Wow, I was depressed to see 145.5 this morning, because I KNEW someone was going to win, and now my goal weight is no longer in the 130s. I'm a freaking seesaw, up and down 2 pounds every day. I'm starting to get over it, thank goodness, but wow, earlier I was NOT. I almost went back to bed *after* already starting my workout. Sigh.
Congrats MotherMavis on your quick 5 pound whoosh..lol. Awesome job!!!
Mrs. Wolf...being up 1.8 starting off this challenge may put you ahead of the game if it all goes away by tomorrow morning, since it's probably just fluids. Think positive!!!
BarbPA...looks like you're going to have to get up alittle earlier than mothermavis if you want to start the next challenge. lol. Congrats on also hitting your goal of 5 pounds so quickly!!! Way to go!!!
I'm just hoping to lose 5 pounds by the end of the month. Of course, more is always welcome...lol. I just want to fit back into my "skinny" clothes. I had thrown out all of my baggy shirts and only had clingy ones left...now i'm digging around for sportsjackets to wear over my blouses. yi-yi-yi.
Juliej...thank goodness you didn't go back to bed before finishing your excersize. It is so hard to see the same two numbers back and forth, back and forth...i know.. been there. But it gets better. just have to stick with it and you have done an awesome job of losing 53 pounds so far. You can do it. Just keep the faith!!

Way to go Mothermavis!!! I was right there with you this morning! Hit my 5 pound mark from #39! You are just up earlier. I'll get the next one.
I missed this when I first posted...a big to you Barb! You ladies are all incredible! How impressive to see so many ladies doing well during a time when most people are gaining more and more weight!! Let's all keep up the good work!
Yay for Mavis and Barb! Boo on me! I ate salty food yesterday, have killer PMS and my weight is up a bit. BUT... I bought a pair of size 6 jeans today. Talk about CRAZY vanity sizing How could I not buy those?
Bejeweled: hahaha.. get low get low get low! You are sooooooooo dang close to onderland! i want you to WIn this challenge and get therrrr!
ps.. i went to write your real name on this post and realized I have no clue what it is! i will just call you beyonce. lol
I had a fun little moment tonight at the gym. I was just getting started on the elliptical and one of the guys for the late evening gym crowd who I don't know, but see often tapped me on the shoulder and said, "You're looking good"! That was a WOW moment for me.
Yay again for good looking Barb! Compliments rock so much.
Where the **** are Jamie and Photo? Have I missed their posts? I was away for a few days on the last one, so maybe it's my bad. Don't they know they're an integral part of the 5# challenges? Well?
Thanks Everybody and congrats BarbPA too, both on the 5# and the awesome gym moment!!
My body did not hold on to the 148 though, back up .6 today. I think it was the soup (homemade Jambalaya style) from last night. Rings are snug, so...likely too much sodium but all was OP so if I drink my water today, should get rid of the extra salt plus a few tenths.
JullieJ, I am right there with you, I have been back and forth between the high 140's and the low 150's for months!! I went looking and the last time my goal weight was this good, I think, was way way back on challenge #31.
Let's get out of these decades. Let's both get a goal in the 130's for next round!!
