I'll give it a go. I want to lose at least 10 lbs before our cruise in August. I'm cutting down and using Slim Fast between meals and for lunch. I never eat breakfast besides coffee and OJ. DH lost 61 lbs on Atkins but there is no way I could eat that much eggs and cheese and I'm a vegetarian so I won't eat the meat.

How have I missed this thread until now???

I'm in. I've been doing Atkins since the 16th and have lost 8 lbs...so far.
John, you're a stronger person than I am...I don't think I could manage working there every day! Keep up the good work!

Kelsie, thanks for starting this thread, count me in. I do need to lose weight, but have been ordered by my doctor to do a particular diet for many health reasons (including Rheumatoid Arthritis). My doc is an MD who nearly died from chemical exposure and I've had the same problem. She recommends a diet that is closest to the Neanderthin diet. Low carb, plenty of quality protein, organic fruits and veggies, some nuts, only certain kinds of fat. I did it for a while last year, lost 15 pounds and felt fantastic, now I've got to do it again, for good I hope! Well, there will be breaks when we go to the World! Starting a treadmill program and hoping to lose 30 pounds, and feel good.

I accept your challenge!

I started Weight Watchers last Tuesday, so I won't know how I'm doing until tonight. I THINK I lost some weight, but we shall see.

I've struggled with my weight since I was 12, and it's finally catching up to me -- high blood pressure, aching knees. I need to lose at least 100 pounds (I think we should start the official "Canadian Goose Club" -- honk, honk!)

My latest advice is take up a hobby if you eat in front of the TV. I've been doing lots of counted cross stitch lately. It relaxes me after a stressful day, and I can't eat while I'm doing it because I have to keep my hands clean.

Let you know how I'm doing tomorrow ...

I have been doing low carb (Atkins/Suzanne Somers) for about 13 months now. I am down 40 pounds and would love to lose another 40.

 

[JRoglitz]

I would like to join too. I have been going to the local TOPS meetings and have lost about 20 pounds so far. I would like to lose more before our May 2004 trip. Thank for getting this together. Any other TOPS members out there?

 

[zurgswife]

Slightly over a week and down 5 pounds as of today.....I'm hoping for a couple of pounds this week also...we shall see....

I've lost 40 pounds, but need to lose another 40. Would be great if most of it were gone for our August 30th cruise.

I like a diet called Six Week Body Makeover. I'll do that again. I heard of it through an infomercial - but it is actually a great plan. Very healthy - fruit, vegetables - lots of protein - some carbs - shuns prepared foods so limits chemical additives.

Okay. I've been getting enough "little messages" that I am now committed to the challenge.

While I find it very hard to be on a certain prescribed "diet", can't do Atkins - tried it and got very sick, I am on portion control, limiting carbs and journaling what I eat.

I work at a health club and can work out for free. I will get my measurements done this week. I like to track inches and percentage of body fat but I will weigh in a few weeks. My goal is to lose 20 lbs.

Alright - I'm ready to do it.

Sending you a private message Kimber. You can also ask on the technical board, they are very helpful there.

I need this challenge! I just returned from the doctor and to my embarrassment had to get on the scales. I want to lose before our June 21 cruise! I plan to just reduce my meals, eat more sensible using the Weight Watcher's plan and use my treadmill a minimum of 4 days a week.

 

[pkitty]

Oh my gawd this thread is great!!!!
My hubby is always on a diet and WDW is a great motivation for him!!!! He's a copper and is always talking about how great it was when he first joined 14years ago and was in awesome shape!!WDW seems to be the magic bullet for getting him going and so far he's gone from 245 - 3 weeks ago to 225!!! Steady progress...we leave for WDW in 25 days so the clocks ticking!!! On our trip 3 years ago he went fron 230 to 195 and felt great!!! He's cut out all the carbs, walks to work (4 kms roundtrip) and yes he to struggles with the sweets!!!!I checked out the local health food store and they told me that the sweets craving is caused by low dopamine levels in the brain...this apparently is very easily corrected by herbal supplements...I'am going back to find out more!!! I'll keep you all posted...or hopefully he will...Good luck and good health to you all!!!

Okey, dokey. I'm joining you if there's room in The Mitten. I have just 11.25 months left before I join the half century club. I'd like to be healthier, thinner, and have more energy than I have now. So.....maybe this will help! Hope so!

 

[epicureangirl]

Hello, everyone!

Count me in! I started the Atkins yesterday, and have done it before with great success. Unfortunately, it IS a way of life -- not a quick-fix and I have to remember that this time. I've started walking several times a week with a girlfriend and will start some toning exercises with bands so that after the extra baggage is off I might see some muscle!

Yesterday was very hard -- I had a horrendous headache while withdrawing from the sugar, caffiene and carb-laden foods. I have to remember what I will feel a week from now -- more energy, less hungry and happy that I've lost enough pounds to earn my first piece of clipart!

And for PKITTY: Try Chromium Picolinate for the sweet cravings.

mow for this to work you need to change the {} to []

you insert it by going to User CP above...then edit profile, and then scroll about half way down to where it says signature, and insert it where you want it.

to center it you write {center} before the img tag above and {/center} after the /IMG above you also have to change the {} to <>

does that make sense...if not pm and I will walk you through it
