***********IMPORTANT....READ ME.....IMPORTANT....READ ME.....IMPORTANT.....READ ME....ok, if I didn't get your attention I don't know what will. *********

Alright my darlings....here is the link to the "Recruitment Thread" for our new challenge. It explains everything in (great) detail. Forgive me...I find myself long-winded some times.

Anywhoo...just post on that thread if you are ready to continue for the rest of the summer. I'm starting to get my list ready now.

jen0125

well my eating has gotten way out of control the past few weeks, and the past few days i've gone back into the 6,000 calories plus per day. so i am happy that i am still at 144 this week and end the challenge one pound less than my goal. reving up to start anew...soon! ha!

GOAL! I was down to the wire getting to my goal, but I did it!

Beckdubs, Newmeat - LOVE the pictures! You're both looking great. And as others have said, congrats to everybody who finished this challenge. Coming back week after week and holding yourself accountable over a long challenge like this is no small feat.

I had my body composition tested at the gym today so I can compare it to the end of our next challenge. I'm at a BMI of 26.5 down from 31.4 at the beginning of the challenge and 36.6 at the beginning of the year. I'm at 29% body fat down from 43% in January (didn't have it tested at the beginning of this challenge).

I'm a happy camper right now.

Well I gained this week putting me at an official ending weight of 287.0. Less than a pound up from last week but I am not happy about it. I can't figure out why because I have been under my calorie goal every day.

On the bright side, I am still 3 lbs lower than my goal for the challenge, giving me a total loss of 25.7 lbs and I am ECSTATIC about that. I can't wait for the next challenge to start!

I didn't take before pictures at the start of the challenge, but I have taken one now for the start of this one. I have been keeping track of measurements though and here are those changes:

Waist (measured at navel) 54 to 49
Hips 48 to 46
Chest 51 to 48
Thighs 30 to 28
Total loss of 12 inches in 12 weeks
