Well this made me cry a little inside, but I have to be honest and keep going. Started by with my walking and the AHA competition starts at work soon, so hopefully the added exercise will get me motivated.

Good Job to you guys though!!

I think I would like to come join a long term challenge. I am late to the party, but I can do 7 months! :) I weigh on Fridays! and I would love to see 250 (70 pounds lost, 10 pounds a month) by the end of the year. That's a bit ambitious, so realistically, with holidays and moving (possibly twice), I'm hoping to get to 270, so 50 pounds lost, by the end of December. I like to set a base goal, then an "ambitious" goal to reach for if I do better than I thought I would.

I'll be starting by missing a week, because I'll be traveling, but it's a work trip for DH, and I'm tagging along to visit family after the work part is done since it'll be up that way. The hotel has a fitness center, so I'm taking my gym clothes with me!

Noname.. WOW 19 lbs off for the year.. I have a feeling you are gonna get close to your goal before that clock turns 1/1/15!

Sum.. the Low 30's are calling you! with all your walking.. those lbs have no place to hide! :D

BBB Your regain is running out the DOOR! so glad for you! Soon these lbs will be history! Yeah Baby!

wannaskipandlaugh So sweet of you! Thank you for that post :D How are you doing so far this month? It definitely helps when there's no birthdays or celebrations!!!

I am hoping I reach my year's mini-goal early...in fact, my 10 year high school reunion is in October, and I'd love to be at 180 by then. But I won't officially adjust the goal until I get closer. We'll see how June goes :P
