Weight Loss Challenge

I've been low-carbing since December 2003. I started with Atkins--hated that. Moved on to South Beach Diet--love it. I quickly dropped 9lbs in the first week...then nothing! Little ups, little downs for the next 9 weeks. And so-and-so lost 25lbs, and the other one lost 40lbs (Bitch). I need to lose 30lbs...actually 31lbs MORE. In the next 4 weeks, before I put on the bikini in Florida and show off the new belly piercing! (Don't get me wrong--I am no hard-body, even after the 31lbs, but bikinis are the only way to go so you can go to the bathroom without having to take everything off!)(I'm a 36-year-old mother of three--so I've got a little belly bonus (that will probably never go away, even after 31lbs) and a few stretch marks--badges of honor, Baby.)

Anyway. I've decided this is a pivotal week--I'm going to give it my all. Stick to the lo-carb regimen and workout daily for an entire week. Another 9lbs would be nice, but probably not realistic. We'll see--and I'll tell. Honest.
Stay tuned--
