Congratulations on your weight loss, you are now skinnier than me I will be with you every step of the way, I want to lose that last five that was my goal for the year. Started out at 157, wanted to reach 135 but, those last 5 pounds do not want to come off.

Hello ladies .... well I was in the red team , always quiet . But like I am getting better whit my english ,I am trying to chat a little more.

So my last WI was 146.6 on friday but them I WI on monday and was 150.2 , I can't belive what a two days off can do ,I did well yesterday and today I am at 149.2 so going in the right dirrecion.

My goal for december was 143 , but like I am breastfeeding my 3 months baby is hard to lose the weight because you can not go to low whit your calories in order to keep your milk suplied . So I will just love to be on 145's by new years.

I am doing WW , and I was eating 31 points so this week I am trying 29 to see what happen.

See you around .......

Hello ladies. My goal by New Year's is to be in the 200s so I'm looking to lose 10lbs in the next two and a half weeks. I've been down and out with swine flu this past week, but I'm ready to get going again. Thanks for keeping me accountable!

You're welcome. I think it is a good idea to go ahead and post your weight in case you forget. I'm not sure when Angela (CapeBrentonChick) plans to start gathering the data, so when you edit your original post you might want to send her a pm, just in case she has already pulled in your info.
