    Good morning all!!

    I haven't posted much, been kinda busy and off of my routine. I have told myself that this month though, I WILL be more focused in my efforts. My weight has been fluctuating all last month and I really thought I would have done much better than I did.

    So last night I went on a walk/jog on the seawall next to my house. I absolutely LOVE looking at the water and feeling the breeze as I workout. I will be so glad when the weather stays warm. I'm in Virginia and one day its warm and the next its cold!!

    Well here are my stats for this week:

    Starting weight: 191
    Starting Challenge weight: 186

    Current weight: 163

    Challenge Goal: 166
    Ultimate Goal: 135

    Total Loss: 28.0
    Total Challenge Loss: 23.2

    I have become more focused on my green smoothies and eating better. Well I will, once I get this Easter candy out of the house!! I make Easter baskets for my great nephew and nieces. I will weigh in again on Easter morning and see if I can make it to 159. I doubt it!!

    Congratulations to everyone for doing so well in this challenge. It's been a good one! My loss has slowed down quite a bit the past couple of weeks; I keep losing and gaining the same couple of pounds. I need to make sure I eat more. It's hard to shake the old idea that less is better. I joined in just last month and I'm happy that I've lost some weight.

    SW 229.4
    CW 219.5
    UGW 140

    Have a lovely, blessed Easter weekend!

    I love seeing the losses coming in!
    I got to weigh in today, it wasn't as good as I'd hoped for, but then I remembered a little bit ago I said something along the lines of "If I was down to 155 by Easter I'd be happy". So I need to remember that!
    SW: 184
    Easter Goal SW: 171
    Current weight: 154.4
    GW: 135-140
    Easter loss so far: 16.6 lbs.
    Total loss so far: 29.6 lbs.

    I'm going to weigh again in the morning, and if it's any lower I'll post it for the tally.

    Thanks!!

    I'm going to weigh in again on Easter Sunday. I'm hoping to break out of the 160's. That's 4 lbs in 2 days...I doubt it will happen but I'm hopeful!

    Barbiecat........I have friends in the Grapeview area and relates in the grays harbor area. I'm a small town girl myself. We call it a "big city" up here in Ketchikan but being on an island it isn't really that big. I'm only about 2 hours from Seattle myself (by plane does that count?)

    :D Esther, we live on the north side of the Olympic Peninsula, far enough north to be able to look across the water and see Vancouver Island.

    :D My line dance class today went great. A lot of people said they liked the dances and the music.
