Congrats to all the losing challengers! Great work
I'm up a little over a pound this morning. I sabotage myself when I get close to a goal -- been doing it for a couple weeks now but it finally caught up with me. S'ok though... I know what to do to get back on track this week
How'd your saturday WI go tonia, gina and kara? I'm to the point now.. that I just feel superior to my scale. I'll buy a great piece of clothing that makes me feel hot and just laugh at the numbers. It's a really great feeling.
Location: I live in far west Texas - and I love that good ol' southern hospitality and good ol' southern food!

I've only lost 5 pounds for the challenge. I'm up 1.5 this week - I'm still trying to figure out why. Maybe not enough weighing and measuring food! Too many social engagements where I just tried to estimate.
Thanks for asking, valpal! I am FINALLY - just tonight - starting to feel normal. I had to go to a conference this weekend - a 10-hour round trip drive. I had pretty much gave up as of Friday - feeling so bad for so long was really taking a tole on me. I only had a few hours of weakness, though, until I got my grove back.
As for my Easter goal...I don't know. I didn't lose any weight this week and still have five to go....I think. My scale is weird so that is my best guess. I will know more tomorrow - I am going to the gym and will use their scale.
I am impressed at everyones weight loss so far, though....17 pounds?! Wow!!!
I am SOOOOOO impressed with all the losses!! You all are doing SO awesome!!
I'm so sorry I haven't been able to post here in such a long time. I have had one wave of company after another for the last month and a half, and now have another family living with us. It has been a little difficult to stay on plan cooking for others, but I have managed to lose a few pounds, though not what I had wanted to by this point. However, that doesn't get me down by any means...I just have to stay focused and keep on trying. I literally stayed the same for quite a few weeks after Christmas, which is fine for awhile, but I'm ready to get on a stricter regimen so I can see the scales go down!! On the positive side, I have been able to change my avatar to the 80-lbs-lost chickie!!! I thought I would never see that milestone with the way the last few weeks have gone, but there it is!!! LOL!
I hope y'all keep up the GREAT success you have had so far!! Wow...you just know how to do it! I'm so inspired by this group. Keep on keeping on!!!! You are truly being an inspiration more than you know!
Only 12 more days left until Easter! Focus, focus, focus!!!! We can do it!!
Ritzy, I must tell you, I never, ever open this thread. But I saw, as I was scrolling down that you posted here. Thanks for the update. I was actually wondering about you. I am so pleased that you have maintained through all the stress and company that you have had. I KNOW how difficult that can be and you my dear should be commended. WAY TO GO!!! I also noticed that little 80lb avatar. I can't believe how far you have come, I mean I CAN, but you know what I mean. 80 lbs? EIGHTY POUNDS!!!! How awesome is that? Wait, I see it's actually 81.6. Do you realize there is 81.6 lbs less of you??!?!?!?! What an inspiration YOU are.
I hope to "see" you around. And first and foremost, I hope that you remain well.
Way to go Ritzy! What an inspiration you are!! 81.6 lbs is AMAZING!
I am down another 1.5 lbs so only 1.5 lbs to reach my easter goal! I'm really excited about the loss this week because I ate out 3 times this week and even though I planned and did well when I ate out I was still afraid I would gain.
As of yesterday I made my goal of 5 lbs, so the more I lose after this the better! I am so inspired by everyone who takes these challenges! I thank you all!!!
