No change again this week. :-(

I'm curious if anyone has a BMI target goal? Or does everyone strictly look for a number on the scale?

My current BMI is in the middle of the healthy range, but I'm looking to be at the low end of the healthy range.

Down 2.4 pounds this week! WOO-HOO!
I find that, now that I am 60, every pound gone is the result of hard work and really concentrating on what goes in my mouth. Sweet cravings are gone, pretty much, and I don't even think about anything fatty.
I have on a pair of pants that didn't fit me 2 months ago, and I have stopped my acid reflux Rx, that I have been on for years.
Feeling great and very osptimistic. If I stay on plan, I'm okay.

What a nice surprise! I am down 3 pounds! I weighed myself a few days ago and the weight was still the same, so I was a bit worried. haha!

Long story short, I stopped MWl-ing about 2.5 years ago and was trying to just Mcdougall to keep my weight down for but I've slowly gained 20lbs! Whole grain breads, soy milk, nuts every now and then (which turns into 4days a week...), lots of olives in my salads...lots&lots of vegan home baked goods!! At one point I was going to PCC and getting a Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookie almost everyday! That probably did 1/2 my weight gain!! So Anyways! This week I started MWL again and I've lost 2lbs!!!

2lbs Loss! Yay!

Currently - 135.4 lbs
Goal - 120 lbs

I've been out of town the past couple of weekends and didn't get a chance to check in. As it was, I didn't lose anything during that time.

Finally I am back and happy to report that I am down 3 pounds.

Amy, I am so happy for you. Congratulations!

I would really like to get to ONEderland this month.

As to your BMI question I read somewhere that McDougall thinks we should be at the lower end of our healthy BMI zone.

From my last weigh-in I'm down 2.4 pounds though my Friday weight doesn't necessarily reflect that. But I weigh in on Wednesdays so I'm keeping it!

Keep on trucking everybody!

I am still not posting weight. I am up significantly just now. However, I am sure it's water retention due to the salt rinses my dentist is making me do. This is just while my pain is way up from a dental procedure. I thought maybe I could forgo the rinse and did drop down more tan 4 pounds but the pain doubled so back to the salt water. Dang it, I am not even swallowing it - but also retain when I have high pain just generally. So all and all I don't want to skew our progress from a temporary uncontrollable weird thang!

Everyone seems to be doing really well and that is soooo good to see!

Just wondering IMG if you have ever tried GSE (Grape seed extract)...it is excellent for a mouth rinse ,it's a natural antibiotic My husband and I have been using it for years....heals abscessed gums, tooth infections etc...Our dentist is always amazed when an abscessed tooth has healed so quickly. They don't seem to get onto it themselves for some reason! .Google it and you'll see many amazing things about GSE.! It's the best in my opinion. The way people use it, one puts maybe 10 drops in a small bottle of water and rinse or swish your mouth with it as many times as you can during the day.The more you do it the faster the healing. It's edible so no need to worry about swallowing ,it's also good for turista too! Rinse after every time you eat too. good luck.

Weight the same again this week haven't really been on a losing streak the last couple of weeks....despite my intentions. Still 118lb
