I had nice inch losses as well, and my weight has dropped back into its normal range (13. I know that it's settle there for a looooooong while, as that tens to be a setpoint for me. Putting the scale away-- I promised myself no weighing, as the scale tends to discourage me!

Greetings, Fellow Challengers!

Weigh day today - 1 pound lost since last Wednesday, for a total of 2 pounds lost since beginning the challenge on July 4th.

I am not going to do measurements until the end of the challenge. For me, I find that they can be discouraging. Maybe it's from not measuring in exactly the same place each time, or maybe pulling a different amount of tension on the tape... but I just don't see satisfactory results when I measure often. I do, however, see great progress "inches" wise from my clothes, so I have been "measuring" that way.

Still eating at 45 net carbs... I was going to up it to 50 this week, but since I only had a 1 pound loss for each of the last 2 weeks, I am going to hold out at 45 for another week. TOM finally graced me with his presence day before yesterday after being missing in action for 19 days, so that may be what has affected my losses. I also have been a little low on water for the past 2 days. So, I am going to hang in there at 45 and see what happens over the next week.

Keep up the great, great work everyone.

Mitzi, you are doing such a fabulous job with OWL. I think we could all take a few pointers from you--great job! I love that you are precise and methodical. After all, this *IS* a science...or is it an art? Maybe a bit of both.

Liz--YAY! Now, don't ever measure in the middle of the afternoon again, y'hear? Congrats on 5.5 inches, that's great--and you did it WITHOUT resorting to sleeping in a turtleneck.

OK, I was going to wait but I saw a preview of the awards, and they just look too friggin' sweet to keep it a secret!

Our very own selfreinvented has created BOTH a *GOAL* award and a *PARTICIPATION* award for those who complete the challenge. If this man isn't in graphic design, he should be! They look great, and I will be proud to hand these out, come Labor Day. So keep watching...I might just give you a preview in the upcoming weeks!
