Hi girls! i stayed the same this week which I am relieved about b/c it has been family and food and drinking nonstop with my aunt passing and mother's day.

Erica - whenever i start lifting i ALWAYS gain a bit right away so i am sure you are doing great!

Look at me about to use the multiquotes, never figured this out before.

Well I put them on today and they fit!! They're still a little snug in the waist, but not horrible. I was so excited, especially since I've been feeling crappy because the scale isn't moving!

I actually did do the drink water tip and wait 10minutes, but i was so hungry yesterday that i ate a bowl of multi grain cheerios with skim milk. Which i think wasn't too bad.

Then I go to catch a fly ball in the outfield last night and instead of catching it with my glove it hits my forearm so it looks like a softball burned an imprint on my forearm..ha It's going to be ugly tomorrow. Thank god I have some serious time after softball season to recuperate all my bruises. Plus, I know I won't feel like exercising with my leg very seriously for awhile. So it sucks!! I guess I'll just have to walk.

i'm actually down 3.5lbs this week, but i don't know how. i ate like a pig this weekend. i think it's the colonix working. Well i don't know what it is and i don't care as long as the scale keeps going down.

Nice job Danielle!!

I am down 1.5. Not great, but that's okay...I just need to lose this every week and that's 12 lbs in the competition right?

i never thought of looking at it like that Janet, 12lbs would be great.

Nice job Janet and Danielle! And you're right, 12 pounds would be GREAT!

Jill - congrats on the linen pants!!! That's awesome!!! Have you been taking your measurements? That always helps me when the scale stops moving...

So, I'm down 7 pounds this week. Yup - 7 pounds. I'm super excited as this is the lowest I've weighed in 4 years (when FI and I met), but 7 pounds in 1 week is a bit extreme! But I've been approaching this go around differently than I've ever approached a weight loss attempt so it seems to be working. I just hope it's not all water weight, because water weight comes right back! But I probably sweated out 3 pounds after my workout last night.

I just took my measurements and I'm down 3 inches in my bust, 1.5 inches in my waist, and 2 inches in my hip/butt area. Of course the boobs are always the first to go... GRRR.

They say healthy weight loss is about 2 pounds a week, so while I'm excited about this, I'm a bit concerned! But I've been killing myself in my workouts, so I'm glad it wasn't all for nothing! But I'm just going to start psychologically preparing for my inevitable plateau!

Everyone is doing great this week!

I've updated the first post with the list of participants, and the total jackpot amount .... $450!!

There's some motivation for you all!

ButlerGirl08 (Alex) is joining in on the fun, but since she joined late and didn't pay the fee in time she isnt' eligible to win. But she's part of the group for the support and motivation.

And as you all probbaly know, RiuBride2b had to drop out since her weight will only be going up for the next 9 months - since she's pregnant! YAY! But she still paid the fee, and chose to leave it in the pot for the winner.

This is going to be a great season!
