Well, if you are me a weigh-in this week is an exercise in futility. Still, Friday is my normal weigh-in day and I don't intend to let this week pass without taking stock.

I am not going to change my ticker this week to reflect my "gain", but I would like to put an unofficial note to myself somewhere to mark where I am this week and to compare it where I will be next week. So this week I am up 4 lbs. By next Friday I hope to be where I was before the holiday got the better of me.

edited to say that the workouts have saved me from even further ruin

I don't know how it happened - but I'm down 3 pounds....WTF? But I'll take it. I guess all that chocolate confused my body into thinking it was all rice cakes? Tempting to continue in the same vein...my book "Lose weight by eating lots of chocolate" will be coming out soon...

Wow, Gina, that's awesome!!! I know you've been working out hard so it's awesome to see that it paid off all in one "lump sum"!

My ticker isn't accurate either, but as I said before, *cough* technical error *cough*. (I'm actually up 2 lbs from what it says.) I will get those 2 lbs back off, though!

WTG chick!



Wish my body had decided to count rice cakes for chocolate!


Hey anyone know what happened to Looking4WayOut? She was doing a great job of keeping our threads ordered and keeping track of our lbs. lost.

Emma...come back! We suck at keeping track of ourselves....lemme go see if I can tally what we have lost...

56.5 pounds lost so far......even counting the technical errors above...

Not bad considering holidays are almost behind us...Jillian's Girls rock!

So far so good.... I made it to the gym for a 3.5 mile run yesterday and mostly my foods were OP. I did eat more than the allowed limit of 2 choc. covered cookies....but I'm pleading my story of being attacked by them late in the night!!! GINA was there and she's my witness!!!! Why can't I just have 1 and thats it? Todays a new day though....and there's no cookies eyeing me.

Ok, jumped on the scales this morning and pulled out the tape measure too. I've lost 2 kg's, after it bumped up again from christmas, and 2 cm off my hips, 1 cm off my waist, and gained 4 cm on my chest... so weird. I figure they are a little swollen with hormones, it usually happens every couple of months, they'll deflate in a few days, *sigh*. But I'm really happy that its coming off again.

It's true!!

Well - I'm prolly tempting fate but I weighed in again and I lost another 2 pounds...counting KathyHegg's 2 kg's (I'm calling it 4.5 pounds) We are at a total of 73 pounds lost so far....
