Melly: I think you should record your stats anyway. We're all friends and we all have and are going through the same problem each month. It's your choice of course, but next week when the water plus any extra lbs come off you can really brag. I've got a water problem too, but if I record it anyway, it will then be behind me and I can look forward. You are such a motivation to us, let us be a motivation to you. If I can tell you I weigh 265 lbs you can tell me the fat fairy peed on you.LOL I'd take your 185 + water weight gain anyday. Trust us. We're all in this together. To all you other beautiful ladies: Did you know that the total pounds on Mellyann's list is 503.10 lbs? Can you believe that? Heck just a few pounds would be like giving birth. Say, an 8 lb bouncing baby fat ball! So even a 1/2 lb loss with this many ladies would be great.
See you all tomorrow.

MELLY MELLY!!!! You have to WI! You just should! Don't be afraid of the scale....exactly this is life and TOM likes to visit us once a month because he loves to leave us a nice present! A nice loss on the scale when he's gone if you be good!!!!!!! So com'on chickee...we are all here for each other! Be proud of what your doing....if this was easy everyone would be doing it!
Okay gurls...I had worked today at curves...got in my 40 min exercise there and when I came home I knew I should go for a walk since it was clearing up and wasn't raining...But I really did not want to go! But I did! I am really glad I did too because I ended up doing half of it running/walking! And I feel better...I just kept thinking I have too because I want to be slimmer and healthier and it was so easy to get this way it cant be that easy to get to the way I want too...I have to work for IT! WORK IT WORK IT & I love IT!
Oh Yah I am from MANITOBA, Canada & I am following WW flex program!
Melly, of course it is your personal decision, but go ahead and weigh in tomorrow. If it is TTOM, your weight loss will be that much more impressive next week. Hee Hee Hee
Okay, I hope I don't sound like a hippocrate, but I don't think I will weigh in this week. It is during that time of month, I am super bloated and I haven't been very good. I am afraid if I step on the scale it will work negatively for my morale.
Anyone else who wants to skip a week, this week or any other, for whatever reason, just post that you are doing so and I'll put a N/A for the week.
Okay, anyone want to heckle me?
I am definitely not going to heckle you but you never know. I know so many people who think they have gained and then hop on the scale and see a great surpise of a loss. But if you do gain, well gains happen, life happens.
Hi everyone, I started on 8/20/06 with this thanksgiving challenge, I really don't have any support so I was glad to find this sight. I have a lot to lose and would like to have 30lbs off by turkey day I think it would help my back pain and help me learn to walk again easier. ( new leg ) so I'm excited. I only lost 1lb but, that's 1 less to lose. good luck everyone!

When I weighed myself this morning, I am down to 241.5. So that is a loss of 6.5 lbs since last week! YaY! Well, this only confirmed what I knew already. Pop and fast food was keeping alot of weight on me. I am really going to keep avoiding that stuff as long as I can. Anyways, I am so happy. I am on my weigh!
he he I like that u2girl....I'm on my WEIGH too!!!
Well done you guys!!! I've lost ONE pound too...231 and I was pretty glad to see it, since drinking and eating so much at girls poker night friday and a semi cheat weekend...but I've been good Monday and Tuesday with some really intense workouts....WOOHOO!!! Every time I've told my MIL I lost one pound, she said, "dont you know what one pound of hamburger at the grocery store looks like? It's NOT nothing!!!!" (That one always helps me)
Oh yes, I am from Canton, Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall Of Fame (big deal right?) and I don't "do" anything specifically, just go to the gym 3-5 days a week on a program set up for me by a trainer there. Diet wise, I just try to make better choices: fresh fruits and veggies, leaner meats, white meats, low cal-low fat, I guess...I really admire WW and kind of affiliate myself with that, though I don't really know all the WW specifics, I just figure I'm pretty close to that.
Hi everyone!
I'm reporting in at 185.4 a 3.9 lb. loss from the start of this challenge at 189.3. Yippee!
Congratulations to everyone so far for doing so well!
We CAN do this!!!

I'm down 2.6 from last Wednesday but up .6 from Saturday. I had changed my choo choo to show Saturday's weight, but from now on I'm just going to show the Wednesday weight.
Personally, I've been weighing on Saturdays for years, whether I'm on a diet or not. I record it in a spreadsheet to keep a history of my ups and downs. From experience, I know that I lose the most at the beginning of a diet and it tapers off after that. If I don't stay motivated, it goes the other way. I'm counting on you ladies to help me keep the faith for this challenge!
Mellyann, there are always weeks when I gain weight. Don't let it get you down. We love you anyway!
WTG.
, but I guess it's better than gaining 1 lb.
