    Grouch201 - 202 as of this morning.

    Weighed in this morning at 198.2.

    Final weight is 200.00. Not at all sad about the up-tick considering I am saying goodbye to 38 pounds in 2010.

    Omygoodness... I am so glad that I am determined. The old me would be so upset...
    I started the holidays at 225... I end them at 235... Well, I am 5 lbs off my maintenance weight of 230...(Hence DJackson230)...

    I really think I have found myself though... Thanks for all who particpated in the challenge... I knew it would be a struggle for me... I have to believe that I have added some muscle... Been working out hard...

    Be good my friends...

    First of all I must say this was absolutely BRILLIANT beyond words!!!
    Secondly I must say this was NOT easy to do. Yeeeeeeah, I thought it would be a lot easier....ha ha ha!
    Everyday I thought about this...hence the brilliance of the challenge! Knowing that I would have to show up here on Jan 3rd with my number....it kept me on my toes and my grubby little hands out of the cookie jar more than I would have.
    But by the hair on my chinny chin chin I lost 1 pound.

    My start weight 178.5
    My end weight 177.5

    Phew am I glad this challenge is over!

    A HUGE shout out to our wonderful BRILLIANT leader DJackson230 WHOOOOOOOOP simply the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!
    THANK YOU!!!

    Well, I SHOULD have lost, because I was doing great until this last week. However, I can honestly say I did not gain. In fact, I officially lost .2 pounds. (I won't tell you how much it would have been if this was a week ago!)

    164 pre-turkey
    haven't weighed my self since...


    To me it's all about a sustainable lifestyle. If I'm going to deprive myself of everything, I'll never be able to keep this up.

    Okay, The holiday calories were counter balanced by the stress of a death in the family and then by my getting sick, so I went down to 157 then back up to 160.
