    @sandkp I haven't seen the sign up yet for the team race. Let's all be on the lookout. I was thinking she said when it would be available but I'll have to go back and read it again. Happy Monday!

    Morning all. I slacked this weekend as well - we got a new puppy, and it's like having a baby in the house again!! I will sign up for the singles race today! Have a great Monday!

    Thanks @BJerzy .. will keep my eyes out too.

    @enuf200 ... puppies are worse than babies in my opinion... good luck with that! Love puppy kisses though! You've got this... stay strong!

    I'm SUPER excited to say I broke 200 this morning! Clocked in at 199.2 :) Now I just gotta stay under that for good! Barring a horrific stomach flu I don't think I'll be making my goal of 195 by next week, BUT a) I made really good progress and b) a good online support team with you guys the past few weeks. Let's make our last week kick *kitten*!

    @303lissy - that's a HUGE achievement. I stuck around that border for a while and then the scale moved down so I had some cushion. (That feels good too) You are really focused and can do anything you put your mind to. Don't count that goal out yet my girl!!! <3

    Thank you @sandkp !!!

    Also, it autocorrects the three letter word for butt to kitten? That's awesome hahaha. But in all seriousness, I don't want to kick kittens...

    Way to go, @303lissy!! I am still hovering around that 200 mark. 200.6 to be exact, lost a whopping .4lb! I ate well this past week, but only worked out 3 x's. So...I will get there next week. You are my inspiration! But, I admit that I may use you as my competition - just cause I am somewhat of a "monica" (friends)! :D

    You got this @enuf200 .... try adjusting sodium intake for a couple days.. see if that helps push you down to ONEderland. Maybe it will help along with increasing that exercise. You can get there before we end for sure!! And I <3 Friends!

    So I gained a bit of weight since Tuesday (Friday is my other weigh in day) but I'm still under 200! At 199.8 I'm vowing to never see that number start with a 2 again.

    Hey team... question for you all. When you take measurements do you do a body loss total or just individual achievements?

    I really wish I had measurements from the start of this. I took them at 4 weeks in but I had only lost 2 lbs so may not have been too different.

    Looks like my smallest loss was 1/2 inch and my biggest was 2 1/2inches. Total lost as of last weigh in was 10.8 lbs but lost 11.25 in inches..not too shabby for 10 weeks! :#

    Even better news is that high bp reading from a couple weeks ago is now almost always normal on daily readings and on days it's not it's just one of two that's barely borderline... vs it being in the stage 1 or even 2 reading... they were rarely both in the same! Not really sure what was going on or what kind of warning I was getting but it woke me up! Can't wait to take these numbers to my doc.

    Thanks for all the support!!

    Can't wait for summer challenge... (and for my long dirt road to dry out so I can get off the treadmill!)

    You've got this... and I'm right there with you on that vow! I'm so over the 2's!

    @sandkp - that's a great loss!! Well done! I didn't take measurements, but I wish I did!
    I am looking forward to the next race. I took this week off, other than walking. Worked hard on getting our puppy used to us and getting into some sort of a routine with him in our lives. He's a good little guy, and I think I have figured out when I can fit "me" time in again.
