Thread: Happy New Year Challenge

Ok I am clearly back in Ketosis...I can tell by the smell of my pee (sorry to be gross) . It has been a long time since I thought I was in Ketosis. I am hoping to see the scale move soon. It seems to just be stuck. Please send the whoosh fairy my way!

Noel, I think you may have Mada and I transposed on the list. Thanks, though! I only WISH I was at 217!! More like 227! (Help! I'm going the wrong direction!)

Another great day to wake up to.... down to 202 this morning and feeling great about it! Only 3 lbs and I'll be back under 200! YAY!

OOPS! I'll get that fixed for you Maxibee.

199 is right around the corner Megan!

AmyG, stinky p makes for a happy me. :silly:

Well the excess fluid is finally coming off - slowly but surely. I weighed in this am at 223. Up from 221.5 but much better than it was. I don't know if 218 is reasonable for Jan 1 but I will continue to keep that as my goal.

Okie dokie...I'm ready to recommit now, I believe. It's been a while since I've been on here, and man, do I notice a difference in my commitment level when I'm not a regular visitor. I'd like to join this challenge. I'd like to be down 7 by new years. I'm at 165, so that's be 158.

On the other hand, I went to a business christmas party a couple of days ago where most of the people there hadn't seen me since last christmas, and by was my ego stroked a lot! It's amazing what 45 lbs off will do to you in the eyes of other people!

Hey Brandy Good to hear from 'ya!

Just checking in - I'm down to 186, so I've only got one more pound for this challenge. I was very modest with my goal this time, so hopefully, I'll actually make a challenge goal.

I am slowly but surely recovering from last weekend's Christmas parties (2) carbfest! I was at (GASP!!) 229 Monday. This morning I was at 226. I WAS down to 221 last month, so I set my challenge goal at 210. But, I've spent most of the month trying to re-lose some pounds! Time's a-waisting! At this point, I'd just like to be in the "teens" by New Years......

Happy to report 201 this morning.... only two pounds to 199(YAY the 100's again!) and only 26 lbs to my final goal of 175. With the stuff the doctor gave me and everything I'm doing in workouts and LCing.... I"m hoping to hit my goal by the time I leave....

Needed some good news this morning so I weighed early.

Down three pounds this week already to hit 347. Yea, for a new decade.

Two more pounds to my new goal. If I reach it then I will look at lowering it again. Tough weeks ahead though so it sounds easier than it is.

Noel, that whoosh fairy must really be making the rounds!

I know I am still "re-losing" some of the same pounds, but seeing them go away is really boosting my resolve to see even lower numbers! I was at 224 this morning.....that's 5 pounds gone this week. I was freaking out Monday, when the scale showed me back at 229. That's way to close to those dreaded 230's that I struggled so to get out of. I will be thrilled if I just get to see the "teens" by the New Year!

Down .5 lbs since last week-actually had been down 1.5 but now playing with that one pound last few days. Not much time left-hoping to meet my goal.

I'm on my way....BACK down to 223 this morning. I won't make my goal, but at least I'm losing again instead of GAINING!

I think the scale may have finally moved. I am not claiming anything but after over 31/2 months bopping up and down between 188 and 192 I think I saw a smaller number. I really think I need a digital scale. It would be well worth it.


I probably will not make my goal but I feel great. I have some new duds and am looking pretty good too....My DH is driving me NUTS! It is funny that I have lost nothing -not even inches as far as I can tell- in that amount of time but many folks think that I have lost tons since school has started. Funny things happen to your appearance when you wear clothes that actually fit!

Still afraid to shop for real....Still have not tried new pant. I bought some stuff off ebay. But no bottoms. I know the 16s do not fit but am so scared to go into a store....lots and lots of hand me downs....I love skirts recently. they are much more generous in the hips.
