The chocolate would be nice if it wasn't dark (not a big fan). I always avoid potatoes... I guess I assumed the starch was bad. Have you tried goat cheese? My step-mom introduced it to me yesterday as a matter of fact and it was really good... kinda a cross between cream cheese and blue cheese. I really thought by the rich flavor it would be higher in calories.

mamaturner

brit1329

OMG I'm going to be lucky if I'm not eliminated tomorrow I've been so busy with getting my husband ready/organized for his new job, finding a new home, getting my older daughter ready/signed up for her new school, and looking for a job. And that doesn't include all the normal day to day stuff. I haven't been doing very good this week

nisijam5

Brit, your at a 0.5 lb advantage this week *fingers crossed*

nisijam5

Good morning...my fat flushing friends

Today is weigh-in day with the word "obstacle" dated 6/15/11...don't forget the prize on the line is Immunity and to lovingly give a 0.5 lb disadvantage to someone of your choosing.

Have a good weigh-in,

Kim

HeatherShrinking

I stayed exactly the same...

Mindful_Trent

Hey all - I didn't have time to post my weight this morning (I have a meeting in... 3 minutes! Yay 8 am meetings. :grumble: ) Will post when I get home.

mcdebbie

Yay, I joined the 10 pound club!

mamaturner

Stayed the same- could be worse!.... is it just me or does my left foot look a lil funky? lol

CONGRATS DEBBIE!

nehtaeh

144.0, lost .2 from last week. Hoping I can see a 3 in there next week...slowly but surely, right?

On a brighter note, I painted my toenails last night. Two little 3-year-olds also got all their nails painted also. That's a lot of nail painting.

ETA: Sorry, I've resized and I don't know how I can get it smaller...I did the same as I always do, I don't know why its so huge! Kim, I can send you the pic to show you the word is on it if you want.

nisijam5

Debbie, 2.4 lbs. is awesome....down 1.33%...WTG!!

Shannon, I can see it just fine, no need to resend...I hope you hit the 143's this week!!

Aprilstar480

Made it to the 150's... next week i'm joining Debbie in the 10lbs lost club
:flowerforyou: Congrats Debbie!

Gigantic photos...not worth resizing...HAGD

nehtaeh

Haha - well now my pic has change -to super freaking tiny! Oh, well - it's there. Weird things happening. Wait, didn't I hear something about a full moon lately? That's gotta be it.

nisijam5

I actually hit 172.4 this morning and snapped a blurry picture without the words.

Got back on the scale and got a very blurry 172.6 with the words. Then, I realized that it was going to internal memory and not the card.

So, back on the scale for 172.8. If this is very close, I will go back and try to find the cord to post the 172.4.

It exhausting!!!

brit1329

Kim, that sucks. One day I got on the scale to check and when I got back on a few minutes later with the camera ready I was up 1 lb. I have no idea what happened, but it made me mad lol.

I'm definitely not the big winner this week, but that .5 lb advantage might just keep me in the game.

healthymomwannabe

I'm down 1.2 from last week. And even though last week was a gain, I'm even lower today than I was the week prior - the week before my gain! SUPER EXCITED! :bigsmile: :happy:

Connie

nehtaeh

Way to go Connie!! Great work!

healthymomwannabe

Way to go Connie!! Great work!

Thank you, Shannon. :flowerforyou: I've lost 42 lbs. since beginning MFP in January. My absolutely beautiful, sincere 8-year old daughter asks me just about every other day how much weight I've lost now... She and I have a "pinky promise" agreement that once I lose 50 lbs., we get to have a day at the spa together. Mani, pedi, facial, whatever the salon will allow a mommy and young daughter to do together, we're going to do it. It almost makes me cry every time she asks about my progress, though, because I know how much it means for her to go on the "date" we have planned. :sad: So the 50-lb. mark can't come soon enough. But man, oh man, does my precious daughter's face ever light up when I report to her that I've lost weight each week and how close I am to the big 5-0. It can't get any better than seeing her glowing smile. The date is going to be such a blast - just wish it'd get here NOW - especially for my daugher's sake....:frown:

Connie

mamaturner

Connie that is the sweetest thing ever, and talk about motivation!!

mcdebbie

Awwww, that's so sweet. You will have to post pictures when you all go on your date.

Kasi, so happy for you breaking into the 150's!! Can't wait until I get there.

nehtaeh

That is really sweet Connie! Great motivation too.

nehtaeh

Yay, I joined the 10 pound club!

Sorry I missed this Debbie - great job!

Aprilstar480

Awesome job with your weight loss Connie.... 42lbs since this January? That's less than 5 months! That is absolutely amazing! Your daughter is so sweet too... My daughter (15 years old) gets mad if I get out the calorie book or even a measuring cup for portioning cause she doesn't want me to get small enough to fit in her clothes Maybe I should make some sort of fun agreement with her too.

Connie

It's the sweetest thing ever, cause Connie is the sweetest person ever!! That is very exciting and I'm soooooo excited about your loss!!!!! Way to go hun! I got your text ,but my phone is currently charging, but sounds like a great, fun deal. You're the bestest friend evaaaaaah. :flowerforyou:

I lost this week, however, I STILL cannot get out of the mean and nasty 170's. :sad: I actually am so close and worked SO SO SO SO SO hard for it this week. I saw 170.8 Sunday morning and worked very hard Monday and Tuesday to stay under cals, etc. Makes no sense to me why I didn't lose more. And I should be happy with a loss; however, I admit that I got off the scale, walked over to my bathroom counter, put my head down and cried my eyes out. I'm so sick of it. Especially since I saw the 160's a month or so ago. I know I'm losing reasonably well, but seeing it a month ago as a mean tease and then having to hit the 70's again and then go down slowly is really frustrating me. :noway: I even thought about throwing in the towel but Connie has been a good friend and added some motivation...a dt. dew bet. If I hit the 60's she owes me one (by next week). If I don't, I buy her one. Somehow, that little bet will hopefully make me work even harder (if that's even possible - LOL). I thought taking her up on her regular dew idea (original idea), but knowing my luck, a regular dew would throw me back in the 70's!! LMAO~~ :grumble:

Here's my weight!

nisijam5

Maria, didn't you nearly kill yourself getting to the 160's??? Slow and steady is a better and healthier way of getting there!! I am totally with you on the 170's.

We've been at it together, remember??

mcdebbie

Oh Maria, that must be so frustrating. But just look how far you have come! Did you save a pair of "fat" pants? Go put them on and try running around the house and see if that doesn't cheer you up. :bigsmile:
