SMF you're on a roll!

[darius]

Hello everyone; today is Friday weigh-in day.
Jacqui D, flower1, Tuca125, and gardenerjoy, thank you very much for the words of encouragement all month long!
I don't know what's going on - I am dieting but I am not starving myself. I am working like a farm animal so that's probably it. Also I am accustomed to having unusually large water losses when I first start a diet (I started in December).
Best of luck to everyone through the rest of this month!

Congrats Darius! All I can say is "wow!"

[Jacqui_D]

Yay! Leah's back! I hope you're feeling better with having your tonsils out! Definitely drink up if you're dehydrated and don't worry about water weight lbs! Water comes and goes! So glad you're back!

Darius, thanks! wow, 3.7 lbs past your monthly goal! That's fantastic!

Joy, thanks! Great job on tricking the scale and congrats on the drop! Looking good!

SeeMyFeet, woohoo! You're doing great! Keep going!

C'mon PrairieQueen! I'm rooting for ya! You can do it! 146! 146!

Volatis, occasionally we have months that go around in circles. Hang in there! I did that for two months in a row, but it gets better!

Thanks Raining! on a new decade!

Sundove, so close to a new decade and your January goal! Keep going!

Noshoes, great attitude in not giving up!

Keli, way to keep it in the 170's!

Cakegirl, how are your daily weigh-ins going? : I do daily weigh-ins because I don't want to miss going down and then maybe being back up just because of water weight. That may be what happened with you. Keep giving it your best!

Sum, you're so close to goal! You can do it!

LittleBlueCat, keep at it! You're so close to a new decade!

Flower, woohoo! I hope you make your Bonus Goal #2!

Good luck to everyone for continued progress!

[LovelyLeah]

Jacqui I missed you!!! I'm feeling way better. I'm not eating solid foods without much issue anymore. Hopefully by the start of next week things should be back to normal.

I went wedding dress shopping today. It was actually fun and enjoyable but now I'm completely drained. Nothing really stood out to me but it was nice to finally feel like a bride. So many life changes recently that the wedding has kinda been on the back burner of my mind.
