CHALLENGERS: Post your August Finals Here!

Hi Carol Ann,

It's been 1 month and 5 days since I started Atkins. I'm sorry to say
that I've hardly lost 1lb during the month.

Two weeks into the diet (induction) I was 5-7lbs down, but have seemed
to have stalled and even gained weight since then.

The GOOD news is that I'm still about 1.5 inches down at my waist, and
several people have told me I seemed to have lost weight - it may be
the workouts that are converting fat - muscle.

So I would like it if you would put down 1lb and 1inch down for me.
I'm trying hard to get out of the post-induction stall now.

Thanks for your support.

Regards.

Carol Ann,

I put this in the september thread as well but wanted to make it easy on
you:

August finish/September start: 261 (over 10# lost in August!)

Hi Carol,

How did you do?????????????

Not so good. My weight fluctuated a lot (+- 1.5 lbs) and I ended
at 288 - up one lb instead of down 4 lbs ....

What worked? What didn't?

Well, still too many calories, I suppose.

One week I exercised quite a lot (burned an extra 3500 kcal),
but the one other week I had to work very long hours
and hardly did any exercise. (The remaining two weeks were rather normal
at around 2000 extra exercise kcals burned.)

One week I cut out tea and the one 4 oz glassof dry red wine
that I usually have with my lunch and dinner and only drank
plain water (very boring...) - I discontinued that, since it did not seem
to have helped much either.

As per 1st Sept. I have joined a gym and will start lifting weights
- maybe that will improve my stats.

I will try to shed 4 lbs in Sept, from 288 down to 284.


Take care,
Hamburger

260.5 down 10.5. This after a 5 day trip to the Atlantis in the Bahamas.
We had the meal plan, which included breakfast and dinner buffets. I
enjoyed myself without going crazy (the waffles at breakfast were
outstanding), up 3 during the trip - all gone plus 3 more since. I can't
believe that at 260lbs (I'm 6'1" tall), people are telling me I look good.
Everything relative I guess. Goal for 9/30 is 248. Still have a ways to
go...

I regained some of what I lost for a total loss of only 1.3 pounds for
August. What worked was going to the gym 5 times a week. What didn't work
was eating lemon bars from Corner Bakery. I love them but need to find a low
carb alternative.

Please sign me up for the September challenge to lose 5 pounds.
