I read somewhere that money is the #1 most succesful motivator for losing weight. (Which seems like a no brainer.) I've been thinking about paying myself--putting $7 a day in a savings account every time I stick with my goals all day. But it would be WAY better if someone else was paying me! That's awesome. Good luck with the not drinking. When I was pregnant I found that having a fake cocktail (like flavored seltzer w a splash of cranberry or other juice) in a nice cocktail glass made not drinking easier. Glad your fridge is fixed.

The nice glass is key. You still have the whole ceremony of making yourself a drink.

Great idea Beets! Thanks. I figured for tonight I will get water with lime? I don't really no what else a person could order out that would be low calorie and non alcoholic. Getting a Shirley Temple or something would just be a lot of sugar I don't need.

Good news about the fridge, it could have been a lot worse. :-) Stick to your plans tonight about the alcohol as that can easily lead you to food as well. The chart is looking great Chris keep up the steady move downwards.

You and ChattyCathy have the best jobs, I swear - where can I get one!? Thats a great thing though, and truthfully, better for them in the long run - the healthier you are, the more your able to work (less sick days) and they may get a break on health insurance if they have all thin, healthy employees. Smart smart smart! Anyway, have fun on your night out - I need one of those soon myself! Have a great Friday!

Great job with that weight. You are doing awesome. Why don't you drink vodka with soda and a splash of cranberry...not too bad on calories. How nice you are getting to help your sister in law. I'm sure she will appreciate it. I would love to get paid for losing weight lol.

My wife's hospital pays for losing weight but you have to check in once a month to check your weight they give you 5 pounds within or else you give it payment back by the weight your over....They also give vacation days off for the ones who never gain monthly
