Here we are. The official start of our race to 5lbs. I'll start with my weight.

114lbs.

Yes, that's up from my ticker...I know. I refuse to move the numbers in my ticker UP so I'll just have to get back to 113 really quick.

On your marks, get set.....GO!

Not going to be able to join the race until Monday morning. i will be there, though.

Good morning!

My official start is 139.8...so 5 pounds would put me at 134.8!

Good luck guys!

157 lbs

I am up 3 pounds from last week, largely due to poor eating habits, but I suspect TOM is preparing to visit as well. Is it fair to record my starting weight at 157 when it might largely have to do with TOM? Oh well, I guess so. Five pounds will still take me lower then what I was before this 3 pound gain today. I will change my ticker tomorrow. Gotta go!

BRING IT ON!!! Today's weight = 139lbs.....................

CuppaJoe

I'll join in the race tomorrow morning, I didn't weigh myself today... But I'm pretty sure I am at 148... I want to be down to 143 I haven't seen that number in eons!!! Seriously!!

I'm in! I was at 138.0 this morning. I suspect that some of that is water retention, but that's what the scale said so that's what I'm going with. 133.0 would be heavenly. That's the exact amount I weighed on the day I got pregnant with my (now 2 yr old) daughter, so reaching it again will be a milestone.

I'm in too. Weight is up from 138 last week - bad week, I guess.

I'm 141.4, so goal is 136.4. Interesting that many of us are right around the same weight right now (140-ish or so).

Good luck all!

I posted this over the other thread... So, I'll re-post it over here:

Well, I weighed in this morning at 154! So, my 5 pounds will finally put me in the 140s! 149, here I come!

PS~Clykk, We've got the same starting weight Ready to race to 149?

Azure We WERE at the same starting weight, but I weighed in 3 pounds heavier this morning!!! I feel like I have all the symptoms of TOM approaching, feel bloated, bumping into things right and left, irritable, quiet...BUT I looked back on my thread and see it has only been 2 weeks since TOM visited last, so I guess I can't blame this on TOM. I have been eating more crap then usual and some of that being chips, so I suppose I have created my own bloating process. Time will tell. I usually w/i on Monday mornings, so I am giving myself this one more day to see if the scale will make a dip before I change my ticker back!

A bit late, but i made it. 152 lbs and TOM coming in 2 days.

Mini goal: 149

I w/i this morning which is my usual day of the week to w/i and I am back to 154 lbs. Phew!!!! So...to be fair, I am starting this challenge at 154 lbs, instead of the 157 I registered on the scale yesterday. I am amazed at how the scale can fluctuate!!!

So, Azure, THE RACE IS ON!!

I am scheduled to eat only fruit today. My eating program has an All-Fruit Day twice a month. This challenge should help me stick to it today!

Same as my ticker.....

115.5....here we go!

Oops. I posted in the other thread, too!

Sunday's starting weight was 146.6. 5 pounds will put me at 141.5
