Ross, you're gorgeous! And your before pics inspired me to take my before pic in a bathing suit or underwear.... :blushing: So... we'll see how that goes.... It's weigh-in day and I lost! :bigsmile: I was still 0.7lbs from my mini goal of 202.5, but that just means I have to step it up a little to make the next one. :wink:…

I must admit I'm excited for tomorrow's weigh-in. *GO BLUE BERRIES* I still haven't taken progress pictures but I will before week end. :) Drink LOTS of water today!! :drinker: Manda

I'm on the Ortho Tri-Cyclen Low for that reason. Haven't had any issues in 4 years. :)

Congrats to last week's winners!!! :drinker: As for the challenge of taking a picture - I'm in! No sucking it in either! May I add that we share our progress pics at the end of the 14 weeks? Manda

Welcome to our challenge!! Can't wait for all of us to succeed!! :bigsmile: Manda

Bump!

So, I'm almost down a whole pound! :ohwell: It should have been around two or more, but this was a stressful week (and it ended with a trip to a buffet for dinner when my hubby's grandparents passed thru town last night). Anyway, that was yesterday and today is a new day and this is a new week!. :happy: My goal is to make…

I'm agreeable, as long as it's fair. :wink:

Thanks for all of your quick replies! I targeted apples because while reviewing my dairy it was the single item that had the most sugar. After your helpful hints, I won't cut apples out entirely, but I will cut back a little. I was thinking of replacing them other fruits or maybe with veggies... See, I learn something new…

I noticed I did that too a while back. It's amazing how the little slips here and there add up! Now we know!! Manda

My long term goal is to have better health and if I do it correctly, my appearance (or shape) should change along with it. :happy:

You are a sweetheart! Thank you for your kind words & your service . :flowerforyou: Manda

I like it cumulative. It keeps us looking at the big picture. :wink:

I saw that cupcake one and added it to my "try" list. :)

Looks like we're waiting on a few more people to log their weigh-in, but it looks like we all started off very well this first week! :bigsmile: Manda * TEAM BLUE BERRIES *

Exactly.

This. :) (See my blog) Manda

I entered your weight for you :smile:

Time to weigh-in! Don't forget to update the Google Doc! GO BLUE BERRIES! Manda

I love learning new things! Weigh-in is tomorrow: I'm nervous... TOM is supposed to hit this week and it always messes with my weigh-in, I had an all-day meeting today and I didn't get my normal lunch walk in (and I since food was catered, pastries were provided and I was bad), AND I haven't had as much time to do my…

I did 11, that's 3 more than my min goal of 8 :drinker:

Welcome to MFP! :flowerforyou: You'll find while "getting right with yourself", you'll become healthier and lose weight. As for Dr. Pepper - I was right there with you! After realizing I could spend 150cals on something else, I knew I had to ween myself off them. I'd start working on having just one can less a day. Then…
