PrettyMom - that's a nice 2 lb drop you had! Great job!

happierme... halfway to goal! That is FANTASTIC news!

Lulu, you had a coule of days of awesome drops, so it's not surprising that you need a day or two now to adjust before another drop.

Ian, have fun with tennis! That sounds like a fun way to get exercise!


Today... Blaaaaahhhhh. up almost 6 lbs from the weekend. I know why, and it's certainly not because I overate by 21,000 calories, so I will just hang in there until next week when this water weight whooshes back off.

Everyone have a great day!

Geezzzzzz 3 days over my beginning weight = mad/unhappy Sue - Watch out world

Well Stupid Scale.... I don't care about you today... I am wearing some clothes that I have not fit into for more than 5 years SO THERE!!

I am so sorry that some of you have gained weight... What is it? Is there something in the air? Are we thinking ahead to Memorial day and its BBQ's? IAN... I am going to treat myself to some beers YES indeed. It is a holiday and why not help out a local brewery and taste something new and just relax.. Sounds fun to me...

Are any of you having party plans this weekend??

[Telorida]

No party plans (yet), Sue... but we are thinking about firing up the smoker and smoking a few pork shoulders to make pulled pork. We make a ton and then vacuum seal and freeze it, then boil the frozen packages to reheat it... it ends up tasting just like fresh. We have a good vinegar-based spicy sauce for it that doesn't have too many carbs (we use erythritol instead of the sugar it calls for), so it won't even mean going off plan!

[wannaskipandlaugh]

ooohhhh That sounds yummmyyyyy Telorida I might BBQ (I have one of those 2 person charcoal grills) some burgers and freeze them... Meat just tastes better BBQ'd!!!

[PrettyMom09]

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

Hope you are having a good Tuesday. It sounds like we are all thinking about the long weekend already! Now I'm hungry for bbq.

5/16: 222
5/17: 222.4 (I'm sure it's just water weight)

[IanG]

Thanks Sue. No BBQ for me but as it is a special weekend I will also drink beer (like any other evening!). Hope it gives you a whoosh!

[IanG]

Tennis was so much fun Tel! And it reversed my gain. Down 1.4lbs today. I'm back in it to win it! Hope you all lose today.

[Lulu NH]

196 again today!! Hope everyone has a downdowndown day!!!

WannaskipandlaughNice job on fitting into the clothes!! Going to our neighbor's Memorial Day BBQ!! He is italian and makes the most wonderful, carb-filled foods - so it is a challenge for me - I plan to stick to the BBQ meats, green salad and any plain veggies and staying away from the desserts. I am bringing something low carb for the party but I am not sure what it will be yet. My goal is to get through the weekend at 196!!

[wannaskipandlaugh]

GW 258.5

Good for you IAN...Nice to have that 1.4 just stop by for a day to just VISIT and not be a permanent member lol

WOW Prettymom You are doing awesome and can win this baby today or tomorrow... Good for you

Happierme.... A mini stall but just a day... I hope you take alittle time out of studying and have a laughter filled weekend too

Lulu... Good for you for thinking ahead for the BBQ.... those Italian foods.. oh they are the best I hope you get alot of smiles and congrats (if that does not bother you) of how marvelous you look! That is the best desert!!

[PrettyMom09]

I haven't seen any gains today, great job!! You guys are a tough group to beat on these challenges.

I have become extremely antisocial while trying to lose weight because it is very hard for me to go to a party and not be able to eat all the great food or drink anything other than water (I do not like diet soda). I have to learn to say no to temptation.

My numbers:

SW: 222
5/16: 222
5/17: 222.4 (I'm sure it's just water weight)
5/18: 222
5/19: 222
5/20: 220
5/21: 218.6
5/22: 218.4
GW: 217

[happierme88]

Yay everybody is doing well!! I knew the water gains were gonna start dropping =)

Im still holding at 203.5. As long as its not going up, im happy =)
