    Good Job, I see posting your weight as accountablity. Before I would have been nervous that everyone would judge me but then when I think about it again, this is the one group of girls that actually can understand my life (dancing).

    I've been sick all weekend so I hope all I lost wasn't water weight, I'll post my weight when I get back from the gym.

    I hope you are feeling better - perhaps you should not exercise too vigorously after being sick... take care of yourself, use some vitamin C - it really helps in the flue season

    Good job Candice! Your determination is really motivating – I was about to dig in the spaghetti I just made for dinner, but after reading this topic, I think I’d rather eat some apple sauce

    Some interesting info about the weight. Sorry if I am repeating something you already know:/

    * The average American woman is 5'4" tall and weighs 140 pounds.
    * The average American model is 5'11" tall and weighs 117 pounds.
    * Most fashion models are thinner than 98% of American women.
    * Four out of five American women say they're dissatisfied with the way they look.
    * On any given day, almost half of the women in the United States are on a diet
    *Americans spend over forty billion dollars a year on dieting and diet related product
    *More than one out of three "normal dieters" progress to pathological dieting. One fourth of those will suffer from partial or full syndrome eating disorders.
    [info partialy taken from Jean Kilbourne "Slilm hopes" DVD]

    ^ let's be careful with the diets

    I'm feeling better thanks for all the support.

    I went to the gym yesterday and did some light weight training, I love the feeling I have after I leave the gym. I started tanning full time again since it makes you look leaner, I figured it would keep me motivated. I've been eating very well. My SO has been grilling me lots of chicken breast and I've been making the veggies. I've been out of CLA for almost a week now, waiting for the new shipment to come in.

    How does everyone like to reward themselves for losing weight?

    I love the support group idea. I always do better when I have someone besides myself to 'report' to...(when I was in wrestling and had to weigh in everyday, I was very firmly 56kg). So...since I have the tiniest of frames (small wrists, narrow hips and ribcage), a thinner weight is what looks best on my body. I'm (for everyone non-metric) 5'8" and 141llbs currently and would like to get back to my ideal 56kg (125llbs). I love the ticker tape idea. Brilliant. Does anyone have any weight loss tips for someone with IBS? It really affects what I can eat and what I can't...since caffeine feels like draino on my gut, I am terrified of weight loss pills. Any good diet plans that allow for non-dairy, low-fat, but high soluble fibre (with moderate insoluble fibre)? I can't eat bran or wholewheat straight up...I generally have to add it on top of white rice or potatoes due to my crazy sensitive stomach...I suppose I should just cut calories and cut out sweets? Wish me luck!

    When I cut out dairy I noticed a ton of difference.

    Nice to see you ladies keeping up with your goals

    If I reach the goal target, I am definitely buying some new clothes and new make-up

    Today I was weighting myself - wouldn't you know - I lost 2 lbs I hope that is fat, not only water weight And the SW is one of the reasons I am doing well!

    To Mollyzmoon - I am used to metric system - doesn't it make you feel thinner though? I mean the difference when you think "I weight 50"(meaning kg) or "I weight 110".. just an interesting observation.

    ok, this is rather silly - but how do you adjust the weight in your ticker tape? cause I just created the new one:/ I am sure there has to be some more simple way to do it....

    I seem to get more upset about my eating than working out, I think it's becuase I know your diet is 80% of weight loss. If I get to upset I know I'll binge.

    I wish my problem was the eating:-( my problem is the exercising. My boyfriend and i went grocery shopping yesterday to get me some healthier food. yay for veggies. Anyone got any ideas on how i could persuade him to come with me to work or exercise in some manner. I like to go in the morning so i can have the energy for the rest of the day but hes big into staying up late and sleeping all day:-( any suggestions would be appreciated.

    your gals are all doing so well. It's really helping me to get on track and change, thanks:-D

    Yay! I lost another lb, maybe two. I can't really tell if my scale says 155 or 156. I need to step it up. I guess I picked 'study' over 'exercise' a little too much his week, b/c I think I could have done better than that.

    That is definately the best motivation, when other people finally start to notice! It feels so good!
