I beat you all this week so far and have lost about 8 pounds in two days!!!

Hehehehe - this is why I didn't weigh in last week because it's been crazy rain for us here in Northern California and due to my fibromyalgia I gain water weight like in the pounds overnight when the barometer is unsteady. Anyway, now I am just a pound up from where I left off before the storms and will be back with you Friday. Hopefully with a good loss number but just against my last posted weigh in figure.


That's from earlier in the week by Christmas Eve I was down 10.4 pounds in a week - I am sure it's water weight. Both Christmas Eve and Day I ate away from home. My Cousin Steve cooked "vegan" for me those days bless his heart, but this is California and wine and olive oil are worshiped - lots of oil and salt on my roasted veggies both days. So I bounced up a pound.

I am still not quite stable and think there is more water weight to go - so I am deferring this week and will weigh with you all again next week.

I did not gain nor lose this week. But, hey, it's holiday time! So I count that as a plus.

I will not be joining next month cause I'll be staying with some folks for several months. They are following the program, so I shouldn't have any problem with it. Will report back and rejoin the group February 1st.

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, new year and continued success. Happy McDougalling to all!

Happy New Year everybody!!!!

Thanks Debbie for giving us a 60 day challenge. I wasn't on course as much as I would hope and I was really challenged mentally when I was being good yet the weight was piling on. I had totally forgotten - during our California drought - that my fibromyalgia causes me to pack on water weight when the barometer goes down before storms. Why this is I have no idea - but we have more than a week without rain and low and behold that weight just dropped off steadily day by day.

I ended up loosing 8.4 pounds during this challenge - I was completely blindsided by that- and I have to say excited as all get out in the long run! I have to go back and see what my challenge goals were. I always go optimistic thinking when all things are perfect I can loose 2 pounds a week but realistically it's about 1 a week, when I am not doing major aerobics. I made that just and it feels good.

Lots of folks lost lots of weight during this and it was great to have a really committed group again. Honestly, I don't think I have ever come out of the Holidays without extra pounds! So it's the challenge and I really thank you for it! Oh and my Cousin - great cook that he is made a great couple of vegan dinners for me for Holiday days with family. Some oil but wow - how nice of him to do that :)

It looks like rain again on the ten day forecast next Thursday, :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: wouldn't you know just in time for our next weigh in and the first of 2015.

Best wishes to you all for the next best year of your lives - Michelle
