    Ok....down six pounds from last Wednesday!!!!! Still only two down from our original weight when we began this thing, (or is it only one???) but at least in the right direction! Unbelievable how much water this body holds. I'm actually EIGHT pounds down from Friday. I had gained two more pounds after weigh-in last week. The strain that puts on this poor ol' body....ugh.

    Oh, well....positive numbers. That's all I care about!

    Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!

    LAST CHANCE WORKOUT!!!!! GET IN THE GYM GET IN THE GYM!!!!!

    ...

    :blushing: Whoops, channeling Jillian for a minute.
    Let's do this!

    Have a great day guys.

    OH! I have interesting info. I was reading this article on weight loss (You may have all read it as well?) that suggested one should go on maintenance after every ten pounds lost, just for a week, so the body can adjust appropriately to the new weight instead of freaking out over the loss!

    I think everyone's too impatient to try that on for size but it's an interesting theory!

    Hey nick...do you remember where you read it? I am still stuck at 140...just about my 3rd 10 pounds. I have really tried everything EXCEPT going below 1200. that feels too much like binging and purging or taking up smoking to lose weight. I am here to get HEALTHY and maybe lose weight.....except I really want that pound gone...........I can see the 30's and it is taunting me!!:laugh:

    Marla - YAY! Your body doesn't need that much water! Get it OUT woman!

    Ok...got T on my lap & she's making me nuts so I'll bbl to chat more.

    GOOD LUCK BLACK TEAM!

    Marla that is fantastic!! I hate to say this but never drink that much water ever again. :laugh:

    I am down 2.4 pounds from last week and only worked out last night. Maybe that was what I needed because for the last couple of weeks I have only been losing .2 ro .8 of a pound. so, this feels good. The only down side is that I wasnted it to move just .5 more of a pound so I could be under 180. :grumble: But YAY!!! 180.4 feels GREAT!!!

    Good going everybody!

    I lost a little bit this week, but actually am a bit up from the lowest point I dipped down to when I was so sick last week ... oh well, little by little... and I knew that was one of those numbers that show up to taunt me. I probably won't actually be there for some length of time ... oh, the joys of being nearly 50!!

    Hey kids...congrats to us all on another awesome week!

    I'm down a little this week myself...back to where I was 2 weeks ago after gaining last week. (Blaming it on salt, that is my story and I am sticking to it. :tongue: )

    Do we have a new challenge yet? Whose turn is it, anyway?

    Hey team!!

    Congrats to all the losers - everyone did really well..

    Marla - thank god you finally lost all that water.. scary how much people can hold.. so happy for you..

    I lost a little over 4 pounds this week. I had gained 3 last week (water weight from Indian food - never touch the stuff, it is evil) - so am feeling relieved..

    Looking forward to getting out of the 190's..

    Also looking for the next challenge - does anyone have this week??

    I don't think anybody has called it. If you want it, take it.
