And for me, at least, they suck! I am very disappointed by this week's weigh-in, having lost only 3 lbs - I was sure against sure that I had done better than that. I am especially disappointed since I "cheated" on day 3 and weighed myself then - it showed I'd lost 4 lbs, so to end the week with a loss of only 3 lbs is a BIG disappointment. Still, if nothing else it shows me that I really shouldn't cheat if I don't want to be upset on weigh-in day!
Mom lost 4.5 lbs, and Eileen 4, so we're all pretty much in the same area - we're beginning to think that perhaps 12 lbs as our first goal was a bit of a reach!!
I think for me the big thing HAS to be exercise. I've cut my calorie intake by at least 1/3 if not 1/2, and have DRASTICALLY increased my fresh fruit intake - up from basically nothing to at least 2 - 3 portions / day with the fruit salad. Eileen has agreed to lend me her bicycle (which she doesn't use anyway), so I'm going to start cycling to work - it's 9/10s of a mile each way, and I figure that if I ride to & from work, and ride home on my (hour-long) lunch break, that would give me all but 4 miles of bike riding exercise a day - a start at least.... I will definitely need to do more, though, if I'm to meet my goals for this challenge...

That is awesome Esther! You should be proud of that loss! And the biking is great! I wish I had somewhere to bike but around here I would probably end up dog food or road kill :(
