I am here and ready! I only lost .5 lb in May. Will post starting weight and goals tomorrow!

I'm in my goal is to loose 5lbs before 25th of June. We have a vacation coming up in which we have about 4miles of walking!

I need to do something! I keep slipping up every couple of weeks and gaining it back. Starting to get real discouraged.

I need to get serious myself. I know Atkins/low carb works best for me and it reduces cravings. I want to get this weight off too!

What exactly is the challenge?

As requested, here is a new challenge for June!! Everyone is welcome to join!! Still trying to get closer to my goal of 160!! This plateau has been a great lesson on weight maintenance...I still have to eat less and move more!! Best wishes for an on-plan day!'

I'm on day 8 of induction, my first time doing Atkins. I've lost 10 lbs, which I am really happy about, especially as i haven't struggled much yet or been hungry.
Today was my first day without a loss though, and I'm bummed. Realistically, I knew I couldn't expect to keep losing a lb a day---but I guess I was hoping to!
I'm at 225, and want to get to 219 by the end of June. Well, I really want to wake up and be at 170 tomorrow, but I'll settle for just sticking with induction for the month and getting to a weight I haven't seen since 2010.

Hey everyone! I hope to check in often. I'm going to need support. Please friend me (and let me know where you found me) if you want an extra one... I try to write on my wall often.

I have done low carb under 50 net, in the past and it works for me. But the last 6 months or so I have been "cheating" and not really always doing low carb. You might know, that if you stop low carb, that weight comes on fast. At least it does for me!

I'm getting married in August so I'm trying to really concentrate hard on my eating and exercising. It finally hit me yesterday that I have 6 weeks until alterations! (11 weeks to the wedding). My goal is no double chin in my pictures!
Last weekend I just ate so many carbs. So my starting weight this AM (I forgot to weigh yesterday) is:
200.0
I would be estatic to lose 7 lbs in induction. I haven't ever done induction so I need accountablity!

hi everyone! I think I need to do this I'm starting again (well every morning I start again) so my goal this month is to do induction fully for the whole month. I've gained all my loss back (20 lbs) in about 6 weeks...can you imagine how much I've eaten?!? and we've just booked a 5 day holiday to Paris 6th July, so I really can't go away looking and feeling like this...plus with all the temptations Paris has to offer if I don't get some weight off before I go, I might not be able to get back in my front door when I get back :sad:
Put it this way, I've found out the hard way that I'm definitely carb sensitive

Almost finished my 2 weeks of induction. I was 175 starting and am now 166. My goal weight is 150 and then go from there. I would love to lose 10 pounds in June.

I know the feeling! I'm down 4lbs. Since Monday and i have a birthday party on Saturday so guaranteed I'll be back up by Monday. Every weekend I seem to get thrown off.

Let's try to break the trend this weekend! Good luck to you.

I want to get under a 100kg, but barring that I want to get under 102kg because that will mean I'm finally halfway to my goal weight.

I've been in induction for 6 months now. I plan to stay on it until I lose an additional 62 lbs. (I've lost 35 lbs. so far). It can be boring but I try to just find substitutes for things I really enjoy. My biggest life saver has been Mama Lupe's Low Carb Tortillas (3 net carbs). You can buy them on netrition.com. I fry them to make chips and serve with cheese dip. Or I make peanut butter and jelly wraps (use sugar-free jelly). You can make tacos, philly cheesesteaks, etc. Best of luck!!

First things first, I need to get back into ketosis ASAP!

Good luck with that! It seems to take me a few days to get back into it...

I'm just beginning my 4th week on induction. The first 3 weeks I didn't loose an ounce. I had done Atkins several years ago and it worked extremely well but I have been told that the 2nd time around it isn't so easy although being in mild to moderate ketosis the entire time. I was encouraged to hold strong and persist, which I have. last week I knew I was beginning to break thru since I began having that "Atkins flu" headache. Sure enough, I finally began to loose and am loosing about 1 pound a day since last Thursday. I know this rate won't continue but I'm just excited that my body has finally converted to burning fat for energy instead of glucose. YEAH! I hope to loose 6 to 10 pounds during this challenge. So always persist thru plateau's.
