How low can you go in 09 weightloss challenge#1

[china 1]

ok i will do one and see how it goes i hope people post on it. i have started come here all the time just on the december part. does anyone else spend alot of time just here.

Are you sure you would want to do a spreadsheet....how about just a thread here in our forum, similar to the one in the food forum but just for us and we could start a new one each month. If you do a spreadsheet, that would be lots of updating and it could get overwhelming. Why don't we try a thread first and see how that works?

Ok Rafa I got you added! Welcome to the challenge!

ogg it's really hard to lose the weight before your first fill. It's very common that people do not lose or even gain a little before your first fill but the best thing I have found for myself to do is even still after going off the liquids to keep on working at a low carb diet and to step up the exercise each week. I had surgery the same day as you and have lost 29 lbs since surgery. This last week I only lost 4 lbs. I this week have stepped up my exercising and looking for more low carb ideas for the meals. I am on solids now so I know it's going to be new challenges but still it's a process we all have to go through. Don't get discouraged. Remember this is two steps forward and one step back. You have made progress overall and will continue to make progress! Just keep working your program!
