Well Josey? The end is near! I myself am no where near my goal  I just can't figure out what's wrong with me. I have no motivation still (or very little).

Aunty! I am not there yet either. Don't give up please.
Tell us what you do and we will try to help you. Are you calorie counting? What are your workouts like?
We can work on motivation too. There is always another challenge :-)

Well I am 3lbs short of my goal but I still lost a little over 13lbs on this challenge and I'm super close. I'll keep it going of course 
Hope you all had a good week!

Sorry I have not been around lately. I am not at my goal weight, but I am going to go out for a 5K to celebrate my birthday today!

Energy is the essence of life.
Every day you decide how you're going to use it by knowing what you want,
and what it takes to reach that goal, and by maintaining focus.

I'm way off my goal weight, by about 30lbs. I didn't lose as fast as I thought. I keep teetering between 253 and 256, so at most I lost 8lbs during the challenge.
On another note, I'm pregnant!

Congrats Armida!!! That's great news When are you due?
Josey - My problem is that I'm not working out very much and not eating that great... it's a motivation/depression/time thing. I'm working on it... I think part of my problem was I haven't had anything to really aim for, I can say all I want that I want to lose weight but until I have a real reason for it (eg. I'm signed up for a race) I only half a$$ it. It's something that I haven't been able to break even through I know I'm doing it. I'm thinking of joining the Christmas thread with the goal of fitting into my special christmas sweater... the thread isn't quite what I want but I'm thinking another Christmas thread would be redundant.

Oh, I'm not due for a while. I'm only about a month pregnant. Just took the home preg test last week. I'm thinking sometime in June. I'll be going to the doctor later this week.

Wow! Armida...A little baby soon. How exciting! 
The three grand essentials of happiness are:
something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for.
