I was starting to doubt that I'd be able to say this before Valentine's Day, but . . . Goodbye, 150s!

This might be my last weigh-in for this challenge since we'll be out of town for V-Day. If time allows, I'll do my final weigh-in for this challenge before we head out.

Congratulations on how far you've come, everybody! Have a wonderful Valentine's Day.

Can't believe how fast the time is flying...except for my weight!

Okay, well I admit I am not the happiest with myself as I had really hoped to be in onederland right now....but that was my choice to take a month off and eat everything in sight that looked good!

I lost 35 pounds even with my relapse in 4 months, so I guess that is good. Just not used to having relapses so lesson learned! Way to go to all the ladies who stuck with it!

Since Christmas I havnt been nearly as strict with my calories and work outs BUT I did lose 36 pounds throughout this challenge and thats amazing! I had a goal of 215 pounds and came up short but Ive made great progress and am motivated to get back on track and start losing a bit quicker again!

Everyones done amazing! Good job ladies!

Most importantly.....HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! =)

Well I almost made my goal, but I'm happy with it. I was sick the entire month of Jan. and had some set backs due to water weight and meds. but it's ok. I finally have less than 100 lbs. to lose, I'm SOOOOOOO proud of myself!!!!!!

Hi it feels like it will be next valentines day before I get to my targets. Tried most diets out there. Has anyone any genuine diet programme recomendations I could re start with?
