Thanks, Carol Ann.

Do not become discouraged. Also, try not to weigh yourself too often!!
Hang in there!!

Be nice to yourself.

Like me. :-( Ooh, hang in there Chakolate. That just stinks! I don't have water swings like that (and that must be what that is), but it must just be completely heinous. Well: look at it this way; in two days, you lost a pound - a real pound. You probably knew the 182 wouldn't "stick" anyhow.

Chrono-Z - 11 Mar 2004 17:09 GMT I missed the original check in due to technical problems so pardon me if i reply improplerly to the wrong thread. As of yesterday i'm down 6 pounds. Nothing quite like buring 800 calories a day on the eliptical trainer then weight lifting.

I will take that number, but I confess, I had a bad day since drinking some beer, eating Mexican food (including chips, burrito, refried beans) and um.......eating a whole pint of Hagaan Daz Butter Pecan ice cream in one sitting. Ouch! I am sure I will be back in a day or two.

curt - 09 Mar 2004 23:17 GMT Yeah, every once in a while I go off the deep end. It usually starts with beer. I am ok now. One day isn't all that bad, but if I did it for a week or so....that would be really bad.

Bear - 09 Mar 2004 13:56 GMT 268. A pound down. This after going up and down over the week. I'm finding that to be my pattern. I drop. Go back up a little. Drop a little. But the bottom line gets lower.
I can't believe you have the dedication to do this for us with all that must be on your mind. Thanks.

But the | bottom line gets lower. I've found also, as have many others, that the weight loss on low carb isn't a downward ramp when you look at it on a chart, but rather a series of steps. Guess it's the bottom line that counts.

I tinker with HTML programming on my website when I get time, but it *is* time consuming, She's a saint to do all this tremendous amount of work out of the kindness of her heart. What a selfless service!

Duane Storey - 09 Mar 2004 17:49 GMT Hi Carol-Ann,
I realize I'm a bit late, but I'd like to sign up for March.. You can copy my stats from Dec or Jan. I started March at 184, and am now 183 (weight loss is slowing down).
Thanks.

I went to two doctor appointments today and was 4 :: pounds heavier than home at the first one, 3 at the second. Grr. I personally use the same scale that I've always used and do not accept the Doctor's numbers. The old antiquated scales they have just can't be accurate....IMHO.
:: I have quit smoking. I'm constipated and nauseated. Hey, you asked! Congrats on the not smoking!!! Hey, constipation and nauseau???? Whoyatalkinto???? LOL!! Actually I suffered NO nauseau and have constant diarrhea (I assume from the daily bottle of Tums or Maalox). I'm blessed to be considered one of the lucky pregnant women who suffered from very few negative side effects. The worst I admit are the hands falling asleep AND weight gain.

Gretchen - 12 Mar 2004 11:12 GMT Hi, CarolAnn. I'm hanging at 176, which is OK, I guess since we've had not so good news in the medical department for my daughter and I. I'm not eating in response to the stress, so I guess that's it's own accomplishment. I just don't have the mental or physical energy to do the cooking I need to be doing.

Happy that I am in the 230's now. Just weighing myself once a week. Was weighing myself every other day or so. Its too frustrating to do that. With hardly no loss. I hope to get into the 220's next month. I may just look pretty good by summer time. Thanks for doing this monthly challange, its very helpful!
Love them names for the baby you picked out too, very nice!
Was wondering what low carb plan did you lose, and how much did you lose etc..?
