Signed & Committed

I'll Succeed

I was 185 when we started.... I'm at 179 so I'm down 6 pounds! Sarge can up date me when you get a chance!

I'm disgusted....I gained 7 pounds:faint:

Ok, I am checking in again. I have slacked off terribly!! This last weekend was my birthday and I cheated terribly!! I gain 5 pounds and I am disgusted!

So here I am, back in the swing of things, back on atkins. Reporting for duty and bound and determined to make this work! I have my tae bo videos and will be doing one hour of tae bo every day. I will drink my gallon of water everyday. I will stay at 20g of carbs each day. I will lose the weight before surgery!!

I will do this. I will. And I will no longer make excuses.

Amy

I will do this. I will. And I will no longer make excuses.

This is what its all about folks. Plain & Simple, I am talking about the quote above.

Amy - You can do this, just like you said. Your on the right track & you just need to say than when you waiver your only "hurting" yourself. Eventually it will all fall into place.

Tommy O - Way to Go! So gald your no longer MIA & wow you are doing well. Stay focused & Strong.

Weightshaker- Nice weight loss. But popcorn? Come- on now- say to yourself right now that you swear no matter what that you will reserve only one night a week for popcorn. Or better yet that you will not have it at all. YOU CAN DO THAT - I KNOW YOU CAN!

BigEthel - I am right there for you girl. I too had a platuea of 5 1/2 mnths & I am proud to say that this exercise broke it, albeit only 4 pounds. But it Broke it & yours will be broken too! As to the exercise you must ask yourself this & be really really honest with the response:"Are you exercising as hard as you can. Are you really pushing it & doing more every 3 days that past?" You'll be fine - Stay focused!

Jamin & Losin- Hot Damn girl! Great Job!! Now I am going to catch up to you this next Sunday - so look out & pump it up!!!

Teresa :xena_banana: - So, O.K. you had a really tough week. I 've been there as well. But here is the bright side! Are you ready! Listen up girl, right now this very moment you are back on track & i know you are. So make sure you re-read anything that will be helpful. Are you marking a calander everyday. I swear this has helped me to see it staring me in the face. Most of all please remember, 'cause I myself forgot & you're the one that said it. Our bodies may gain from muscel & change on their own time but if we keep going everything will fall into place as long as we don't stop!

As for me... well I didn't workout this Sunday But did on Monday. Than I missed Tuesday :Banane03: - So today I worked out already & will be working out again this evening while watching LOST. I need to really work on the water situation. My food intake has been good. Although I am only down 4 pounds at the doctors office they said my body fat is really starting to look better. I am happy with that. I also must tell you all - that last night when I went to bed & hadn't exercised, I not only had a horrible headache-which I never get- But felt really sad with myself & couldn't wait to do better today. That never would have happened before Bootcamp & all of you! Thank you for helping me stay focused & motivated!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Whooooahhhhhh!

I stayed below 20g of carbs all day today! I didn't work out because I have a wicked headache from the carb withdrawl, but I drank my gallon of water. When the carb withdrawl is gone I will get back into doing my workouts. It is not a cop-out. Its a true mild migraine that just isn't leaving. But I am walking the dog ever 30 minutes if that counts for anything. LOL

I will be weighing in on Saturday, and doing my measurements. I will be thinner every day after today.

Amy

Amy-Great job on the low to almost non-countable carbs!

As to the headache ---Wow me too w/the wicked headache. All day Tuesday & woke up with the same one Wednesday. Thank goodness its gone today. I did some stretches yesterday(the headache was only on one side by wedns.) Than I did 3 miles on the treadmill in the morning & 3.15 miles that evening!!!! Thats the most ever for me.

Sure as the sunrises- I gained a pound this morning when I got on the scale! It just is such a crushing blow. I vow not to weigh myself till Sunday morning now & will continue to be good & drink drink drink- water that is.

i'm so excited this was the support i needed. I went through th Christmas holidays pre banded, and was banded by new years. Awaiting my first fill 2/16. I could eat more, but hold myself back. I'm walking with a friend. i'm doing it!:clap2:

Welcome Newgirl you're just in time to start our second half of LBT Bootcamp!!! Congrats on your banding! We weigh in aroundish Sunday - Saturday & Monday is fine also I just need to keep it kinda grouped together so I don't miss anyones weight. Make sure you measure yourself & read the first page commitment if you haven't already. Good luck! Ps if you know your BodyFat% I can mark that for you also.

Hey I am in Tucson and the hotel hasn't got a scale I can use. I won't be able to check in till I go home on the 10th.

Hello. Just a quick check in. I am down 1.5 pounds. I'm at 242. The water is still a huge problem. :bananajump:

Water is still a problem for me also. Today after speaking to my best band buddy I have decided to UP my calories. I am not losing & have really been faithful with exercising & eating. I hope it does the trick not to mention "of course" getting in more water:0)

Hi everyone,

I am doing great this week, don't weigh until tomorrow but had to share my great news. I went to Curves on Fri. and weighed and measured and I have lost 51 lbs and 35 inches YAHOO!! :clap2: , is all I can say!!! I am so happy, and it makes me even want to work harder. Exercise and drinking my Water, and cutting down on my popcorn has really helped kickstart my weight loss again. I'll check in again tomorrow and let you know how much weight I lost this week.

Keep up the good work everyone,

Shelley (Weightshaker)
