Hi everyone,

I figured with the influx of people getting banned at the moment I might start this thread. It is sort of a challenge/support group for October. A lot of us are angry about being banned so I figured lets not get angry lets get even. What better way to get even that to lose some weight and unvalidate that crazy way of eating. We can lose weight safely and with fat and calories.

So this is the KK BANDITS CHALLENGE - Lose your lifetime membership and 10 pounds for october.

As a side challenge I thought we could cummulatively lose heidis weight for october. It has been estimated that she is over 300 pounds so if we post our loses once a week on mondays then we will add them up and see if we can get rid of her once and for all.

Feel free to vent but don't let it get in the way of our focus. To lose weight. There is life after kimkins and we are going to prove it.

Take care and good luck with the success. Post your name, starting weight and next monday will be the first weigh to post the losses.

Raewyn, 193.2

Ha Ha Ha! I absolutely love it! You GO RAEWYN!!! I'm up for it!

Come on Banned Hood, lets get to goal THE HEALTHY WAY!

Slim
CW: 167

Hi jess

After this post I can almost guarantee you will be banned so come on over and join us. We have a total of 300 pounds to get rid of.

Raewyn

Raewyn, Slim and Jess I am SO in. I love this. Should we weigh in tomorrow? I haven't weighed for a while so have no idea where I am.

Can't wait to lose "the kimmer!"

Mary

Okay, I'm up for it. 10 lbs by the end of October. I was banned on the 16th for posting at LCF.

ChrisTina SW: 370.8 GW: 360.8

ETA: I'll have to get a red dress for that 'after' photo. >snicker<

Hey wait, do you have to be banned in October to belong here? I'm confused. If so, guess I can't join.

I'll join in!! I weighed Monday and I'm going to try not to weigh for two weeks! I will do my part in losing Kimmer!!

Mrs A

Welcome. I think all us bandits need to stick together no matter when we get or got banned so jump on board. On Monday just post your weight and any loss this week. Welcome michalle and love the dress jess.

Raewyn

jessdr.. I'm sure I could find a way to put your user name to good use and get it banned quite easily.
want to pm me?


Seriously.. I think I need this... a little "revenge" incentive that benefits ME!

I went on an icecream fest today... no reason.. just did it...

I definately need to refocus my committment!!! count me in ... so can I be an official KK Bandit???

Yeah deni welcome.

I remember you were the first person who posted their goodbyes that I actually saw and I remember thinking whatttt?

That led me to investigate and although I was a bit slow in leaving I did eventually.

I think we should focus on losing the little red dress kimmer first which is only 118 pounds. The real kimmer might take a few months.

Raewyn

LOL very funny!

I don't have THAT much left to lose!!! I'm trying NOT to be anorexic!!!

Anyone up for a bandit picture??

We are doing it cummulatively. lol. Posting our losses and weights on mondays and adding them all up to hopefully reach our goal of getting rid of kimmer. First little red dress kimmer then actual kimmer.

By the way I am doing these induction menus from linda sue. Regandy has the beginners basics thread with all the details. It took me a few days to get motivated but the food is great. I am stuffed and only ate half my lunch. Anyone looking for a good way to get into a healthy plan try these.

Take care

Raewyn

Count me in, kids. . .

And Raewyn, Linda Sue is an absolute kitchen goddess! I think she supplies half of our weekly menus these days. . .

Sara

Deni, why is it that when I looked at your "bandit" picture, I immediately heard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" in my head?

Sara

Oh, you are so funny! I am ROFLMAO!! I am going over and get banned just so I can be a part of this!!

Love and big hugs,
Carolia

I love it! I look forward to getting to know everyone. Being part of a group is great. Can't wait to lose "the kimmer!"

Did everyone get their E-mail about Kimkins being under new ownership? I was surprised to get it. I thought that being banned I wouldn't be considered a member any more.

Mary

I'd like to be a part of this group. I don't know where to go. I don't know what to do anymore and I am floundering. There is so much to see and read and so many forums to look at. I have been so caught up in the fascination thread that I need somewhere to go to focus my energy on LC and not just the controversy (although I admit I have really gotten involved with it).

I have spent a while looking around and I was kind of drawn here, and then I left and then came back blah blah blah and now I just decided to go ahead and jump right in.

Hi s loveless
you won't know me from KK but you sent me a nice pm once when I posted that I was upset about the whole controversy which I had just heard about when Jimmy posted his apology.

Everyone was really mean about it and you sent me a note to say you were sorry everyone was so nasty and to just hang in there. I never answered back because I didn't really know what I wanted to do about everything at the time but I want to tell you now that I really appreciated what you said and that your words were kind.

What are the rules/guidelines for this challenge? Weigh in every week . . . . beginning right now? Anything else?

Thank you.
Robin

Hi carolia, terry and sara,

The more the merrier and the more of kimmer we get to lose. Nothing worse than a woman scorned and we are living proof.

Terry try the beginner basics thread that regandy has done. I have just done day one and it was fantastic. More food than I could eat but it will take time to eat again. You know what I am enjoying the most, is the variety and flavor. KK was so bland and boring. If you pm me your email I can send a word document with each day and the relative recipes for that day right up to day 16. It makes it more concise and easy to read. That goes for anyone who wants to give it a try. I must say the jello fluff was good. I had tuna patties for lunch and taco salad for dinner. Both really good. Quiche for brekkie and they were all fast to make. The quiche has six servings so I have made that my brekkie all week. I hate cooking for more than a few minutes so the recipes worked well for me. Also I can use them for the family meals too.

