Congrats, all. Christi, you look fabulous in the photos. I didn't understand about the "belly monster" at all until I saw the before photos.

As for me, I've been under far more stress than usual. I was out of town last weekend for a job interview, and found out I'd be going out of town NEXT weekend for another interview. And today I'm supposed to meet a cousin for the first time. Plus I've been battling some sort of leg injury all week. (Ooh, and the people in the first city have already told me they really want me there and will be making me an offer this week!)

But despite the stress - and the travel - I'm down slightly more than my usual, at 2.2. I'm also finally down a size. So, YAY, ME!!!

Hello everybody!! Just wanted to post before we left for the beach. We are all running like chickens with their heads cut off trying to get the trailer packed....Dear Honey has to go to sears to pick up a new battery for his pickup, it died last night!! Anyways, since my last post 2 weeks ago, I am down 2 more precious pounds. I am now at 27 lbs. I am 3 pounds from my 2nd goal of 30 lbs. I was hoping to reach it by vacation time, but the funeral thru me off. And yes STRESS slows down your weight loss. I agree with that statement 100%

Well, I've got more packing to do, and the mf is already in the trailer. OOps, just remembered, gotta get my shaker jars out, were we are going doesn't have electrical hookups. It's dry camping. Darn, I'm gonna miss my MB!!

See ya all next week!!

24k, my pasadena friend, you are doing great! a new club for you and so many others this week.
keep it up and drink water! its even more important with this heat! Isnt it great that the heat seems a little less since we are not eating carbs? what will that feel like this winter?!?!?! without my 50 lb sweater I will have to buy some new fleece?!?!?! (awwwww)

[sasafraz]

Hi Everyone,

When I got up this morning I was dreading the weekly weigh-in...boy I sure am glad I got on those scales because I was down 4 more pounds, now I am in the 10# club
This past week was a challenge and I even slipped a little but got back on track and I am glad I did.

Congrats to all losers!

I've lost 3 pounds in the last week. Of course, I'm just starting my second month but still, with this kind of progress, it is easier to stay on plan.
