I wouldn't call it competitive weight loss, I’d call it a motivation to behave and stay on track during Holiday Eating trendy times a reason to not put that candy bar in your mouth. A reason to drink more water and take your daily vitamins! We have moved past the chocolaty Holiday with the Pie Holiday right around the corner!

I guess it is competitive if you competing on who’s going to last the longest without eating too much pie! LOL I’m just playin’

I told him that I was doing the same thing as I was before the challenge. Only now I was telling others my results each week. I am working my band to the best of my ability regardless of a competition. I am just happy to have 24/7 support here, my docs office only meets once each month and it is 45 mins from my house. ~Mandy

HI Nana & everyone. Well I am leaving out of town again:0( I will have zero computer access for a least the next two weeks. So since I am so low on the toetum(spelling?) pole I will stop posting. I have enjoyed the venture with everyone & can't wait to see who is the big winner. I will still be cheering you all on & I hope to see some huge results 3 weeks from now:0) Keep up all the great work! WHHOOOT WHOOTT!

Monday, November 7, 2005:-

Weight - 186.9

Under Bust - 33.5

Waist - 32

Hips - 45.5

Aunt Flo ensured I didn't lose as much as I'd have liked to this week LOL, but that's okay, cause I stacked on two kilos during the week and had them back off before weigh-in today.
