Not many of us are left updating the spreadsheet, but still fun to see everyone's updates. I'm so thankful for this challenge as a way to keep myself motivated to keep the downward trend on the scale. Not likely (nor healthy) to lose 5 lbs this coming week to hit goal, but overall very happy with the success I've had during this challenge.

Hope everyone else is having a great week.

You have done an amazing job! Congratulations! Regardless of where you end at the challenge, what you've accomplished is nothing short of amazing!

@MaxT370 -- Thank you! This year has been truly transforming. I've lost a total 79 lbs since January, but more importantly, I've changed my routines. I'm eating much more healthily (and with no effort now really) and become so much more active (walking 10-14 miles/day + doing Tai Chi) now that I have more energy.

If someone had told me I'd be getting up at 4:30 or 5a to go walking for two hours before work each day, and then walking again each evening, I'd have bet money they were wrong. But it was me who was wrong. I really could change how I was living and each day I feel better and better. It's been exciting to watch how different I've become and it doesn't hurt to see changes on the scale or in the mirror as well.

You're welcome! I know exactly how you feel. I've lost 70 pounds since March and I have so much more energy, I feel better, I sleep better and I look better. This coming from someone who never exercised, didn't pay attention to calories and I hit that spot where I thought "This is just me." These days I'm up early before work to exercise, go to work, exercise at night, and eating better.

Congratulations on your success!

Argh!! Ended on a minor gain rather than a loss. Was hoping to see the 134's on the scale this morning. Oh, well.

Overall, pretty happy with the loss for the challenge (over 13 pounds), and for sticking with it when so many have dropped off. Glad to see the rest of you that have completed this challenge, because that tells me y'all have persistence and fortitude! It's a win for us all that finished this!

Have a great Labor Day weekend! (I'm just glad the hurricane has moved through and the weather should be improving for those of us in Central FL...sick of being stuck inside at this point).

This gain was just bad eating. Poor planning & prep lead to poor eating choices so back to prep & planning. I think some of the previous gain was water & hopefully all of it will come back off! Onward and upward!!

Goal was to hit 154....

Lost 23 lbs for the challenge. Although I missed the goal by 4lbs, I was very proud of sticking with this and ultimately it means I've lost 80 lbs this year. Thank you everyone who participated. It was so motivating to watch other's numbers each week as well.

Nice job everyone!!
