This is perfect timing for my 6 month weight loss goal of 40 pounds...I've lost 20 so for in 12 weeks So I'm really hoping for another 20 by June...Imagine when I can actually get out and start walking when the snow melts...maybe the weight will melt away too

Sorry I'm late to the party! I saw this thread in Brandy's once a week challenge - hope you don't mind! I brought my weight down 7 lbs, ...now for the last 15. Stubborn weight will not win. Sooms so hard to lose it, but we can do it!

Good Luck All! ~Cheryl Ann

CValentine, Angelica, and Arnie... you are not late!!! Come join the fun and let's lose some weight!!!

We weigh in every Friday, and this Friday will be our 1st official weigh in... I think it would be nice to let everyone know why you think you lost or gained for the week. It will help us be honest with ourselves and share with the rest of the group!

Let's hope there aren't too many gains and mostly lots of losses!

"Nothing tastes as good as being beautiful this SUMMER!" I try to remember this when a sugar-packed margarita is close by...

I just noticed I put my start weight as my goal, so I'm fixing that.

Anyways something I've noticed is every time summer comes around, I dread it. I'm always trying to cover my weight with bulky sweats and sweaters, and every summer I look like a crazy person wearing all black sweatshirts while everyone else is wearing bright tanktops and skirts. Hopefully I stick to this low carb plan so this summer will be different!

Me too... Angelica! I love summer, but I would also hide behind black, black, and more black!! Not this summer...

Tomorrow is weigh-in, I hope you all have been good! I had a margarita last Saturday I couldn't pass it up because I was with all of my girfriends and everyone had one. After I drank it, I went and looked at how many carbs... 34!!!!!!!! and 33g of SUGAR!!! I was very upset after that. But - I can say I didn't let it get to me, and I continued on my way! (I know I won't be doing that again!)

I'm still hanging around & just checking in to encourage everybody!

Let's keep it up girls - we know that sassy little swimsuit & shorts weather is just around the corner! We are together on this! Let's keep each other supported!

I'm in Phoenix, so I can get a head start on the nice weather. Until it gets too hot, but that's what my gym membership is for.

NEways, I will be buying my wedding dress about the time the challenge ends, and I REALLY want to get to 185ish! Its a long road...but you don't know how determined I am to look good for my September wedding.

When in September?! Congratulations! I am getting married August 30!!!!

Unfortunately I ordered my dress back at the beginning of December... so I will have to get alterations Which is a good thing.... (more money but skinnier.. I'll pay for that anyday!)

It is going to take 5 months to get my dress!!!. I'm not supposed to even get it until the end of April... hopefully yours doesn't take that long to get in! YAY - we will have lots to talk about in the upcoming months!

May I join? I'm new at this. I started today 2/21/08 at 184 lbs. my goal is 135. I hope I did thi right. My start weight on diet was 208.
If I wrote it in wrong, please let me know. I just hope I can find you all again!
