Greetings from Maryland.....I am at 237 today and Pakavanh is at 146.  Two notes, I have created a simple excel spreadsheet with columns for weekly entries and all the names of those signed up to date.    I posted this on dropbox and send you all a link where we can all update the same document each week.   Let me know if this is too much.

One other note.....if you use g-mail, you can just go to the setting of this blog and and yourselves as a contribute.....saves you the hassle of signing in each time.

Pakayvanh and I are both trying the South Beach diet.....has worked for me every time I have tried it....down 5 pds the first week.  The challenge is sustaining it......especially in the face of the bannana bread Pakayvanh made yesterday  (not a bite) and at the delicious chocolate cake she made for Isabelle's birthday today  (one big bite.)
