Sarge's Bring It To Lose It Spring Challenge

[NH_Free]

Texas - I bet you'll be on that scale 3 times today.

Good luck, I hope you make it tomorrow! You too, Freeman.

jumpstart - step aWAY from the nibblies! Eat that healthy stuff, it's just as filling.

Garden - you have any loons down there yet? No way would I go without my bedtime snack. I trim back dinner to make sure I leave room for it. I can't get to sleep on an empty stomach.

kittycity - watch in case it starts to turn into a bacterial infection at the end. The last flu I had ended up in bronchitis and I was sick for a month before I realized it wasn't the flu anymore. Had to get some antibiotics to kill it. Hope you feel better tomorrow!

[Texas Cowgirl]

2 x already! 4:30 pm 180! gotta run. @ Red Lobster

[kittycitygirl]

Woohoo Texas will be in the 70s territory soon!

Will watch for that! I used to get some nasty bronchitis! Don't need that!

Hunger/urge to eat is returning....that is a good sign.

Hey troops!

We are headed up to PA for the wedding tomorrow, so I have been super busy getting everything ready and packed to go.

I have been maintaining my weight pretty well, but ready to get back to losing when I get back home.

Kitty feel better!

"See" you all on Monday!

Wait until everyone sees you!
There will be compliments galore, I bet!

[kittycitygirl]

May have missed it, what part of PA?

Have a safe trip and be ready for all the compliments!

The wedding is in Wrightsville...just outside of York.

[kittycitygirl]

Dang...wrong end of PA!

Have fun!

[marylouise]

When do we record our weight??

[kittycitygirl]

Thursdays...wont be long!

[Texas Cowgirl]

Was good while dining out tonight -- had broiled seafood platter (300 cals) but boxed half of it, had broccoli and garden salad with pico de gallo instead of dressing! Completely stayed away from appetizers, desserts, drinks, and those terrible Cheddar cheese biscuits!

Hope to see good results tomorrow!

Have fun at the wedding, Gremom! "See" everyone else tomorrow! Feel better, Sarge!

[kittycitygirl]

You deserve a drop after being so good TX!

[PghPALady1974]

Saying Good Morning!

[jumpstart24]

Good Morning....

I had a good day yesterday.
I don't think I've lost this week, but I'll count maintaining as a victory for me.
Now, I need to get back on the losing track.

How are you feeling today, Kitty?

Morning PA Lady - Have a great one.

Tex...You're making good choices! I hope the scale will be kind to you tomorrow!

[freeman525]

NH-Thanks for the encouragement. I am down 1.5 pounds to 181 this morning. Go TC!

Janice

[Texas Cowgirl]

Sarge! I made it! I'm in 70s Territory! 178.5! What a whoosh! Freeman, give me your hand and I'll pull you in beside me! You're almost here, too!

Sarge, I hope you're feeling better today, but just take it easy and take good care of your body while you are recuperating.

Jumpstart, maintaining can be very good too. I hope I can just maintain now for about a week -- please just get me through the weekend
(4-day trip for us with lots of enemy foods lurking!)!

NH, I think the count was 5x yesterday. And today I'm so excited I may just spend the day in my "birthday suit" standing on the scales!

to PghPALady, Garden, marylouise, and everyone! I hope Gremom has a great time on the wedding trip!

.....Happy Dance for you, Tex.

[Garden]

Struggling to stay away from food - good and bad !!!! Maintaining the same old weight - WHERE'S MY WHOOSH !!!!!!!!!!!!

Kitty -You need to start feeling better....doctor visit may be in order...

Texas - I am so excited for you !!! WTG with the drop !!!!

Stacy - Have a safe trip traveling north and enjoy your slimness, family and friends !!!

NH - It's finally raining here after 2 months of dryness! And only 60 degrees. No loons down here unless your talking about the 2 legged kind !

To everyone else - hope tomorrow brings a WHOOSH for all !!!!

[cprcheetah]

Good Morning! I am seriously SHOCKED I had a loss this morning. I had WAY too much chinese food at the buffet, and darn those almonds I ate an entire bag of them....WAY too much! I really think it's the green tea I have been drinking that's kicked my metabolism into high gear....finally! But I'll take it!

[Texas Cowgirl]

Great going, Cheetah! I'm glad the Whoosh came to see you too!

Hopefully, she'll come to everyone before weigh-in tomorrow!

[NH_Free]

Way to go, Tex! Your husband will think you lost it, standing on the scale naked all day. Couldn't have been easy being good at Red Lobster!

cheetah - what happened?! You lose your grip 2 days before the hubby gets home? You're lucky though, I can't eat Chinese anything without at least a pound of water gain.

Garden - patience! It might take a few days to undo that marina trip.

jumpstart - good girl!

Come on, Janice - only 2 lbs., suck down that water!!

I re-lost the same 1/2 lb. I lost on Monday. Didn't cheat and had low calories and carbs, so it was just the whoosh fairy messing with me. I've been up since 2:30 though, so it's gonna be hard to make my food stretch today!

[JillAnne]

Texas Cowgirl--- ROCK ON!!! WTG! Janice is coming up behind you, keep her covered!

Stacey- You have worked so hard--- enjoy your trip!

I am not good with change and am a once weekly weigher. I weighed in this morning and the news was good. Excited to share but will wait for the correct day....!!!!

[kittycitygirl]

Yay! Texas is in!!! Woohoo!!! Just what I needed to see! Janice! You're next! Get your bootie in there! I'll help cover you! Pull her Texas!

Thanks for the well wishes troops. I think I'm on the other side of it now. Appetite is back. No tmi issues for 24 hours now. Still hearing threats as it is retreating, but I think I have his battle won! Now, to get back to normal feeling. Know the cough will hang on...typically does....that, I can deal with....for a short bit! Better than tmi!

[Texas Cowgirl]

Thanks for all of your congrats, Sarge and troops! Glad you're finally on the mend, Sarge!

All together, everyone! I have Janice's hand. I'll pull and everyone else pull, push, shove!!! She's almost there!!! Only 1.5 or 2 pounds would do it!!!

Whooshes for Janice & everybody tomorrow!

[kittycitygirl]

Dangling some bacon over here as an incentive!

Hate to see my weight tomorrow at weigh in, but it is what it is....know I'm soaking up water weight....thirsty and not P'ing often. Will be stay puff soon!

[cprcheetah]

NH Free.....um no just MEGA MEGA stressed with work right now, no location to go to.....and we were supposed to be out today.....but we have something in the works now. I'm just glad the whoosh fairy decided to pay me a visit, just in time for the hubbs to come home. I am a big time stress eater so how I've managed to lose any weight at all the past 10 days is beyond me LOL, but I'll take it. I've tried to stay as strong as possible just having a few moments of temporary insanity/weakness.

I think Jez wanted to be on there too, but she didn't give a starting weight.

cheetah - you did good then, considering! I'm a terrible stress eater too and I almost lost it last night! I paid $2300 for truck repairs (including a new exhaust system) just before Easter. Last night, when I was moving stuff to storage, my exhaust system fell apart and the truck got LOUD. Embarassingly, ticket-worthy loud. My mechanic said they brought him the wrong parts and I assumed he sent them back for the right ones... WRONG - he used the parts anyway and tried to cob them together on there. I could just strangle him. I have one week to move out of here and about 15 places I need to go! I have to try to do it all today, so the truck can go back in the shop. When I got back to the house, I walked in and thought "I need a drink!", followed by "I need something sweet to eat!". Ugh... guess I've been having that response to stress for most of my life. I didn't cave, but it was hard. Especially the drink part.

Good luck everyone, hope the whoosh fairy is good to you!
