The 'Alex WISH Challenge'

[WebmasterAlex]

Kelsie...
Usually for me by the third day I am in the groove and it get's a LOT easier.. and a few other people here have reported the same thing. It may be different for you. If you are really miserable then maybe it's not the right thing for you to do.
If you really can't take it anymore though do one thing before you go off.... cheat on your weight in day and hop on a scale.. you might be suprised. Then again you might not but what do you have to lose at that point!!

I have mentioned it in a few other posts but I don't see why it has to run "this" week! If anyone wants to try it, go for it..we will still be here!

[WebmasterAlex]

Sorry Katholyn, I didn't see your post till now. I didn't think Alex was doing the challenge, but he said he had eaten this way, so I figured if he can do, so can we. (Well, not me, but you guys)

{{{{{{{Hugs Katholyn}}}}}}}

I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes a good ol' cry can be good for us. Clears out some of those wacky hormones.

Thanks for getting me through another carb free day...you guys are awesome.

Its been really hard since my 6yr old DD (Kennedy) has been home for 2 days with strep throat. Thank the heavens above for this board...otherwise I can tell you I would be eating...and eating all the "wrong" things!!

Looking forward to tomorrow!!!

My DD came down with strep today I’ve been working all night to keep her fever down. She is doing better right now, I have to tell you that a warm water and salt gargle is better than any medicine on the market.

I hope your DD starts feeling better soon!

How is everyone doing? It's over half way for the group that started tuesday!!!

 

[John In Illinois]

Going Great here Alex!!

Still sticking to it Religiously, and although I admit that I sneaked onto the scale early, I am withholding the results til my official weigh day tomorrow!!

 

[WebmasterAlex]

You sound happy, I'm hoping that's a good sign!!!

Very Happy!!

 

[Kelsie]

I'm doing OK but, I weighed this morning and am still only down 2 lbs. I am happy with the 2 but should I be losing more? Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

 

[WebmasterAlex]

no way Kels!!! you started on tuesday so you lost 2 pounds in 4 days. Remember you were already doing atkins pretty seriously so you probably didn't get that initial water weight bump... you are losing a 1/2 pound a day or 15 pounds a month!!! That is at the upper limit of safe and healthy weight loss, you are doing GREAT!!

 

[Kelsie]

But Alex, I wanted to lose 40 pounds this week!!

I'm happy with the loss!! If I can lose 3-4 pounds during this challenge, I will be very happy. Weekends are difficult, but I'm going to make it!!

 

[John In Illinois]

I think your progress is nothing short of AMAZING Kelsie!!



You have come so far in such a short time!

Keep it up!

 

[Kelsie]

OK John, spill it!! What have you lost??

Patience is most certainly NOT your strong point Kels!!!

OK...........

Ring me up for the 45 pound clippie!!!!

3 more pounds this week so far!!!

 

[Kelsie]

WOW John! That is amazing!! You will have that 50 before you know it! (I will have to design 55 pound and up soon!)

I just had a great surprise! One of the goals I had was to get back into a Mickey Skort I wore last year on the Cruise. I tried to wear it on my Disneyland trip last month and there was no way I could even zip it up Well, I put it on this morning and it zipped with room to spare!! A small goal reached but it will be enough to keep me going!!

 

[John In Illinois]

That is FANTASTIC Kelsie!!!

I am so happy for you!!

I know what the effects are of seeing the progress in concrete terms!

You make me smile just picturing the grin on your face.

You made my day as well!
