Heather's Birthday Challenge

No way in hell can I lose 15 pounds by Heather's Birthday. Hell, I was just hoping to get back to 240 by my birthday (July 13th). Seeing as how I'm sabotaged by water retention or something, I'll be lucky to do that. No way could I lose 15 by then. Especially when I'm off the low-carb bandwagon for a while. We're so broke, if I want to eat at all, some will have to be carbs... Anyway, I suppose I will attempt to go along, but my biggest withdrawals making me completely psychotic have been when I cut out sugars completely (and/or drop my carbs way too low)...so if I hit psycho/rage mode, I'll bounce out.... Just saying.
Do the best you can, honey! NO one can ask for more!0 -
User name and starting weight keyed (though it has Saturday's date, rather than Friday's...LOL). Wishing everyone else luck, especially this weekend!0

I am so darn excited for this challenge. Hopefully it will PUSH me in the right direction!!
Good luck everyone!!

Haha. I will check the date on the New spreadsheet. Maybe a wee bit superstitious...Happy Friday the 13th y'all!0

I can't put my number in! I know it has been a long time since I used a spreadsheet, but I think I know what I am doing! lol Maybe not! Maybe I am over the weight limit! That must be it! HEEELLLLLP!0

Ty Heather!0 -

I'm in for the weight challenge. As for no sugar... its almost that TOM and I'm craving sweets like mad. I'd rather indulge within my calories now than avoid them over the weekend just to binge come Monday.0

Awesome! Just add your name to the spreadsheet if you haven't already! Waiting on Karen! Anyone else who wants to join is more than welcome too. I will keep posting the link. I don't care if we are 3 weeks in, you can jump on board any week IMO. No one is excluded.

About to add my weight, argh! I tried to do it earlier, but the spreadsheet didn't work on my phone.
How's everyone doing today? I am shocked by how many of us have sugar issues. My sister has been diabetic for the past seven years and even though she has neuropathy in her legs and her doctor has told her repeatedly that she MUST give up sugar, she still can't. It's worse than a drug, really!

Yeah. My husband too. But it's more carbs even then sugars. Of course sugars have carbs. Etc. His blood sugars are usually in the 300s. Its totally uncontrolled. I have only seen it drop below 200 twice and even then it was like 197 or something and on a boatload of insulin. Its sad. The docs warn him. He just doesn't get it. He has so many health issues. If he would do strict Atkins, I think we might be able to control his diabetes. Maybe.0

Speaking of carbs...I just look at my macros so far for the day because I didn't really have a clue. We had monthly birthday lunch at an Italian resteraunt and without going into detail like I did on Facebook, it was bad. The smells. The sites, omg. It was a beautiful place. Anyways, I was good and stuck with Mista which is just salad with Italian vinaigrette and grilled chicken. So long story short...I am at 14% carbs for the day! Day one off to a good start. Egg beaters for dinner and I shall keep it go going. Sodium oh well.0

Awesome! I'm doing pretty well too. Actually ate some veggies tonight. My body went into shock.0 -
Got to love carbs. I have my macros set with carbs making up 50%. I know it's not what you two need for your diet to work but it works for me. I'm thankful I am not diabetic. That's part of the reason of making the change, diabetes and heart disease. I feel like if i was to be given a diagnosis of either that it would have been an official seal of failure on myself. Time to turn back the clock before the seal can be applied.0

Hubby just headed out the door without me to get himself a treat. I didn't ask for details; he knows I'm on the no sugar challenge, so he volunteered to pick me up some fresh cherries. Yum.0

Pat I am 45% for carbs right now, (30% fat and 25% protein) but I still do not have the right balance between carbs and protein. I often go over a little for carbs and am under a little for protein. When I have some spare cash I need to stock up on chicken breast and some protein powder for a shake a day type thing I think. But right now this is working anyway so it might just be something I will work towards when I am closer to the 200s.0
