Yay, Blue Team. We rock! Or rather I should say "You rock" since I took a freebie because I was out of town. Way to go to our Biggest Loser, Catsgetnhealthy, and to our runners up babygrant, ricepapr, and Avezy44!

I'm back from a long weekend in Kansas City. We had a great time and ate lots of great food. I was a bit worried that my choices weren't good enough, but I hit new lows yesterday and today, so I guess I did fine. Skipping snacks and lots of walking apparently did the trick. Hopefully, I'll stay at this weight or lower for the official weigh-in day.

Soon2BFitChick: congratulations on the adoption!

NancyO: Big cheer for getting to the point where you Wii will call you overweight -- that was a big deal for me!

Bigmid: good job with 2 workouts!

babygrant: careful with those bears!

Triple digits plus lots of humidity equals......ugh! lol!! Needless to say, I have still been doing Zumba at the YMCA, but can no longer jog outside....neither morning or night.....it's hot at 5am and still at 11pm......can't wait for fall weather!!!!

I got to post a 2 pound loss -- not a lot for two weeks, I suppose, but with a vacation smack in the middle of it, I'm not going to complain. Also, it's my first number below the 190s, so yay for that!

abreezies: fellow hot Missourian! We're supposed to get a break tomorrow or Monday! I'm so looking forward to it.

It as the boyf's birthday. I tried so hard and was so good compared to how I would have normally been, but I've put on a pound this week and haven't smashed my mini goal as I wanted

BUT! That one pound would have been 5 pounds if I wasn't being good... so I guess there's some minor victory there. hmph.

Had almost a 2lb loss (1.6), which wasn't quite what I was hoping, but since I ate out last night and it's my TOM hopefully next week will show a loss too! Plus I'm on holidays now, which means more workout time.

I am posting a small gain. It's TOM and I ate gluten and now look like I'm about 9 months pregnant (seriously!!). But I've just confirmed my suspicions now that gluten is NOT my friend.

Okay moving everyone over to week 12
