My goal is to be AT GOAL by the end of this challenge - Since I am officially in (1/2) Marathon Training I am hoping that I can at least pull off 1lb a week if not more on some weeks... My weight loss has slowed tremendously, but I've got to get to goal somehow!!! Thanks Joni for the motivation!

Good luck. In the words of Kim and Nicole, I just suck at challenges. But, at least I did not gain during these past weeks.

Hope everyone is doing well. Sorry I've been absent. Just busy with work and life and when I'm not busy I feel like I should be cleaning or working out or relaxing. I live on the computer for my job and realize I just need to step away and have a life from time to time...although, I must admit, "playing" online is a lot more fun than working...and it's so addictive. Happy day to all.
