New Weight Loss Challenge

[Flybye]

kerrybelle, thanks for the laugh on the girl scout cookies.

I have resisted them FIVE times now. Haven't bought a single one.

Here's the scenario..................

"Would you like to buy some Girl Scout Cookies?"

me - "No thanks, what I would REALLY like to buy is smaller pants. Here is some money (I cough up whatever meager change I can) to help with your troop, thanks!"


complete thread drift here, but this is another one of my favorite lines..............

small box, kids, storefront, and KITTENS!!!

"Would you like a free kitten?"

me "Nope, I would actually PAY YOU to keep them!"

I am entitled to NOT like cats. Sorry to all you cat lovers. I have tried. I have had so many bad cat experiences that I wouldn't know where to begin. About the time I had to lay NEW carpet in my already NEWLY carpeted office because the cat decided that the location of the litter box was inconvenient, I quit seeing them as cute and furry. I started to see them as a $2000 investment that poops in the house.

Good luck tomorrow!!

This morning's weight- 178.2 (down 2.2 from last Friday)

Wow- I am totally amazed, considering the evil Girl Scout cookies forced me to eat 3 of them last night! But I did exercise close to an hour a day all this past week and was pretty good other than the cookies.

Off to a good start!

I'm at 178.4

Down about 1lb from last week. So happy!

138.0 today, body fat same at 32%. I'm in for the non-reward challenge this time.

Luckily, I haven't run into any store front Girl Scout cookies sales, yet. I'm sure it's coming soon. Two people I work with are selling cookies, including my boss! So far I've been pretty good at resisting, but must admit I've eaten a few.

YIPPEEEEE........................

It was only for a nano second, but the scale said 149.8 and then it went to 150.
YYYYYEEESSSSS!!!!!

I am shooting for 147. I am going to Hawaii in the morning and will be gone for 9 days. I plan to eat lots of fruit while I am there. However, there is fantastic coconut ice cream over there, so we'll see! Wish me luck!

Put me down at 149.8 1/2 or 150

I'm up this week to 148.0 But I was sick with a stomach bug last week and had no appetite so I'm guessing that either made me lose some weight or I "celebrated" having an appetite back a little too much this week (or both). It's ok, I'll get serious next week!!!!

Oh and put me down for the reward challenge, please!

And Flybye - Have a GREAT time in Hawaii! I bet the fruit there will taste pretty incredible. I've only had coconut gelato in Italy but it is my absolute favorite, I can image coconut ice cream being amazing, too.

Put me down this week for 160.5

I don't have a digital scale, but the needle is just a smidge over 160. I would like to celebrate this loss, but I think it is, ahem, water weight.

We'll see a more real number next week.
