Team 1

+5.2 this week

Team 1

SW: 233
W1: 231.5
W2: 231.5
CW: 230

SW 233
April 8 231.7

42, F, 5'9", SW 233 lbs. I do NOT speak english.

Tried calorie restriction since July 27, 2007, got really edgy and food-obsessed in few months, stopped. Swiched to low-carbing mid-january, after couple of months of reading through (seemingly endless) materials on PCOS. Got my health reward literally in a week :) and feel great and comfy so I believe I can stick to this regime til the end of my days -- and stickability is the most important feature of a good plan.

Average weight loss has been 5 lbs a month, so I suppose in 12 weeks I can contribute 14-18 lbs to team's total.

Cheering works, sure. But in my opinion, it works on minute tasks; months-long efforts demand good planning and sticking to plan. That's why I suggest we shall start with team's SWOT analysis and rely least on slogans and screams.

Took my time and looked at everyone's profile. As a team, we are youngest -- that's our strength and weakness at the same time. Easier shedding, easier distraction. 2 members haven't signed in since subscribing to challenge, that's a bit disturbing, and reminds how helpful should it be if team members can write or call to those who ARE distracted at weigh-in days -- or who have told us that they need some personal reminders to stick to their plans daily :D Probably best way to change contacts safely is through Caloriecount's messages.

I'd like to join too.

Thanks for asking :)

Biopsy was weeks ago, today gyn showed results and appointed surgery etc. And based on biopsy she assured it's myoma, the most innocent of all tumors, really big and dense -- but hey, I'm big too! -- but easiest of all tumor surgeries. Guess how I fussed last weeks :D :D

So. Gyn asseverated today, that I'll have [unfair?] weight loss advantage either Oct 31 or Nov 7 (elaborated on on next monday) -- during biopsy they estimated myoma weighs 1.8-2 kg (4-4,4 lbs). And she allowed all physical activities she proscribed more than month ago :)

What did you say -- crunches? Whole body strenght, group per day? Let's do them!
