Well I totally lost it on Thurs. & basically have been off the wagon since then. Today scale was up 2 lbs. This morning I was so discouraged, I cried. I just can't seem to find my momentum. But I refuse to give up, so I'm back on track. At least I'm exercising. Hopefully next week I'll be able to say I lost the 2 lbs I gained.

Congtats to everyone! Keep up the great efforts!

It's okay Ruth, my signature lied for a week as well. Since falling off the wagon, I have put back on 5 pounds, but my friend and I joined a gym together today and we've vowed to make each other go 3 times a week. I had one of those Atkins wraps from Subway after I worked out. They're kind of small, but good. I supplemented it with a bag of baked chips. I know..bad, but I had to eat something else. I would get that and a salad, but that costs too much!

Two weeks complete on Phase 1. I lost a total of 7 pounds and no cheating.
Yesterday I started phase 2 and added Fiber One cereal at breakfast and today I had an apple after lunch. Hope I am still the same weight tomorrow.

Hi Everyone! A little late in posting, but alas I am here! I lost two pounds this week! Yippee, Horray! I don't have much time to post, but thought I would drop in to say hi! I am working at the flower shop this week and you can just imagine what that is like the week of Valentine's Day! My back is killing me from being on my feet all day. Tomorrow we get a delivery of 700 roses!!! My poor punched fingers.....ouch!!! Talk to you all just as soon as possible! Hope you all get a nice Valentine's Day present from your SO's.

!@#$&* !@#&*!!!!!!

Whew...glad I got that out of my system!!!!

Okay, so it is 9:30 in the evening, I step on my scales and it says 262.8!!!!!! Keep in mind, I had just showed my husband how I could pull my jeans down without unsnapping or unzipping them!! So, that is in accomplishment in itself

I suck at adding carbs back in!!!!! I skimmed a few posts and noticed several are re-committing to Phase 1...well, count me in!!! Tomorrow is DH's bday and I know we will go out to dinner to celebrate, but in the morning while small child is at his class, I will go to the grocery store and get my food to get back to it on Wednesday.

I could use the excuse that I normally weigh first thing in the morning, but I have decided ....NO MORE EXCUSES!!!!!!!

A big round of applause for everyone who lost this week!!!!

See you ladies soon!!!! Tough week for me with Valentines parties coming up!!! I have hearts to cut out, cards to address, cookies to bake!!!! I will see you soon!!!

Oh, the field trip ...we went downtown and saw a musical production of Cinderella...yeah, all the little boys just loved it! The spring trip will be to the zoo, so all is not lost! I think I passed out during part of it! A little on the boring side, I am sure the Vagina Monologues would have held mine and a bunch of second graders attention!

Gotta Run!

Have a great week!

Hi Sil,

Couldn't have said it better myself. I have already passed '50' actually getting pretty darn close to 60 When my scale hit 150 lbs I finally decided enough was enough. I have been on SB since mid November and have lost 10 lbs. I would love to get to 135 and have the same dilussions as you to get way down to 130 however just being able to zip my pants again was a great rush!! I haven't weighed myself yet this week...usually do that on Tuesday morning after tennis. Think I'm in one of those "stalled" states and hope I the scale smiles at me tomorrow.

Rose~~You must be young if you are playing tennis each week. Thanks for giving me some hope that there IS life after 50

I just finished phase one and lost 9 pounds. I am thrilled! I have not added anything new to my foods yet. I am still trying to figure out what I have missed most...and I realized I have not really missed anything.

Wow- very impressive postings and great attitude all around!!

I'm down another 2 pounds this week. HOORAY! Slowly but surely wins the race, right?! And I'm down a full clothing size, so that's inspriation, too!!
