Well - it's October 1st! Time for a new challenge. I've successfully done Atkins for four weeks, so I'm pretty proud of that. I'm down 7.4 pounds so I'm hoping to double up on that (at least) before Thanksgiving. I'm going to try to get to 205 by 10/31 - what's your goal?

That's awesome!
I should look back on what I committed to the September challenge, but I went to the gym more in September and lost about 11 pounds, so I'm fairly happy with September's progress. I did go crazy 3-4 days out of the month which stalled my progress (over carbs AND calories) but I got back on the wagon right away and still lost weight overall.
My goals for October are to lose 12 pounds which will put me about where I was at during fall of last year which was before I completely undid all my weight loss progress. I also want to go to the gym twice a week, cardio and/or strength.
I also hope to not go off low carb or over calories more than 1 day this month. I have no events coming up and have to get in a groove before the holidays so I'm more committed to low carb and won't let the holidays derail me.0 -

I'm jumping into the challenge 5 days late, but I have been doing Atkins phase 1 for about 2 weeks. During that time I have dropped 7 pounds. My goal for October is to lose at least 8 pounds. My weight loss has been stalled for the last week, so I am going to up my exercise and my vegetables. I want to exercise at least 3 days a week. I would also like to get in some strength training per week.0

Hope it's not too late to join in here! I binged over the weekend (which are my hardest times to stay on track) and so now I'm back to day one of following Atkins and my short term goal is to lose 10 pounds in October.0

I gotta ask, Satin Pumpkin, What are you doing and/or eating that you're losing nearly 5 pounds in 8 days?0
-
I am still following DANDR Extended Induction Phase so my food is from the acceptable induction food list. In addition i really only have one large main meal which is Dinner. Breakfast is typically one or two cups of coffee and lunch is a glass of Ecodrink multivitamin drink which takes care of cramps.0

I've been eating nothing but beef, chicken (0 carbs) with a little cheese for fat, low carb veggies (frozen) and drinking tons of water. Lost 5lbs since Saturday. Just tried the Atkins bars last night. They're very filling and only 3 net carbs.0

So you said 1-2 cups coffe in the am, eco drink for lunch and induction-based meal in the evening? Is this daily? I'd like to try this. Also where can I find the eco drink?0 -
Pretty much my intake during weekdays but i also have a coffee in the evening.
We get the Ecodrink Packets at Sams Club but you can also get them on amazon. Life saver for cramps.
