Heather, Thanks for the congrats on my race! 1 stinkin pound ... I'm guessing you ate something salty!!!????? CONGRATS ON YOUR 126 POUND LOSS hugs, Britt

Alright--here's the ugly truth. I gained three pounds and deserved every one of them!! I started out the week so good but as the week went on I was less careful. As a matter of fact, it was weird when I had to think about what to take for my lunch this morning. I was still looking for the 24-hour buffet! Not only that but when I threw my wet towels on the bathroom floor nobody picked them up! They are still there! Dang! Reality sucks! Starting Weight: 234 Last week: 143 (normal BMI) This week 146 (no longer normal!) Total Weight Loss: 88 But on the bright side my all of my size 6 shorts still fit and I'm looking forward to a great workout at the gym tonight! I WILL SUCCEED!
