Hello *tap tap tap* anybody home?

Ok here's a knock knock joke...

Knock Knock...

(Who's there?)

2 pounds

(2 pounds who)

2 pounds gone... from you know who!!!


I know corny... go ahead.. say it.... I'm a dork!! BUT a very happy dork that's able to report a 2 lb loss this week!! Yeeee Haaawww!!

Ok people... I expect a full report on your lbs lost by the end of the week!


Have a great week of losing!

Way to go Gretchen.......looks like you've jumped right off that plateau! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Gretchen! It does appear that the plateau has been broken.. Good for you for sticking through it!

WOW ladies, you are doing fantastic!

I'm nervous about my official weigh-in (wednesday). I've only had one "off" meal, but according to the scale it made me gain 2.5 pounds. I also couldn't exercise yesterday because I worked at an arts festival during the open hours of the gym (figures) but I'm going to do my damndest to get on the treadmill tonight, which I avoid like the plague except in desperate times such as this.

Blah. Up a pound and no clue why. Then again, I was up 3 pounds just 2 days ago. My weight fluctuates crazily. Maybe I need a new scale...

Feeling bummed out, I went out and bought a smaller size pair of jeans last night and they FIT! The 26 is a a little snug, but so were my 28s when I started.

Don't ask me *how* this happened, but I'm down 4 pounds this week to 231. Sure, I stayed on plan and exercised a ton last week, but 4 pounds is crazy. I guess I've seen a quick loss after a plateau before, so I'm not looking a gift, um... loss in the mouth.

Here's to another on-plan week!

(Congrats, all who lost, and Gretchen, who is on her way to the maintainers! )

2 pounds down from last week - for a total of 52 YTD.

Congratulations, Jennifer (teapot) and Gretchen -- Dana, I'm sure you didn't gain 2 pounds from one meal, you silly - that would take 7000 calories and that would sure be a doozy of a meal I'm thinking! Jennifer (scuttle) don't worry about a little water weight -- you know going down in size can ONLY be a good thing! Great job, you guys!

Sarah, can I just say again how impressive 52 pounds is???!!!!!!

p.s. I downloaded the trial version of Diet Power. I LOVE it so far!!!! You're right... it *is* better than FitDay! I love the "bank" and the goal setter thingy.

I'm so glad you got the DietPower! My online buddies Summer and Gen tease me about having stock in the company because I got them to get it too --- but they don't regret it for a minute -- they love it too! I've never known anyone who used it to be disappointed. I've been using it since I started to live on plan, and I'm STILL learning things I can do with it! If you ever want help with any shortcuts or have any questions, I'll be happy to help, just PM me!

Thanks for the nice words about the 52 pounds -- I appreciate it. And I'm SO EXCITED for you about the 4 pounds -- you must be so happy!!! I would be bouncing off the walls.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LOOZAS!!!!

Im down 1.5 this week, to 212. I'll be SOOO happy to get under 210, it seems as though Ive been losing this 10 pounds for months! Truth be told, I have been, b/c I farted around for so long. Any hooo....I'm down this week, and I'm VERY happy!

Yay, Amy Jo!! I say forget about what you were or weren't doing before -- you're losing now, and you're on the track and motivated. You're doing great....209 here you come!

Down 2.5 wooohooo!

I am down 2 lbs this week. Pretty good considering I didn't exercise or drink much water at all.

Hi there. I added a bio to the sticky last night, so does that mean I can come in and play---um...weigh in?

So here's my starting point as of this morning: 317
(which is a little higher than I've been lately..good thing I'm here, eh?)

I've enjoyed the posts I've read so far and I look forward to traveling the path with you all. I suspect that checking in with the forum in the mornings will help me move directly to the exercise bike and elliptical trainer. Sometimes it's hard to be motivated.

Cheers-
LLS
