beginning my morning with a bit of irish poetry adds a touch of class to the day to be sure!!! I wish I had a poem in response but I will say I am rejoicing your "boring" pound, somewhere along the way you gave up a pint or a crumble to earn it so as bully would say....it's a stick o butta. good for you- keep up the good work  

chuckles.. thanks sharon... what I'm delighted about is that I have reached the 176 mark (which is 12 adn a half stone in Irish currency) 'twas a mini goal. Who would ever have believed it! I achieved a goal!! 

I LOVE IT! If I may be so bold, I might title it The Night Before Weigh In. Thank-you for brightening my morning :D What a great poem! You ROCK! 

Love the beautiful poem there!! You're SO talented! Especially on a Monday, LOL. I do good to spell my words right, LOL... much less, make up a poem! Kudos on the pound!! I think it's great!! 

shhhh lori.... as anyone can see, I'm an awful eegit really (just don't think that they've noticed as yet!!!!) chuckles.. Didn't even have a title for me poem... thanks mass... your a pal.. 

I can't imagine anything being boring around you! If pressed, I sure you could tell us the story as to why that lb had to leave this week. Or at least how how you use some Irish magic to make it disappear! LOL Ahhh, if it were so easy! Thanks, I even managed a smile and chuckle before 'me' coffee! 

Well hummy, some people say that me great great great grandfather on me mothers side, trice removed, was half leprachaun... (maybe thats where me manic laughter comes from!) as for the separation of me and that lb... lets just state 'irreconcilable differences'. Mind you one lb a week is sooooo slow! my next goal should be achieved by the end of June if I keep this pace up... ahhh for some tantric weight loss! 

Wish I could actually hear ya with your accent, would be even better. You did great, pound by pound you're getting there. And what is 12 and 1/2 stone, is that 10 lbs for us Americans? 

"Merciful hour" kim... I'd love that (cause I'd weigh even less)...a stone is 14 lbs, and there are a few of us die hards over here who still talk like that... of course everything is going metric in Europe so it will all be kilo's soon. Another learning curve! 

Davy..That poem is awesome! I imagined you walking across that stage and standing in the spotlight reading your poem:) You are so very talented my friend! And losing 1 lb. is way better than losing 0 lbs. or worse yet gaining!!! You're doing great! Keep it up :D 

I believe that'd be FOUR sticks of "buttah"! =D Yepper, right on track to a good slow weight loss that will stay off! Keep the luck of the leprechaun with ya and keep on kickin' it, Daithi!! Love the lil diddy!! Too cute lol! =D 

That was great, Dave! Thanks for sharing it. :D You bring sunshine to our days here at FS. I think 1lb a week, slow and steady, is great. Reaching goals is even better! I know how hard it is to be patient, but making tremendous changes in your life sometimes takes a lot of little changes. Keep it up!  

DAVE!!! You are frickity funny!!! Way to make my day (and many others, as I can see from the above)!! I can't wipe the smile off my face!! And I say 1lb a week is fine - thats 52lbs in a year!!!! I could live with that! 

Oh, I have looked forward to your journal all day, and I was not disappointed!!! FS wouldn't be the same without ya! 

Tantric weight loss. Of course I've only heard Sting's reference on that so hmmm. Way to go on the 1 pound loss. Before you know it you'll be slim and your kids will have to be your entourage as you'll be onstage recitin. A written spotlight is wonderful and joyful for us, but the masses are calling for you.
