Ok, You guys have convinced me to join. Sure, my whole family is on Atkins together, but now that I am headed back to school in a week I will need a bit more encouragement and accountability.
I currently weigh 163 lbs. and my goal weight by June is 150. Ok, so I only have 13 more pounds to lose, but these last few pounds have been REALLY hard because of the holidays. So here is my plan. I want to stick with Atkins (because it has already worked SO well for me!), and I want to do Winsor Pilates 3 - 4 times a week as well as power walking on the treadmill twice a week.
I am really looking forward to seeing how great we all do! Good luck Cysters!

I really want to join, if you all are okay with that.
My current weight is 230 and size 20. I would eventually like to weigh 160, and I would like to lose 40 lbs. during the challenge.
I will do this by:
Winsor Pilates 3x/week
Treadmill 45 mniutes 3-5x/week
Walking my doggy every day for at least 20 minutes
Following the IR diet as closely as I can
Drinking at least 2L of water daily
I look forward to seeing all of our successes along the way!
Regards,
Ladybugg

God does not call the qualified. He qualifies the called.
Originally posted by chrissie_sue Tina--thanks for the welcome. I know how insomnia is--I managed to fall asleep early last night from pure exhaustion--but I was up at 4--lol. So I hopped on the treadmill at 4:30. It's 8:30 here now. Got DH up early and we came into work 2 hours early (we work together). I can't remember the last time I slept a whole night through. Ugh...
Have you tried a calcium and magnesium supplement? That can often help.

I'm gonna stop looking back and starting moving on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I wanna be running
When the sand runs out

I'm at 209, stuck for three months after losing 25 pounds. So I'd like to lose 44 pounds and get down to 165, which is supposedly the high end of the range for my height.

That was the hardest part for me. I switched to Diet Dr. Pepper. I know the caffeine's still bad for us, but I'm taking baby steps!

Vivcrayton: Yes I know the caffeine is still not good but all the sugary pepsi I keep drinking is contributing in a very, very big way to the weight staying on, I so hope I can kick this habit, I have been drinking this stuff for too many years, and I drink alot of it.
I will try to switch to diet when I absolutely have to have something besides just water....
I still need to excercise today but I am motivated to get this done.
How is everyone today? I am gonna order the journal and the t-shirt on Friday to wear when I am excercising, I am sure it will help with motivation also......
