Nicole - Do you LOVE fruit like you LOVE cake?

Have a happy thing to share this morning...my BNWI was 179.5 this morning! :woohoo: Going to the COD before lunch, so hopefully I'll get to move my ticker a pound or so, but I was thrilled to see a new decade on the scale at home!

Noooo, I didn't even realize that I put my love of fruit in all caps. Nothing compares to my LOVE of cake. :) XOXO

Whhoooohooo Megan. A new decade, on any sclae.......is fab!!!
XOXO

Congrats Megan! Keep up the good work chickie!!

I stepped on the sclae this morning and I was up 1.2. I've eaten OP since Sunday but its TOM and my dinner was a little on the salty side last night so its most likely water weight. I drank some HLW this morning and I'm drinking 10 glasses of water. Gonna flush that water weight out.

Megan: Congrats on the loss, you rock! It feel great doesn't it?

Kristen: That's funny, the last time I used SlimFast I gained weight too. I thought I was the only one. It seems to be working so far so hopefully it'll work for you this time.

Okay, official COD weight was 181.4, which, when added to my .8 loss on Monday, has me down 2.2 for the week so far. I'm in a weird kind of happy shock. And we're doing TO again already next week??? :dance: Thismightwork, thismightwork, thismightwork!!!

*thinks*

Maybe I'm channeling whatever spirit Kristen channels when she loses big each week? :p

Hang in there, Erika! I'll think tidal thoughts to help push that water right outta you!!!

Erica - I have been POP since Sunday too, but my sclae said I was up 2 this morning. I don't have anything to blame it on though. I'm drinking extra water today too, just hoping it will work.

Nicole - It does get tough packing my food for work. Sometimes I get everything packed then by lunch I really don't want to eat what I packed, but I make myself. We have a fridge in the office, so I have started keeping a few different fruits and veggies available.

Megan - You've got it going on girl! 2.2 is a good weekly loss, you will be in the decade really soon.

2.2 for the week? holy crap girl its only Wednesday! Way to go!

Wow 2.2 lbs by Wednesday...that's amazing. I just finished my lunch of vegetarian chicken nuggets. Very tasty...with light bleu cheese dressing and some cherry tomatoes. It just sucks I used to be able to get 6 of those and now I can only have 4 :(. Anyway I'm ranting. I just refilled my water bottle with another 4 glasses of water. That sclae is going down tomorrow!

YESSS!!!! (and yeah, I dunno about that 2.2 pounds already...we'll see if it stays gone when I go WI again on Friday. Tonight we're going out to dinner, so I'll probably gain it all back with sodium, heh.)

Lemon water is your friend...Lemon water is your friend.... LOL

Oh are we supposed to have water with the lemons..when I'm going out for dinner I just suck on a few whole ones before and after.. wait they are lined with salt.. i must be dreaming of tequila hee hee

I had another good day yesterday plan wise and I am planning on the same for today. Had a not so good day at COD today but that is in the friend's thread. But I am going to forget about that and just concentrate on myself. I haven't brought lunch today but I already know I am getting a chef salad here at work and I have it all pre-counted so I will be ok.

I go see the furkid tonight for awhile so I am looking forward to that. Then this weekend I get to do taxes....yippee!!!! But I know I am going to get a refund so now I just have to determine how much. I am doing exs' as well, hopefully he will have to pay in!!!;)

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

TO was not as successful as the last time - 1.5. Oh well. Kind of happy about eating real food today, though.

WTG Megan - lets hope it sticks for Friday.

ALannah - Yeah, I read about your COD visit - that sucks. You have a good attitude about it, though. The power is in you, girl.

Hah, well, the restaurant did me in - back up 3 pounds on the home scale. I'll do my best to flush it out today, but am anticipating a slight gain at the COD tomorrow. It was WAY worth it, though. :p

Kim........I love your Easter ticker.....too cute. You know....when I saw it, it got me to thinking............if you and I worked together, at a school, we would get in trouble a lot. You are such a smart a**, and it just cracks me up to think of you having to say all the right things at the right time. Kind of like a movie........LOL.

Megan..........it's the sclae gods......they are after us this week.........be patient........it will be better soon :)

Scary - you know me too well. The words that play out in my head are MUCH different than what comes outeth the mouth!

I have a friend that I used to work at a local City with - he's the tax collector and I was the Finance Director. We used to converse without talking (OK, gossip and make fun without talking...). We hardly realized we were doing it until one of my other employees said - "If you two are going to keep talking without speaking I'm leaving!" We almost died!

Kim, do you watch the office????

I hate the sclae gods!

When is official WI day?

Barb - I think it's Fridays.

Well I am not going to be able to WI tomorrow. I am going to record this weight and then I will start the WI on Fridays afterwards.

Starting Weight 155

Congrats Barb.......I see you have had a great loss. I am sooo happy for you :)

Week 2: 173.8
Week 3:
Week 4:
Week 5:
Week 6:

Week 1: 182
Week 2: 180

I did better on the slim fast week, I think I'm going to do that each week instead of TO from now on. I like the everyother day thing more than two days in a row, my body felt better too!

Wow, you guys! This is awesome! Great job!!! :D

Okay, official WI has me at 181.8, now...a .4 gain from the restaurant dinner, but that should be easy to overcome by the weekend's end. :) That puts me at a 3.2 loss so far for the challenge. :)

Well, as I thought, I gained this week. I was POP all week, but I think I've got some medical stuff going on. I've talked about it in the Friends thread. Oh well, I'm going to keep going.

Update-
Starting weight: 178
Friday of Week 1: 177
Friday of Week 2: 180

I guess I will start this off for the new week. I hope everyone had a good weekend. We finally broke out of the latest deep freeze and we are approx 35C warmer than we were this time last week - no exaggeration. We were -32C last week and now today it is supposed to be +4C. At least some of the snow is melting. I can't write much as I have to start work for the day - but everyone have a great day and be POP!!

My home sclae showed no movement either up or down over the weekend (I guess that's a good thing, right?) I'm back on Day 1 of TO again, and will WI on Wednesday to see how it went. :)

I'm still with you guys! I didn't make it to the COD last week, but I am going in today. I did TO yesterday and today, though, because I wanted a quick recovery from Irish Fest. I will post today's weight as my Friday weight.

I do not want to post my weight.......i am skipping this last weeks WI. LOL. I am doing FF today and tomorrow........and maybe wed and thurs too..........to correct my naughtiness :)

Nicole - I'll own up to my badness if you will. My weight on my home scale yesterday morning was 196.4. My weight this morning was 192.0. Finishing second day of TO today.

Ok, fine...........LOL, my HS this morning was 191.4. I am right back to where I was when we started this challenge. I hope my results are as good as yours. Good for you for getting right back at it. That is exactly why you have been so successful, Cassi. Even though you have hard times every now and then.........you have amazing stick-to-it-ness :) You are one determined girl. :) You really help me.............thanks :) XOXO

I am definitely determined. I about died when I saw the scale yesterday, but I used that to stay strong yesterday. I knew it was mostly sodium/water retention due to the fair food and lots of beer, but there were still a LOT of calories too. Remember, the only way we can fail is if we quit!

Official COD WI today is 192.4. I updated my post on the first page.

I can top you all.. I weighed in 4 lbs heavier today than Saturday!! First time I had some indulgences but had planned for them so I say screw the sclae!
I'm on the TO and tomorrow as part of this challenge and best see those 4lbs gone right back to wherever they came from or there will chaos in Canada!

Kristen - I'll bet you the counselors probably fell over when they saw that. Congrats on your planned indulgence!
