Losing 4 lbs a week this far into the diet is truly an accomplishment. You are sticking with this in an amazing way. Are we going to see a bikini shot in a couple of months? ;) 

You are approaching the 50 lb. marker....Imagine how your body thanks you for kicking THAT to the curb.....You're doing incredible! Keep it up! 

I here you about the weekend. Keep it going! 

Congrats on the 4lbs lost this past week! Just wanted to remind you not to always give up on your diet on the weekends. I was researching alcohol and what I could and couldn't drink on my diet. Unfortunatly I have to give up the pina coloda's lol. I found the nutritional facts for alcohol on the atkins website! Although you aren't doing atkins I believe that slim fast is about calories. If I am wrong .. sorry I dont know much about it. Either way here is the line.. check it out! http://www.atkins.com/carb-counter/?category=Alcohol GO WHITE CORVETTES! 

Thank you all - I still can hardly believe how far I've come! Regarding the weekend thing - I don't actually give up on my diet completely (that would be a complete disaster!). I'm just not as strict as I am during the week. On the Slim Fast plan, there's no ban on alcohol, and I don't count carbs at all, only calories. Their guidelines are to include up to three 100 calories snacks each day, so I try to stick to just one per day during the week and then use my saved allowance for wine! Seems to have worked so far! :) 

LeeAnn, I haven't had any alcohol since I've been on the plan, I'm afraid it will make my hungry. I seem to have no willpower when I drink, however, I do miss my cocktails. Roxann 

You are so much more of a woman than I will ever be...Cardio?! What the hell is that? That's a cuss word in my house!! :O I admire you!!! After 2 kids back to back my belly is my problem. Everyone says, "Do sit-ups!" Sit ups? Girl please, I'll sit up to grab a doughnut or to look for the remote!! That's a bout it! 

4 pounds, wow! Pat yourself on the back!!! 

Thank you for your comments! Roxann - once again, the not letting alcohol lead to snacking is a skill I am working on! I'm also gradually cutting back on the amount I do drink - necessary as I do lose the weight - and trying hard to keep it to the weekend, however bad a day I've had! Mcmommy - I feel like a right lazybones compared with some of the gym bunnies on this site! I have good intentions, but often fail to do much structured exercise through exhaustion. Mind you, I do think that all that running and jumping around with my toddler must count for something!! Lorik - thank you! I think this week was a bit of a fluke - just a catch up after last week's gain - but I'm still delighted!! :D 

Pink - sorry, I forgot to answer your question! LOL - not sure I'd inflict you all with a bikini shot, even when I get to 133, but I will post at least one before/after shot!!
