We were in the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana. that was my first time tot he Carribean (it won't be my last). I would like to see more of other islands and I understand that both of the places you are going to are very nice. The one thing I liked about going to Punta Cana was that the flight was direct from Cleveland. I went from looking at lake Erie and in just a little under 5 hours I was sipping a glass of fresh fruit juice in the lobby of a beautiful resort in the middle the Carribean. A direct flight with no muss or fuss.

Hope you have a great time where you are going.

Thursday....

Word of the day.... "Spoonerism"....and no, the definition is not about people having a romantic encounter while spooning...though come to think of it a that would be a good word for it. "Hey hon...how's about a little spoonerism tonight?"

Anyway...the week is almost over and the holiday weekend is looming closer. Though it looks like the remanants of Ernesto will cause a few wet days for us here in Ohio. Which normally I don't mind a rainy day now and again, just not on a 3 day holiday weekend.

So if you didn't catch my post in the "Weight Room" finally the door to the 80lb. club opened for me this morning. 139 days ago I started this little journey....seems like last week and also seems like a year ago. It has been a journey of highs and lows...though not too many lows and mostly highs. Occasionally I have wanted to chuck the scale out the window in the morning but for the most part I am fairly happy when I get on the scale. It is also nice to be able to look down in the morning and see my toes and the number on the scale at the same time!

A few little factoids....
139 days into MF journey
80.5 lbs. lost
Average 4 lbs lost/week
A little over a half pound per day lost on average
17 weeks until the end of the year
47.5 to goal
Need to average a hair over 2.75 lbs lost/week
Which is a little under a half pound lost per day
New Years Day = Onederland!

Which would mean...

Itsy teeny weenie minute Muffin Tops...

But until then...They keep shrinking!

OMG, Alpha, I love the "spooning leads to forking," I am totally stealing that!

TurkeyMan, congrats a million times over on the 80# club! You won't be there long, so don't get too comfy!

Your calculations made me do some of my own, and I am averaging just shy of 1/2 pound a day on this, and since I'm a woman, I have 100% confidence that you can keep up those averages and hit your goals!

You're rocking it out, WildTurkey, so keep on keepin' on!
