Just keep at it and don't give up! slow and steady is good. I'm surprised with just ONE day down people have already lost so much BUT..Last time I lost my first 8 pounds in the first two weeks, then the last two weeks I GAINED it all back because I got cocky and wasn't very careful so I lost my bet :( so this time i'm just concentrating on sticking with the eating within my daily limits and working out and NOT getting cocky

Taylah, don't worry about it, you still have time. Also when I was going through an eating guide that comes with my exercise dvd's it said that you can drink, but you have to drink smart. You can not have sugary drinks margaritas and stuff like that but you can have rum and diet coke, and stuff like that. At the end of the day that drink would be 133 calories vs 500+ calories in margarita. Just remember that you may only be able to have 2 drinks (maybe 3 depending on your workout and food intake for that day) and if you are going to be there for a while you might have to babysit those drinks...lol. But once you had a great time, you just right it off and move forward...lol. That could be considered your weeks cheat meal.
