Tiggerkeeper!!! 
Yep, you're on to the next 20!!!! And it will FLY by!!! Exercise is the key...if we maintain some moderate level of exercise we may have some weeks of stalls but we definitely will have WHOOSH weeks, too!!! Water, exercise, eating well....and you'll be there soon!!!!
Toystoryduo...I'm soooo sorry your dd's are sick! I really hate seeing mine under the weather...they are just so helpless and pitiful and not bright and shining like we want them to feel..I hope they're feeling better and I hope things turn around for dh's job...we've got to help you forget those late night munchies!!! One thing that sometimes works for me is hunger pains! Now, I know I'm not starving myself but after 8pm I usually start to get hungry...because we eat dinner at 5:30...I just love those hunger pains because I know that if I don't eat anything my body will start using my fat for food! So drink some water and read the girls a good book....mine loved "The Princess and the Goblin" or any of the "Little House on the Prairie series"....that will take your mind off eating late!
Especially if you read, "The Long Winter" and see how they survived with practically nothing! You can do this!!!
HINative...Thanks for the tip on bringing the old shoes!!! I'm going today..will let you know! Keep up the great training!!! 
Christie!!! YEAH!!!
Looser pants!!!! That's what we like to hear!!! That waist will be whittling down for tuck in shirts!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Goldcupmom... .6 pounds is GREAT!!!! Especially for the first week in keeping with the exercise...your body adds water to help nourish the muscles you're creating and if you keep this up and eat the same amount of food I PROMISE you that scale will be showing 2-3 pounds each week!!! The first 2-3 weeks of beginning an exercise schedule is hard on your body...you will be losing inches though so don't forget to measure that....you're a great motivator for me....I'm finally getting out and doing my first full 4-miler outside in probably 10 weeks! Let's make exercise a habit we won't want to break!!!
Kathy...don't fret about the upper body exercises...you must take it easy...one of those tricep lifts tore my shoulder coricoid process...PAINFUL! I don't think I'll every try that one particular machine again...and sometimes it takes 3-6 months for your body to heal so give yourself some time...those other big muscles (legs/tushie/abs) will burn more calories than your arms anyhow...so anything for those will help you make the scale move!!
Debbie!!! I went to bed very early last night or I would have been on here cheering you away from eating!!! No food after 7 means more pounds gone!!! I hope you had a successful night and you did GREAT with the cookie...atleast there was protein and chocolate in it..much better than a sugar cookie with all that icing! Make today a veggie day...all those veggies will knock out any effects of the sugar! You can do this!!!
Christy!!!
3 pounds is a HUGE week for one week!!! WOWZERS!!! You will BE in the 170's next week! Can't wait for you to scream with excitement when you see that number!!!! That's sooo close to the 150's!!! Let's go get 'em!!!
Linda!! You 160's BABE!! Sending you major pixie dust for a manageable weekend with daughter! AND WOWEE on the great habit of exercising you've created this week!!! That takes lots of discipline and get off your seat and do it enthusiasm!!! I think it's contagious!! You guys are convincing me to add some more in!!! THANKS!!!!
As for me...I always do this on weigh day...I just am so thankful I stayed on plan for the 6 days prior (or atleast mostly!) that I kind of reward myself by not having to "fix" the right foods...I had 2 puffy cheetos...because I wanted them no other good reason..15 semi-sweet chocolate chips...and a taco salad..(the rest of my meals were wheat toast and deviled eggs/carrots) .taco salad is not bad in a big sense but it always pushes my scale up the next day because of all the sodium....but I'm walking my 4 miles today and we're having another showing on the house...my sweet dd (6) wants to donate her long hair to Locks of Love (that'll be sweet and inspire me!) and I'm going to get new walking shoes...so all that will keep me out of my cheeto infested pantry!
Onwards & Downwards GANG!!! We're making big DENTS in this weight loss journey!!!

And my official cheat day is April 14th...I've never scheduled a cheat day...is yours monthly? I would love to have one day where I just don't watch what I eat...I'm giving up certain foods for 100 days and April 14th will be that day...so I'm staying strong until then....
