Our old thread is nearing 500 replies (and hence about to get closed). So I created a new one here. I plan to start another thread for part II of the challenge soon.

I wanted to thank everyone for making this such an amazing challenge. Out of 40+ people who signed up, you guys stuck with it to the end. Everyone lost at least one pound over the past 3 months. You should all be proud. The support from and success of this challenge has helped me immensely in many areas of my life beyond weight loss. Thanks again.

Congrats to our Season MVP petitefleur and all the other award winners.

Jumelle - you've been the picture of "tortoise" weight loss. I seriously thought I made a mistake in putting the final chart together. In looking at your stars, I couldn't believe you lost 10+% and only made the dean's list once. Great Job!!

Also I left Blondie160 in because she weighed in last week and posted in the thread a few days ago. I know she's around. Hopefully she'll pop up and give me a final weight.

I'll see you all soon

Yay! I was really wanting to join the previous one but decided to wait for a new one. Thank you for starting this again .

Welcome munstermommy

I'm going to continue with the "Week 13" discussion.

Just got back from jogging 2+ miles outside. Hopefully soon this wont make me get rigamortis in the morning. The longer distances are making me so sore. It's a good sign though, means I'm getting a workout.

I'm attending a family gathering tonight with crabs/cakes/booze/junk food. I plan to be good, I hope I don't overindulge. Trigger foods always get me.

Woo hoo i can't wait to start the next one, this time we are over the over-indulgent summer season, which i know shouldn't be an excuse but so many birthdays/weddings/ hen parties etc serious alcohol and crap food..
week one back on track and down 6lb today from last Saturday i am well chuffed..

Scarlett fair play as always chart looks super, well done on the run, i'm pool side now for the next while, i ripped a muscle and will take months to recover so no C25K for me for awhile . Best of luck with later, i find trigger foods serious test my willpower...

Also i got a mention above cool.. talk about a push on...

ok hope everyone has a good weekend

The charts look awesome, Scarlett! Can't wait for the next round since I loved how much the last one kept me accountable to others and myself.

I hope we have a lot of people return and tons of new people join.

Hello! I'm just joining and could use something to keep me accountable.

Scarlett-I hope that your trigger night is manageable! I think those charts look awesome, you must be a software wiz to be able to put those things together!

I am super excited for this challenge, I just finished my first round of Insanity today and I am starting Round 2 + running/weight lifting also. I am hoping to be at goal by the end of this challenge. Thank you in advance to all the lovely ladies in this challenge for being so inspirational and motivational! Let's kick some lb butt everyone!!

Scarlett, I've just signed in on line 13

Wow I won an award!!!! Yay! I've fallen off the wagon, but I'm going to get my behind up and back on.
Congrats to ALL participants who stuck it through! It was tough but very rewarding and WE DID IT

Thanks for keeping me on there Scarlett but I suck at keeping accountable! I am going to post my final weight tomorrow but I think it will only be a few pounds loss if that! I would love to join in the next one but I am on holiday for the first 3 weeks of it, maybe I will just join late!

You all did amazingly! Im annoyed that I didnt stick to it because those 12 weeks went so quickly, I could be at goal by now!

I'm determined to do better with this challenge. I'm sick of yo-yoing. Time to get some control!

Blondie160- I'm going to have the week 2 deadline (9/8) as the cutoff to join. You could join and then go "On leave" for 4 weeks.

This is the new "Basics" pic. The best graphics that can be done on paint haha. I'm about to start the new thread but thought I'd post it here too.
