i was going to join the 199 weight loss goal thread already posted but i figured after 1000 posts id just get lost. so im looking for a few people that are also trying to get to 199. just to chat and compare notes and such. hope to hear back from you soon

Hi Amanda,

I'm in! Not many people post in that old challenge anymore. Seems that there are just a few of us now!

ok great i didnt know if that one was active or not. i just shyed away when i saw how many posts there were

It can be intimidating to get in on those longer posts. There are about 3-4 people there who use it now..that is about it!!

Hey Ladies...I'll join. I plan on getting down below 199, but for now I just need to get to Onderland...HELP!!! You two are much closer than I am. I weighed in this morning at 235.8 I am doing the meat/egg fast though and the water challenge so hopefully that will help!

Hey Ladies! I would like to join as well. I know what you mean Amanda. I wanted to join the other challenge as well, but the number of posts just seemed so overwhelming. Thanks for starting this one up.

welcome to you all my ultimate goal is 140. but my "first" goal is 199. i havent been 199 since high school. i dont really know how a challenge works and the last one i joined they all just ignored me. i figure we can use this more for support and to weigh in and such. let me know what you think

i hope to make my 199 by june but thats a little iffy so im thinking more like july....

I would like to make it by June too...and I'm starting out higher than you. We just have to drink lots of water and exercise our butts off!!!

Morning Everyone!

I've sworn off the scale until Friday. I just hope that I am back to 206 by then! It seems I lose 10 pounds, then gain 5 back for really no reason. Then it'll take me another 2-3 weeks to lose those 5 and then the cycle repeats. SO it is really frustrating!

It has been a long struggle for me. Not just my weight in general but staying faithful on this WOL. I started over a year ago and lost about 10-15 pounds within the first 6 weeks. Then I fell off the wagon and put most of it back on. I stayed off atkins for about 8 weeks, got back on, lost what I gained and a little more..fell off for another month...got back on...lost my gain...fell off....gained and now i've been back on since Jan 3 with no cheat in site! All I can say is don't cheat. Don't do it. It really isn't worth it. I keep thinking how close I'd be to goal if I hadn't cheated and it really drives me crazy!!

Sorry for being so long but I wanted to tell you that you aren't alone in this struggle...no one really is!

ouzogirl, hopefully this time we will be able to provide each other the support needed so that you don't fall off again...only your weight.

My goal is to be at 199 on July 8th (my birthday).

I would like to join in.... I had just been thinking about joining a new thread and then suddenly one appeared... GREAT!

I am getting close to 199 but I feel like it is going real slow now. However, maybe this time it will stick, last time I got there all of a sudden and by surprise and then blew it because I had a false sense of security.

I had a goal of March 31, but I have to change that to April 10 to be realistic.

Hey Biker!

Nice to see you here. I sent you a PM as well...

We can do this everyone. We just need to stay on track. I really need to be 190 by the first week of JUNE. The way I lose it'll take me that long to lose these 15 pounds!! (boy fat is stubborn isn't it?)

i dont see any reason why we cant all do it its so good to have a support system and its so helpful.

i feel like ive eaten to much today but all ive had is 2 low carb tacos.... about 11 carbs for both.... dont know why i feel so bad

im going walking tonight and going to do my gazelle.

Don't feel bad.

You had GOOD LC food. Just make sure to eat some veggies with dinner tonight.

Don't regret the choices you've made if they were LC. That can be a huge downfall and lead to guilt which can lead to cheats.
