OK, so I know that the first 10 lbs is water, but it still coming out of MY body. It is day 3 for me and the scale keeps going down. 2.5 more lbs from Sun am to Mon am. good.

Sounds great and congrats to you. I was totally surprised to lose 5 lbs the first day. It really freaked me out. I am assuming that you started on the first of the year. Is that correct? Good luck to you. I also started the first of the year. I did it for about a week and a half then I went off it for Christmas. ;-)
this is my 3rd time around. I started in 1999 lost 30 lbs and even tho I was trying to prevent it, I got pregnant with S#2. I got HUGE! and Jan 16 2003 I went back on Atkins, lost 12 lbs on induction, and reached 144 by Thanksgiving, my DH was diagnosed with incurable cancer and I started having a cheat here and there, then the exercise stopped (or should I say I stopped exercising) and got back up to 170 over a year period. Now that it has been 1 yr and 2 days since his diagnosis I am ready to get back to me a little bit. It does work if you do it right.
best wishes

I totally agree...every time I lose water weight (like once a month at my TOM) I get excited. Maybe it's not fat loss, but it's nothing I wanted to carry around, anyway!

got on the scale this morning 161.5. man, my liver was full up on gycogen and water. I am not dehydrated either. My Tanita does bf% and I use that as a trend for how hydrated I am or not.

Thanks, Rosie! I haven't lost any weight since November or so, but after reading articles on leptin posted by DJ Delorie, I'm excited to try zig-zagging my WOE a bit to see if that knocks my body into a new weight-loss phase. I'll continue working out with cardio and resistance training 5x a week, too.
Your kudos feels like a real pat on the back, thanks again! S t a c i
ok so this morning is 160. I must be getting to the fat burning stage soon here. My ketosticks are OLD so I think I'll buy a new box today.

FYI you're the first to trigger the GOAL! flag on the new robochallenge :-)
You can restart (or recalibrate) the robo-challenge with the "month-start" tag if you want to. "month-start:160" resets the starting weight to your current weight, for example. Or you can just change the monthly-goal to something more than the default 5lbs.
Assuming you're paying attention to the robochallenge at all, of course.

The robochallenge is a software program that reads the newsgoup and notices these lines:

It then uses those lines to do what Carol Ann used to do manually for the monthly 5 lb challenge. Which is, it keeps track of your monthly progress and congratulates you when you reach your goals.
Since it's a program doing the work, and not Carol Ann, Carol Ann gets to take a break and spend quality time with her family, and the rest of us don't have to wonder if she's on vacation ;-)

Does Robo come after us if we don't succeed? Chasing us down the low carb supermarket aisle!
