WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE - 7 Weeks-10#'s

bambu101: hurray! the scale moved!

OK- the holiday weekend is over. How did everyone do?

I weighed yesterday morning, and was down .8 pound- I'll take it! After the cookie baking yesterday afternoon, I am not sure it'll stay off, but I'm a happy camper for now.

BTW, anybody weigh more than their significant other? I outweigh mine, who is 6'3" and 150 pounds, by a good 25 pounds- how humiliating is that?

6'3" and 150 lbs? He's a string bean!

I outweighed my 5' 11" not-so-darling-at-the-moment husband when I was 190. He was 175. I lost twenty pounds, and I think he found them, and more. I'm not sure how much he weighs, and I don't think he knows either. He doesn't like scales right now. He know's he's overweight (and he's got naturally high cholesterol, so it's REALLY bad to be overweight), and was just starting an exercise program when he hit some railroad tracks the wrong way on his bike, tumbled off, and cracked some ribs. The doctor has forbidden him to do anything but swim or walk on the flats for months!!! I had no idea cracked ribs were that bad.

Wow, Tuckervill. Your Thanksgiving sounds like one that will be funnier as a memory. "Remember the Thanksgiving where litlle Joey was 2 and littering the house, I was PMS-y, and the sewer system went out with the house full of people? Hah hah hah." Okay, maybe not so funny!

Congrats for making it through it with a still semi-positive attitude!

We had a nice thanksgiving, just my younger daughter and me. Very giggly.

I'm up a couple of pounds, maybe the PMS thing, maybe the PIE thing.

But borrowed Darling Daughter's mountain bike and did a great ride in San Luis Obispo when I droppd her off at school yesterday. Pedaling up dirt hills is always great incentive to shed a couple more pounds of baggage.

Down one pound! We ended up staying in town without plans, so had Boston Market for dinner - plain turkey, string beans and stuffing, so nothing really bad, and I gave DB most of the stuffing. Plus, we only ate half and had the rest the next day. So, I'm glad I managed. The weather's been bad, so haven't done much riding, but I hope to get in long rides this weekend, and another century next weekend.
