Your threadmistresses for this thread are ABirney and Kopper

Who we are:

We are a group of women who for 1 reason or another want to shed a few (or more) lbs. We need the encouragement of others no matter their size or goal and we thrive in an atmosphere where we can all support one another.

Want to join the fun?!?

We welcome one and all. It doesn't matter what diet you are on (if any) or how many miles a week you run (if any) we will all find lots of help and support here.

Feel free to join at any time during the challenge.
It's better to join NOW than to wait until we start a new challenge!

Well I tried the detox thing this week that was posted in the last thread (thanks BumbleB!) I started it Friday and according to my home scale had lost 9.8# between Friday and last night. But, the scale at my TOPS meeting today said I was down 4.8# for the week (which I'll still take! :)) I think the differece is because I gained between Wed and Fri last week because I ate alot of salty/fatty foods, and AF should be starting either today or tomorrow. Hopefully I'll continue on a downward trend next week!

Hi ladies!
tgr Hope your little munchkin comes soon! You've done awesome with your wt during your pg!
kopper Hope you are feeling better.

Well I had my meeting today and had a big shock! I did ok with my meals and such this week, but wasn't expecting this number! Didn't think I did that good! I do think that last week's gain was due to me retaining alot of water though (salty foods on Easter, and AF showed a couple days later) so that probably had something to do with the major difference this week.
