I'd like to join this challenge!

If I lost 2.5 lbs a week for 12 weeks that's 30 lbs! My starting weight for this is 206 so I would weigh 176 by then. It seems doable when you break it down weekly.

I lost 2 lbs in the last 2 days so I'm pretty excited that this might actually be possible!

Hey everyone, how did you do?
I had a slooooooooow week, lost 1.3 lbs which is way below my average but I'm still going down so that's good. I have lost a total of 10 lbs so far, 1/4 of the 40 lbs.
Good luck on your WI today, girls!

I am still bouncing around between 201 & 202. The 100s are so close but I keep messing up the closer I get to them. Ugh! Drives me nuts!

I'm on vacation and working really hard to stay on plan. Also, I don't have a scale to track my progress and I usually weigh twice a day. I've done a decent job with staying away from high carb foods, except fruit. After a 1 lb gain then loss, I'm holding steady at 206.

Good luck everyone!

Alright, so living on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean means when the Internet goes out...there is no Internet for anyone. I managed to connect but it's taken about 15 minutes to load the page and Mango can't connect at all from her house or her office. Our update is this, I'm at 238 andMango is stll around 246 but she can't remember what her last WI was and neither of us will be able to load the spreadsheet so if someone could update for us then we'd love you forever. Without access to 3FC it's a godsend that we know each other in person to provide each other support. I was feeling pretty lame until she called the other day to see how I was doing. Hopefully we'll all be online again soon and with a perm fix instead of what we have now which is soooooooper slow.

Where the eff is everybody? Did I miss the zombie apocalypse? I gained this week but it's TOM, so, I'm not holding it against myself. Back down next week I hope!

I lost another pound this week. Not bad since I haven't been able to exercise for two weeks due to bronchitis. Doc doesn't want me to exercise until next week so I don't relapse.

SW: 233
CW: 224
GW: 195 by 10/31

I'm not sure the 195 goal weight is still realistic since there are only 9 more weeks until Halloween and that would work out to losing 3.5 lbs per week. But I'm going to give it everything I've got and lose as much as I can by Halloween.

Finally back on line!! Got my internets fixed! I've been wallowing in self loathing, overburdend by work and generally not feeling "into it" lately. I weighed in this morning at 246 which I've managed to maintain probably through luck of the irish or something...can't figure out why I havn't gained back up to my start weight. I hope Ghost will come on and update, she left on vacation a few days ago and was down several pounds and feeling so good about herself she threatened to wear a bathing suite at the beach. Thank goodness for Ghost, she has been calling me and texting me trying to motivate me. Since she's been gone on vacay I've been feeling more with the program and ready with a fresh head to get back on the wagon. I have a buiness trip next week but there is a fitness center in the hotel and the office so I'll be fine. And there are plenty of restaurant options for healthy stuff.

I'm happy you're back on track, Mango!
I've been so busy lately, but somehow I'm still losing at least 1.5 lbs every week. My classes are back, my mom is sick and my house is a mess because of a renovation we're doing. I haven't been able to exercise at all, and since my kitchen doesn't currently exist, I've been living on peanuts, apples and chocolate.
We're halfway into the challenge, let's give it all we got, all right? One thing I learned here is that we can always get back on plan, and the sooner you do it, the better. So many times I lost 10 or 15 lbs, went off plan and just quit because of that. Then I gained back all of it and more. This time I already lost over 30 lbs and I don't even know how many times I ate too much of the things I shouldn't. I learned that that's ok, and I just do my best to keep going.
I hope you all have a great week

Did everyone give up or just move to a different challenge?

I'm at 203.5 today.

I didn't give up but I'm stalled. At a plateau having a rough time getting over it.
