Had week 4 weigh in today (although not officially a full month as I started on 10/01) and this week I've lost 6.6lbs which is a total loss in just under a month of 28.7lbs. So from my starting weight of 228 I'm now under 200lbs (199.3lbs) which is a nice landmark to hit just short of a month in. So I'm now a third of the way through my 3month target had a few big tests biggest being my sons bday, but I've got another bday coming up middle of feb just after valentines day where we are going as a family to tgi Fridays one of my favourite places to go for food my usual dish was a full rack of jack Daniel ribs mmmmm at this moment in time I know I won't be having that I'd like to think I will have nothing but I spoke to my councillor about this and worst case senario I'll have plain chicken and salad/veg.

Hi Greeva,
Congrats on getting below 200! What a great feeling that must be.
You could click on userCP and update your stats so that it'll show the % of weight you've lost towards your goal. I am struggling with the math here: are you nearly half-way to goal?
I think the chicken and salad is a good plan (it is like an 810 meal). And, I think you are supposed to still have 3 CD products for the nutrition.
Also, if you feel full part way through, don't feel you have to finish it. Leaving food when you are no longer truly hungry (no matter how much you paid for it) is a good skill to practice.
BTW, I like TGIFridays too -- but then I'm American. I like most food places. lol
I hope the rest of your weekend goes well.

Looks Good, Greeva. Did you lower your goal weight?
My DH wants to weigh around 155 to 160 and he is 5'6". He is down to 178 ATM. He has lost 22 pounds since the New Year. He is doing South Beach... I was late starting dinner tonight (working in DD's room) and the smell of rosemary chicken and roasted sweet potatoes is making me very CRANKY. Hence the new avatar... cranky me!

Hi Greeva,
I "repped" for your helpful post for Mishi -- it was very good information.
My DH is kind of broadshoulder and big chested. When we met he was a weight lifter and had no neck. Did not care for that look -- but I have missed the six pack he used to have. (But, then I'm 24 years older and two kids later, myself.)

Hi mishi if you go user cp along the top edit signature then just type in your goals underneath your ticker and save the signature will show up under all your posts once it's saved - that should sort it
Howdy, I gave this a go but it says I cannot write more than 500 characters including my ticker thingie?? hmmm x

Mishi, I found that too! But I'm mega confused as some people have the equivalent of war and peace wrote in their signatures! Let me know if you work it out hun! x

Hi there...just wanted to tell you that you achieved a great obstacle on your son's birthday a few weeks ago...it's inspiring...I for one, give myself too many excuses, which is why I have been obese for ten years...and like Minnie Mel, I am an American who loves to eat EVERYTHING!!!!
Confession: I started Jan 17 th my CD ss and fell off the wagon after week two...
Solution: getting on back CD on Saturday...I will do this...we all can do this!
