Dec 21 - final weigh in!

Runningcircuits

Final week and things have gotten tough for me here at the end. I think I have had a glass of wine or other libation every night this week. I am so pleased to have learned all about circuit training and to have fallen in love with Jillian. I am also beyond happy to report that I think I have ditched my "all or nothing" attitude for good.

Congrats to everyone who completed this challenge and stuck around the whole time. See you in the St. Patrick's Day challenge.

Didn't quite make 20 but SO incredibly happy with my progress. I attribute so much of that success to the support and accountability of this group, thank you all so much!

Jen, my "all or nothing" mindset is going to be tested as I try to maintain over this holiday week. I'll think of you when I feel tempted to be too strict on myself. Grtfldd1, you are an inspiration! Congratulations on your remarkable success!

Way to go, you both have rocked the challenge! I think that anybody that made it this far deserves a big applause, whether you reached your goal not.

I didn't come close to the 20 lb goal, but I wasn't expecting to with only averaging 0.5 lb loss/week (which is safely recommended when breastfeeding). But I have lost a few inches and lost another couple inches this past week. I am happy I made it this far and don't plan on stopping. :-)

I have lost 6.2 pounds on this challenge and almost 15 inches all over my body. See you all next week in the St. Patty's challenge!

Didn't quite make 20lbs... but still so happy to be 16.3lbs lighter since the start of this challenge and look forward to continuing this journey in the St. Patty's challenge.

Everyone has done so fantastic and seeing the commitment by others has been inspirational in helping keep going. So I just want to say thank you everyone for helping me keep that focus and for Jen especially for starting this group!

Hope you all have a fab Christmas and Happy New Year! :drinker:

Great job everyone! This was fun and very motivating.

I started the challenge at 185, and today I weighed in at 167.2! That's only 2.2 pounds short of my 20 pound goal. I'll take it!

I lost about 5 pounds this year before the fall when I joined this challenge and got serious about working out and changing my eating habits. Now I rarely go over my calories and work out at least three times a week- these days, it's usually running and weight lifting. I've never lost so much weight so quickly before and am now 37 pounds away from my goal. I started at 200 pounds in 2011 with some pipe dream of reaching 130 one day... now I can actually see the end in sight!

Thanks everyone! It's been a blast, can't wait for the next challenge.

This challenge was not what I wanted and the Christmas season coming I just caved with
all the temptations. Not doing the final weigh in but thanks for letting me join anyway.

Good Luck to everyone who stayed the whole 14 weeks and succeeded. :drinker:

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. When January comes its back to
serious weight loss.

I started into this challenge after the start date. Since Sept. 18, 2013 I have lost 37 lbs. I think I made it and then some. Congratulations to everyone on their losses. Every loss is a win!

Stayed the same this week and eventhough I strained my back muscle and couldn't walk for the last four days I think I would have stayed the same anyway. My family has way too many celebrations this December month, starting with 10 different birthdays . I am quite happy with the results so far and can't wait for the St Pattys Day challenge.

Thanks to everyone for sticking with this group challenge and congratulations to all no matter how much you lost. I think everyone is a winner just for being here.

This group inspired and helped me a great deal. Many motivated and kind folks. Have a safe and happy Christmas week.

Gain this week: .6 lbs
Total Challenge loss: 16.5 lbs

I weighed in a day late as I knew I was retaining a ton of water yesterday (that time of month). Much better this morning, but still a gain from last week. On the other hand, the 2 lb. loss last week always seemed a bit optimistic as a permanent loss.

I didn't make the full 20 lbs., but am happy to be 16.5 lbs. lighter and looking forward to keeping up the progress through St. Patrick's Day. I am grateful for the support and accountability this group provided! Congratulations to all who stayed through this whole challenge, and extra kudos to those that made their full goals (and more in some cases!). I am proud of you all.
