    So, so exciting to see everyone's results! I love how even those who have gained are keeping it in perspective, too. I had a lovely surprise this morning - down two pounds since last week. That's a first in one week for me (though I know it might not be actually due to just fat loss.) Knowing I had to report really kept me motivated to resist my cravings and get in my exercise last week. Thanks, guys!

    if anyone wants to do a challenge this weekend, it is: TO GIVE UP ONE UNHEALTHY FOOD ITEM FOR A WEEK. i will post the challenge on thursdays after the weigh-in. it will be a random idea and you can chose to participate or not. if you do, have fun exercising your willpower muscle! :)


    *for some people, an unhealthy food item may be corn-fed beef; another might consider low-fat items overly-processed; for another it may be white pasta; another might be chocolate or sweets/sugar; another it can be pretzels or chips; for another it might be excessive salad dressing. unhealthy is subjective.

    I am in!! I want to lose at least 10 lbs by then. I will be in England studying at Harlaxton College on the Summer Solstice. They say that the Manor was built specifically with the solstice in mind. I want to experience it without feeling so HUGE!

    Add me BP1140

    Thanks!

    skimming over my diary last week showed me that i have been giving in to the sweet-tooth monster a little too often. :) i've had a kit-kat, bowl of raspberry sherbert, 2 packages of nerds, a french fruit tart and 2 cookies. i will be giving up a food group instead of a specific food. :) sweets, you are outta here for the next week!
