Deal!  I’ve been watching the recent chats so it’s nice to “meet” several of you whose progress I’ve followed.  Here I go!

Back again after my birthday and the resulting sidetrack.  155.0 this morning, onward!

Gayle, after your day in the city!!!  Good Job!!!

Thank you ladies

Week 1 results: down 9 lbs

Im so happy!  I was a little concerned about my bite-size with the three food meals I had so yesterday I only did half a snickers for lunch and dinner each, Just for good measure. I was amazed how doable that was. It’s a good tool in the toolbox.

Above that should say not*weighing* until Thursday

I have two perfect snicker days under my belt, and feel very good. Today will be snickers again, tomorrow I will start food. Not waiting until Thursday.

Yes, Beth, and finishing strong day #2 post Mother’s Day!  5 bites bacon for lunch, and 5 bites of burger for dinner.  Tea and a book ahead.  (Then lots of housekeeping  )

Yes, Beth, let’s RUN!!!  Every meal is an opportunity to be perfect
