I'm tired Good Night ladies.

TOM is starting so my exercise will be limited tomorrow.

Welcome Newbie!! Sorry I missed you all.

Red, I didn't forget yours. You did a new total to include your number so I took your total and subtracted 45 min. for ketodiva to get the new total that is posted.

Thanks

hey Aimee I'm moving but not that fast. I did 2.31 miles in 30 minutes (maybe after awhile I could get it to 20 minutes )

Going to the gym after work. Will put in an update

WELCOME Newcomers

I didn't do my exercise like I was suppose to. This might sound odd but I have PMS bad, meaning that I bloat and cramp a week before AF, and then I'm able to workout during (strange huh)...So forgive me, if my numbers are a little low this week. At least I got to do some Sunday!!!
Take Care All and continued success!!!

Oh by the way I've started a journal.
Please feel free to stop by and comment.

Please only count your minutes or miles per exercise not both.

20b430--it's ok about exercising as long as you are moving
How about changing you siggy statement to 30.5 not 31.

Things are going great. I never made it back to post yesterday, but here are the results of my exercise challenge. Yesterday I did the Firm Ab Sculpt tape. Very hard but very good. Only 45 minutes. Today I did the Firm Body Sculpt lower body workout. Only 35 gruelling minutes. But I'm sticking with this with your help. Also, I tend to hold a lot of water--sometimes as much as 10 pounds. It happens after I eat fish or some other foods, but I know it's water so I just keep flushing my system and in a few days, I lose it again. For example, my signature has 265 as my current weight. But in the last week it has climbed to as much as 274. Yesterday I was about to start freak, but I stayed on course, drank water all day and today I was down to 269. By the end of the week I'm hoping to see 265 again or even better 263.

Losing weight has more ups and downs than the stock market. But you just have to keep on doing what you're doing and be patient. It goes down eventually.

Take care, ladies. Talk to you soon.

Hi everyone
Thanks for the welcome I am so proud of my self today I ate bake chicken maybe 3 gr of carbs and pork rings. I also had my first carb solution bar, it made me a little quizy but I'm not hungry now. I am so proud of my self

for my workout:

20 minutes of taebo
20 minutes of walking
50 abd crunches
50 right side crunches
50 left side crunches
and 50 back crunches

kind of scared to weigh my self though I think I'm retaining water.

Hi Angel,

I have a quick question. How long did it take you to do your crunches? I need to know the time so that I can add it to the challenge.
