    Great for you ShadowKitty. I think it's an important step when you're losing weight to shift clothes sizes. It's hard to spend money on new clothes when you're thingking "I'm not done yet and I won't be able to wear these new ones for long before they won't fit." but I do think it's important that we take our new shapes out for a test drive every now and then.

    What part of Korea do you live in? We lived in Chinhae for two years...had a great time there. Now the closest place that serves bulgogi is a 45 mile drive away...and we go every three weeks or so. Loved all the varieties of kimchi we could get there.

    We live at Osan AB (around the Pyeongtaek/Songtan area) and have been here for 3 years. I'm excited to hear that there's Korean restaurants where we're going next so we can still get our fix. Even our kids (5 and 15 months enjoy Korean food).

    And I completely agree that buying new clothes every now and then on your journey is so important. That's why I've been saving $5 for every pound I lose and whenever I hit 50 pounds I was going to go shopping for some new clothes. But sadly some stupid crap happened which required me to use my entire clothing savings account during this move and so now I don't have that money anymore. BUT, I have a friend who recently lost a bunch of weight and she gave me 5 pairs of her old jeans that now fit me. Four of them are a size larger than the smallest I can squeeze myself into (one pair is a size smaller than that) but because I'm literally not sucking it in to get them up and zipped, it means they fit properly. So I pretty much don't need to buy new clothes right now anyway since it was really only the bottoms that looked horrible on me. Looser tops can be pulled off still. Now I just need to find some other way to reward myself for losing that first 50 pounds (in 2.6 pounds!). :)

    Legs look great Tatyanne!! It is wonderful for us to feel great about ourselves and our accomplishments!!

    Kristen, I LOVE your picture and your sexy self in that dress! You are looking toned too, so I guess the weight training is going well! That is what I love to do!! My co-teacher is finally on the mend after several complications, but the best news is that they got all of the cancer out....lymph nodes were clear!! Yay! Thanks for your concern:-)

    lizarene3.... Hope your father-in-law is doing better!

    This is the first time I've checked this post in almost a week.....the last week of school with 30 ten year old's and my co-teacher being out after surgery nearly did me in....lol
    Not sure what the scale will show since I haven't seen the gym in a week, but I'm off for the summer and now the fun/work of losing the last 10 will begin. I wear capris and dresses to work all of the time, but have really been getting compliments lately about how good I am looking. One nice thing about being 4'11" is that sundresses are flattering and I love to wear them because they are so comfy!!

    I hope everyone had a great week.....I'll be weighing in the morning and will be more supportive with my increased time off:-)

    Tomorrow morning, we fly across the country to visit my oldest daughter and fam. Next Sunday, we will be boarding a cruise ship to the Bahamas. :-) Roni_M has graciously agreed to host the challenge for tomorrow and next week. Thank you sooo much, Roni!! I will be back to do the 6/4 challenge but the chart won't be posted until 6/5 since I'll be getting in town quite late on the 4th. Good luck in all of your efforts to eat right, exercise, drink your water, and lose those pounds!

    Good Morning - Thanks for the advice . I looked at a Polar but no chance at those prices. I have had a busy week this week. Been decorating the kitchen. Worst place in the house to do but it is finished now so hopefully back on track.

    Good luck everyone, well done to those who are on track.

    Going the wrong way! Had a great weekend out sailing on the Firth. Could still taste the salt when i came home. We got 30 kids who'd never been on the water sailing a triangular course by the end of the weekend and doing a powerboat challenge. I have an unreal number of sore muscles and spectacular collection of bruises. Am out sailing tonight, but this time is staff fun session, so may end up swimming too. As we play!

    Hope you all had a good week.

    Big loss this week, I guess the stress from starting a new job actually helped in some ways. I have to figure out a new exercise regimen that fits my new schedule though. And just one more lb and I'll have lost 1/3 of my original weight.

    I started some medicine at the same time as starting this challenge. Weight gain is one of the side effects. I won't let this stop me. I will just have to work harder.
