Successes/struggles this week: After Jan 8th weigh in, The State of Alabama had 2 National Championship Football games. The one on Saturday was bad, not only for the team but for food. PIZZA! I tried to control myself but I was weak! Talk about water weight gain to the max! The weather was cruddy too. The big one on Monday, was better but we did eat wings that I baked and grilled. I drank so much water trough out the week that I sloshed when I walked! I did get in some cardio and was lucky to lose what I did! 3 more weigh ins to go!

Hi, All!

This is a follow on from the December 2015 Weight Loss Challenge. It works the same way: You set your own goals, then weigh in each week. (Feel free to change the weigh-ins to suit your own schedule.) Everyone is welcome, no matter what your goals may be. You don't need to have done the December challenge to join in January. (In fact, you can join at any time.)

You will copy the form below, and paste it in a new reply, adding your own information. Each week you will update in another new reply.
