    I am hoping to go down to 121 in 2 months from now
    Start weight 15x (March this year)
    July 10: 134.2
    July 17: 131.4
    July 24: 129.4
    July 31:

    Absolutely excited about the loss this week!

    Though losing 9 lbs in the next 5 weeks to reach my goal of 121 I really don't think it's going to happen, plus I'm away on holiday the first week of August (Yay!) but I'm determined! Reaching goal a month or so later is totally acceptable to me!

    Great weight loss for being so close to goal. WTG

    Life happens. I was away 10 days also. Just got back with my logging and eating within my calorie goal. Glad you got to visit with your family. Precious memories.

    I've never joined a challenge before, but I'm looking for some motivation!

    My July goal is to weigh 155 or less at the end of the month.

    July 1: 159.0
    July 8: 160.0 over-indulgence on the holiday and insufficient exercise.
    July 15: 157.8
    July 22: 159.0 No exercise=no progress.
    July 29: 157.0

    I didn't make my goal of 155 for the month, but I'm very happy to be moving in the direction of my goals.

    I'm really grateful for the opportunity to participate in the challenge. It provided some much-needed motivation, and just being part of the group was incredibly helpful.

    I'm shocked because I haven't been particularly good this week, had three days where I was over my 1,200 calories (one of those days I was almost 600 calories over!) I guess what MFPers say is true, the calorie counts are guides and it's okay to not be so true to the numbers. Makes sense, being over because of grilled salmon & broccoli is better than being over from eating two Krispy Kreme donuts, maybe.?!

    3rd - 199.9lbs

    Good job hanging in there. You are so close to being out of the twos. You still have one more day. Good luck!
