Oh this is perfect for me! I have a conference starting July 5th that I would love to be a little lighter for! I just lose so slowly, though. I'd love to be 155, but honestly would be delighted to be out of the 160's

Starting weight 164.4
Goal Weight 155

Welcome Nona... Even losing alittle is still losing weight and I bet you might just surprise yourself and lose more than you think! May your scale treat you nicely! as we hope and believe the same for ourselves Can't wait to see your first posting I bet it is going to make you happy!

Welcome JRP2689!!!

Happy Wednesday!! Can't weigh today but ate on plan and will continue the same for today!! Boy is broccoli good!!!...just kidding - forced myself to eat it at dinner last night - I usually like it but it was overcooked!! When I get home - I think I'll make a crustless broccoli/cheddar quiche over the weekend!!

Wannaskipandlaugh The faux potato salad stayed home but the low carb dip went to the party!! I felt really good about the outfit I wore to work yesterday - the second outfit from about 6 weeks ago that I finally had the confidence to wear!!

Welcome lash0rty!!!

Happy Friday!! Back home and finally got to weigh - looking at 194 which is better than where I started in January - some weeks I struggle more with portion control than others and this was one of those weeks.

Wannaskipandlaugh Remember you are in a better place than where you started!!! Keep on going - this updownupdown thing will turn into a downdowndown thing!!!! I just know it - look at your numbers - You have come soooo far already!!!!!
