After MONTHS in the 220s, I'm finally on the move again! It's so much easier to stay on track and make good desicions when the scale is moving. My july 4 goal was 199, not gonna happen... Shooting for 210 now. Really, I'm just pleased the scale is finally moving again!

Start Weight (March 6): 250.0 lbs
March 9: 249.6 lbs
March 16: 248.0 lbs
March 23: 245.2 lbs
March 30: 241.4 lbs
April 6: 240.7 lbs
April 13: 236.8 lbs
April 20: 232.4 lbs
April 27: 231.0 lbs
May 1: 228.4 lbs
May 8: 224.9 lbs
May 15: 224.0 lbs
May 22: 219.4 lbs
May 29: 217.6 lbs
June 6: 215.2 lbs
June 12: 212.5 lbs

June 12 was my last official weigh-in for this challenge, as on June 11 I found out I was pregnant. Unfortunately, after several weeks of problems I underwent abdominal surgery (laparatomy) on Thursday to remove an ectopic pregnancy. My weight was still down at 212.3 before the surgery last week, and so I think I should probably be pleased at having gotten within 3 lbs of my goal of 210 by 4th of July - but I am still disappointed to not yet be able to get back on track. The surgery did not go smoothly and so I am looking at some recovery time, but I hope to be back and challenging again in a few more weeks.

not onderland like i was hoping but i was stuck in the 220s circling 222 FOREVER! I finally broke it about a week and a half ago and have been creeping down since. My total loss for the challenge was 15.6 lbs, not too shabby! Still wish I could have done the 34 lbs it needed but anything is better then a gain!
