[Claire4dpins]

I have done OK this week and I am pleased to have lost the first 2lb of my 20lb for the New Year Challenge. I have not lost anything in the couple of days since my official weigh-in day - which is Monday. To be honest, though I am happy with the 2lb, I was hoping for 3lb by today because then I would finally get my 25lb clippie!!

Things I have done well this week - stuck to plan - Atkins Induction - without a single cheat!
Things to improve next week - drink more water - I am really letting that slide a bit - I just don't really feel like water in colder weather! Also I need to make sure I do WATP Two Miles ar least five times before next Thursday - I have to make sure I am truely a reformed exercise hater!!
Main Goal for next week - loose at least 1lb so I can get my new clippie!!

Well, how has everyone else done? I am looking forward to hearing about it today or at your next official weigh-in!! What have you done well or not so well this week? Any particular challenges you will face next week - meals out or anything?

Please do check-in I can't wait to see how we are all doing!
One week down, eight to go, until New Year!
Claire

 

[PAdisMOM]

I am down 3 lbs. 12 more to go.

I am a little concerned about this week because we are going to NYC this weekend. But I have planned out what I hope to eat. So it's all up to me sticking to my plan.

Good luck everybody!

 

[kasar]

I can't believe it but I lost 6 pounds - yay! Of course, I'm still doing induction so it should be that much! I must say, I've never been so sick of eggs in my life (but not enought to stop, of course). The next 14 shouldn't be so bad....somebody please tell me that's true!

 

[Claire4dpins]

PAdisMOM - very well done on the 3lb that is a really great start to your 15lb!! Good luck with the trip to NYC - hopefully you should be able to find lots of options so you can stick to your plan as much as possible! Good luck with it!!

kasar - how fantastic it feels to have a big loss like that - good for you!! 6lb really knocks a whole lot off you mini-goal and you have Eight more weeks to loose the other 14lb so you should be able to do it! I know what you mean about the eggs - I am on Atkins and sticking to Induction rules for a while yet (as I have quite a lot of pounds to loose!) - and some mornings I do think 'no, not eggs again!!'

Can't wait to hear how everyone else is doing,
Claire

 

[AprilN]

I'm happy to report another 3 pounds gone this week (earning me a gorgeous GOLD clippie), which brought me to my first 10% goal. Woohoo! That puts me at 3/19 for the challenge.

Keep up the great work, everyone!

 

[Claire4dpins]

Wow AprilN - what a lot of good news in your post - 3lb is such a good start to this challenge - good for you!

Well done on getting to that 10% mark and the gold clippie looks wonderful on you!
Many Congratulations,
Claire

 

[mommyflower]

Hi everyone! I have lost 2.5 pounds since last thursday. That is a bit high for me and I have been sick with a cold this week. So I am wondering if I may gain a bit back when I am feeling better. If not that is 2.5/12 for me.
Everyone is doing so well so far. And just think, this is only the first week. How gorgeous will we all be at those New Years parties!

 

[lmhall2000]

Well, no loss this week so I'm 0/16 but the GREAT NEWS is that I have gotten way back on track with my walking and haven't missed a scheduled walk- I'm walking 4 miles for 3 days straight then off a day- so I'm averaging 24 miles a week!!! And I started TOM this week so I KNOW I'll be one step closer to that 16 pound total loss by my weigh in next Tuesday!!! Can't WAIT!!!!!

COME ON- 2004 is just around the corner!!!

Let's LOSE LOSE LOSE!!!

Tara

 

[AlisonB]

No loss for me either I'm afraid - still 0/15, but TOM for me too, so hopefully I'll have a visit from the whoosh fairy in time for the next check in!

 

[catherine]

Way to go everyone you are all doing brilliantly. Even if you maintained you still posted I lost 1lb this week, so that puts me at 1/20. Hope that you all have a good week. Onward and downward everyone

 

[Claire4dpins]

Thanks for checking in you guys!!

mommyflower - well done with the 2.5lb! Sorry you have been feeling ill - hope your feeling better by now. You seem to be aware of your ups and downs - but fingers crossed you won't gain it back!! It is great to think of being slimmer by those parties isn't it!

lmhall2000 - Good for you with the walking - 24 miles a week is going to keep you really fit!! I guess having lost over 50lbs already you are used to the weeks where you don't loose. I am sure you are correct & by Tuesday you will be seeing the scale move downwards again!!

AlisonB - I am sure TOM & the BF have been with you this week and that the Whoosh Fairy will arrive by next week to start you on your way to the 15lb you want to loose by New Years! Thanks for posting even though you didn't loose this week - we will all have weeks like that!

catherine - Well done on loosing that pound - I remember from your posts in the main check-in thread that you have had some pretty good losses each week for a while - you should really be able to see the changes you are making now!! And hopefully another 20lb by New Year - hope this week goes well for you!

Looking forward to seeing a few others check-in - let us all know how you are doing!
Onwards & Downwards,
Claire

 

[IrishAngel]

Well i lost 1.5 this week, which i'm very happy with. For me slow and steady is the way to go

 

[JenEeyore]

Ok, not a real great start for this challenge, but I stayed the same this week - better than a negative number next to my loss I guess (meaning better than a gain!)

I'll check in again next week and hopefully have something good to report. I picked a lower achievable number - now I hope it is doable. I bet the WF will hit me one week of this and save me! ;-)

Jen

 

[mum4jenn]

I am 1/20 for the challenge. I hope the WOOSH fairy visits me soon!!

 

[disnygoof]

0/20 for me, but that will change next week. I'm starting induction tomorrow! I've had some personal and family "trauma" these past weeks so it's been a little rough but I'm excited to start Atkins again.

See you next week!!

Christiana

 

[Claire4dpins]

I am so glad more people are checking in - thanks guys!!

IrishAngel - 1.5lbs seems pretty good to me - well done you! You are right slow & steady is the best way to go!

JenEeyore - Sorry you didn't have a loss this week - I am sure that you will see some results of your hard work next week! Tem pounds is cetainly doable - and you are right hopefully the WF is near by ready to give things a little push in the right direction.

mum4jenn - 1 more pound down & you have already achieved so much!! Each little step is getting you nearer to where you want to be - right?

disnygoof - Sorry you have been having some problems the past few weeks - I hope things are coming back to normal for you. Youshouls see some results from your change to Atkins - good luck with induction - hope you don't feel to sickly!! I read your other post about your reasons for changing and it sounds like you have it worked out - so I am sure you will be seeing some results by next week! Thanks again for making the clippie!

Still a few more people to check in - come on let us know how you did!
Claire

[mum4jenn]

Starting a new week here and I lost 2 pounds which puts me at 3/20 so far!!

 

[kayeandjim00]
