Weighed in this morning and I lost 0.5 lbs.

Weighed in this am and came up with another 1/2 lb so that makes a total of 2 lbs this week!!! If I can lose 2 lbs each week until 7/4, I will make my goal!

I love my food plan!! I am never hungry and I can eat full meals and feel full when I am done. I have been eating alot of fish as this is what seems to help my body lose weight.

well, today is Monday, WEIGH IN DAY!
i had a bad weekend, but i still lost 4 pounds this week. i guess i should not get discouraged. I congratulate everyone on their weight loss and hope everyone continues. Talk to everyone later, Kristin

You are all doing great. Keep it up!

Weight... up 3 pounds

Inches....down 4 inches

Can I join? I need all the extra incentive I can get. I stayed the same this week. But last week I started Atkins at 314 then got to 277 then yo yo'd and went off now I am on for life! And since 5/11/04 I am now 271. When do we weigh in and report? And Good Luck and continued success to all!

As of this morning (05/24/04) I am down 0.5 pounds for the past week. Slow but at least it's in the right direction! It's a hectic day so I will check in later.

Dixiemamma don't get discouraged. The last twenty pounds are the slowest to come off so just be patient.

stylist, judynyc, kristin62 and madeline Congrats!!!!!!!
meggen 4 inches that's awesome!!!!!
Encouraging results for our first week.

thx revrose... I needed that. I just don't see how people can stall for so long and not go back to their old way of doing things.

Hi Everyone!

Still here and kicking (or at least walking for exercise =). Hubby and I both were shooting for 16 more pounds by 7/4/04 and I have lost 2 of the 16 and hubby has lost 3 pounds from the 16 =). We are starting to see some slowing in the loss rate after the initial induction, but will hope for good results by next Monday. Still love our team idea!! And for a name, how about the Independence Day Team since our first goal is set for that American holiday, and we are all trying to gain independence from food? Just a thought.

Anyhow.....here is the team list with updated stats reported so far. Please copy and paste this and add yourself as needed:

152 lb. team goal - 16.05 lost on 5/24/04

16.05 pounds (11% of goal) gone forever so far !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It gave me chills to see how well we are all doing!! Even if you are in a stall, its just that....a stall and the scale will catch up if you don't stray from your plan.

Congrats to us all!! I think we're doing GREAT!!

ps-I'm confused when you say 20% by Independence day, is that your personal goal? or is that 20% by Memorial Day? I'm very confused...sorry!!

RevRose - the movie was great.. thanks to my cinnamon pork rinds.. THOSE THINGS ARE DA BOMB!! WOW.. I recommend them to all... warm up (I'd say half a bag) and put about 2-3 packets of Splenda and cinnamon to taste.. and shake.. YUMMY.. sounded strange.. but its such a treat!

Stylist - I got measured on saturday at Curves and have lost a total of 8 inches This of course was from the beginning of May but it's something!

Unfortunately I basically maintained. The scale said I lost a lb..but I had my shoes off this weigh in... soo I maintained.. *sigh*

Congrats to all you losers though!!

Judy, I am sorry! That 20% is my personal min-goal from when I started - it does look confusing though so I changed my signature a little. I am a little over half there personally =). As a team, I think we did awesome!!! WTG to everyone!! Here is the recap with Rapvnzle added - 8 inches!!!! That is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
