I didn't follow instructions so I'll just copy from where I posted.

I'm in for both. My weigh in is 198.5 - I keep floundering and ending up back there.

My goal weight for January is...um...okay...how about...195 (yikes - I said that out loud sorta).

Gotcha info recorded, Blue... I'll start a Jan challenge list tomorrow in this thread.

Hi everyone, nice to be back. My little darlings opened a few viruses on the computer, so it was in the shop. I am definitely in, I need the motivation and encouragement.

Starting weight 216
Goal weight 211

Hi there Tril!!!
I'm starting induction (again!), can I play? :wink:

CW:145,5 (66kg)
GW: 135 (61kg)

Do you think is too much to lose in one month? (I secretly wish to lose more than 10 pounds, but I'm aiming low to avoid any disappointment).

Be strong!!!

Ok.. I didn't follow directions either, so here it is again from my other post....

Toni
140# on January 1.
Goal: -10 (that might be a bit ambitious for one month but I'll try it!)

Happy New Year to all!! http://www.lowcarbsite.com/images/sm...on_biggrin.gif

I would like in also...unfortunately i fell off the wagon big time over the holidays and am starting with a starting weight of 249. My goal for the month is to be down to 239 (at least)

Okay... I think I have everyone added that's asked to be added. http://www.lowcarbsite.com/images/sm...icon_smile.gif

SWB... you asked if I thought your goal was too much for one month. Depending on your age, activitiy level, height, recent dieting... it might or might not be. What's your goal weight? 10.5# a month is a lot for most people. Nearly impossible if you're close to goal already. You can leave you goal the way it is, or change it at any time (no rules here about that stuff!). If NOT reaching a goal might derail you, then change it. If having a lofty goal motivates, keep it. You'll just need to decide for yourself what will work best for YOU.

Hi all... I found this while perusing on the internet... I am definitely in need of joining a group like this!

I lost 50 lbs on Atkins about 5 years ago... but I fell of the bandwagon and put it all back on plus more. http://www.lowcarbsite.com/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif So here I am, trying to do the right thing again. I'm having a hard time sticking to diet and exercise because I'm in a new living situation that isn't at all conducive to healthy habits. But I'm willing to give it my best shot.

This is a start.

My weight was at it's highest ever this morning. http://www.lowcarbsite.com/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif

Current weight: 225.4
Goal for 1/31: 215.0

Good luck to us all!

Droly... welcome to our forums and back to Atkins! I've added you to our Jan challenge! Good luck, I know you can do this!

Tril

Tril:

Please add me as well:

Starting: 239
Goal: 230 by the 31st

Name: Tony
Start: 158 lbs.
Goal by Feb. 1st: 150 lbs.

I think that's doable. Tril, you are an inspriation. I spent hours reading your progress and your perseverance when the scale didn't move for days!!!

I hope your mojo rubs off on me!

Tony

Ok, I think I have everyone...

Rules are simple... follow whatever phase of Atkins that you choose, check in here and report in your progress as you see fit. It would probably be helpful if we all did this once a week or so (not helpful to ME, helpful to YOU). Wednesdays seem to be good (halfway between weekends). When you report a weight I'll add it to your stats. It will look like this:

start weight/current weight/goal weight

Final weigh-in is January 31st. Please try to weigh in (and report it) between Jan 30th and Feb 1st.

Good luck everyone!!!

Tril

Tony, thank you!

If I am not too late to join, I would love to take part in this challenge.

I just began atkins today. Start weight is 228, goal for this month is 220.

Thank you!!
Stacey

I plan to join on January 7th. I'll post my start/goal weight then. Managed better damage control than I thought over the holidays, just not sure my scale is actually working. After a couple days of checking I may believe it. http://www.lowcarbsite.com/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif
