the great privilege for me of starting this challenge, is that I started real low
and now have plenty of room to move up.
I'm up a bit and will be gone over the weekend.
Hopefully I'll be back at my startweight by Tuesday.

Have a great weekend everybody and stay tuned.
Run ahead,
and leave me a link in case you'll finish this race before tuesday.

Gwabyn, I always seem to get caught on a low day, too! Look how close I am to Onederland!

I never seem to win these contests but they have gotten a nice chunk of pudge off me in the past 5 or 6 months, slow but steady...

Only 6.5 pounds from goal.

That is great!


Jschwab, you might not have won one of these challenges,
but being so close to your goal weight,
definitely makes you a winner.


It turns out, the hotel really does have hightspeed WLAN.

Good luck to all.
Where are the others by the way?

Looks like it's still just us. I didn't weigh in yesterday because I had a tremendous amount of inflammation and I just didn't bother. I'm still up but it's not as bad.

No change.

same here.

seems like everybody else is on holiday
Keep going anyway.

I should hit the next number on friday, I think.
