Now down to 189: a pound higher than start of January, but three down
from a surprise ballooning.

Right now I sit at 188/185/135  3 lbs lost.  Yesterday I was at 183 but
started my TOM today and think that is the reason for the 2 lbs gain.

Hey Carol,

I'm down to 227, yippee.  Puts me at 1 pound down and 4 to go.

Thanks!

Another pound bites the dust --- er, fat!

Going on a 2 week cruise in early Feb., so my secondary goal is 215 by Feb
4. Don't know if I can make it but it's worth a try.

Holding steady at 184 this morning for me (Sarah). I made some AWESOME
Blackberry Cheesecake ice cream last night with the new ice cream
maker I got for Christmas. I tell ya, with stuff like this it makes it
a lot easier to not be tempted to cheat ;)

Chris is at 280 today.

--Pook! ^_^

I am back after a long time away.  I wanted to get into the challenge.  I
started a few days ago.  Here are my stats.

Hi there Carol Ann.  I think ya missed me and my hubby this time.  I had
recently posted our starting weights at 216 and 279 respectively.  Looks
like u changed us in success stories, but not entered us in the challenge.
If it's not too late we'd like to be in.  If it is too late....no worries.

Thanks,

Carol Ann,

I got my TOM this week and my weight has been like a roller coaster... This morning I was 243, so I will take that.

Hi Carol Ann

I am at 307.34
my stats are
360/307.34/240

To answer one of your questions I think I will try to be more social this
year, I am working on my master degree project and that will be finished in
April so hopefully I will be able to get a job and more money to be social.

Though if I am lucky I can go on a ski trip to austria live in Denmark.
Actually I dont live in a country with much hills and snow, but when I
visited my family this christmas snowboarding was much more cool due to the
training and the weigthloss :-). Looking forward to break the 300 barrier.
We use kilograms here so I recently broke a barrier and that was a great
feeling. Collegeas and frinds are now noticing the weigtloss and that is
really motivating.

Take care and thanx
Steffen

In response to Carol Ann's post:

I'm going to keep on keepin' on. I'm doing just fine the way I am.

Hi Carol Ann!

Down 1.5 lbs for the first week at 212.  Also a major milestone for me
as that makes 50LBS!!!  Very happy person today!!!

I knew I should have lied when I posted my Dec. ending weight. I lost
several pounds in the last couple of days and knew they were just teasing
me. So I am up a pound, so far this month. However, I have continued eating
well and drinking water. I think it was lack of exercise, which I am back on
this week. So no sweat, gotta have a stall sometime, attitude is positive,
plan is still in place.

Goal - 165 lbs by spring break when mom comes to visit, 155 by July for 20
year class reunion, and to really make this woe a wol forever.

Different for this year is to always put my needs first. Sorry. I have spent
my life worrying about work, hubby, mom, etc. It is about me. First. That
means if I am going to exercise class, dinner will have to wait-or fix it
yourself. I have put exercise as a priority in my life.

Well, when I gave my starting weight at 220 on 1/1/04, I said then that I
thought it was going to go up before it went down.  My pattern so far has
been: lose a couple, gain one and hold steady for a few days, repeat.

I was right.  After waking up on New Year's day at 220, I spent the entire
last week at 221.   I'm now back to 220, but that means my first check-in
for the January challenge is: no change.  Alas, the month is still young.

regarding your questions, Carol Ann, my weight loss goals are just to keep
trying and keep losing.  I am new to the low-carb lifestyle so I hope to
keep learning and experimenting.  I don't know what my goal weight is - I
haven't weighed in the 160's since high school - so I'll see when I get
there.  The rest of my New Year's goals have to do with my job, not my
weight.  ;-)

I've met the Challenge and am doing pretty well. I'm down 16 pounds so far this
month. My mom passed away yesterday (1/9) and I lost 8 of the 16 pounds in just
that one day.

This week's weigh in - as you know I weigh Sundays - I've lost a total
of 1lb since 1 January.  After my good numbers in December this is not
very good.  But I also measured today, which I hadn't since December and
I've lost some size so I'm not as downcast as might have been.
