kg--congratulations! WELCOME to ONEderland!!!

I got up early today and ran 2 miles (at 5:45am) just to get myself going. WOW, I feel great! I plan on doing that everyday before summer school, so I figured I should get into the groove now. I'm planning on doing a 6 mile run tonight after work. Tomorrow is weigh-in and measuring, wish me luck! Think thin for me.

KG, WOW! Congratulations on leaving the 2's forever. Oh, how I dream of that too. 15 more to go before that.

Good luck with the house and the move.

YAYYY Nicole!

I'm hoping to break that 1/3 mark tomorrow. So far I'm at 4.5 pounds. I'd like to be over 5 at this time tomorrow. This challenge will be cutting it close, but I think I can do it by July 4!

Thanks Shan. I'm glad you could upload your pic. I'm still trying to post mine but no luck. Maybe a good samaritan will come by and help me......LOL!

Dinner is pork roast marinated with a little olive oil, pepper and paprika. Oh, and green salad ofcourse.

Shan, if I marinate steak, I usually put it in Italian dressing. Sounds strange, but Italian dressing is a great marinade! I mix it with hot sauce all the time for chicken breasts.

Hi Joy!

Maybe you can help me add my picture to my signature. I went to Photo bucket and uploaded some pics there but I couldn't copy the link to the ADBB tab. It's telling me it's too big but it actually isn't. Could you help me.

The only thing I was able to do is paste the link directly to my signature but that didn't help. Thanks.

Nevermind Joy. I got help already. A good samaritan came by and saved my day...


Now I'm just trying to figure out how to make it a little bit smaller.

i'm going to weigh in on monday if that's ok. I'm going to have a great few next days to get a good weigh in. i do have a fear of the scale. Does anyone else fear the scale too?

Re: Set off the Fireworks"- Lose 15 pounds by July 4th! A new

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH yes! Most people on ADBB talk about how they weigh 8372 times a day, where as I, if left to my own devices, would never ever want to weigh myself. But it's getting easier, especially when I know the number will be favorable. I make myself weigh once a week, on Friday mornings.
