Thanks for the welcome, luvcats! Way to go making it halfway with no pauses!

I ate really lightly for most of the day, and after a trip to the gym for elliptical and weights I got to treat myself to a veritable feast: avocado, edamame, hummus, sweet potato, a cup of soup, AND a banana almond chocolate soy milk smoothie. I know it's better to have smaller meals more often or front load the day's calories, but it was SO good :-)

Wow, everyone's a chattin here lately....sorry I haven't been on as much...

Laura78-doing good, checking in is really good too, nice job!!

vabs-awww..... startin over huh? well, I can see how it messes up your plan, I'm sure many of us will be with you on a new 21 soon....do you feel like you made progress at least?

luvcats-good job on the exercise...I can agree w ya, good idea for vabs to at least give credit for the change date.....

synchrojo-hello, welcome!! Good luck!

Today was not a lot of exercise, I do that sometimes...lucky I didn't overdo my goals...it's nice to succeed at something once in a while. Also, down one to 261!! Was going to go to the gym tomorrow (today) but it's going to be a mighty snowstorm, so I'm going to try and go out w the kids to play. I don't love cold, my snow pants didn't fit so I might not last long....argh . Oh, I did blow up my yoga ball the other day, it amuses me....I like to bounce around on it sorta like those hopper balls...lol I'll check back in later, good luck and to all!!

NightAngel - You're doing amazing and congrats on the loss. We are getting a snowstorm today too - yikes!

Synchrojo: Good job! Are you a synchronized swimmer?

Luvcats: You're killing it!

Today was weigh-in day and I lost 2.4 lbs

Tomorrow will be rough as I'm going to a family Valentine's Day breakfast with lots of goodies and yummy treats. It will be the first true "test" for me. I don't want to break my streak now!

Hmmmm, I only have one week to add a challenge......I'll have to think on it.

I used to be... From about 8 to 16 years old. Then I turned out to be a better musician than athlete, and I couldn't juggle all day Saturday competitions with all day Saturday rehearsals. Unfortunately I'm forever cursed with a synchro body- do a google image search, you'll see girls with fairly thin torsos and enormous thighs and upper arms.

Congrats on the big weight loss! Good for you!

I was going to be so good until my roommate ordered a pizza. Luckily it's pizza hut, which I don't actually really like. But I still ate a slice and a half. Still under my goal!

So last night was insanely rough! All the kids snacks were calling out to me from the kitchen and I was feeling HUNGRY! BUT, I didn't want to break my streak, so this challenge kept me going

My daughter does it competitively now (she's only 7) and has her first major competition coming up. What's funny is that it seems I am cursed with synchro body too (I've never done it, just my genes are to have a small upper body with big thighs), LOL, so my daughter is doomed

Ha ha sycrojo pizza hut would kill me. That's my favorite. Ham & Pineapple pan pizza. Yum!!

WT resist Laura! One more day/week knocked out for Feb.
