but i'm down a whole pants size. is this wierd or what?

also, i eat 2 fudgesicles a day with 2 tbs peanutbutter -- because the sf fudgsicles add up to only 5 calories more than the 75. anything wrong with that.

luckily i have no ridiculous cravings today after my slice of pizza that i had yesterday (my birthday). very glad about that.

I've found I've gone down pants sizes quicker than the loss in numbers on the scale...for example, the first two times I went down a size after about 12 lbs, but this last time I went from a 12 (at 158lbs) to a 10 (at 151 lbs)...so yeah, I guess that is the same as you 7lbs and 1 one size (but this last one took longer than 4 weeks, more like 7-8 weeks)

I think it just depends where you are losing the weight from and how much muscle vs fat you are gaining (last time I was this weight I wore a 12 and didn't wear a 10 til 140, but I have MUCH more muscle now than then)

I've done 2 fudgsicles in a day too - I really don't think an extra 5 calories once in awhile is the end of the world. As my dh likes to say - just blink extra hard for about 30 seconds and you'll take care of that extra 5 (of course not really - but you get the idea)

Glad the pizza didn't cause any cravings and you had a good birthday!
