    Since I have been weighing on Fridays I'm debating on doing it tomorrow or waiting for friday...... We'll have to see. Not liking my body this month. My results have not been what I've wanted.

    But ... isn't that what you want? It means you're gaining muscle and yet losing fat! That's amazing! Think about it - the heavier you are, the more you can eat and not get fatter. But the denser you are, the better you look. Win win!

    I did it! My food diaries are open so please check them out if you want to see how. For me, it's all about making positive choices that are healthy so I don't feel like I'm denying myself anything. That and a food scale for some portion control, very limited snacking (no eating because I'm bored!), fun physical exercise, and being OK with being a bit hungry once in a while. Thanks for the challenge--it really helped me stay focused and now I'm almost at my goal after only two months!

    I was down to 161.3 on 2/27, for a total of 7 lbs, but that was mostly a result of being sick from 2/21-2/26 so I'm okay that I'm back up on 2/28.

    Congrats to everyone who participated, even if you didn't make the 5!
