When I signed up for this challenge I was 286 even though I cheated and weighed myself early and found out I had lost three pounds two days later. :p I weighted in this morning with bated breath and was at 254!! I wanted to lose 25 pounds and I lost more than that at 32 pounds. I am very proud and looking forward to the next challenge! I am so ready. I now have to decrease my calories since I have lost the weight that I have. No problem. Trust me I would much rather have the weight loss than the extra calories any day of the week. Thank you so very much ladies for this challenge. The support was awesome and I don't know if I would have been as successful as I have been had it not been for this board. All of you ladies are amazing and I look forward to my continuing weight loss battle with you all by my side. Thank you just isn't enough.

Well no change this week. But I'm glad I lost 11lb during this challenge and I think that I'll start doing monthly or bimonthly challenges for myself if no more challenges show up here. I think it really helps me stay more focus, though I'm not perfect yet, I'm more aware than when I started.

Good JOB all of my friends!!!! We rock!!!!! We need another challenge like this one right away for sure :)

I agree cfmama. I would love to have another one or start another creative one but I think you need permission. I weighted in this morning like I always do when on the challenge. LOL.

Hi, I'm a newbie. I would like to join the next challenge.. I have over 100lbs to lose and would like to have off at least 50 or 60 by Oct 24, 2009 for our cruise. Is there anyone out there without a weight loss buddy.. I could use one. My name is Andrea, I'm 44 female, happily married, mom of 5 boys and starting weight at 265/259/145. My mini goal is 10%. So I have 20 more pounds to go.

Challenge is over and I have lost......


20 pounds!!! YAY!
