Hey Avalon I'm in! I need some major motivation! I swear I havent been on the wagon since freakin november. Roll Eyes

ehh...I dont have a camera though, at least not a digital one with me. I'd have to hold my computer (I have a mac-it has a camera) and that would skew things a lot. So i will just post my numbers, don't worry I'm honest. Cool

I'll post it tomorrow morning.

Ok, here it goes, but I want extra points for bravery. I'm in. Starting at 137-138, and I want to be 135.

My picture of scale is in the mail...

And we're off!

Good Morning! OMG! I had wine and chili last night! OMG! OMG! OMG! OK here I go... hey opti what about using a cell phone?

I discovered if I hop off the scale the number stays for a few seconds and I didn't have to hold the camera and show my ugly feet.

Carny, Socks! what a great idea DOHHH!!!

Starting weight 164.3 but that's not entirely accurate because of how one wine and chili dinner will digest by tomorrow. Did I mention Pringles and licorice? Roll Eyes

Come on everyone! You've got a day to post your stats!

Yay! B!

Wow, those veggies and 1/2 cup of ice cream yesterday really packed more of a wallop than I expected them to. I had 40 carbs yesterday and gained two pounds, unbelievably. If I'm lucky, by the end of this challenge I'll be back where I was 4 days ago at 148. Roll Eyes

So I guess that's my goal.

Oh no, now everyone knows about my finger-length second toe. Cry

As you can see from the growth, that pedicure was from New Year's! I just can't bear to remove it because it's so cute. I need to get another one done so my 'roots' aren't showing. Laugh

Geez, you're right! I didn't even think about that. I was just so concerned about showing toes.

Avalon · Top Carnivore Joined: 29 Nov 2006 Posts: 3326

Avalon naked too Yup

barb0324 · Guest

Sorry I've been distracted and not sure I can do this challenge... so many temptations, but maybe that's a good thing, have to learn to withstand peer pressure and do my own thing, no matter what!

I did take pic but no time to upload and post right ... I think I've lost some weight, hard to tell with my scale, it's all over the place. Might pick up a new one tonight.

Love all your footsie pics, lol, I need a pedicure, BAD!!!

KUTGW!

Ahhh, there's nothing quite as satisfying as gaining two pounds, then eating really well for a day, zero-carbs, a reasonable amount of food, moderate calories, working your ass off outside shovelling for an hour and a half and waking up the next morning to see that you're a half pound lighter. Roll Eyes

Yeah... nothing quite like it. Good times.

I think I'm broken. Seriously. My body just wants to be fat, too much, I think. Laugh

whats butter-sipping?

Also, I feel your pain red, I'm actually up a pound from yesterday. This sucks! Cry

Carnation · Top Carnivore Joined: 15 Dec 2007 Posts: 3586

I melt about a tablespoon of butter, and chug it like a tequila shot before every meal. It helps to increase my fat to protein ratio. When I want to lose weight, I just do more butter shots. Be careful if you try it though, suddenly upping your fat intake could mess with your digestive system.

Avalon · Top Carnivore Joined: 29 Nov 2006 Posts: 3326

Remember there was that whole butter diet thing... Girls were eating sticks of butter and losing weight. I have to search for that link...

I had a rough day emotionally but it started off terrific. Down to 161.4 this morning, but that always happens the first night after I've been bad. Tomorrow's up for grabs.

Don't get discouraged. We've got more than a week ahead of us!

B, get that new scale. From what you told me, it's messing with you, and knows it. You have to call 555-666-6666 and the Men in Black will come right to your door. Don't forget to wear your shades Yup

... They're here now, gotta go...

Best wish...

After I lost that weight last month, I did a search and found an official butter diet. Who knew? It's just something I'd stumbled onto on my own, and since butter really agrees with me, it's a good thing. I sort of hesitate to promote it because I'm afraid someone who has an ED type of mindset would take it too far.

How were you bad, Ava?

Avalon · Top Carnivore Joined: 29 Nov 2006 Posts: 3326

Oh do post a link. I wonder if it's the one I'm thinking about. Inquiring minds want to know.
