Hey everyone,
I'm new here, but I would love to have the support of the group as I take this summer challenge plunge! I am going away to school in September, and I'm determined to lose 40 pounds before I go.....!!!!!!
Alison

woohoo you guys i am sooo happy scale says the same 185 its said for a week but by my tape measure i have lost 2 inches off my stomache and alot of inches off my thighs its funny my brand new 18s are soo saggy in the butt and thighs that one of the guys at work told me that i could fit another person in em with me LOL

Hey! In reply about the veggies....the book (Atkins) says that you can have up to 3 cups of veggies a day, but I usually go over that amount, so I really don't think there is a limit as to how many you can eat. I hope that helps!
PS...I've lost 1/2 pound! Go me!

Bye!

Sara

SaraBeth, that's awesome... my brother just got a black pontiac sunfire and I have a black pontiac trans am.

That's awesome! I kinda got off the diet a bit....I succombed to the craving for 3 Musketeers... But oh well, I'll hop back on my horse and get back with the program and all those cliches that have to do with not giving up. I'll chat later. Bye!

If I cheat with candy, I cheat with SF candies... taste just as great but with less guilt

Sara

Thank you for your advice, i hope it works, because i absolutely despise veggies lol . I was also wondering if any of you had some good lunch ideas not invloving vegetables

good lunch ideas....hmmmm. Some things I like are string cheese, bologna and cheese (roll them up and hold them together with a toothpick), subway salads are yummy if your on the go...umm....you can make yourself a big burger with cheese and season it up good, just dont put it on a bun Pork skins are easy to get addicted to but some people react different to them than others. I call them "chips"...makes me feel like im getting a treat I cant really think of anything else for some reason. Someone help me out here!!

How has everyone been doing lately?? It has been somewhat quiet in here over the past week or so. On a good note I FINALLY got over that 135 hump I was stuck on for 2 weeks!! WOO HOO!!!!! Almost to my next goal of 130 and that will make 15 pounds since may 6th! Gosh this diet is almost effortless, anyone else agree???

NO VEGGIES?!?!? NOOOO!!! You can have veggies!!! Who said you can't have veggies?!

Hey is anyone still here? I guess it's getting into the full swing of summer, so people don't want to sit down at the computer. I'd rather be at the beach myself! But if there's any life out there, please tell me!! Thanks!! Bye!
