YOU CAN DO IT. And so can the rest of you.And THAT goes for me too.especially me too.I been dillydallying long enough at the 160LB range.I moved 3 pounds this month,so am working hard at it.You can do it too.If we can.nancia and I will be battling for the finish line when she gets down to where I am now.I know she can do it,she's done it already,and is doing it now.Like all of you are.Just the fact that we are all here is the right step in the direction we are going.It's time to stop the baby steps,and start moving down the scales.That's what I told myself yesterday.And I'm bound and determined I'm going to finish this to the end,I may not be running and skipping,but even if I have to crawl all the way down,I'm going to finish this!Now,as nancia says,lets all take an oar an start paddling down stream!I'm in,how bout you?nancia's in,anybdyy else?yes,yes,good.Let's get these challenges out of the way so we can continue on...............

According to the WW system you are better off eating a little bit of chocolate.
