Unfortunately, both my son and I got sick this week. I feel off the diet wagon , not terribly so, just couldn't exercise and I indulged in a couple cravings to lift my sick mood. I didn't gain any weight but I didn't lose any either. I suppose I had a big week last week too, so I would normally have gotten a low number anyway.

That's okay teeni thanks for reporting in. This week coming up is our last week. New challenge starts Monday the 28th for thanks giving. It is only 4 weeks.

GOAL under 200 by Christmas, under 220 by Halloween, started 8/6 @250.

So after a completely insane few weeks which included getting a job, fighting with my bf, getting an apartment, going on a mini beach vacation (aka pigged out) made up with bf and, just recently, bf losing his job I really didn't think I would make my goal by Halloween. I'd been up by 5 pounds 2 weeks ago then finally went back down to 304.6 last week. Well to my great surprise this week I've not only lost weight but I'm under my 300 pound goal!!!!!!

CW 299.4.......I'm in the two hundreds for the first time in probably 10 years. I literally screamed when I saw the scale. There may also have been dancing.

Congratulations, Jeni! You must be thrilled!

Thanks! I think for the first time I've also noticed that Im looking smaller. I can finally point stuff out and say ok my hips are definitely smaller and the ugly fat pockets (as I lovingly refer to them as) on the backs of my thighs are smoother!

Great job jen! We are starting another challenge, starts Monday. "Pass the stuffing " challenge. Just for 30 days, get ready for Thanksgiving.

Weight 220 . I made my goal. Lost over 17 lbs this challenge

Wow! That's fantastic, cowgirl! Congrats!


I'm 5 pounds off my goal and lost 11 pounds. I'm going a little more conservative with my next goal.

SW: 196
CW: 186 (down 1 pound)
GW: 180

My last weigh-in for this challenge. I didn't make my goal but I continue to creep in the right direction. I was happy to see 185 for a couple days and thought I lost more but 186 it is. On to the next challenge. It's been fun!

Cool mom 11 bs is great too! You succeeded !

Thanks! Slow and steady wins the race

My weigh-in on last Friday put me at 147. I seem to be just hovering right around the upper 140s.


SW: 149.6
CW: 147.0
