My scale is also down 2 lbs. this week and I jumped for joy!!!!!!! 2 pounds is tough when you've already come so far. Congrats to you!

I'm hoping that mine wasn't water weight...hmmmmm. Oh well, I do feel better because since my return from Europe I have really cleaned up my eating. And feeling better is more than half the battle for me

allison and still trying: woo hoo for 2 lbs!! It seems like a small amount, but it's going the right direction, and 2 lbs is about as much as you should really lose in a week anyway.

silverstar, I hope your wedding is beautiful! I'm sure it will be, and a month is Europe sounds fabulous. Have a great time!

Welcome, Susan! 10 lbs, wow! Exercising makes me feel better, too. Keep it up - you'll feel better and drop the lbs!

I've been kinda blue yesterday and today, I'm not sure why. Maybe all the rain. I'm not homesick but I still don't feel quite settled here... i think anticipation of the long weekend and no one to spend it with is bothering me. Luckily I have work to do (both for classes and my job). And hopefully soon some of my acquaintances will develop into friendships and I'll feel less awkward on the weekends.

I joined the small gym at the University Medical Center. It's very cheap for me and it has all the essentials: cardio and weights machines, free weights, balls, etc. It's about a mile and a half from my house and I can take the bus or bike. I'm still working on those biking skills. I haven't ridden in a few days because of the rain, actually... gotta get my bum back on the bike!
