Nicole! We missed you too! (Isn't it funny how we all miss each other when we're "gone" [Pearl] and we've never even met?)

As for me... But nekkid this morning had me at 196.8, I will post COD WI later. That makes a home scale loss of 9.4.

I would have probably hit 10, but I spent last week drinking my fruits (not cheating, but drinking my fruits for a few days), and then Sunday we were out all day and I had a Shell gas station breakfast of 3.5 oz of beef jerkey, a veggie burger for lunch on light bread, and a turkey sub for dinner. Could have been worse, I suppose, but I was so mad I left the house without my slim fast and supplies.

9.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kick butt Cassi!

Shell breakfast - too funny!

I didnt follow the Slim Down Challenge to a T, but I lost 7.6 during the same timeframe.

WTG, Cassi!!!!!!!!! WTG, Kim!!!!!!! WTG, Kim!!!!!!!! How did everyone else do??? The way I look at it........if everyone had SOME loss over the last two weeks........then this has been a total success!!!!!!!!!

Nicole, you're picture is gorgeous, you have such a happy smile! I need to get one of me on here since I dont mind nearly as much having my picture taken as I did 44 pounds ago.

OK... I'm revising. I posted before I "went" (TMI, sorry, but this is important!)

Butt Nekkid Home Scale
Starting Weight 206.2
Endng Weidht 196.0
Net loss of 10.2!!!!!

COD
Starting Weight 204.8
Endng Weight 197.4
Net loss of 7.4!!!!!

I have no idea HOW or WHY the COD scale was less than me the day I started. Figures it's the only time ever. But... WOO HOO!

Cassi........you crack me up, girl. It is important, and I am soo thrilled for you. How did you like seeing the COD scale at 197? I was sooo excited when mine was below 199 and 198. It made it seem much more real....Onderland that is :)

Kim (mom of three)....thanks for your sweet compliments :)

oooh.... someday.... 199....

I was waiting for it to be back up over 200 today at the COD. I need Friday's and next Monday's (day after Super Bowl) to be under 200 to really believe it.

Kim - You WILL get there! I see you're in the 2-0's. I creeped there forEVER! I'm still afraid I may go back there. I still don't believe the scale.

Cassi - I bet you'll stay there this time. The last time was your peek at it, this time will be permanent!

Thanks! :hug:

I am SO behind the times now...but I saw a nice little drop on the scale today, and finally picked up some slimdowns (I'd just done TO prior to y'all starting this challenge so I couldn't play along), so starting tomorrow...(tomorrow? yeah, tomorrow)...I will jump in and try this, too! Does it matter which you do, the 21-day challenge or the slimdown challenge? Is one better than the other?

Megan-just depends on how long you can stand it . . . .

Megan - It's just the length of time. I didn't want to commit to 3 weeks so I did the 16 day challenge.

Day 1-2 is TO

Day 3-7 is regular plan but replace 1P and 1S w/a Slim Down (or Slim Fast Optima and rf string cheese). Use fish for your other protein.

Day 8 is regular plan (no Slim Down)

Day 9 is regular plan (no Slim Down), but have a carb craver meal for breakfast or lunch

Day 10-14 is regular plan but replace 1P and 1S with a Slim Down and have fish for your other protein

Day 15-16 TO

Kim.........I noticed your ticker dropped into the 00's too. It will come.....it will come.......Onderland that is. You have really been working hard lately....and it is paying off. Please, don't get discouraged now!!!!
XOXO
