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!

Sorry I haven't been around very much the last two weeks. We are right in the middle of selling our old house and buying our new house. We are moving about 5-6 hours northwest so I've been driving back and forth between the two places.

DH was out of town last week and I was left alone with my newborn and super jealous DS, so with all the stress at least I didn't gain!

[ABirney]

Ugh. HUGE gain today. I know some of it is water weight because AF is due Friday and my wedding ring is alot tighter than normal this morning, but I'm sure not doing much in the way of diet and exercise this week didn't help matters either.

With as poorly as I've been eating (dealing with some normal sleep issues), I'm surprised I didn't gain more. Once I can get going on some much put off home projects, that will automatically add in some serious cardio and weight training just by the nature of the projects. ;)

Ferris Don't get discouraged. :) Your body is probably just reeling a little from your big loss last week. I think it's wonderful that you lost so much last week and went down this week... means that weight loss is real! Keep at it, you'll see a bigger number again this week. :)

I have been awful this challenge, not even really trying at all. Since I'm really cheap, I made a deal that I have to give up $15 for every week that I gain/stay the same (which is what I figured WW costs around here). I wasn't happy to give that $15, so I know I'll do better next week.
