OH... Ya...

143 POUNDS! I can't believe I'm so excited about that number, but after sitting in the same spot (and even creeping up a bit to 146), I'm ecstatic to see progress at last!  Maybe this program (of which I have modified after all to allow MORE calories for breastfeeding) will help keep me in line!  It's definitely steered my choices into making the better option.  And, it's paid off by nearly 3 lbs.

I think I actually go into the challenge and weigh tonight, but I'm not sure and the weather is downright scary.  I will call and see what they want me to do.  If the challenge requires me to weigh in, I won't if there is a threat of tornadoes (severe weather seems imminent tonight). 

Now, I DO need to get back with my exercise - and I will.  I love running (and I hate it too), but it can wait if I'm actually losing.

The other question is - do I think the Herbalife Shakes are helping me lose weight - I'd have to say both Yes and No.  Yes, because I invested dollars into them and therefor committed myself.  No, because I know I could do it still without them, but I was lacking motivation and commitment and Yes because I'm competitive, a sucker for a good challenge and deal and because being kept accountable does help.  It helps a GREAT DEAL.  I've been on the other end of the accountability before - at Jenny Craig I weighed in others.  But, now that I'm on this end, I do feel added pressure do get results.  The last thing I want is to go into the center and NOT lose weight (and have to pay a dollar - only a dollar, but it's the whole fact you are getting penalized).

Current Weight:  143

Pounds to go:  15 (I would like to add that IDEALLY, I would like to get back to 122... so, if the weight loss goes well, the pounds to go might change)
