    with all these people on this challenge, you think we'll all lose every week? I doubt it. I've been super good, religiously good and the scale hasn't budged. {/quote]

    my week was like that last week - my first week on this challenge, and I lost all of 3 ozs. In fact, for the first 3 months of this year, despite joining the gym and turning up religiously, I only shed 4 pound or so. Then in April things finally started to change - then stalled last week - then down again this week. As JuliGiGoolee said - Keep your eye on the bigger prize.

    I know this started on the 2nd but I'd like to join in. 25lbs is my first weight loss goal because whenever I get under 300lbs I have tons of energy. With having so much to lose I won't have any problem losing that by September.

    I've never actually done one of these accountability buddy things but I'm down to add anyone who's interested. I can't promise that I'll always be able to check into people, I'm not always on my phone or near it even lol
    SW 125
    GW 115
    Side note: I get I'm not overweight, it's more for small fat loss/toning. And mainly tracking cholesterol.
    I'm doing yoga, so there's that.

    Thank you for posting this challenge...it's just what I need! I've gained 20+ lbs over the last year and I'm pretty upset with myself. Today I am making different choices about exercise and food. My fabulous news is I'm getting a puppy! I'll be able to get her towards the end of June so will be out for frequent walks.

    This is very much in line with my goal to lose 19 lbs by September. I’m new to taking this weight loss thing seriously and would love to share accountability!

    This morning I climbed a very steep hill for 30 mind and came back down for 30 and now o get to eat a little more today! Love that feeling of being able to have more fun with food than on a non exercise day. That’s how I’m working my program... how about you guys?

    Weekly weigh in:
    Last week: 199.8
    This week: 200.4

    April 1st weigh in: 203
    Ultimate goal weight: 160

    I am upset that I gained this week. I had a 4 day work conference, tried to eat mostly healthy, but had 3 desserts and drank alcohol every day. So I guess I should be happy that I didn’t gain more. I am getting back on track this week!

    What a positive attitude. I’m impressed that you you only gained around a half a pound in exchange for desserts and booze. I think I’ll let myself have a treat of I went away for a workcation. Back on track though!
