For all you losers... For those who gained or stayed the same... and for PoohBearGS & Malona23... send the whoosh fairy our way!!

Now I'm off to bed because I'm up way too late! (But had to finish the newsletter and check in here again. Malona - I know what you mean about being addicted to this site!)

Thank you, and good night!

Thank you all so much! :jump:


Sending her your way...........*~*~*~***~whoooooooooooosh~***~*~*~*

Hi everyone.
I know it is bad to weigh every day, but I can't resist.
185 this morning. YEAH! Got rid of the water weight I picked up over the weekend along with the b-day cake. Fairly strict Induction day yesterday and so I am going to try to make it the full 2 weeks. I know that it'll get easier after today (cravings are already starting to subside). My mood should improve, too, if experience is any indicator. Now,if I can just keep my weekends on the even keel and away from temptation....

momjanine... I knew that weight wouldn't last. You've got a great attitute about re-inducting. I'm sure it will help a lot!

Caught my son's head cold yesterday, but feel better today, other than some sneezing and congestion. Because of that, I was NOT in any shape to work out this morning. Will try to get some Tae Bo in tomorrow. I know that I need to do it in order to kick the weightloss into gear. Plus my water. It's my two keys to success.

I'm also very proud of myself... ordered Pizza Hut tonight because I did not feel like cooking. DH and DS had pizza, and I had their wings, plus some salad I have ready-made in the fridge. Didn't even crave a taste of the pizza! That's a big deal for me!!

Keep up the great work, everyone! malona23 release the whoosh fairy she was holding hostage, so can't wait to see who she visits this week!

I know my 155.5 won't last. I have a feeling that I will have a whoosh. However, I'm trying to wait until Monday to weigh. Hopefully, I'll get back down to sig weight.

I guess the Whoosh Fairy visited me! I would've been happy with a 1 pound loss, so I am ecstatic over a 2 pound loss. I stayed on plan today, so I hope these 2 will stay off! Where's that hex when you need it?!

This means I am finally back to where I was a MONTH ago. I got down to 228, then TOM visited, and next, the trip to San Antonio. If I have any message for newbies and those on OWL, it is this: CHEATS ARE NOT WORTH IT!!!! I've finally come full cirlce and it's taken me a month! (Counting the gaining and re-losing.) I know alot of people lose faster, but it still isn't worth it. THE TIME YOU SPEND RE-LOSING IS TIME YOU COULD HAVE SPENT LOSING MORE! If I hadn't gained those 7 pounds (228 to 235), I could've lost probably 5-6 pounds and been closer to my goal!

But, I don't live in "Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda" land. I'm just happy that I was able to get back on plan and get back to my starting again point.

As per the unwritten rule, I will wait to change my signature until I see the same # twice. Take care, everyone. Mada, I hope you and your little sweetie get over those colds!

Remember, Thanksgiving will be here before we know it!

I'm in! Late but I'm in. I need something to keep me focused and on track. I am a very emotional eater and things over teh last month have been horrible. I started the low carb WOL in January after I had my 1st child. Thats when I tipped the scales at 269.

I stopped the low carb thing for a modified carb diet in July after I found out I was pregnant with child # 2, unforunately at 7.5 wks my husband and I lost our baby. (All I wanted to do was eat- revert back into old habits) I fought the battle of the fridge but then 3 wks ago my grandfather passed away and have found myself a VERY tempted to eat eat eat and cry cry cry. I have fallen off the wagon some what but have been lucky and only gained 1.5 lbs back. It's time to stop. My blessing is that I am currently on maternity leave and my 7 month old son keeps me busy enough to keep me out of the fridge. Well count me in. Thanksgiving here I come.

269/220.5/170

That's great that the scale is moving though!!!

Mine has stopped (just in time for this challenge - grrrrr)

BUT I've a pair of jeans I'm using to check my size - I can almost get into them, so I know I'm losing inches!

Hello Everyone,
I am a little late with my weight in amount but happy to share that I am down 4lbs! Sometimes it pays to keep going to that gym and one day see the numbers change! Only 16 to go till Thanksgiving....
Its great reading what everyone is struggling with its nice to know we can all do it with the great support this site offers. Have a great rest of the week everyone!

howdy folks. weigh-in days? what's that? i should say DAZE. i moved this week and was under more stress than any 15 people should be, so i was happy to maintain mostly.

i can report 164 at this point, though. considering all the fast food (and that "chineese food incident", well, i'm not whining. i am not exactly flying here, but nobody's been smacked, so i consider the week a success.

Welcome to Adam's Mom! We look forward to getting to know you!

The scale showed me the same # twice, so I claimed it. Now, I've gotta get down from here!

Dixie, I am so proud for you! When "nobody's been smacked", I consider that a pretty good day! LOL!
