I binged earlier this week and I am lucky to be posting a loss at all.
But I am losing again and had a good feeling when I got up this morning.
I am grateful for all of the support and inspiration in this thread.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone, feeling inspired by people hitting or heading closer to the big goal!

I had a nasty fall off my bike this evening and have bruised my ribs and have a nice purple leg coming out. My cat keeps climbing on my leg and it is sore sore sore. Can safely say there will be no workout tomorrow morning, so will have to be extra disciplined this weekend. I love cycling to work - very very glad I wear a helmet though!

good morning everyone :)

I did the Mark Lauren video last night, the strength workout. It's hard, but I was able to modify the exercises I couldn't do. I'll keep at it and soon I will though ;) What I really liked about it was that he starts breathing hard during the exercises and is sweating and takes water breaks - whereas most other videos the girls always look perfect and happy and fly through everything. So that was nice. I want to run today, so I hope it stops raining at some point.


kelijpa well done getting your water in! I have no idea how much 64oz are but I'll just assume it's good!! ;) also, nice drop!

wannaskipandlaugh glad to see you lost the French fries weight so quickly :)

boatingmommy I think not gaining is always a win ;)

Turtle11 6 months are a long time -- awesome dedication! Hope you'll get your woosh :)

gardenerjoy hope the scale will be kind to you!

Jacqui_D great staying at goal! and it's only the 21st. You rock!
Yeah, unfortunately there is the good, fun kind of library and the bad, serious one at school. Well, it helps me put my butt down and stay focused for longer, so that's why I go. Don't enjoy it too much though :p
also: :belly:

Woodstock keep at it!!

darius awesome to hear you had a loss! well done :)

Minneey sorry to hear about your accident!! Hope you're not in too much pain.

It's Friday already!! woohoo! Have a nice day :D

You're so smart to wear a helmet. I remember a story in the paper maybe 20 years ago in Virginia Beach VA - where I used to live - a woman was riding her bike without a helmet in her neighborhood - a pickup truck tapped her, and she went down. Not a hard hit, just knocked her over. She hit her head on the curb and died right there on the spot. What a tragedy. I wouldn't pedal 10 feet without a helmet. It won't save us in every eventuality, but it will help in cases like that.

I'm back up a half-lb. The salted pumpkins seeds I snacked on last night may have contributed! :T Water, water, water today! :cheers:

Darius, congrats on being down another lb! Good job! :carrot:

183, good job with the ML video! :exercise:

Woodstock, I hope the scale keeps dropping steadily for you! :crossed:

Don't know how I posted a loss...I had baked chicken with a healthy dose of Sam Adams winter lager last night. I'll take it though!!!
Minneey - Glad you are okay! Give yourself a little time to heal...hope you are feeling back up to a ride soon. Cats definitely don't care if you are hurt or sick...they just love a warm lap to snuggle in.
Kelijpa - Whoopie!!! Way to go on making goal!
Turtle - Gotta love that whoosh!
Darius - 5 pounds is pretty awesome!
Rhiko - Remember that you are your worst critic. I am sure what looks bad to you isn't really that bad. The fact that you are running is fabulous! But if you are really worried, try another bra...they make so many now days. Keep up the good work!
To all of you...Happy Friday!!!

Week one, start 242.8
Week one 240.6
Week two 242.6
