    I am LOVING reading everyones "what I like about myself" comments! Great job putting some of that stuff out there! I hope your week is going well... only 3 days to weigh-in, Eek! Darn Birthday week! Oh well we can do it!
    I'm in another longer challenge where we have to post progress pics... I just don't think I am there enough to be confident to post any yet... err.... I will find some more clothed before... but my bare midriff one will not be shown until there is a HUGE difference! lol (No worries, I wont make you do that! This is too short of a challenge for photos of changes!)
    Have you or do you have before and afters on this site, and how did you feel posting them to be OUT THERE in cyberspace?!?

    5 things I like about me...
    1. I like that when I want a snack I crave yogurt and fruit (new ....used to crave cakes, etc).
    2. I like that when I get up in the morning I WANT to go walk the trails- I no longer have to "talk myself into it".
    3. I like that I'm a devoted, loving wife even after almost 22 years together.
    4. I like that I'm a great mom.
    5. I like that I am working hard to continue my education so that I can try to get a better job.

    @Picky_Nikki - I think we are in the same challenge that is requesting the before and after pics. I am not ready to show the midriff photo either. It is pretty scary. I will wait until the end as well. I will reconsider at the midway point. But definitely not now!

    i am not expecting any loss this week :grumble: last weekend i over indulged and didnt even drink a single glass of water. weighing myself monday was a shock to say the least!

    ive tried really hard this week to push that number back down, and ive managed to get 218.8 the past 2 mornings. so close!! ive been under calories and also been having atleast 7 glasses of water a day, and this had helped. i am constantly peeing, ive used so much toilet paper LOL

    if im lucky i may make it down to last weeks weight, no loss is better than a gain!

    although, big fat NSV!! i tried on a pair of jeans bought just after christmas 09. they were snug then. now, they're barely hanging onto my hips :tongue: i made it my profile shot :laugh:

    Definitely scared for tomorrow's weigh in. I've actually done really well all week, but according to this morning's scale, I'm up another pound. Sigh...

    But I know that TOM is right around the corner, so it may be that. Plus, I'm really trying ot eat back my exercise calories, realizing that I'm usually eating way too little, so I've read that when we start eating back the exercise calories, it's common to gain at first, but that it will bring a big drop once the body adjusts. I'm HOPING for that.

    Trying to get all of my protein in and eat "clean" as much as possible.

    This week has not been good for me I have been more up than down and this is new for me since I have started this journey I have been down almost everyday til this week I have changed my goal to 1/2 lb hoping that will help some. The last couple days I have been seeing a decrease so hopefully that continues. I don't know if I will make it to the 130's by the end of the month or not at this rate.
    Great job to all those of you that have lost this week:smile:

    Weigh in on Friday April 15th .... 222

    I had a "BAD" day yesterday but am still down the 2 pounds that I hoped to be for this particular week. Today is a new day and a new chance to begin again; correctly!!! And I'm taking it.

    I don't know what the challenge is for this week but will find it. Hope everyone is doing well. Wish everyone a great day and a great week and much success!!!!
