Well at least we are in good company. Weighed in at 185.3 today. It's the lowest I've been in... heck I don't know 8... 9 years? Won't lose 5 lbs in 7 days but maybe I can lose 2lbs?

I think you're on to something about not making a goal (me neither) - but to me this challenge has been more about support. Our bodies are not machines we can program - they are like children, no matter what one does, sometimes they will just do what they want!

Being the lowest weight in 8 or 9 years is a wonderful thing. You must be happy!!

I hope the challenge will continue . . .

Finally made Onederland today.....so I'll make my first day of spring goal to be 198 (even if it's 198.9) :)

1/15: 215.6
2/1: 206.4
2/15: 204.4
3/1: 206.4

Thanks Lishar! I had to change my goal as well....it was supposed to be 190 but I stalled all of February, could not budge that 204 for some reason. Longest stall I've had yet, so I knew 190 was not going to happen.
Keep at it Lishar, from what I've seen you're doing great!

Being farther along than when we started is all that counts!!!

Hey Everyone,

I thought I'd start things off with my stats. I did indeed fail to make goal. But at least I lost some weight since I started this challenge. It's true I have been more lax with being OP as time went on. I guess I'm just stressed out about a lot things. I got down to as low as 184.5 lbs at one point, but I'm back up again. Anyway, without further adieu...

Starting Weight: 207.3 lbs
Goal Weight: 180 lbs
Current Weight: 186.6 lbs

3/1/2013: ~191 (estimate)
3/15/2013: 186.3
3/20/2013: 186.6

Had to change my goal mid-challenge since I stalled all of February. Hit Onederland on March 15th! My original goal was to make 190 but I changed it to 198.

15) March 3 209.8lbs
16) March 10 211lbs
17) March 17 206.8lbs

I did not make my goal. Starting weight 225lbs ending weight 206.8. Almost 20lbs (18.4) not great but on the right track. I would have loved to made Onderland but I will it will just take a few more weeks. I think part of my problem is that I over estimated how much I could lose especially around the holidays. I need to look back and see that Yes I did lose 20lbs not as fast as when I started but I did lose it.

I am feeling better and looking better too.

Happy First day of Spring everyone.
