Monday is my weigh-in day and I lost 2.7 pounds last week!!! My body tends to plateau then drop, plateau then drop, so I'm relieved and excited to see a loss! I've now lost 40.8 pounds of the regain!

Congratulation on the loss... Great job.

Awesome Job!!!!!

WTG!!!  That's great, Tigs.  I do the same, plateau then drop.  I just wait it out while I make small adjustments.  It works :)

Good afternoon, BOTT friends,

 

Wow!!  It's after noon on Tuesday, and I'm just posting for Monday.  Gotta do it, or I feel "incomplete", lol.  Ran around in the storms, trying to complete the shopping for my son's care package.  He's in Japan (Navy), and deployed from his base there.  I put together a big box of goodies, and I've been told it could take as long as 2 wks for him to receive it, so I was trying to get it out asap.

B:  vanilla protein shake made with hazelnut flavored black coffee, 1/4 c low fat half & half

L:  3.5 ozs low sodium deli ham, sandwich thin, 1 sl deli cheese, 2 tsps mayo, lettuce, tomato

S:  2 c watermelon cubes
