Ran a cross country 5K in the rain. I did ok until crossing the 2nd ditch and had to crawl up the other side. I still placed 2nd in my age group though! Now that I'm recovered I'll say it was fun. If you had asked when I crossed the finish line-not so much.

I'll try to come back and notice and comment later. I've got a list of errands to get done and then a party to attend. Have a great one.

woot nice job on the 5k! I weighed in at 140.0 lbs today which means I'm finally in the normal BMI range! But I'm still way overweight for my frame size.

I remember seeing your name the first time I looked on the list provided by PrincessPumpkin. I did so much cutting and pasting to get it all in ABC order that it must have gotten sliced somewhere in there. Go back and look! I have a special suprise on the list just for you!

ArtsyGirl: Congratulations on the 5K, thats one of my fitness goals.
.........
I'm worried about my scheduled weigh in tomorrow, I went through a 3 day binge from my Grandfather being sick and from the TOM. I hope it wont effect the scale too much, but at least I know that I can get any extra off fairly painlessly.

My scale isn't budging. I've not been excellent the first week we started this but I didn't over do it. This week I've been great and TOM is gone. I'm not down any. I guess out of 60 people someone had to plateau. Why did it have to be me and right at the very beginning? I guess being that I'm only 23lbs to goal, it will be expected. I doubt I will make my challege, but I'm still coming in here. Someone posted their tagline is "I only fail if I give up!" Perfect! I wish I wasn't having a mini plateau (hoping it is only a mini..lol) at the beginning of school/work. There will be some pitfalls. The wonderful thing I've learned about myself lately is that even if I eat some of the foods at parties, I no longer eat more than one plate or keep going back for more. That's a positive thing. I'm making taco soup to take with me (minus the chips). It has 1lb hamburger meat, 2 cans of salt free diced tomatoes, 2 cans of blackbeans, bell peppers and onions, and 2 cans of corn. Sometimes I put a few chips at the bottom of my bowl (lay's light tortilla chips). Sometimes I add ff sour cream (not tons). Sometimes I add a controlled amt of 2% shredded cheese. Not today though. It's too expensive for a party (I'm broke) and I don't need the extra calories if I eat something else.

OK, I've had a chance to look at the list and I'm in for the challenge.

I noticed that out of the people who have a number in their screen name, over half of them have used an odd number.

A bit about me: 33, married, no kids, 2 dogs, piano teacher and starving artist.

Good morning ladies,

The second week of the challenge had passed, and all in all I'm 10 lbs down after these two weeks. I started South Beach two weeks ago, so I'm on track so far. Yesterday I cheated, I ate some fudge... But I'm still at 247 this morning, which is good.
From now on I'm supposed to continue to lose ~2 lbs a week. If I do that, I'm on track for the challenge.
You've been great, I read your posts every day and you are a great support and motivators...

Ivy

P.S. Couple a things about me, I'm 35, married, no kids, going to school for my bachelor degree, double major in human development and psychology. I will graduate in december....
