Thanks Crow I definitely like to think of it that way!
Pollifaxfive I know all too well how frustrating those plateaus can be, don't let it get you down...I am sure your whoosh is coming!
Jaqui Just look up what 10 pounds of fat looks like and it will seem like a much bigger number...I look up the images of what my fat loss looks like every time I feel like I didn't get a big enough number and it keeps me going. Great job on that 10 pounds!

I hope you all are getting ready for a wonderful weekend, I wish you plenty of sunshine and plenty of time with the ones you love!

Pollifax, I agree with CakeGirl -- plateau usually means that you're due a good whoosh. Hang in there until it kicks in.

Morning ladies. I'm off to a late start. Teenager problems last night, meant a late night for mom and swollen eyes this morning. Not to mention TOM making everything 10 times worse. In any case, I'll catch up with you guys later. Looks like the scale is doing wonders for you guys. All these losses are inspiring. Keep up the good work.

Incredibly, I am down another half lb today!

Delphi, thanks! And yay on losing that water weight and then another lb! I'm sorry you had a rough night. Teens can do that to you. What a turbulent age! Hang in there, girlie!
Joy, how many more strategies are in the first half of your book that you need to get through this month? :
Syn, congrats on another new low!
Keli, thank you! And you too! We're going to get this done and make it stick!
Cakegirl75, congrats on the lost lb! And thanks! Looking up just how much fat I'm losing sounds like a great reminder to appreciate what I'm doing!
Pollifax, I'm wishing you good luck!
Crow, thanks! And good job! You can do it!

208.5! That meets my bonus goal! I'd set another bonus goal but the next 8 days will include 2 cheat days, a trip home to Nashville to visit with my Dad for a few days (which could throw my exercise off), not to mention I expect my weight to level out any day, so I think I will be thankful for what I have, keep doing what I'm doing as best I can, and however it turns out is how it turns out...till next month!

Jacqui_D: Just one more strategy for me to meet my goal. I actually read it, I just haven't time to implement it yet!

LOL! I've lost .05 kgs on each of the last 4 mornings. If my weight loss were any slower, my scale wouldn't register it! But at least it's headed in the right direction.
