Glad to hear you're back. Did you move on to month 2 or will you start that in the next challenge?

Thanks, chick!

I moved straight on to Phase 2 since that's where I would be if I didn't stop. Wanted to kick myself in the a$$ for all the time I slacked off!

Can't wait to see those result weight loss/measurements/pictures!!

I'm taking measurements and weighing today. Hoping for good news.

As you ladies know I completely failed this challenge :-( On the plus side I have not given up. I did manage to stay down 9lbs from this challenge. I'm so ready for our new challenge. I will strive harder to complete that challenge!! I'm motivated and ready to start over and give it my all..
