I updated. I am at goal, so I just want to maintain from here on out. It was really good for me to see what I've lost since November, though. I've felt good about myself for so long now that I didn't realize what a huge difference it could make. In 5 months I've lost the last 27 pounds, which I finally realized is a lot. When you start with over 100, 27 seems like nothing, but it's not and I'm glad I finally realized.

I bought a skirtini!

Holding steady. And apparently posting to myself at this point, haha

Not really! I mean, I'm reading!

My past month has been absolutely dreadful and frustrating, so I haven't been around much. My metabolism went on strike, apparently...

@thaisccs
I know you're a lil' frustrated right now but I just wanted to congratulate you on making your second mini goal - losing 50 lbs!

@rachael
Congrats on making goal!

One for every 5 lbs lost. So long suckers!!!

JamiSue: Thank you so much! And congratulations are in order for yourself, having met your first mini goal recently!!

(plateaus are mega frustrating! I tend to forget about all that's already been accomplished! lol)

Ok, second to last weigh in was yesterday!
Bumping for updates!

LAST WEIGH IN IS TODAY! THIS CHALLENGE ENDS TODAY!

Where is everyone?

I updated!!!

Just you and me, Jen!
So:

Jen516:
From 247 to 216.5 - 30.5 lb lost (12.35% of starting weight!)

thaisccs
From 201 to 175.3 - 25.7 lb lost (12.79% of starting weight!)

Nice! You just edged me out! I'm glad we were so close to the same %.

I personally consider it a tie. It's too close to call!

Awww, how sweet!
Any 12% loss is fantastic, right?? Not as much as I wanted, but still, it's progress!

Exactly how I feel about it! It could have been more, but that's 12% off! not on!
So we did good!

Funny, we're also both about in the same place compared to our overall start weights from last year... about 25% down! (Actually, you edged me out there too!) Nice work! Have you joined another long-term challenge?
