I've neither lost nor gained, still 215. I've been maintaining for the
past few weeks; I'm in the process of relocating and am temporarily staying
with a family and have no kitchen facilities of my own.

I still am going to continue in the challenges, however. Please sign me up
for August; I'm going to try for a conservative 3 pound loss.
Current: 215
August Goal: 212

Thanks,

Just made goal this morning 275. (274.8 to be anally precise)
6 lbs lost while "maintaining" for summer.

I've actually splurged on regular meals repeatedly, even had real
chocolate. Not to mention fresh corn, tomatoes, squash & peppers from
the garden. Tried to cut carbs where I could while being "bad". I've
bouncing between 275 and 281 for over a month. A few days staying low
and it just drops off.

August goal : 350/275/Aug-269/225, 6 lbs to lose

August will be the same 6 lbs--which will be a little tougher with all
the tomatoes ripening in the garden. I think my second batch of corn
is a goner--so that may not be an issue. Also the splurges have
disrupted the obsessive/strict counting regimen of the first months.
I'm trying to find some balance between counting and winging without
reversing my weight loss. I'm also gonig out to eat regularly--
something I avoided totally the first four months. Having the choice
of so many carby food that I still enjoy is a tough one. I'm trying to
enjoy a moderate carb meal out and balance it with eating lower carb
at home. So far not gaining but kinda scary to dance on what is
perceived to be the edge of going back to old ways.

I've also changed my end goal. No one thinks 200 is a reasonable
weight for my build. I agree--but having never weighed this little
I've no clue where I'm stopping.

Hi, Carol Ann!

I'm very pleased to report that I weighed in *still* at 210 this morning,
despite the TOM this last week. I believe that's a loss of 11 pounds for
the month. Yippee! I've been exercising more and regularly (stationary bike
and walking) and counting calories as well as carbs. I feel wonderful, and
I'm not experiencing any cravings.

Please put me down for 3 pounds for the August challenge. I had hoped that
my tomatoes would ripen and I was compensating my goal for eating them (love
those tomatoes!), but they're all still pretty green. Besides, I like the
surprise of a 'whoosh' when I weigh in.

Thanks for all of your help and hard work with the Challenge!!

Hi Carol,

I would like to join the August challenge. It's only been 5 days since
I started, and I would like to aim for a conservative target of 5
pounds in August.

Others who don't know who I am, I introduced myself in the "Yet
another low-carb newbie starting up..." thread.

I am 215/215/16* since 06/27/04.

Thanks!

Actually that is 215/215/16* since 07/26/04 (put a wrong date in my earlier post).

Hi Carol Ann,

For some reason my data for the July challenge didn't make it on the
chart. I started out the month of July at 285 with a goal of 12 pounds
for the month. As of this AM I weighed in at 252.8, which means I hit
my goal with .2 pounds to spare! Whee Haw! That makes a whopping total
of 139.2 pounds lost since I started lo-carbing back on October 19,
2003.

Not bad, huh?

Because the weight loss is getting tougher as I close in on my goal of
225, plus the fact that I start my vacation in just three weeks, let's
set a goal of just 8 pounds to 245 for the month of August. I might do
better than that, but I will be happy just being in the low-mid 240's
when I return from my vacation.

Thanks!

OOPS, I meant so say I started out the month of July at 265, not 285.

265 - 12 = 253

That's mo better.

for 5 pounds again, for a goal of 206.

Oh, I missed this part! I'd like to join again, I'm starting at 178, and would
like to aim for 170. I don't know if my 2 week vacation back home to CA will be
a good or bad thing. On one hand, I usually end up doing a lot of walking, we
go into San Francisco, etc. But on the other hand, the food I'll be surrounded
with won't be low-carb. I'm not too worried, although I may indulge in a little
authentic sourdough bread!

Loss of 5 pounds for the month.

Been a strange month. Big chunks of hair started falling out near the
beginning of the month and it scared me half to death. Just figured I lost
too much too fast, so I switched to maintenance mode for a couple of weeks
and the hair loss stopped.

Life has turned in to a series of personal crises these days, so I don't
think I'll be joining the August Challenge, but thank you for doing it each
month. I've really enjoyed being in it.

I'd like to join the Aug challenge.

I'm new here, so I'm not sure what info you need from me.

My current stats are 254/234/140. My goal is to lose 5 more pounds in Aug.
