I'm in DietBet 10...this is my second bet (also doing the Nov Journey to New You at same time). Did the Oct bet and loved it. Really keeps you motivated to stay on track. Of course I'm wired that way. Money invested, I stay accountable.

Drink more water! Also eat nothing but protein at night--don't eat your meals too late. Watch how much sodium you are comsuming. The scale will eventually move. You are doing good. Don't beat yourself up over you weight loss slowing. Dona

I do cardio first and then lift also. I bring a hand towel to sit on and also wipe down the machines. I hate being all sweaty too, but feel better about sitting on my own towel and then wiping down the machine. Dona

You may find around week 3 and 4 that you have an abundance of energy and need to work it…

The hardest part is the first 2 - 3 weeks. Then it does get easier. If you want variety and some different recipe ideas, look at George Stella's low carb cookbooks (Stella Style and some others). Dona

I'm on day 3 -- so far it's going good. I modified my eating -- trying to stick around 20g of carbs. Now for the exercise....not so good. I usually need to get past my first two weeks to work in the exercising. Tonight we made Honeysuckle White Turkey burgers -- I was amazed at how good it was. Will put this on my regular…

Glad you started this topic. I've been looking for fellow low-carbers. Atkins is the only thing that works for me. I've adopted it as an eating lifestyle change.

Congratulations! Amazing progress--very inspiring.
