Mish - I'm super jealous that you're a dog trainer...I absolutely and utterly adore dogs. Some days I wish I could be in a room full of puppies or hug a great dane!

I'm still at 182 this morning, although towards the lower end of 182 so I'm really hoping a weekends worth of exercising will push it down to 181. Slow and steady wins the race!

lol its a cool job! but like anything can be stressful! What im pleased about is im obvisley quitefit under the flAB , & i dont seem to be suffering with any excess skin, despite the fastish loss

Mish!! Way to go girl! 179 woot woot!!

Wow you are really dedicated, I don't know if I could fast that much...maybe once a week. I get super crabby and light headed if I don't eat often enough. Although if I eat a decent meal the day before I could probably handle it. Maybe I will give it a try and see what happens...Tuesday might be a good day as I don't have work that day and will probably eat more than usual on Monday. I will let you know what I do!

179.8 today, up .2 from yesterday.

182.6 today!! I am fully expecting to bounce though because I had a few drinks last night and so far drinking doesn't come without it's penalties. Oh well off to play tennis

181 lbs today! 2 lbs to go and I'm out of the 180s and not obese. Can't wait!

Hi Ladies! I hit the 189 mark today - finally!- and would love to join you all. You are all so close to the 170s though, I think I'll be here all by myself shortly.

You guys are great motivation!

RMC, welcome to the 180's!! Hope your stay is short!

Riestrella, AWESOME!! Super close! I am the same height as you, and at 181.8 I was no longer obese, wonder if there is a slight variation in the calculators!! Maybe you are already no longer obese!! Lol, its the best feeling ever!!

Supergirl, alcohol will totally mess with you! Drink lots of water and wash it out! You wil be down in no time!

179.6. Scale just hasnt budged in 3 days, and I am not comfortable enough to move out of here at that weight. I could eat one bad thing and go back over 180 so I am stuck here until there is a bigger dip that is sustained for a couple days.

Hey everyone! I weighed in at 179.2 lbs this morning. Hoping it'll hold until my other weigh-in Thursday.

rmc9142, welcome to the 180s. May your stay in this decade be short.

jaimie1980, congrats on making it into the 170s. I feel the same way. I think I'll wait a few days to see if I can make it to 178-177 before leaving the thread.

oooh congrats Petite and jaimie! I'm so happy for you (I'm claiming it on your behalf lol)

Thanks for the welcome! Congrats to all of you on your losses - very inspirational!

I was down to 187.5 this morning, so hopefully this decade will whiz by. (Not counting on it though; I'm ready for some hard work!)

keep going girlies, Im sticking at 180 dead on........ MOVE damm u!!!! Oh well maybe next week!

Dang, back to 180.2. Really hating the scale this week. Why does it have to be so negative!?

CONGRATS Petite on 179.2! I am sure it will stick! Hopefully I can get over to those 170's for good next week with you!!

petitefleur - Congrats!! Well done you! Bet seeing that 7 felt amazing!!

I'm 181.2 this morning, sooo close to that glorious 180 and then hopefully I'll smash through at get that 179!!

Thanks Riestrella! You'll make it too. You're super close.

It does feel good especially since a few days ago, I was really wondering if I would meet any of the goals I had set for my summer challenges. Both are a little past the halfway point, and I want to be at 168 by the second week of August.

Drat! I'm back up to 188.6 - I wouldn't mind, except I was soooo good about what I ate yesterday. I didn't celebrate the 4th with any booze. And I went on an 8 mile bike ride. Oh well, I knew this wasn't going to be easy!

petitefleur, congrats on being on track to make your goals!

Riestrella, Mishflynn and jaimie1980 - so close to moving on! You guys give a girl hope!

Have a great day everyone!
