    I'm ready to start tomorrow!!

    I've given up chocolate about 3 weeks ago with my detox and then atkins, which I'm on for the rest of the week.
    BUT I've been eating diabetic chocolate as this is super low carbs!!
    A little treat/cheat I've been rather indulging in!!
    So Wednesday to Wednesday... No Diabetic chocolate either!!!

    That will be tough, was my treat :sad:

    As I'm already pretty much at my goal weight I'm just going to be joining you for the weekly challenges as a way to keeping motivated while I'm maintaining my weight loss and keep me moving forward with more exercise.
    Hope this is alright with everyone!! xxxx

    GOOD LUCK TO ALL :flowerforyou:

    I almost had a stroke when I realized the no chocolate thing should probably include my white chocolate dream peanut butter. Technically, I don't know if it really counts since white chocolate doesn't contain cocoa like regular chocolate. But I might as well REALLY challenge myself ... hrumph.

    Hey Bikinimission, I still don't plan on weighing myself more than once a month - hope that doesn't mess up your spreadsheet. You know me and my standoff with that scale though :wink:

    I didn't mention on my initial profile, I'm starting Power 90 on October 1st.

    Let's ROCK!
