    Well I am sorry I dropped out. I had a wee set back with my recovery, so I decided to be a little kinder to myself until I am back on my feet. I will join back in for the next challenge! Good luck to you all!

    Weighing in early because I'm heading out of town for the holiday weekend. Will try to behave myself!!!

    SW: 150.6
    GW: 145

    Week 1 (6/6/11): 151.6
    Week 2 (6/13/11): 150.7
    Week 3 (6/20/11): 149.3
    Week 4 (6/27/11): 148.8
    Week 5 (7/4/11): 148.7

    Only a loss of 0.1 this week--so not really a loss, but TOM is here and I wasn't totally on my game this week. Didn't make my challenge goal, but at least the scale is still moving in the right direction--even if it is at a snail's pace!!!

    What's the next challenge? I'm guessing a labor day challenge?? Labor Day is only 9 weeks from July 4th! :smile:

    Didn't quite reach my goal, but I'm satisfied considering all that's going on in my life (remodeling the house-- no kitchen!) I'm looking forward to the next challenge and striving to reach my first real goal of 145. Getting close!

    Wishing everyone a great holiday weekend. Have fun and be safe. :-)

    I didn't make it to my goal weight, perhaps losing 10 pounds so quickly was a bit much for a beginner...BUT I am sooo proud of myself that I lost as much as I did, that's a huge step for me. Not only does the scale say so, but I've had a pair of jeans in my closet that I love but haven't worn in probably over a year because they are too tight. I think maybe I've worn them for a couple hours a few months ago, but then they started digging into my hips and hurting! Well yesterday I wore those bad boys ALL day with no problem!!! So YAY me :) Hope everyone enjoyed doing this challenge even if they didn't make it to their goal, I know I did! :) Hope everyone has a great and safe holiday!!!

    For the next two weeks I am planning on working out on the elliptical for 7 - 10 minutes everymorning before taking a shower to see if I can speed loss up any. I am not a morning person. I will do my usual evening workout too.
