My birthday is October 2nd and it's a biggie!

I'll be TWENTY-FIVE!! I'll have hit the quarter century mark!!!

I'd love to do it with greater self-esteem and health. Soooooo let's get on the Atkins Band Wagon!!

My goal is to weigh nothing more than 180lbs when I step on the scale on my Birthday morning. I've got 10 weeks and 22lbs to go.......but I'm hoping when I weigh in again after my 14 day induction, it won't seem so daunting.

Let's Get it done!!

Name: Rosa
Starting: 202lbs
B-day Goal: 180lbs or less
I will achieve this goal by: Eating atkins legal whole natural foods and getting back to exercise.
My end reward to me: A NEW EXCERCISE DVD/VIDEO

My birthday is September 26th. Count me in.
Name: Colleen
Starting weight: 158
Birthday Goal: 140
I will do this by: Staying cheat free and starting to exercise
My reward to me will be: Smaller clothes!

My weight has been coming off VERY slowly (10 pounds in 8 weeks!) so I need to make some changes to make this goal. Any suggestions?

[La_La]

Have you been drinking enough water? I am doing average 100oz a day

What phase are you? still doing induction? If you you aren't having any franken foods are you?


My first time around I fell flat on my face because I started with the atkins bars and shake and milk and other stuff that just causes you to revert back to your old way of eating...

[Rosa]

I'm hanging in there.

I'm already on day 5 of my Induction. I know the weekend is going to fly by (they always do don't they?)
It will be Monday and ONE WEEK DOWN before I know it.

WOO HOO!! I'm 1 week closer to goal

I am drinking about 70 oz a day. I used to add Crystal Light but found out that was not good for me. I have also dropped the bars. Did not know that they were no good until I found this site. I am still doing induction but admit that I have fallen off the wagon a couple of time. I got right back on but I am sure that is not good.
I think I need to sit down with the book again to refresh my skills and plan some meals a little better. I have not really been "counting" the carbs so that's bad and no exercise yet. I know I need to pick up the pace and things will get better. Thanks for the encouragement!
