If you're like me, you often miss these "beginning of the month" challenges, so I figured I'd start one for the middle of the month! I could even keep this thread organized with each person's goal weight for the challenge, and with updates of how much was lost! Ideally you'd post once a week or so, with a final weigh-in on the fifteenth! So who's with me?

Hi guys, and welcome! And yes, weigh in whenever you would like.

Could I join please? SW 222 Goal 206 CW 222

Going to ty to loose 15 may be hard but I just started so maybe loose water weight... Worth a shot anyways right?!

Good Morning Girls,

I am so glad I joined this challenge. I needed something to keep me from straying. I was just hungry yesterday and did not feel like cooking and cleaning so I ate at two restaurants. Lunch was relatively high calorie fast food so at dinner I had a shrimp appetizer and a side salad. It worked. I wasn't starving. At least not last night but my stomach was growling this AM. Today I am attending a wedding that includes a sit down dinner. Yikes. I will have to be very good the rest of the week! I have another wedding in three weeks and I am hoping to lose a few pounds before then.

LGW-Congrats on the 16 pound weight loss. That is awesome! Keep Going.

Hey guys! I didn't see all of these replies at first, haha. Welcome to the challenge!

momof3preemies - Hey, doesn't hurt to shoot for the moon!
LGW - Happy two montheversary, haha.
TERAPET - I know what you mean! I have a trip coming up tomorrow, so I'm crossing my fingers that I won't overindulge and ruin some VERY good results from this week! =x

Have a great day everyone!
