Ok here's an update ~

Start weight - 228 (9/11/07)

Current Weight - 211 (10/23/07)

Goal Weight - 145ish

I have lost 17 lbs!  66lbs to go.  I have a mini-goal of 199lbs by 1/1/08.  That was based on losing about 1-2lbs a week.  That's only 11 more lbs in 10 weeks. I might have been a little conservative though, because I have been averaging about 3-4 lbs a week.  Hmmm...I might need to rethink my goal a little.  How is everyone else doing?

So how is everyone doing?  I lost 5 pounds this last week!  BUT...I've been pretty sick.  Just laying around, not eating much, and not exercising at all.  Definitely not a good way to lose it but hey...5lbs. is 5lbs. 

So share with me!  I want stories and updates! 

Anyone else want to join us?

Wow ~ so many replies!  This is great!!  Well, not great that we need to lose that much, but great that we can keep each other motivated!  Yay us!! 

I didn't walk today - I was just too damn tired.  Trying to fight off the cold that's coming on.  No excuse though...in the morning, it's two miles for me!  I did manage to drink almost twice as much water as I usually do.  I also didn't eat nearly enough today.  I just wasn't hungry.  So how are you doing with it?  Everyone still hanging tough?

Oh .... my.

Confession time.

I have bookmarked a link to a website that has a photo section called "food porn" .... nothing inappropriate or sexual .... just photos of really bad-for-you foods.

(I once spent 20 minutes looking at bacon-wrapped tater tots.... sigh)

YOUR DIET MOTTO: "Eat to Live" ~ not ~ "Live to Eat!"

Hi there - I decided to google Chris's name and read A LOT of things about him, most of which I already knew from this forum.  I LOVE that his name is out there...lots of strangers, including us, really do care.

I read that the police are trying to follow leads and I keep coming back to the "208" they think he might have written on a piece of paper.  I keep reading that they're focusing a lot of attention towards Idaho because that's the area code up there.  This may sound really obvious, and I'm sure the police are looking into everything but, I just have to put it out there just in case.  I know 208 is also the first three numbers in a lot of the state's phone numbers.  It doesn't necessarily mean an Idaho number.  Also, have they checked all the local addresses in the area that have a 208 in them?

Also, I read (might have been here) that he possibly has ties to Orange County.  If that's Orange County, CA - can you give more details?  I live here in OC and I'll do anything I can to help!  My eyes are always looking for the truck.

I know it may seem far-fetched but everyone should write down the phone number for the Enoch, UT police dept. and keep it with them...just in case.  It's 435-586-9445

My thoughts are with you and yours!

My favorites are Golden Grahams, Honey Bunches of Oats, Apple Cinnamon Cheerios, Rice Krispies, Frosted Flakes, Rice Chex, Grape Nuts.  Problem is, I can't just eat 3/4 cup of it!!  I mean, if I can cram it into a cereal bowl without it overflowing, then it counts as one serving, right?!?!  LOL

I just love Paula Deen!!  She cracks me up!  She's one of those people that I would  just want to hang out with for a weekend - at her house of course.  LOL  The only way I would eat most of her stuff though is if she made it personally for me - there's no way I could say no to that!  I also like Robin Miller.  She's the one who pre-cooks a lot of stuff on the weekend and the makes a bunch of different, quick meals from it during the week.  We watch Giada a lot.  She seems so nice - but we really watch her because my 15yo son thinks she's hot!  Suprisingly, nobody mentioned Emeril.  I used to like him but I think he's gotten a little full of himself and please don't bash me but I'm beginning to feel the same way about Rachael Ray.  I mean, she's everywhere!

My highest weight - 228

When?   On 9/11...haven't weighed myself again yet.  Waiting until 9/25.  I want to weigh every 2 weeks.
