    May 9: 306.6 (-1.4) (Probably not any real change as the loss is most likely due to cutting my hair)

    5/12/14=278.2 +0.6 After 9 days of vacation, this isn't bad. Back to the letter of the law as of today.

    5/17/14= 276.9 -1.3, OK, the letter of the law evaded me, but the progress is reasonable. Ten more pounds in two weeks? Not likely, but will see how far can go in that time.

    5/24/14= 279.3 +2.4 Wow, I knew the week was stress filled, less exercise, but wow. What can I do in a week, but hang on for the ride?

    @Dan - Thank you! I am hoping with my hormonal issues I'll still be in that range come Friday! I am hopeful, but unlike the Atkins commercial I am not /hungry/ and hopeful. I even had some homemade fudge sauce (3 servings) for about 123 calories total.
