Wow! Nicole that is awesome! Great JOB!

That's amazing Nicole! Way to go!

Nicole - so proud of you!!! Great Job!

Way cool Nicole!! Keep it up!

Everyone had a great week. I am loving it!!! Thanks everyone :hug:

You rule Nicole!!!!

Our weekend was better than it could have been.. I passed up on a free snicker's bar and resisted a quick stop at Carl's Jr. for a breakfast burrito this morning...

I probably won't weigh in till tuesday so here's hoping.. I'm attending a MLK Day breakfast in the morning and I'm praying there will be more than danish and concentrated fruit juice on the menu...

Hi guys - Well, I lost last week, at least. 1.4 lbs. Yay me.

Hmmmm.. Not much activity here on the Race to 20 page...

Speaking for myself, I seem to have hit a wall... While I'm well pleased that I've taken off 5, I can't seem to get past it... I honestly think it has a lot to do with activity... Or lack thereof..

Things have been slammin' at the office and with some other things going on at home, I haven't been able to play racquetball as often this last week or so... Feelin' like a slug, actually...

It was apparently a quick sprint.

OK, come on all! It's 20lbs!! We can do this!!!!

Down 1 lb this week! :)

Charlene

I started this blasted thread and here I sit at three!!!! grrrr. and yet. every morning I say, today I am going to add exercise....... then it is the next day...

now here I am starting to babysit on monday, for an 8 week old. that will shake things up.

and by the way...... oh never mind. I will go back to the weekly thread for this. I forgot I was on the race to 20........

Lettie.......you are cracking me up tonight :)

So, I want you all to do super good on this challenge......but just so you know.......I plan on winning the race :)

And.......if I do........I will start a new race to 20......with a buy in :) Someone, hopefully me :lol:, is going to get enough money to get their hair done after the next 20 :)
XOXO

I just want to say that in the next 20 challenge... I will be a force to be reckoned with! I have WILL POWER! DH went to Dairy Queen tonight and I sat there grinning at him drinking my WATER as he ordered a large moolatte!! Oh yea, go me!

:drool: Did you say Dairy Queen?!? :drool:

You must be a Jedi in disguise...the force MUST be with you, LOL!!!!

Charlene

Now that is determination!! That thing is about 900 cals and probably 15WW points!!

very nice!

I'm rallying for a HUGE loss next week. I w/i tues and can't wait to move that ticker...

That's the spirit Amy! Rock on!

wow, Kimberly..........i love me a moolate........WTG!!! you should post that in the victories thread also.......you ought to get double credit for that :)

I am sad to say I am up a little bit, for the second day in a row. I have been good................so I dont know what is up with that.......but who cares. :lol:. I know I have been good.....so I am going to change my ticker to reflect my actual WI, as Fri and Tue are my official WI days. Hopefully, I'll be right back down by tuesday. I plan on kicking butt this weekend :)
XOXO
P.S. Maybe it was the ham last night.

Hey Nicole...it was probably the ham...the salt content...should come right back off :)

Absolutely the ham, Nicole. Water water everywhere!

I have not been on the sclae since Monday's WI, and I'm strangely OK with that. I have been very good, so there should ne some payoff!

stay strong, stay strong, stay strong.......

So, has anyone hit 20 yet?? My 20 turned into 26...:o

Well, how is everyone doing on this challenge? Clmon everyone.....we have to get through it......the next 20 pays!!!!!
XOXO

Holy mother of weight loss Nicole...you are doing great!
So, I didn't realize this was a 'paying' challenge...????
My progress is pathetically slow but I'm hanging in there. Miracles can happen!

no,no, Joni.....not this one........I proposed a buy in for the next 20........and you don't have that much to lose......but if you want to buy in on the next one, I am sure we can figure out how to prorate it....maybe do percentage lost or something.. :) don't give up.
xoxo

Now that Nicole is winning she just wishes it was for money maybe.... You really are doing great on Atkins Nicole. I can't do it for a long time either, but I imagine it helps to break things up. I"m almost done with my flat belly sojourn and I'm very ready to go back to my LAWL plan. I don't do well with the 400 calorie dinners. 400 calories for each meal is too rigid to live with for long.

LOL - Nicole! You rock!

Joni - we could make the next one a 15 lb challenge - then you'd be at goal!

Dang Kim, you are rockin this time around. WTG!!!!
XOXO

WOW. What do you all got against Lettie that you wanna beat her so bad? lol

Oops! Up a pound this week...:o

I can't seem to get back on track...I hope everyone is doing better than me.

Have a nice weekend...

Charlene

HAHA! Yeah!!! what up with that!!?? Its all good. glad to see everyone doing so well.

ok. I am changing my ticker. I lost 11.2 lbs in Jan. but I was up from christmas so I didnt' want to count the first 8. I only wanted to count the 20 from 180 to 160. which would leave me only 20 more to lose. but that makes it look like I only last 3 lbs for the month when I really did have a good month. So that puts me 11.2 in. which makes me not feel like I failed so much.

oh GREAT..........there goes our chances, Kim!!!! :rofl:

Hey Lettie......my DH is in Poplar Bluff today on business.......how far is that from you? He said there is ice devastation everywhere.....he can hardly believe his eyes.

LOL. It figures. Challenges + Me = losing.

Ah, but let us look at what we lost in ONE month:
Kim: 10 lbs
Lettie: 11 lbs
Nicole: 12 lbs
Charlene: 5 lbs
Kimberly: 5.6 lbs
Joni: 4 lbs
Dan: 5 lbs (update this if it is more....this is what the last post I found said)
Amylou: 10 lbs
Cecilia: 2 lbs

And if I missed anyone.......please, share your loss for January. There are a lot of people working really hard, and that is soooo good. No matter how big or how small a loss is........it is a loss, and 1 + 1 equals 2. (brilliant, don't ya think.....)

And KIM.....you are losing....and it is wonderful. You have had a very steady trend this time around. Whooohoooo for you.
XOXO

Oh, believe me, I know. The irony of it all is not lost on me though.

how about putting it this way.... we lost

55lbs last month!!!!

way to go everyone!!

Nicole, not sure how far that is from me, I would have to look it up, I guess not close enough for me to be aware!

sweet......let's go for the same or more for February!!!!!

It does put in in perspective to look at how much you lost in only 4 weeks! Nicole- I'm down 10lbs since New Years. I'm definitely up for another 10 in Feb!!
