Ellis, that's fantastic! Great going!

Squeak, it's definitely the period. Wait till it's over and gone I say!

Mauvais, maintaining is very good too - and I reckon the CHinese had lots of sodium, so you may show more of a loss next week -

And Ginya, amazing! I have never lost that much in a week!

Lidian

You are doing so well! Way to go sweetie! What plan are you following... I need some inspiration.

Yeah Ellis and all the other losers.

I am up to 195 and feeling like I look 1*10^6 lbs. The mirrors at the gym today. ARGH!

Miss Chris

Aghhh Chris! Keep up your gymwork and I'm sure you will get back down in no time! I don't suppose the gym would be impressed if you brought in some paint to cover those mirrors

Thank you girls.

Sojo, I started the South Beach diet almost 3 weeks ago. It's GREAT! It really cuts back on the bad carbs. And I'm eating more vegetables than I used to. I only seem to have cravings once a week. Which was yesterday. I couldn't stop putting food in my mouth (although I DID stick to the allowed foods... until I shoved 8 sugar cookies down my gullet late last night).
That pound has come back on... no surprise.
I've been really lax with my water. I know when I feel hungry I'm just dehydrated.

Suzanne posted a link yesterday re: the diet.

And there's a lot of info about it on the Prevention magazine site. Plus a forum.

Do well today, girls!!
