    Hello my lovely accountability buddies. I joined this challenge basically from the start. Then I learned I was pregnant and became a cheerleader for all of you. However, it is with a heavy heart that I share I am no longer pregnant. Obviously, I have a bit more to focus on that tracking food and my appetite has taken a back seat to my grief. I do look forward to taking care of myself and working on this goal. I could use a healthy distraction to keep me busy. I want to thank all of you for your motivation and being such great examples of perseverance. Love you all, keep kicking butt!!! I welcome any friend request or comments from people who have been able to stay healthy when life hands you a big bowl of "kitten"

    Tomorrow is weigh in day. Good luck internet strangers.

    Two months left. Can someone start editing together a montage set to Green Day’s "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)"?

    July 1st weigh in: 159.4 (actually very proud of this number considering l was on vacation for two weeks; way less than usual control over available food options, but well countered by LOTS of walking pretty much every day. I succeeded in my personal goal of keeping my weight inside a maintenance range while away from home)

    5 pounds in a month is an excellent pace, Karen! Especially for keeping it off in the long term.

    Okay so weighed in today and after 3weeks maintaining I managed to drop 1lb.

    I am not all that happy about it just being one pound however it is better than a gain.

    If things proceed well, the Sept goal will go lower

    New September 1 GW 153 (or better)
