  “Oh, dear God.  Do NOT watch "Food Inc."  I do not think that I'm ever going to be able to eat meat that is not organic and locally butchered ever again.  I watched it last night and then went out ot lunch today and had to order arroz con pollo with extra veggies and no pollo, lol.  ”

  “LW 142.6 TW 143.2   I was expecting this (which I condiser not gaining).  My best friend was in town from Japan for a week and I didn't really watch my calories or anything.  I didn't make stupid choices, but I wasn't vigilant either.   I'm still riding the high of getting into some of my favorite old pants that I bought in 2005 and have not work in ages.  Woohoo!   I am back in the game, liking my running challenge with Sharon and now watching my sugar intake b/c it has been WAY too high.  Still loving my weight loss so far...about 10 pounds, and gearing up to do more.”

  “Wow, I love you guys.  I actually cried from all the love and support I got from all of you.  I am feeling a bit better b/c I found another pair of pants in my closet that I haven't been able to wear in ages that fit again.  I think I may start being a mean person and telling those people in my life to just go to .  I am down from a size 10 in October, when I started DP to almost a size 6 today, and I'm flipping proud of it dammit!     I'm not smoking, I've really, really cut back on my drinking, I'm saving money b/c of both of those things and I'm healthier and I just need to tell people who bring me down that they are mean and that I'm happy for myself.   jmcorrigan1: Thank you for some perspective.  I am SO SORRY that you have such a hateful mother-in-law.  She really sounds awful and shouldn't be treating you that way.  What a jerk.  I wish I could give you a big hug right now (and her a poke in the eye). Wow, I'm feeling fistey today :-)  POWER TO ALL OF US!!!!  Thank you my weeklies. ”

  “I was all excited b/c I was able to wear a pair of pants last Friday that I have not been able to wear in over a year and that are my goal size.  In my excitement, I told a family friend this and he said, "well, that's b/c that pair is already stretched out".   *cry*.  THEN yesterday I had a friend tell me I looked good and I told her about being able to get into that size pant and her friend, who is a 4'10" and obsessive dieter said, "Well, I'm a size 4 and I still have belly fat, so you can't go off your pant size. I feel like this should have been a good weekend for me, yet everywhere I turned was people ruining it.  I went to the store and tried on various pants in my goal size and about 1/4 of them fit, which I guess means I really shouldn't be too happy about it, but still, it would have been nice to have some support instead of getting torn down.  ”

  “LW: 143.6 TW: 142.6 Loss, 1 pound.   I'm okay witht his considering I've been sitting on my butt sick for the past 5 days.  I went to the gym (go me!) Friday and worked out for an hour.  I ran 25 minutes, almost killed myself, need to pace it out better, and then worked out on my arms the rest of the time.  Have not been back considering how sick I've been, but hope to go tomorrow or Friday depending on how I feel.”

  “Okay, I will be going to the gym tonight to workout before I go out to dinner to make up for the calories I'm going to eat.  My goal is to run for an hour and burn 600 calories.   I will then go to the gym in the morning and workout before going to make t-shirts with my friends for Superbowl. Sunday I will workout before going to Sammy Lou's first b-day party.   My goal is to burn 600 calories at each workout.   Bunny, this is my adjustment.”
