Final weigh-in and still below my goal. :) I took a final comparison picture in my bathing suit last night. Really can't believe the change in this small amount of time. I also updated my photos from the very beginning of my journey (over 40 pounds difference). Whoa. Very motivating.

Riestrella, I think you'd be proud of me - I treated myself to a new bathing suit! We are going to the beach next weekend. Really excited to get it in the mail.

Looking forward to the next challenge. :)

So moment of truth - the final weigh in! I'm at 197.3. Less .1lb from last week, but up 1lb from the last time I weighed (maybe around Sunday).
Really happy to see I lost a significant amount in the last 15 weeks although bummed a bit that I didn't make it to my "goal". So close! Maybe next time!

Good luck to those who haven't made their last weigh in yet, I hope you are happy with your results from the challenge and congrats to everyone for putting in your efforts throughout the challenge and losing! No matter how much anyone lost, even a few pounds is a bit closer to GOAL!

I had so much fun keeping my accountability with the challenge, despite having a few weeks that I slacked off. Thank you Rie, for setting this up for us! I can't wait to join in for the next! :)
Halloween challenge 2014, here we come! :woohoo:

161 but yesterday was my step dads bday party and i counted calories.So im happy with the outcome.

Holy cow, I actually almost made my goal. Off by 0.6 lbs :D And that is with all the overeating I did this month. I'm happy!

Well, I saw 141 last week once, which is technically down 1lb from my start weight. But I slacked off so much for the last few weeks I'm not on the chart any more so it doesn't count!

If there's one thing I've learned from these challenges, it's that I'm pretty good at maintaining. Somehow I need to work out how to lose a chunk BEFORE I go back to maintenance!

Congratulations to everyone who actually managed to achieve great results, you should all be proud of yourselves! x

The results are in...huge congratulations to our WINNER:

:encore::congrat::carrot:levoguette!!:carrot::congrat::encore:

In 15 weeks she lost an amazing 20.7 lbs, which means she lost 9.50% of her body weight in that time. WOW!

Huge congratulations to everyone who finished, your results are incredible. It's not easy staying accountable for such a length of time so be very proud of yourself. Thank you for everyone who has participated in the thread, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for my next challenge coming soon!

:bravo: loveguette!!!! You did amazing!

:cp: big congrats to everyone else who completed this challenge as well. Thank you Riestrella for all you did in running this challenge!

Got my new bathing suit in the mail yesterday, just in time for beach weekend. :D

Congratulations on being the runner up!! You should wear your new bikini with pride :D

Well I finished at least!

Tankini, dear :P Maybe by next year I will be confident enough to switch to a bikini. Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I won't be wearing a bikini this year, but at least I am -20.7lbs closer to one! :lol:

Can't wait until the next challenge! I really felt like it helped keep me so much more accountable this summer than I would have been on my own. Can't wait for the next!

any idea on when the halloween challenge will begin?

skittlesfirehawk-Rie usually does it around August I think? She's away right now on holiday though, but I'm sure as soon as she gets back she'll put it together :) I always love the halloween challenge!
