5th Weigh-in: 181.6
Okay, so not a “big number” week, but every little bit helps! I didn’t do my measurements this week because I figured they probably have changed much since I didn’t lose much this week. Might make the measurements an every-other-week thing…
6th Weigh-in: 178.4
Well, despite the fact I felt I had a really rough week in terms of keeping on-track (and on points), I still managed to drop 3.2 pounds! WOW. Now I realize that my bad week may come back to haunt me next week at weigh-in, but like my leaders was saying in our meeting this morning – any negative number is success, so even if next week I only lose .8 pounds again…or even .4 or .2, my goal is to just at least have lost.
18.2 lbs !?! Awesome!
I think I’ve found about 5 of the lbs. you lost….just thought you might like to know, if you’re looking for them! Arghhh!!!!
Congratulations!! I recently saw one of your line dance pictures and WOW, you can tell you’ve lost weight (plus I LOVE the hair; it’s my favorite style on you); you look FANTASTIC! Loves…
You’re so funny! Those pictures are from 2004!!! They’re not what I look like now…they’re just where I want to get back to looking like!
Wow, you’re doing great!
14th Weigh-in: 168.2
Clearly there has been a gap in listing results here, but now that I’m back on track and feeling rejuvenated about it, I think I’ll be good going forward with putting weekly updates back in.
28.4 pounds down! Feelin’ good these days!
