I’d like to see how much eveyone is losing from day to day or week to week. Is there a place on this site where people post this information?

It was from a day or two ago, and I can’t find it. The OP froze an Atkins shake (now that they’re in those flexible containers, this works), cut open the top, and ate it like ice cream.

Fab idea!

I just went to the store and bought Atkins shakes for this very purpose. Stuck one in the freezer. Yum! Can’t wait.

Cut it open — it’s like a strawberry rock. I’ve left it out on the counter for a half an hour now, and it’s still a solid that would bend my spoon if I tried to eat it. I am feebly chipping away at it, getting tiny flecks of strawberry-flavored frozen stuff. It would taste great, if I could get more than a molecule at a time.

*sigh* Here I sit, forlornly staring at my would-be dessert. Thinking about power tools . . .

I hope this will be an ongoing thread. Share your thoughts and creations re: protein drinks.

Do you like greek yogurt or almond breeze in your shakes? Egg creams? Got a ridiculously good recipe? Find some more satisfying, empowering than others?

Having trouble keeping protein shakes creative, tasty, and Low Carb?

We are trying to resurrect this challenge, originally seen in 2007!

This Challenge/Support Thread is for anyone who has lost, gained, and tried to lose weight again.

Yo-Yo dieters see their weight go down and up and down and up again, hence the name NoMoYoYo (no more yo-yo dieting!)

We want to offer support to help us all get off the dieting rollercoaster.

Rule #1: Post here AT LEAST once a week, whether you’re on plan or not.
We can’t help you if we don’t have contact with you.

I’m not sure how many "rules" we need, but suggest them if you think we need to consider them. (We are considering some type of buddy system, where you give your email address/phone number to a couple of other participants….so they can track you down if you disappear!)

This thread is for people who weigh themselves DAILY, and provides a great place for support and accountability. Feel free to join us.

Simply copy a week at a time and post your weight everyday, good or bad. Even though we all LOVE to post when we lose, it helps to see that WE ALL fluctuate, so stick around through your UPS and DOWNS! We’ll be here for ya!

This thread has helped many of us stay on course so that we don’t sabotage our weigh in for the next day. Try it, it just may help you too!

Last month, we had a goal of 10 pound weight loss. This month I’m going to change it up a little.

As you will see on the template below, choose your own personal goal for the month. Enter in your goal weight FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY. Whether its 5 pounds, 10 pounds, or anything in between, set a goal for yourself where you will need to push yourself, but attainable if you really set your mind to it. So hey, if you are a peson that usually loses about 4 pounds a month, maybe you want to set your goal to 6 pounds or so. Got it??

When you copy the template, be sure to keep your personal goal weight in your post so that we can see how close you are to achieving your goal throughout the month!

OK. LET’S DO THIS!!!!

OK. LET’S DO THIS!!!!

This month we are going to do WHATEVER we got to do to get this scale moving! If what you’re currently doing isn’t working, then change it up. We are all different and got to find out what works for US. Whether you are at near goal and possibly have to count calories, watch portions, or if you have a ways to go, we are all in this together and deserve to have we want. A new healthier, beautiful body! So let’s do this!

Let’s not let this month pass us by! Spring is near and the clothes WILL start coming off soon! Its about to get hot folks! So get moving! GET MAD! WE have to own up to our actions! Make it happen for once and for all! There is nothing to it, but to do it. When you feel weak, come here for motivation. If you are battling temptation, envision your goal and don’t stray. Remember the way you feel every time you cheat or fall off plan. Its not worth the guilt, set back, or the bloat!

Don’t worry about fluctuations, but look at the big picture. Your body goes through a lot of changes during the month. But YOU KNOW when you are working your plan and are doing the right things! Give yourself praise for your progress. Be nice to yourself. Promise yourself an even healthier and happier life. We will do this!

MARCH MADNESS! Let’s show each other how bad we want it!
