Hey!  I've been at 154 for quite a while, but over Thanksgiving I ate and ate (and drank LOTS of Dr Pepper).  Today, I was at 159.  ARG.  Hoping to be at 150 by the end of the month.  I think I have a lot of water weight at this point, so I should lose a bit more this first week back.  I'm praying!  I have an incentive.  The middle of January my sisters and I are getting together for a girls weekend.

fifth day straight at 141.  that means it's going to drop off any minute now, right?

140 has been my nemesis for so long; every time i break it (like last week - 139.7 for a day), it's like the universe is taunting me.  but i mean it this time.  i'm going to shatter that barrier once and for all ;)

Well -- since I fell off this a little over a month ago, I would like to join this challenge and see if I can drag my butt at least back to where I started.  I will weigh in tomorrow.

coach, obviously you need a bigger one.

Hell -- if I had that one, there'd be no incentive to lose the weight...
