I agree with keli, that looks like great progress to me!!! :bravo:

Thanks guys...but it's sooo hard when you're freaking huge. :( A lady called me a cow yesterday :( :( :(

My total for the month was 14 pounds.

With Buzzter's 14 lbs that takes us to 166.2 and I lost 1.2 at today's meeting so group total is 167.4!!!!

ETA: That 30lb mark keeps eluding me, but at least I was down this week!

WTG kim & buzz, glad to see both your losses!

Kim, WTG on going down, I know you've been struggling lately! You'll be at that 30lb mark sooner than you think :)

You had a fantastic loss, I'm terribly sorry that some unintelligent woman called you names. :hug:

I know what you mean. There are times when I've wished for more... but... well, it all adds up!

This journey isn't about other people anyway. It's about us.

I agree with Faerie, astigmatistic. That woman had no business calling you names. The fact that she did that speaks volumes about her, and says NOTHING about you. You are not what other people say you are.

Your losses have been great. You are doing a wonderful thing for yourself by being here and losing the weight. Celebrate your victories! Forget the nasty woman. (I know that can be hard but just try to forget about her...) :hug:

I count my weigh-in for Fridays, since my last WW weigh-in was on a Friday (4/18...I weighed myself on 4/25). I'll post then. Hopefully it will be down. It was down a little more on the 25th, so hopefully it'll be down a little more on the

It's fabulous that this group has lost the equivalent of a person...in just a month! Fantastic, ladies!!

So far for me:

4/8/08 (1st meeting & weigh-in): 205.8
4/18/08 (2nd weigh-in - center): 202.8...3 lb loss
4/25/08 (3rd weigh-in - self): 201.2...adj. up .4 to match WW scale, so prob. 201.6... 1.2 lb loss (4.2 total!)
5/2/08 (4th weigh-in - self): ?? Let's hope it's down, even just a little :) .

I'm so sorry she was so cruel! I wish people just would not be like that. I had a couple teenage kids shout "hey, PIGGAY!!" (piggy) at me one time at a gas station, when I was filling the tires. It hurt like heck.

i would like to join in your weigh in group. i do go to meetings though. i started at the begining of april and weighed in last night for the fourth time. i'm down 9.2lbs for the month of april.:carrot:

Of course you can Maass! I go to meetings, too :) I just post my losses/gains here as well! :) What a great month you've had!

faerie - thanks so much!:)

i kinda felt a let down last night though. last week at my meeting i asked for an extra tracker and my husband decided to join me in my struggles. he gets 44 points a day and lost 10.3 lbs this past week. i said "wow honey great job!" as i thought to myself how unfair that you almost get twice as much food as me and you have lost more in one week than i have all month:( that really made me jealous. and i don't like that i feel that way, because i really am proud of him too!:?: but on the up side, i have been at this for 4 weeks and show a loss each time.

Maass...9.2 lbs in April is GREAT!!

Don't feel bad. Most guys just seem to lose weight more quickly, while we ladies hobble along. I love the commercial for that diet supplement...with the cartoon/stick lady complaining about how quickly her husband lost weight while not trying as hard as she does.

My dh & I kind of started together. Dh refuses to follow using his points, but at least he was making good food choices, and exercising well. Now he is still exercising, but is trying to fast... He lost about 12 lbs the first 10 days, and has stalled. But FAR be it for me to try and tell him it's because he's not eating!! He should get, I think, about 41 points, where I've estimated about 26 or 27 for myself. I agree that it doesn't feel fair. But I'll be interested in seeing what happens for him once he does give WW a fair shake...IF he tries.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. :) I tried to brush it off, as DH was with me, and he's the one who overheard the woman, and he didn't want to tell me..I made him. I didn't want him to know it hurt.

Hey, I was just dropping in to add my 1.2 to the total, but I don't really know what happened to it... I guess it's time for a May WI thread now. We did a great job everyone! :carrot:
