HI ALL!

I had my first weigh in for this goal last Thursday night and I lost 2.5 pounds!! My goal is to lose 5 lbs by Valentines Day so I'm well on my way! WooHoo!

Kathy -welcome and good luck with your goal!

Elisa - congrats on the 2 lbs lost!

Good to hear from all the familiar and new losers! As you may remember, I was on quite a roll for a short time but started to lose it in October, then completely lost it after that. (no, not weight, control!) I have gained back 5 pounds . Hopefully, I will be able to get back on track here. I have my birthday, VD and several trips coming up so.... HERE GOES!

1) Get back to drinking water
2) Cut non-water beverages
3) Try to get back to point range
4) Exercise at least twice a week

Weight goal: 10 lbs, 4 weeks
--------Goal--------Actual-----Goal Met
1/15----155----------155---------1/15 (look, I'm doin it!)
1/22----151----------153--------- (hoping for a big H2O loss here)
1/29----149
2/5-----147
2/12----145

Ok, not so realistic, but maybe possible. I usually do quite well when just "starting up".

Keep up the good work all!

BAILEY! WELCOME BACK!

OK, second weigh in was last night and I lost 1 1/4. Technically I think it was 1.2 so we'll go with that (for some reason she rounds). I'm so glad to have a loss - I spent 4 days out of town - so I'm quite pleased with myself.

Valentines day goal - Lose 5 pounds
1st week - lost 2.5
week 2 - lost 1.2
** 3.7 down ** 1.3 to go ** 4 weeks to go**

I can do it!

YEAY RABBIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Thought I'd double-check on my Valentine's Day Plans. Here they are again:

1. To have licked the 'candy bowl' habit at work, once and for all
(Okay, I wouldn't say 'once and for all', but I've made remarkable strides here. I used to go on 'candy binges' at work. We're talking 400-600 calories of candy over the course of the day. I've had lesser amounts of candy a few times -- maybe 100 calories worth -- and one smaller binge of about 300-400 calories. So it's definitely a lot better.)

2. Exercise 3x a week, for at least half an hour
(Er, okay, I've done nothing on this. But I ordered exercise clothes!)

3. Cook dinner at least once a week
(I've done pretty good with this. I've eaten out at restaurants a lot, but then I've done a lot of business travel.)

4. Lose 10 pounds (about 1.5 pound/week - just starting out again)
(This is on track, I think. 6.5 pounds down in the first three weeks. Always seems to come off quicker when you just start up.)

Bailey - thanks!

Scuttle - congrats on your great loss so far!! 6.5 is alot. That would be tougher eating out so much. good luck on the exercise!

Well, here we are, another week gone, and my scale is at my old apartment. It's supposed to snow again today, so I probably won't get it tonight, guess I'll weigh in next week, or something. I guess it's kind of a good thing that I'm not dying to weigh myself everyday!!

Congrats to everyone on your losses!! I hope to be joining you as soon as I get my scale!!

WTG Scuttle!!!

LBH good luck with the scale

Not what I had hoped, but no tears here. I lost 2 lbs this week! Actually, being one that weighs every day, I think that number is inflated - I seem to have followed program from thursday to Monday and gained .5 lb (ok, so I didn't follow program, but I was within points-- see food log). However, When I woke up today I was down 2.5 from yesterday!

Here's to only getting better.

Bailey - congrats on the loss!!