Well once again welcome everyone.

Raewyn

Hi robin

I think we were posting at the same time. Welcome. Just do your weightloss plan and post weight and loss on monday. Our personal goal is to try for 10lbs for october and collectively as a group lose kimmer. First the red dress kimmer and then the real kimmer. We only need 12 of us losing 10 pounds to succeed at the first goal. The real kimmer may take a few months. Mainly we are a place to chat. There is life after kk and we want to prove with fantastic results.

Take care

Raewyn

Did anyone hear that kimmer sold kimkins. I got an email.

What you should all do is photo shop all your faces on the same red dress body and email it to her

Hey guys, just a reminder the "controversy" talk about Kimkins needs to happen in the Forum Free-For-All area. THANK YOU!!! Here's the link:

http://www.lowcarbdiscussion.com/index.php...pic=1633&st=120

ok just had to share the news. Lost 2.5 pounds yesterday. I am not officially weighing in but yeah. My bmi is now overweight and not obese. yeah yeah.

Raewyn

Hey, Terry! Good to see you!

If you haven't already done so (and don't already have one), head over to Amazon.com and get a copy of DANDR; you can get 'em cheap, and the book is very helpful!

So: post our weight loss every Monday. . . I'll probably create an extra ticker to track mine, since my brain seems to be mush most of the time!

Sara

Raewyn -

Hi there everyone

Don't forget to post your weights tomorrow and you loss for this week. I put one of my pounds back on with a bottle of wine but it was my birthday and worth it. Haven't had a drink in 3 months so it was a good excuse and worth the pound. I will be interested to see if it goes tomorrow.

Take care everyone and good luck with the weigh in.

Raewyn

I'm dreading tomorrow's weigh-in. I had some diversions on Friday and Saturday. I refuse to weigh myself until tomorrow to see the damage done, though.

Okay, I weighed in today at 370.8. That means no weight-loss for the week.

SW: 370.8 CW: 370.8 GW: 360.8

I'd like to join up to get rid of that 118 pounder. I spent all of Sept working on getting my calories up to a halfway decent level and only lost 1.8 pounds for the whole month, but last week I was down another 1.8, so am beginnning to think there is hope. I'm still watching my calories and staying between 1000-1200 per day but overall doing Atkins 72. My weight for today is 176.

ok I was 1.5 pounds down.

Raewyn 192.1 -1.5

Only another 116.5 pounds to get rid of for the first goal of little red dress kimmer. Come on guys post your losses or no losses if that is the case. On Wed I will post the collective weightloss.


Raewyn

Hi Raewyn! I lost 2 pounds this week. I was hoping for more, but I'm happy with that! It's definitely better than gaining, which is what I've been doing since quitting KK. I am doing my best to contibute 10 to 12 pounds of weight loss this month! Then maybe over the course of 4 months we can lose the real Kimmer's weight!! That will be awesome!

Hope everyone is doing well!

uh oh... I forgot about this challenge! (ducks and hides from the carb calculators being thrown my way)

I did weigh in this morning though.. at 148.8... which is where I've been all month really. I think my ticker is still a pound down from that.. but I just haven't wanted to change it!!!

I am walking/running with the couch to 5k program .. and eating wise.. I've been in a "whatever" mood... afraid to care.. and unsure of HOW to care!
But.. I really do want these last 10 pounds gone.. so I am going to "care" and count this week and see what happens. Today my carbs were still kinda high.. but calories were good and percentages okay.

How is everyone else going about trying to lose?

How do I become an official bandit? LOL! I am not banned from the other site, but would like to be....

I officially weigh in on Wednesdays (change my ticker). Do you want my weight loss since last Wednesday anyway? Or, do you want me to wait until Wednesday morning to post? I actually went off plan last week and weekend (went on an outdoor camping trip with Girl Scouts and now my daughter has chickenpox for the second time) and couldn't get to the store to get all my 'safe' foods...so, technically...I'm doing an induction again...for the last four or so days.

Hi there

Welcome to the bandits. If you want to get banned I would post many links to the little red dress photo/scandal all over kimkins. That should do it. But come and join us anyways. The fact that you are over here shows that you are not too keen on the kk way of life. Post your loss since last wed and then we will go from there on mondays.

Raewyn

Ok, when I weighed Monday morning...I was down to 152 (from 155)...so, that is a 3 pound loss!

Thanks for letting me join the Bandits!

WTG everyone on their losses. To all the others that didn't post hope to see you here today. We have only lost 6.5 of the kimmer so if we want to see her gone anytime soon we need your posts and your losses. The posts are more important so even if you don't lose just pop in for a quick hello so that I know you are still on board.

Welcome to all the new people.

Take care everyone and good luck for the week.

raewyn

I'm a little off track, but not out of it yet! I will post next Monday for sure. I am a little afraid to because I know I have gained a couple of pounds. We have had 4 family birthdays the last two weeks.

Raewyn --

I lost .6 pounds last week. . .

Thx!

Sara

Hi Raewyn.

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I fell asleep on the couch and didn't get back on the computer.

I lost 2 lbs. last week. I wish it had been more but I did join a new gym after quitting Curves and have been exercising a lot.

Can't wait to follow our stats to see how quickly we can lose "the kimmer."

Mary

Dang...I stayed the same this week 218#, I'll do better
next week!!

Good luck Bandits

Roxy

Raewyn - I am printing off your menus that you sent me. Those are so great. Thanks again for sending me them.
