Paula, way to go! I had to laugh though, loosing water weight from flying? Don't get that one, are we lighter up there, lol? Ohhhh resistance bands you know I just remembered I think I have some of those in the bottom of my drawer. I'm going to find them, that would be a nice change to add to my exercise videos I do ;-) I also was wondering how to change the original weight so it will show up on my ticker. I see where you can change the starting weight but not sure it will go back to Jan when I started my weight loss plan. I'd like to record that even though I was on CSD and not LC until March, if you find out let me know and if I figure it out I'll let you know. hugs, Joyce 

Joyce - to the right side of your screen you should see a colored box with My Journal, Diet Calendar, My Groups, etc...listed. The top one, for me, says Weight History. Click on that. Staying on the right column, scroll down a little ways. You should see Enter Historical Weights (or something like that)...that is where I was trying to go back - but it won't let me go past Nov 1 (6 months). Good Luck. As for the flying - and the water weight - I tend to retain water when I fly (most people do) - and I knew I had been faithful on my vacation, so I was a little bummed when I got home and found I had gained 2 lbs after vacation. I actually weighed myself again the next day, and the 2 lbs were gone...that's how I knew it was water weight! I held off weighing again til this morning - and voila - another 2 lbs. That's all fat!!! Yeah!!! And I too started on my own version of a diet back in Jan 2009 - until mid Jan 2010 when I started Atkins. Then - out of total addiction and ignorance - I fell hard off the plan while away traveling. Totally ate whatever I wanted - and figured I would pick up where I left off when I got back. NOT! I regained everything I had lost during the first three weeks of induction. So, by the end of FEB - I was starting all over again - and that's eventually how I ended up at this site and in Boot Camp by March. I didn't have the foggiest idea of what I was doing! (never did Atkins before) But I was physically feeling so much better, that I knew I wanted to stick with this to see if I could learn enough to decide if this is a lifestyle I could live with! The weight loss has been very slow for me since the very beginning, but I really did the biggest damage to myself when I switched to Atkins, by starting induction - screwing up MAJOR - and then regaining it all back. (if I only knew then, what I know NOW) But then that's why I am here!!! Won't ever make that mistake again. For Sure!!! 

2 lb. lost is awesome!!! I know you are happy. 

AWESOME!! You are closer than ever! :) 

Excellent!
