Talking Would live to join

Hi all, I would love to join you. I started induction on Friday and have been going strong.

I would like to:

1# no more than 20 carbs a day
2# no less that 8 glasses of water a day
3# no sugar, bread, pasta
4# no high carb fruits & veggies

that's all I can think of now, may add to later.

Good luck to you all!!!!!!!!!

Mims

I'm signing up! I ate high carb on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. I plan on eating Chinese and pizza today for New Year's. I have been really bad with the LC treats and have noticed a HUGE stall. I would say at least 10 of my carbs each day have gone to treats the past few weeks. So I'm willing to join!! I really want to fit back into my cute summer clothes!

Hi all!

Count me in, please! I am restarting Atkins today....went off due to sickness and then the holidays, but luckily haven't gained anything....I actually lost 3 lbs, but that was because I had bronchitis.

My little goals:
30 mins of exercise a day
no more than 25 g of carbs a day
sf candy no more than 1 day a week...1 serving
100 oz of water daily

Hi all. I am almost through with my first day back on induction. I am even giving up coffee for the 2 weeks. That is more than I did last time. I haven't cheated, but I have been eating too much AS and Atkins foods (my daughters bought me an Atkins goody baskets for Christmas). I am doing very strict kiss induction and hope it jump starts my weightloss. I am up today4.5 pounds. Jan 1 - 199

RAH RAH RAH CIS BOOM BAH

WE CAN ALL DO THIS TOGETHER!!!

I cheated last night, so I guess after all I am starting anew on 1/1/04. I went to a last minute party and didn't have time to think about taking my own stuff. There was a cheese tray, and some summer sausage (yuck-hate that stuff) and some Chex mix that I picked out the nuts, that snowballed from there and I ate some cookies, then some chips, then 2 peices of choclate. My brain, mouth and hands were not on the same wavelength last night. So here goes, I changed my dates and went back to day 1 after 4 cheat free days. I downed 5 liters of water today trying to get rid of the bloat and swelling in my hands. We'll see where I am tomorrow, as I didn't like what I saw this morning.

So here we are off and running officially on the "challenge!!!"

Day 2 back on induction. I didn't lose any of my sudden gain from yesterday. I'm going to drink extra water today to try to get rid of the water weight. I know it is water because my rings are so tight and they had gotten really loose.

I am changing my Guidelines. My stomach is growling right now and I have nothing here at work to eat so I am going to have to have a cup of coffee. I know that if I just have one I will be fine and it doesn't stall my weight loss I just thought it would be a good thing to stop having with all the caffiene that's in it. Maybe I'm so addicted I can't even see that I am and I am making up excuses just to have it. I don't know but I do know I wont be able to make 100 days without my coffee.

Start Weight: 129

#1. Drink my water (between 80-120 oz.)
#2. No flour, sugar, or other such items.
#3. Excersize (As soon as I get my new Winsor Pilates DVDs, until then continue shovling the snow every morning.)

I would like to join the group. I had gone since early November w/o a cheat and then had ribs with BBQ sauce on New Year's Eve to break that streak. Oh, well. Just get back at it again today. Good Luck to everyone!
