I would like to Thank my Wife, My family, My Mom and Dad...LOL...I am kidding. Thank you Daisy for organizing the friendly challange. I had a great week on AMAW, and while I did great..I think I did so well because of my shortcomings the week or so prior. I am glad I was introduced to AMAW as I will use it as a tool moving forward to help right the ship when necessary.
Thanks, Mike
OHMIGOSH!!! I WON! Well... technically I came in 2nd... but wow!!! And it was relatively easy (after the first day & a half). And more than a week later, I've kept off 5 of my 7.4 pounds. I'm actually very proud of that. 
And I agree, Daisy - look at all that hard work you put in. Thank you so much for for being our gracious MC. AMAW-C rocks, and I can't wait for the next one!!! Congratulations to all the challengers.

Daisy thank you for setting this all up. I can just imagine how much work it is.
It was an eye opener being held accountable for everything that went into my mouth. I have stuck to plan 99% since then and lost another 1.5 lbs. I did have a bit of a minor set back Sunday and Monday when I baked hand apple pies and an apple pie filled pull apart bread. I had a 1/2 cup of a hand pie and two bites of the bread. Very good, but I did feel like crap afterwards.
As a matter of fact eating my lunch which is filet mignon. Will be heading hopefully to my special supermarket in RI this weekend to stock up on rib eye and tenderloin. Both on sale again.
