    Today is going to be a great day! I received good news from the chiropractor! Also, on My way home from the chiropractor I found an elliptical and a treadmill on the side of the road for sale . I was able to get both of them for $90! They are in excellent shape and they are both heavy hydraulic systems. The treadmill simulates uphill and downhill. I'm feeling 75% better than I did when I started this diet less than a week ago! My pain has subsided greatly! I was taking three Vicodin's a day @750 mg and now I'm taking a half of a pill , twice a day. If somebody had told me a week ago that I would be feeling this way today, I would've told them that they were nuts. I hope everybody else gets the opportunity to experience what I'm feeling! Stay committed! Always!

    Congratulations everybody who has lost! It's so lovely to read your messages. I am down 1.6 lbs from the start of this challenge although, I have been hopping on the scales too much. My weight has fluctuated a lot over this last week. Glad that today showed a loss. Keep going everyone xx

    After 1 week, I'm down from 167 to 164 (I'm guessing some initial water weight loss). My goal is 155 by Halloween. I'm on track! Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Wow! Congrats to all of you with fantastic first weeks!

    My week was decent, I'm down 1.4 lbs from last week. :) First time I'm below 150 in a decade. And back into size 8 jeans! I'm about midway through to my ultimate goal, now, and I find my patience waning a bit, but that is why I love challenges like this, it helps a lot. Thank you all for posting, it keeps me motivated!

    CW: 149.6
    HGW: 135

    I count today as a complete win. Even after a night I thought would completely derail me I've lost 4 pounds! I'm back on track and pushing through. Life is going to pass by regardless of one nights poor eating. Stay strong guys we got this in the bag. To all who joined this week .. It's never too late to join all are welcome. Happy Saturday. Here's to a healthy strong active life!

    Ugh so frustrated. I weigh the same I did last Sunday. I just quit taking estradiol so maybe that has something to do with it. Down 2 pounds, 10 to go.

    Weigh in today was a bit frustrating--gained 2.4 pounds. Big fluctuation for me, but oh well! Today is a new day and I know I'll be back on track tomorrow. Have a great day everyone! :)

    But is it bad that I'm already looking forward to dinner? LOL

    Are you drinking water? Do need something to fill you up at breakfast to keep you full until lunch time?

    Just realized you replied to me, sorry about that John. It wasn't that I wasn't drinking enough water, I was just looking forward to my meal on that day (homemade version of the Strawberry Poppyseed Salad from Panera Bread). It's my new favorite thing after the Apple Pecan Chicken Salad from Wendy's.

    I love having fruit in my salads now. Helps get my veggies and fruits in at the same time.

    I'll give it a crack! Starting weight is/was somewhere around 152. If I could be 145 by Halloween that would be great.
