Weigh in for challenges will be once a week. Copy and paste this format or create your own, edit dates to match your weekly weigh in day.

A new thread will be posted for each new challenge as they approach. This means the thread will not get super long by end of the year and anyone can jump in at any point in the year!

Hi everyone & thank you to AAD for setting up the new challenge thread! I've lost over 30 lbs. since participating in these challenges, I need accountability. I will be going by my Columbus day weight, I wish all of us great success in accomplishing our healthy goals! <3

Today I am starting out the day badly eating some cinnamon crumb cake bought at Sprouts market
11/13/2014: 252.4
11/20/2014: 253.6 (I gained 7.6 lbs. over this past week, because of binge eating & probably PMS weight gain, so this weight is a gift! <3 )

Super happy, even though I am 1.6 lbs. higher than my set goal, I am so grateful to be here and at this weight, it wasn't easy getting here, Thank you to G_d for everything! <3 And thank you to all of you for the support & encouragement, I am not sure where I would be in my journey without these challenges they mean so much to me *hugs everyone*.

Hi...I am new here and was looking for one of the challenges I could join. I hope it is ok to join this one....I did start last Sunday but told myself no daily weigh ins that discourage me so I am weighing in every Sunday...I am using WonderSlim and some other diet products similar to it. I have an issue with portion sizes so thought this was the best way to go for now....

Aida :hug: thank you for starting the new challenge. :) This was smallsteps challenge I took over when she didn't start the new challenge :) I like these challenges also, eventhough I don't get to log on as much anymore :(

here are my stats for the last challenge

Challenge Begin Weight: 161.6
Challenge Goal Weight: 155.6
Challenge End Weight: 157.6

I didn't weigh in on the 13th so I hope it's ok to use the 14th's weight as my end weight End Weight for the challenge. I loss 4lbs, 2lbs shy of my goal. This is getting harder and harder to do but I'm gonna keep trying :)
