    This group is so motivating and nice to each other! Its so great to see everyone's input and goal setting!
    I havent been good since my carb-loading leads me to crave crappy foods....but now that Im done for nearly 1 month til my next set of races, I can concentrate on better choices and take in all your recommendations. Here are the last 3 weekend races...I know its no excuse to eat poorly, but I really do get super hungry these events (& thirsty for beer!LOL!) Thank you all for your great enthusiasm!

    you look great and are a motavation to us all by action and words . thanks

    Hey, is it too late to join? Because I'm aiming to lose 15 lbs by New Years!

    I was doing really well (lost 54 lbs since May) but completely fell off the wagon last month and gained almost 2 lbs back. I'm back on track, though, and could really use some extra motivation!

    CW: 270ish lbs (last weighed 3 days ago)
    GW: 255 lbs

    Wow that is an amazing weight loss congratulations, we all fall off the wagon from time to time and 2lbs isn't too bad a fall !!!

    Sorry to hear you haven't lost as much as you hoped but reducing the medication is great news, focus on being healthy rather than the weight as if you can get healthy the weight will follow.

    Don't worry Margaret. You are gaining health. We focus so much on the numbers and don't see the extra energy, diminishing meds, those other more difficult measures of success. You are doing so well monitoring tour food and activity and supporting US!

    Here's to a successful weekend, my friend! ♥
