    I'm aiming for a little more than 5 pounds because I'm retaining water right now from lots of salt on the weekend, so I'm weighing in a couple pound heavy right now.

    I am on board for the accountability as I have not been following my plan as well as I should and it shows as I have been losing and gaining the same 4 pounds for the last month and a half and I am ready to kick it to the curb for good and continue my journey to skinnydom!

    Halloween is one of the main reasons I wanted to lose weight. I want to look my best this year. Last year....some college boy made a joke that compared me to "Free Willy"! :cry:
    No one is making a whale joke about me this year or I will beat them over the head with one! :angry:

    That will be greatt-It will bring me to goal 5 and possibly my UGW.

    SW--161

    Halloween weight--139.


    The funniest thing that has happened is now my overweight neighbor doesnt think I will keep my weight off. The week she said that I lost 1.4 pounds.
