    Thanks Steph, Sounds good to me. I'll take it. I was thinking about that this morning and didn't want to report today's weight but I decided to anyway to be accountable. So I agree. My Official weight 161.8 and the goal to beat next Friday. I am all over this.

    After consulting with my fellow musketeers and deciding to drop my bad day for the week, my update official numbers for the week are:

    Today's official weigh in.

    Last Friday's Weight: 162.8
    Official Weight: 161.8
    Net Loss: 1 pound

    My next week's goal 158.X. This is an aggressive goal, but I am shooting for it.

    Admittedly ate more than was planned but was still below my calorie limit.

    Don't let those days get you down. They're gonna happen. Just get right back to eating right and don't let it stop you from moving forward. You're doing great!

    Back to Monday and a 5.2-pound weekend gain. This morning's weight 167.0 which leaves me with 8.1 pounds to lose by Friday to get to 158.X. I am up for the challenge but if I don't get 158 I have to get below 161.8 to have a net loss for the week.

    Today is a mini Fast day. Meal consumed below.

    Ugh, the weekend weight gains, gotta love 'em! But, we all know they're usually temporary so I think you'll drop most before your weigh in and you may very well hit the 150s! Best to you sweet lady :-)

    Happy Tuesday Everyone. Had a good 2 pound overnight loss. I am happy with that and will continue on hoping to have good losses throughout the week so I can hit that 158.x goal on Friday.

    Today's weight 165.0

    I am looking at modifying my diet. I had my cholesterol checked again on last week and it is now back in the high range. My January test was good because I had been doing the Daniel Fast for the new year and my numbers were in the normal ranges. After resuming meats, dairy and the like my total cholesterol is up 104 points, My LDL is up 88 pounts, my triglycerides are up 38 pounts and my HDL is up 9 points in less than three months. I really don't want to have to be put on statins so I am going to use my diet to get my numbers where they should be.

    So the plan is to consume more fruits, veggies, beans, fiber foods, and healthy fats while reducing the red meats, and eating majority poultry and fish for protein.

    Your HDL is up 9 points? Tracey, that is fantastic!!! Holy crap, woman. You went up on the most important one. Have you had the test done to see whether your ldl is fluffy or dense? It makes a difference from my understanding.

    You’re doing so well, Tracey! I don’t want to be put on statins, either. All I care about is raising my HDL and lowering triglycerides. So much research today that shows high cholesterol isn’t a bad thing. However, high triglycerides and low HDL are not good.

    Best to you!!

    My numbers are not bad and my risk for cardiovascular issues is really low. I am thrilled that my HDL is up. My triglycerides are in the normal range (94) and my HDL is high (75) so I am not too concerned. It is just that some doctors (mine included) see high LDL (202) and total (296) numbers and automatically want to medicate.

    That's amazing news :+1: Doctors are not always right, IMHO. Sometimes, when we feel something is off, we will seek 2nd or even 3rd opinions. Congrats on 165!!!

    I wouldn’t be concerned at all if I were you. Not even a little bit! Lol

    You are just a tiny bottle of awesome sauce!

    Was a low overnight loss for me. I didn't do a mini fast. I ended up getting a salad from Chipotle and having a small bowl of vegetable soup my sister made.

    This morning's Weight 164.4. An overnight loss of 0.6 pounds.

    I am with you Steph. Water fast for me today. I am not sure about tomorrow though because I have family coming over in the morning for Easter Weekend. I will try to keep the fast but might have to end up doing a mini fast tomorrow.

    159.9 would be good for me as well. It would be a 1.9 loss from last week which is very good in my book, but the lower the better.

    AGREED AND AGREED! :drinker:

    159.8 would only be a 0.4 loss for me but with an extra feed day replacing a mini fast day, I'd be SUPER happy with that! (Plus it'd be a 2.6 2 week loss which is acceptable to me :smirk: )
