Paper Clip Weight Loss & Glub Glub Glub
I know you are saying "Paper Clips". I read about this a long time ago where you can use paper clips as a visual reminder of the weight you have lost. What you do is for every pound you lose you add one more clip to your chain. I will be changing colours every ten pounds. Since I am only one pound down right now I have a lonely little paper clip on my chain. Here it is:
This paper clip will not be lonely for long as I plan on adding many to it. 
Water: I did it!! I managed to get in my 8 glasses yesterday! It felt so go to get this done!! I am already on my way today to reach my goal.
I have a very busy weekend so I am not sure if I will be abel to post. If I don't have a great weekend Everyone.

How great!
I love the paperclip idea and will definately be doing my own. Plus that gives me an excuse to buy COLORED paperclips!! Exciting!!

Great job!!!!
Congrats on getting in that water
Can't wait to see that paperclip chain grow!!!!!!!
I know what you mean about Paul on TBL and I too am happy he got another chance. I'm not attached to the Blue team yet, but I am impressed by their work ethic. So far I don't really have a favorite, but I'd love to see the orange team do well because I understand the mom's guilt over contributing to her son's obesity. Thankfully my children are still young and skinny/healthy - but I also had that lightbulb moment of what I was doing to them with chicken nuggets. It's a great show though, isn't it?!?!

I'm stealing your idea
I Love your paperclip idea! I'm stealing your idea. :-) It's good to have a visual reminder especially on those days you feel weak/"bad."
Also, congrats on the water. It definitely takes some reminders to make this a new habit.
Question: Do you belong to a "support group" yet on line through extrapounds.com? If not, maybe you/us should start the "Paperclip Club" or something like that? what do you think?
Have a good week. I'll be off line until Friday - I'll catch up with you later.
Keep at it!!
