    OK... 24 for the day so far and I have the max of 29. So 5 points for supper. I am planning on making fresh veggie soup (went to farmers market). Wish me luck!
  • I hate when you work SO hard and dont cheat and only lose .5 pounds.......I guess it is better than gaining, but this is the only week that I didn't cheat at ALL! I guess my body is telling me to have a piece of cake once in a while?????? Anyway, girls, I am holding at 182.....can I get to the 170 by Labor Day? I sure hope so!!!! It is just tough to stick with the program when it doesn't go as fast as you like.....I will keep the faith though!

  • Hi!
    I really really miss you guys. I think that's part of the reason I'm doing so badly.

    I am finally going back to a meeting tonight after 4 weeks and I may not look at the scale. I'll have to re-register and that really makes me mad. Oh well, all my fault.

    My PartyLite Conference was incredible and I won $200. No minivan, but I'll take the cash. They gave us so many gifts!

    OK, you can always E-mail me at [email protected]. I can't check that at all during the day though - they have it totally blocked.

    *hugs* all around and b/c I can't be here.
  • HI! I was out sick yesterday and I can't write much today b/c I am so busy, but I lost another 2

    so I am now 206. Virgin territory! Will adjust my signature.

    hello to everyone, I'll catch up when I can!

    Tomorrow maybe?

    Ciao for now!
  • Hey All,

    Jen Don't sweat the small stuff...I need to follow my own advise

    Congrats to all the losers....I am down another 2.8, If I keep on track and don't stray TOO much I should be able to obtain that 15#

    Good Luck on a GREAT week for everyone!!!!

  • Hi all I know I haven't been postin gon the challenge but right now I am concentrating on maintaining. I gaine 1.4 my first week of lifetime. I am still within the 2 pounds so I am ok. I, like Jen, think I gain around ovulation. Many of you may not think about that but I noticed a major gain last month at that time (which I didn't use to have being on BCP) so I excpet my gain was partly caused by that. I am down on y home scale so I am pleased.

    I plan to keep going to WI each week as long as I am able to attend. DH is going so that helps, though he skipped last week b/c he was afraid to face the scale.

    I am doing pretty well on points although I normally have to make up points from the weekend during each week. See you later.

  • Brenda notified me that she would like to join the challenge. Her goal is 8.8 pounds!

    I know we can do this. I am certain I won't meet my goals, but I am going to try to come as close as I can. That is the point right!! Even if I lose 5 pounds, it is better than nothing!
  • Here are the totals so far. Let me know if there are any changes...

    I haven't found a good way to post this yet. When I post it as a text file, it all runs together. Hope this works.
