    Wow 15 days, I can't believe it. I have lost 7lbs so far, and in two weeks I think I can only safely lose 4lbs. I am going to go for it and give it my all. I have big plans for the 4th and I would be ecstatic to be at 126. My original goal was to be 123, now looking back I think that was unrealisti.

    Hope everyone is doing well.

    Hey guys, just doing my Monday check in. I weighed in at 130.6, the same exact weight as last Monday. A little bit disappointing, but have to say I am happy that I did not gain any weight back and that if I am losing weight slowly then that's a good thing and my chances are better of keeping it off i the long run. Goal for next week 128.6, wish me luck.

    Original Wt: 137.8
    Wt @ beg. of challenge: 136.6
    Current Weight: 130.6

    Good luck everyone and keep your eye on the prize, nothing tastes as good as being fit feels.

    I just spent 2 days at Great America and my weight jumped back up by 4 lbs, so .... BOO!

    I am still hoping that I will be able to hit 180 by the fourth.

    Current Weight 184.5 :brokenheart: :cry:

    Hey Everyone!!! We only have 7 days to go. I don't think I will hit my goal. I am 9 pounds away from it. But, overall, I'm happy with what I've done so far. I've lost 12.5 pounds total since I started MPF on May 17th. After the 4th is over, we'll have to pick another goal. Thanks for starting this! :drinker:

    Thank you! Thank You! Now I'm going to try to push it up a little more and see if I can lose 20 lbs in 2 months! I have off for 3 weeks, so I'm hoping to do 2 a day workouts. I would have today if I hadn't taken a digger on my roller blades hahaha. I have a family reunion to go to on September 1st. Ah! So! I wanna be skinny, hehe. :wink:
