Good Monday morning friends! Thought I'd start a new post for the challenge! Here's my stats:

Started challenge (7/8)--174 pounds
Last week (7/14)--171.5 pounds
Today (7/21)--169.5 pounds
Challenge Goal (by 9/1)--167 pounds

Total lost--4.5 pounds
Remaining--2.5 pounds

SO...looking good!:drinker: I'm thinking I can actually lose much more than just the 2 pounds I have remaining. We still have quite a while. I'm thinking I should maybe chance my goal. I would love to reach 162 by then...that's 5 more pounds, so 7.5 total in the 6 weeks remaining. Doable? I think there's a good possibility. SO...

New goal (by 9/1)--162 pounds

Total lost--4.5 pounds
Remaining--7.5 pounds

WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

    I'm just getting discouraged, because I was down to 175.5 about 2 weeks ago, and now I've gained 6 lbs back again. It's hard to focus.

    I might have to move my goal from 228 to 220 or something, since I seem to be doing so well! However I am off of work and on vacation for 2 weeks in August so we'll see how hard it is to be prefect/good while out of town!
