Good morning! Hope everyone had a great weekend. I had a great day on Saturday, but then somehow -- and I swear I don't know how this happened -- a pint of Ben and Jerry's frozen yogurt wound up in my freezer. How strange. Despite that, I am down 1.5 pounds, which is a huge relief. It's been so long since the scale moved that I actually changed the batteries to make sure it still worked ok. I am hoping to hear back from the MD today to see if it's ok to start running and weight training again. I just bought a new bathing suit for my spring trip and the thought of wearing it in public is making me want to spend some quality time on the treadmill.

This has been a great first week -- thanks to all of you for the terrific motivation and encouragement!

wtg Veerie on the weight loss! Keep up the good work.

lizz, that is too bad about no weight loss. Hang in there, and you have a great attitude to start this week!

Well, ladies it is Monday and a great day to start strong! I can't believe how well some people did last week, and i'm sure we are going to have weight loss for about everyone! Keep up the good work all!

Well, I surprised myself when I got on the scale this morning and I was down 2 lbs! I am finally 155 lbs! I really thought I wouldn't from this past weekend (not very good eating and basically no excercise), but I guess the beginning of the week paid off!

So, this Monday is starting off good so far. I had a good breakfast (1 point) and I'm working on my first glass of water. I'm also sipping at my coffee.
