Okay team, we're down to 7....or should I say YOU'RE down to 7. I'm removing myself from the rest of the challenge pending life-altering changes. Okay, so it's only 1 week, but still....
Here's the scoop:
I finally had enough and told DH that I wanted a divorce. Short story is that we're still living together (for now) for financial reasons, but he's aware that I'm planning to divorce him. As long as we're getting along and can be civil, I don't mind if he takes awhile to actually get out. This has been a long time coming as anyone who's been on the Blue team for more than 2 "seasons" knows. Still, I needed some time to wrap my head around the finality of it, and its coming at a high price of a few extra pounds. (I regained to 144.5, but its under control now, I think.) I had considered stepping down as Blue teamleader for the next challenge, but I've decided to stay. The support of my team and the accountibility is exactly what I need to keep me from backsliding into obesity.
So there you have it. I want to thank everyone who has PM'd me over the last few years offering support and advice. You chicks are the bestest! :hug:

:hug: Dee, you are such a strong, determined woman, and I know you will come through this and go on to a bigger, better future. Stick around, and we'll keep you accountable, and keep using you as an inspiration!!
I've been overwhelmed lately - work, wedding plans, it's all just taking so much time! But FH and I are doing great with the gym - our trainer has been SUCH a good investment, and I'm really seeing and feeling changes already.

Thanks! I feel good about the decision.
I've asked that everyone add their starting weight to the next challenge sign-up thread.
