Good morning chiquitas!

Weigh in time again

I unfortunately gained 1.5 back last weekthat brings me back up to 161.5 ( a total of 12 lbs lost but I think it was due to eating too much bread on the weekend and too many salty foods - I will have to work a little harder this week to get rid of it and then some if I want to reach my mini goal of a total of 15 lbs lost by April 5...sigh...

Back to the drawing board

203! I'm going to be under 200 for the first time since I was a junior in high school!!

Whoo hoo Lizziness! You are only 4 lbs away from Onderland - you can do it!

I know, and I'm ahead of schedule, because it was my summer goal. I am thrilled. I have only been using south beach, I haven't really even started exercising yet. Though I've had more energy and been doing other stuff. Just not actively trying to exercise yet.

Yay! I stepped on the scale this morning and I have lost the 1.5 I knew it was from lack of exercise last week and the salty food I had on the weekend!

Good Going Mauvais, and lizziness. I am down to 181. and trying hard for 178. gotta wash that weight right out of my haiiir. ( sung really badly offkey )

Good going Heather! Just think you are only 3 measly pounds away from 178 - go girl!

BTW - I love your new avatar!

thank you i am so gonna be op until i get there!!!lol ooh the determination.
yeah dontcha just love fairies?

Yes - fairies are beautiful! I am going to put some in my garden when I get my own house (soon I hope )

151 as of yesterday....17 pounds down since I started Atkins. Can't complete attribute it to the diet though, my work schedule has me down to the bare minimum of caloric intake and I keep catching this stupid stomach bug from the kids at the hospital. I would actually rather be eating.

Mauvais, Heather, Lizziness and Amyjo, you girls ROCK!
I'm down to 210, my summer goal is 199. Mauv & blu, I love garden sculpture I have a cat and a gnome, gonna have to look for a fairie.

I have probably six or seven fairies in my frontyard flower bed. All different sizes and color- love them....

Here is a decent catalog.

Reporting in... down another pound this week. Yay! I've been trying to do the low carb thing, which I hate but I know really works.

198/176/130

sflake- I would definetly fill my garden with sculptures

Thanks for the link amyjo!

Hi Sojo! congrats on your loss!

I think I'm going to "hold my cards" at this weight for a month or two while I do some weightlifting on my upper body. Saggy skin and saggy boobs have suddenly become an issue, at least to me. And I need a pause so that my mind can catch up with all the changes I'm going through. My "body recognition" reflex needs recalibration, lol!

But I got into size 14 jeans and swimsuit yesterday, and even a size 10 shirt, oddly enough. There's such a huge variation in clothing sizes nowadays. Still, "experimental shopping" is a real ego boost, and it helps me keep in touch with the new "edges" of my body.

I'm thinking, if I get to the end of April and I haven't lost any more inches, it's back to 1400 calories a day, and carry on from there. That's today's hypothesis, anyway.
