I will lose 6 lbs by April 9

Options
This is mainly to motivate myself. I find it easier to control myself when I announce to the world that I'm going to lose 6 pounds. The goal is pretty realistic, so there's really no excuse for me to slack. So here we go.
Current weight 142.5.
I will check in everyday and update my weight here.

    i have to say I LOVE atkins diet! I dont even think about food anymore, never hungry, never craving. And i feel much more enrgized. This weekend i learnt a lesson though - no drinking alcohol on low carb diet. Seriously, don't do it.
    I lost 1 lb so far, but it would have been 3 if i hadn't drank alcohol. Oh well, lesson learnt, move on and keep at it. i have two weeks and 6 lbs to go.

    go do some cardio for an hour or so and then you can gain back calories for dinner!
    Don't give up!

    3 lbs lost a week, at your weight? That sounds dangerous.
    Don't over do yourself.

    So my low carb efforts are paying off, I feel way leaner than a week ago and even though I don't know my weight (roommate moved away with the scale) I feel like i lost weight. I am going to get a scale soon and measure it exactly.

    But i feel good, there's always lots of carb counting and MFP checking before eating anything but I'm pretty happy with this diet, as I barely think about food and I love that.
