Numina-I loved the "blow by blow"!! You're an awesome ring side announcer!!

LOL! Thanks DevsMama --- but do I have to talk in that annoying nasal Howard Cosell voice?

"This is How-ard Co-sell, ringside with Mo-ham-med All-i....."

Of course you do!!! LOL I would take Dicky V!!

Numina! Thanks for the boost --- that was hilarious! I watched the video too, perfect. Fight fight fight, that's my motto for this week now. The scale has gone up on me for the last 2 days but that's why i watch daily, to see what it does. I am preparing to TAKE IT DOWN!
Great job Numina, you rock :D

My weight was tricky this week. I weigh daily and went up for 2 days straight then started dropping again. Only 2.6 to go for my goal. Oh, that's next week!
Good luck everyone!

Hey, wait a minute, BareFootNikki!

You are shorting yourself a whole WEEK on this challenge! (I think, anyway.) You started on 4/4 --- but you shouldn't count that day as the end of a week! I am pretty sure you should be ending this challenge on 5/9, which gives you TWO weeks to lose just over TWO pounds! Now, maybe you decided to end on May 2 to better match the opening post or something. Either way, it sure looks to me like you are going to EXPLODE your goal!

Argh! Thanks Numina! You are right, i was shorting myself a week... eek! My stress level is SUPER high. I am OP but stress does cause trouble anyway.
And my math was bad.... i need to lose just under 2 pounds. I am feeling good about this one :)

If I were the pounds of fat between you and that goal, BareFootNikki, I would just pack my bags and slip quietly away. Otherwise, you are going to OBLITERATE them! Yeah, you really should be feeling good about this one!

:)

ROFLMAO! It is official, I love you Numina! :hug:

I am flabbergasted. I am only 1-2 pounds from my 5% goal with time to spare! WTH!?! That is so not like me. (I think I'll ask for a scale for my birthday so I can have more exact numbers.)

Yesterday, I put on a pair of jeans (real jeans without any stretch to them at all) that I haven't worn since way before baby #3. They were a size 20. I could even button and zipper them up. I wore them for half the day, even though it was 86º outside! LOL!

My mom said something that both excited, and scared the **** outta me. I am now only 1 size away from being in the teens! Size 18 is looming on the horizon, just over the next hill!! OMG! Do you know what that means?! That means that I could possibly buy clothing in the regular ol' section of the store! :fr: I am trying not to get too excited because for one, I just got into the size 20's and secondly, I know how wildly different clothing makers vary their sizes. I'd hate to walk into a store and try on a pair of pants only to be devistated by what is on the tag.

:o Sorry. I just sorta had this size revelation and it was on my mind. I knew my clothes were getting bigger but I never really thought about smaller sizes. It was just a "lightbulb" kind of moment.

Bump

I'm in! mine would be 12lb in 5 weeks so that's about 2.4 per week. I can do this!!!

Just popping in for an update and to see how others are doing!

So I started at 198.5 on 4/3/09 and was trying to get down to 188.5 by 5/8/09 but I'm thinking it's not gonna happen :( I'll still try my hardest and see where I get though! My problem is I had quite the backslide, had about 5 days of eating crazily and the pounds shot back up so then I had to lose them all over again! Right now I'm at 196, ARGH! I keep thinking of where I could have been had I not had that blip in the radar. *sigh* oh well, just gotta keep on truckin! How is everyone else doing?

5% is 10lbs, which swould take me to 190, after that only 11 more lbs in 6 weeks for my Spanish vac. hm. pushing it but I'll give it my best shot!
