    I had a bad week this week with regards to the scales as I have had some serious sleep issues or lack there of, with 2 days of about 4 hours and a day with just an hour which meant my weight went up significantly, on the plus side it is now back down to just above what I weighed in last week at. THe other plus is I seem to have lost another 1.5 inches from around my waist now registering at about 32.5 down from an original 47 when I lost the first chunk of weight several years ago.

    Oops! Well I'm sure I'll lose it this week, I just got off a plane and I'm on my period so I'm sure the 4 pound gain is mostly water. I also had copious amounts of alcohol last week during the reunion, but it could have been worse, I kept up with my water and I'm sure to shed it all soon.

    I know Stephanie has stuff going on next week so I was going to get our next challenge started. Our "Personal Independence Day Challenge" :happy: look for the link to it soon! The 4th falls on a Monday so when our Memorial day challenge ends on the 29th we'll go ahead and start the next challenge on Monday the 30th and we'll have 5 full weeks to get to our mini goals. I know lots of peeps including myself hate to weigh in on Mondays because we tend to "cheat" on the weekends but perhaps this will help you be accountable all 7 days of the week? Coolio! Hope you are all having great weeks!

    I love it! I was so hoping we'd have an Independence Day Challenge - for some reason - it's these small goals/challenges that are really helping me to keep going and stay on track. Thanks so much for doing these!!!!

    Didn't quite reach my goal, only 3.1 pounds lost in the 5 weeks, so not a stellar performance. I've had an incredibly hectic work schedule plus being out of town on vacation set me back a bit. Are we doing a July 4th challenge? I sure hope so because I'm ready to rededicate myself and get back to it stronger!!!

    I weighed myself early yesterday and there was no change, but when I weighed this morning I was a pound down!! Yay! At least I lost one pound on this challenge! I am doing much better the last week or so, so I believe that the Independence Day challenge will be much better. Good job everyone!!

    Woo Hoo! Well I'm 3lbs short of this goal but I still lost 13 pounds this challenge with a weeks vacation smack dab in the middle of it! I'm glad to know that it only takes a week or so to get back to where I started when I take vacations. I mean before I'd be so discouraged that I got off track in the first place that it would take months to get back to where I started. Sometimes years! So I really feel like this challenge was a big success, in more ways than one!

    I also just created the "Personal Independance Day Challenge" here is the link! I'm sure you all know what to do! See you there, and once again a huge big thanks to Stephanie "Legacysh" for stepping in with the Memorial Day Challenge! Good luck to you all!

    I am nowhere near my goal, but the past 5 weeks sucked! I was sick, had cortisone shots in my back, work stress...and I had been losing the same 5 lbs for the past 3 months! I finally broke through it though! I feel better, more motivated...and despite being 14lbs away from the goal I had set for myself, I feel successful! I hope we have another challenge...maybe one that goes to July 4th (my 26th birthday)?!
