    Welp, I almost made it. Saturday is my birthday, but we're leaving town today for a trip to the mountains. Hubby's birthday is today, two days before mine, so we always do something kinda fun for "our" birthdays. I won't have access to a scale again until Monday.

    But the scale is an evil b*tch. It hovered at 199.8 for a moment, and I got all excited. Then it bumped up to 200 flat. I thought maybe I jinxed it and got on the scale again. It went right to 200 flat. *sigh* So much for ONEderland by my birthday. I got close, tho.....any closer, and I'd be there, but I'm not bitter. Not bitter at all. :grumble:

    Happy Birthday for tomorrow - mine too. Have a lovely trip.
  • Congrats to you all!!!

    luckily i don't have a sweet tooth at all, i usually crave salty foods!! i like my coffee sweet, but that's about it.

    i LOVE fruit, though! apples are my favorite, i'm definitely one of those "an apple a day" people. oh, and bananas and pineapples! i like dried fruit too, especially dates, figs, and (don't laugh) prunes. i'm gonna go get a fruit now :bigsmile:

    Lost .4lbs this week. Pretty good considering I had a 3.8lbs loss last week. I'm slowly but surely getting there! When I have a sweets craving I go for one of two things, fruit or peanut butter. :happy: Both a yummy and gets me through the craving. Hope everyone had a successful week! Keep going! We can do this!:bigsmile:

    This week we need to push ourselves harder as we are coming close to September

    and I know for myself I am looking to add to the challenge by starting with super

    clean eating next week, Monday, when I return from vacation. In the meantime,

    I am looking to work out at least 90 minutes every day. Are there any of you who

    would like to work out 90 minutes a day with me? We can do any combination,

    strength train, yoga, calisthenics, aerobics, hiking...anything you like:glasses:

    Please send me a personal message to my inbox and tell me of your plan for the week

    if you're in! Together we can stay motivated and build each others ideas!!! Thanks!!!

    on a "see-food" diet lol. best wishes for your continued success in the
