      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?

      5/24/14= 171.0 (0) It went back up and then down again, this is good.

      @Etherlilly aka Maelyn - How did I miss that post?

      CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

      @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.
