Starting the next challenge - Memorial Day to Independence Day - roughly 6 weeks - I'm starting at 194 and based on a 1.5 pound weekly average loss have set a goal of 9 pounds. I'm focusing on 185!!

OK,,,, Scale.. the game is ON!! lol 6 weeks looking forward to what I will be weighing (alot less than today!!) YEAH BABY!!!

BUT I would declare from the roof tops if I squeek into the 240'S!!

Oh this is perfect for me! I have a conference starting July 5th that I would love to be a little lighter for! I just lose so slowly, though. I'd love to be 155, but honestly would be delighted to be out of the 160's

Starting weight 164.4
Goal Weight 155

Welcome Nona... :) Even losing alittle is still losing weight :) and I bet you might just surprise yourself and lose more than you think! May your scale treat you nicely! as we hope and believe the same for ourselves :) Can't wait to see your first posting I bet it is going to make you happy!

Welcome Nona - so glad you joined us for this challenge!! Checking in on the longer challenges keeps me on track - "eyes on the prize"!! The more the merrier!!

Happy Tuesday Wanaskipandlaugh!! Wow you are going to get to 50 lbs off during this challenge and a new decade!!

Holding at 194 and I can't weigh until Friday this week but I will check in!!

Holding steady is a good thing especially after a Holiday weekend. Did you share your Potato salad? :) Hope you had a good time!

Welcome JRP2689!!!

Happy Wednesday!! Can't weigh today but ate on plan and will continue the same for today!! Boy is broccoli good!!!...just kidding - forced myself to eat it at dinner last night - I usually like it but it was overcooked!! When I get home - I think I'll make a crustless broccoli/cheddar quiche over the weekend!!

Wannaskipandlaugh The faux potato salad stayed home but the low carb dip went to the party!! I felt really good about the outfit I wore to work yesterday - the second outfit from about 6 weeks ago that I finally had the confidence to wear!!

Lulu... :) Cool about the outfit...and a good thing you wore it as it will become too big soon enough and then you couldn't :) Have people been saying anything to you about your newer look and body? Me... no... But that is ok... I know I am slimmer and my clothes are getting really big on me :)
