City girl, I can understand why you would use your weekly weigh-in as you start weight.

Common practice is to use the weight that you are the day you start the challenge... everyone starts with 5 lb to go. That's the name of the challenge.lol

Totally up to you though.

For me on the same weight today..

Then that's what I'll do! I'll adjust the chart when I update today.

I lost a pound (and adjusted my start and goal per Scotiagirl's suggestion above). The upside of re-starting is those first few lbs. drop like flies--even though I came home from a community meeting at 10pm last night and ate a 3-egg omelet with sundried tomatoes and parmesan with sour cream on top plus some bacon on the side. You know, I love to bake and I miss baking (and eating the results). But even so, I don't get how critics say people "deprive" themselves on this WOE.

CityGirl - there's alot of low carb baking recipies you can look at. Just involves alot of substitution eg. flour for almond meal. Though, of course it will never taste the same as a real cookie for eg...

Fell off the Atkins Induction wagon yesterday with my old friend Cheetohs crunchy cheese snacks and tried to offset it overnight with a 20-hr (updated, forgot to eat B!) intermittent fast. Scale is still heading down today but it's the weekend, when I tend to get sloppy. I never win anything and it would be sweet to nab this challenge, hope that's motivation to be disciplined the next few days, although my weekend wine would disagree, hahaha!
