Wow Juliemarie that is exciting!!! Congrats! You're stats are awesome we started out about the same.....but you have me beat!

Thanks beanie-BTW-where are your stats at?

Juliemarie- I have been in ticker denial!! LOL I have so far refused to put the pds back on my ticker....lol but I started at 311 and currently I am 270 so I still have 5 lbs to lose to get to my lowest LAWL weight. ARGGGG

Well-you can do it! -a little momentum goes a long way . . . . this challenge has been great-I actually like the shakes for dinner . . . .

Today should be interesting-we have a lunch seminar where they serve pizza (pizzicato! for any portlanders who know how amazing their pepperoni is) and I brought my WW pizza in. The question is-do I nuke it and take it with me to the seminar and have some of the yummy spinach/bluecheese/walnut/apple salad they usually have, or wait until after. I usually eat lunch before noon-so waiting til 1pm will be difficult . . . .Also-everybody will ask what I'm doing . . .I dunno.

I say bring your own pizza. Who cares what anyone else thinks? Keeping to your schedule keeps you POP!!!

I am on the last cycle of shakes, 3 days into them. I will be done with the challenge next week.

ok, well everyones finishing up and im just starting, todays my first day...am i going to be posting here all by myself! someone else gotta be here with me, any one else just starting, or a little ways in...

aggie, i am with ya. My numbers are almost exact, Friday is the beginning of week 4 for me, and man has it been slooooow. My counselor (5th in a many visits) looked over my book very carefully and suggested I lay off the oatmeal. I was devouring 2 starches with a jumbo bowl of the stuff and no protein in sight. So we'll see how that helps. But I know how ya feel when so many posters are down 30# or already on stabilization. So off we go, I'd like to down 15 by Mem Day weekend, and 30 by 4th of July. Big goals! Mother in law visits this weekend, diet will be a secret or she may shove me head first into the land of fat and sugar.

thanks sweetie,...good to know were in this together...

im wondering how are people doing on the challenge...is it a 2lbs per week loss, more or less...im not exactly sure what to hope for...i know its not magic...and 2lbs per week would me more than i would be happy with...i would be extatic with reaching 165 by the end of the 6weeks...any insight?

what happened to Angelica??

Aggie - Girl I'm with you - I'm starting my second round of TO today!! So I've only been on for one round of TO,Shakes,OP ------Your only like 2 weeks behind me - .......I'm with you girl all the way!!!

Yes, I know alot of people haven't been weighing during the challenge - are there any weigher's out there?

Well girls - I just got back from my morning 1.2 mile walk and I'm really dreading the TO - I had two eggs and a piece of veggie sausage before I left and im already feeling sick,hungry and weak - argh - I just don't do well on this TO stuff - I wonder should I try to have a bar - or maybe just go ahead and eat lunch befor my 11:45 trainer workout? any suggestions??

Heather - I definately think you need to eat something before your work out if you are already feeling week and sick to go work out might make you pass out or something!! I probably would eat some protien!

Beanie

Thanks Beanie - Yes, I have to - I can feel myself shaking - I don't know that I will be able to follow through with this TO girls - It doesn't make me feel well at all

Heather - have you tried the unlimited take off? All the protien and green veggies?
