Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 OH, I'd love too, especially since EAS is doing a $150 for challenges started by the thirtieth...I'll have to get back to you though becuase I need to start when me hubby does and he's recovering from a jump kick gone bad. Last challenge I started two weeks before him and it wasn't as nice as I think it will be if we have the same start day. > Anyone will be starting on the 30th of June. If so, please let me > know. I'm looking for a Challenge buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Hi everyone. I am also starting Monday. I have been lurking here for months. I am really impressed by the encouragement and support available in this group! I have started challenges countless times. I came close to finishing my very first one but ended early because I had surgery. I came close to finishing my second one but ended early to go on a long vacation. That was February 2001, and I haven't really nailed it since then. This time WILL be different. I turned 31 a couple of weeks ago, and had the startling realization that I have spent basically a DECADE wishing that my life was different. Most of that wishing centers around not looking the way I want to look or feeling the way I want to feel. I am 5' 9 " and the scale said 192 this morning. OUCH! My sister, who lives down the street, has been doing Atkins for several months and has lost a bunch of weight. I did it with her for a while and was amazed at how I was never hungry and had absolutly no food cravings. I lost weight easily and went from 193 to 178 pounds in about two months. (Of course, I fell off the wagon and have gained all but one pound back!) I also found that skipping carbs left me with very little energy for exercise. My energy level was steady throughout the day, but strenuous exercise was all but impossible. So I am back with the plan that has worked best for me, with a newfound sense of resolve.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Welcome back, Libby. This group gives great support and you *can/will* finish a challenge. Best of luck and post often! -JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Hi I'm planning on starting June 30th too. My first challenge I did really well right up to the 6th week and then petered off totally, not finishing. When on the program I felt great. Overall I did lose 18.5 pounds and lost lots of inches in the 12 weeks of C1. Just wish I had kept up with the exercise and such. So this time I plan to learn from my mistakes and do even better this time round. Luv to have a challenge buddy. Keep in touch.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Welcome!! I'm sure you'll do great. It sounds like you have thought out your goals and if you continue to focus on them, it makes it a lot easier to stick to plan.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 Let me know. My husband was going to start also, but now he'll be waiting for his friend who got a bit of a flue. I am not waiting any more and will be starting on my own. > > Anyone will be starting on the 30th of June. If so, please let me > > know. I'm looking for a Challenge buddy.
