    BUT I would declare from the roof tops if I squeek into the 240'S!!
  • 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 Nona - so glad you joined us for this challenge!! Checking in on the longer challenges keeps me on track - "eyes on the prize"!! The more the merrier!!

    Happy Tuesday Wanaskipandlaugh!! Wow you are going to get to 50 lbs off during this challenge and a new decade!!

    Holding at 194 and I can't weigh until Friday this week but I will check in!!
  • Holding steady is a good thing especially after a Holiday weekend. Did you share your Potato salad? Hope you had a good time!

    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!!
