    I thought for sure I would be up if not maintaining this week with a friend's birthday, another friend's wedding, and two birthday dinners for my husband. Nope, I had a big loss! Which brings me to over 60lbs lost in total! I NEVER thought I would get this far, I'm so excited.

    I did not deserve this drop. No exercise and very few well behaved days in the last week. I thought I would gain a few lbs. The increased activity around Christmas must have helped. I like the loss but I don't think I earned it. :tongue:

    @Holly, I feel your pain! So long as I stay around the same as I am now over the next week of partying and meals I'll be pretty happy hehe.

    @p1xy, great to feel that loss when you didn't expect it!

    @Malia, Curse those pesky meds! Hopefully they'll make you feel well though and your amaaazing food choices and crazily good exercise will get you back down in no time at all :)

    You did something right...maybe kicked in that metabolism. Whatever it was, it's yours so you earned it. :)
