I'm done, finals over, and I am down a few more lbs. so here's to a new us, all of us. And to a good, LC summer. Keep up the good work all.

I'm so for this. I've been out of university since mid april and just started doing the LC lifestyle... did it for a bit.. then quit when I went on holidays and I'm starting again. I plan (not hope.. dangit.. it's going to happen!) to be at about 170 at least by September.. so 40 lbs in 4 months doesn't seem too harsh... I'm a student teacher and every year kids ask me if I'm pregnant.. I want to teach a class and not be accused of being preggers or told how fat I am by my kids!

well welcome munkeechi!!!!! we are here for you when yuo need some incouragement . amazonann7 i am so jelous of you . I do not even have finals for 3 weeks. I would so love to be out of school now.....

3 weeks from now? wow, I feel sorry for ya. When do you go back to school bluesfan?

i go back to school aug.25. they are giving us a shorter summer so that we get out in early june next year.
all the other school in st.louis get out before i do . my school district is the last to get out(it so stinks) ...

when does everyone get out of school this year ?

Wow, yeah we finished finals on the 7th of May here. We start classes again August 24th. I think I got a pretty decent summer vacation...lots of time for work. Now if I could just find a job...

Hi i'd love to do that too - sounds like a great idea

Hey newteen16... welcome to the thread/challenge. How much do you want to lose by the time school starts for you?

welcome newteen16 i am guessing that you are 16 ...am i right? if i am i am glad there is someone that is a younger teen and not a college kid

So...I'm new but I've done Atkins before and I'd like to join in the challenge if that's okay. I'd like to reach my goal (135) by the time I go back to school in the beginning of September, which I think is doable with running, working, and summer classes.

my goal for back to school is 120-125 lbs. which is about 2 pounds each week - i definatley think i can do it if i stick to low carbing and commit myself to exercising!
