Jodi & Fellow Challengers-

I'm down 8 of my 12 pounds so far!! Like I said, I was having the SBD "beginners luck." I imagine that's a lot of water weight. The real work is starting now!

Oops... Don't think I'm going to make it. Down only one of my 8 for the month. Back on Phase 1 right now, so hopefully I can get most of the way by the end of the month. I think 8 might have been too much for one month since I'm only trying for 15 to 20 more total. We'll see what happens!

I Am Down 2.5 Of Six! Better Get A Move On!!!!!!!!

I need a kick in the butt. I don't think I am going to make my goal. But I will try.

I don't think I will make it I am only down 1 of my 8. I need some advice the only time I went off the plan was Easter and that was only a bit of stuffing and 3 small chocolates, I have a brisk walk every night for 30 minutes (the last 15 minutes uphill)

Just 2.5 for me so far. I have been working hard as I can but it is slow going as usual. Any time my weight goes down and not up it is an accomplishment, though.

I'm down 2 of 5. Considering I haven't seen the scale move since phase 1 over a month ago, I'm happy. Does anyone have any good advice for how not to gain weight when you go out of town for a week, eating out every meal and being poor on top of it? If I could afford it, there are all sort of great restaurants in Sioux Falls, but I'm on a McDonald's dollar menu budget.

South Dakota chick...not sure where you are going but I would think that Wendy's would be a good choice you can get chilli and a salad. Subway for an Atkins wrap and you any truck stop resturant would have if nothing else eggs you could get a veggie omlet. I would think they would be reasonably priced.

I've lost the five - with the help of Liquid Plumber and Rotot Rooter! I am just hoping it stays gone for the rest of the month.

great job ruth!! i'll keep my fingers crossed for you. how has hershey been doing? i see you put the little girl in for 2.

I've had a better month than I thought I would. My goal is to lose 10 this month. I was hesitant at first because last month wasn't great but I'm feeling pretty encouraged.

You all sound like you are doing great. I love the encouragement I here. The great ideas and the recipes. yum

This morning the scale said 216 so I am down 3 of the 9 so far. I don't think I'll quite make it, but I am still gonna try!

Hey Chicks!!!! I'm down 3 of my 5 pound goal!!!!! Keep up the great progress everybody!!!!!!
Traci

I'm down 4, so I'm halfway there! It's a struggle though!
