I've been reducing the rodent population in an agrarian community at the behest of the working folks of that community. It results in increased profits and the feeding of numerous pairs of eagles both golden and bald.No access to e-mail or a scale. I'll see where I am today

holy cow...no carbs works for you! I couldn't manage a diet like that with how much I am working out. You've got some awesome willpower going!

Hi Dawn, I forgot to mention in the general area that I have lost 2 pounds for this week. Good luck for next week and look out for Tammi. She is closing in on me again!

Because I stayed out of the Valentine candy - didn't get any either, I was able to drop the weight so I don't owe this week. However, I have Valentine's Day to thank for the $$$ for all those of you who indulged. Next week will be tougher. I have a luncheon today, birthday dinner Friday, birthday lunch Monday....egads!

Dawne,
Are there any competitions coming up? I have gained all my weight back and am REALLY depressed :(
I can't get myself motivated on my own, however. If we could do another one, that will be like a great gift.
This time, I really want to keep the weight I lose. :((
