  • Still POP! 5 Days in a row!

    I WI daily at home and was up today. I'm not sweatin' it though. I know I've been good so I'll be back down soon.

    I need to get exercising again. Maybe that'll be my goal for the weekend: to get the basement cleaned up and start using my treadmill again.
  • Jill, that's great that you've been POP. I rarely manage that...more often I miss a veggie or fruit. Have been doing better about not going over though.

    Last night was a challenge. We took our 24 yo daughter out for her birthday...her restaurant choice. She chose a very nice restaurant (of course...the parents are paying), which didn't really have any good plan choices for me. I had a steak, mashed potatoes, and a couple of the coconut shrimp appetizers. I needed to have a salad, but they only had House or Caesar dressing and I knew they weren't gonna be good for me. Anyways, I still feel bloated today.
  • Okay ladies,

    I am in for 15lbs. I hope to make it. I have tried the two other challenges and never made it. This should be the one.

    Starting Weight 174 on 3/24/08
    3/31/08 168.2
    4/3/08 who knows???
    4/18/08 - 163.2
    5/5/08 - 165 back from my trip
    5/7/08 - 163.4
    5/14/08 - 162.6
  • My nexst official (doc office) WI is April 7th. Scale at home is looking like it will be a pleasant weigh in. Tonight my Daughter had her school play. I pulled some jeans out of the dresser drawer that I haven't been able to get on for over a year...and they fit!!! I am hoping when (not if) I meet my Memorial Day Challenge I will be able to fit into my Tommy jeans!!!
  • Good morning all!
    congrats kate! i love when i get to wear something that has been in the back of the closet for awhile!

    as for me, today is my weigh in and i lost 3 pounds!! i am sure that it is water weight but that's ok b/c when i came of cokes i gained 5 pounds that i am sure was water, so i am almost back to my pre coke days. after that i should start to see REAL weight loss.
    have a great day everybody!

  • OK, I am in for 17.8 lbs. That would put me at 209 (I figured 30 lbs to 199.8 was pushing it)

  • I wasn't PoP (if I think that's the right way to use the term...be on plan?), but I still managed to lose. Weird...I think developing a nasty case of allergies might've spurred the water weight loss, though. Hrm. *shrug* At any rate, my 1st post in this thread is updated!
  • ok, I am going to try for 10 lbs I suck really bad at challenges, but I am feeling quite positive today.....so, WTH!!! Try not to faint at my WI today, ok
    3/31/08: 225.8

    There........I admitted it.............holy crap.......my all time high.........EVER. It can only get better from here, right?
    XOXO
  • Nicole- I'm with you!

    I am in for 10lbs!
  • Hey girls.....and Dan......this challenge ends on my grandbaby's due date Isn't that exciting????
    XOXO
  • Nicole - does that mean that whoever reaches their goal when the baby is born is "honorary aunt or uncle"?
  • ooooh, that might be interesting! =) The baby might have TONS of honorary aunts and uncles! I wouldn't be surprised if most of us will hit, if not pass our goal for the Memorial Day challenge! I seem to be on track, MAYBE a teeny faster.
  • Nicole, let's hope that your 10 pound weight loss doesn't mean that the baby will weigh 10 pounds when he/she gets here!
  • let's hope NOT!!!
  • Good morning all! hope everyone is having a good week.
    my weigh in for this week is 2.5 pounds! so far since starting this challenge i have lost 5.5 pounds. i'm half way there already, maybe i should up the ante and change my goal to 20 pound by memorial day. something to think about anyway, i'll let everyone know if that's what i decide to do.
    have a great weekend, amy
