I just started on the diet on Sunday, 1/18/04 and today is Wed 1/21/04.
I was 300 lbs even on Sunday morning. I wieghed myself this morning and
I weighed 294.5 lbs. 5.5 lbs down the toilet :-)
One thing I would recomend if you can afford it is to get your self a
Dr's scale. The tall one with the platform you stand on. I picked one
up for about $225.00 at a local department store. This gives you a more
accurate reading. Those other scales, eveery time I get on it in the
same 30 seconds I weigh something different.
Weigh to go :-)

Its day 21 and I haven't looked at a scale since 'last year'. I'm pretty
happy with my progress.

Having finished my TOM a day or so ago, my weight is FINALLY back to where it was
in the beginning of the month, which is to say: no change

Sorry for the piggy-back - Carol Ann's original post hasn't yet reached my
server.
I've had a real live whoosh! over the past two days and woke up this morning
at an unbelievable 214! I'm sure it will fluctuate up by a pound or two
before it goes back down - that seems to be my pattern - but I'm enjoying it
today. The stats today: 237/214/165? since 12/1/03. My January challenge
goal is 215. yay me!

Thanks! I realize I've basically reached that 10% of my weight milestone,
which is cool. And I think it is finally starting to show.

Not doing well by "challengers" standards at all -- I had dipped down
to 186 for a couple days in a row this week, but that didn't last.
'Fraid this 5 lbs per month is not for me... But I have -not- given up
on LC, just this pace.

Hi Group! I'm glad I found you! Hope this helps me as much as I can
see it is helping all of you. I am 9 days into my low carb lifestyle.
Down 3 pounds. And I know that's great, but I thought I'd lose a
little more at first, and maybe I have, not that you need to know, but
It's my "Heavy time of the month" right now. I should do better once
my husband returns from a ski trip. He's been on a low fat diet since
new years, but want's to switch to what I'm doing. So with both of us
low-carbing it, it should work well. Here's my stats.
209.5/206.5/150<-- Last # is my goal weight, I think that's how I'm
supposed to check-in, please someone correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks!

Not weighing us in for another week, next Saturday morning. Didn't do
a inches lost count this week, but will next week, at the end of the
two week induction. We will probably stay in induction for at least
six more weeks, then go from there. I am staying in induction for a
longer time than they are. Seeing they do not have as much weight to
lose. I began some exercise over the weekend also.
Goal weight for me-135
