Even though I missed out on the last couple of weeks, mostly due to computer issues, I've managed to keep myself on track and finish at lower than my goal! The best part: I bought a pair of size 18 pants today. When I started my journey at the end of March I was wearing size 24.

Thank you so much, Vic, for doing these challenges and to everyone else who has provided support to everyone involved. I owe so much to you guys for the motivation and encouragement to continue.0 -
Everyone sign up for the Christmas challenge!!! I did and I look forward to seeing you there! Let's all give Falisha a big hand for taking the reins and starting the next challenge so our amazing group can stay together.
It has been a privilege working with all of you for the past 12/24 weeks. I look forward to being able to do it again.0 -
This has been awesome! I am super excited to say that I hit 260 almost on the head with 260.1. I call that a victory!0

I was worried I wasn't going to make it! Checked the scale at the beginning of the week and because of TOM I was up to 170 again so I was really happy this morning. I'm also really happy with my progress over the course of this challenge. My original goal was 174 and have passed that by almost 7lbs.!!! I haven't taken any pics yet, but will try to take some this weekend.0 -

1 pound loss this week. Irean put a stopper in my loss, but I am back at it and happy with the 10 pounds I have lost in the past weeks, plus Tom is just leaving and I could still lose maybe 1 pound more by the end of the weekend. Thanks so much for all the work youve done Vic for the the last 2 challenges.0 -
I haven't posted many pics & have a hard time getting them to be the size that works on here Anyways here they are:
First Pic was taken on April 16th

Thank you Vic soooooo much for this, I've lost *counts on fingers* 17.5lbs? Wow, I'm VERY happy with that. The weekly weigh ins and the charts and the challenges have been great for me – especially now I'm getting towards the end of my weight-loss journey. I'm now 11.5lbs from my ultimate goal weight – though to be honest the closer I get the more I'm not sure if that won't just be a little bit too small for me. I'm already in my goal size clothes (UK size 12), had to completely overhaul my wardrobe and say goodbye to some very loved but also very large clothes, I've lost inches a plenty, and I've had so many NSVs! It's kinda crazy...though the acid test will be next week when I go visit my old Uni friends from my undergrad...who I last saw at new year (when I was 232lbs+) and about 2 days before I started this new lifestyle...they better notice the difference!
I will try and get some pics posted on that (or the new Xmas challenge and accountability threads), if I can get one taken...and also then work out how to get them on a forum...but they'll also definitely get on my profile page.
Please feel free to friend me if any of you would like to stay in touch, it's been such an inspiration reading some of your stories, nsvs and seeing you get over your struggles.0 -
I almost made it my challenge goal... still feel like I'm bouncing around, but I am still trying and that's what counts!

I did not reach my goal, but I lost a total of 7.6 pounds during the challenge. Considering the last few weeks I have not been totally committed to working out and eating right, I am very happy with the overall results!

Ok....I've got some pics. (I'll post on the Success Stories forum tomorrow).
The top set of 4 pics is from January when I started (157+ lbs), the bottom set of 4 pics is from June when the challenge started (135 lbs).
The one in the gray shirt was from my daughter's first day of school (8/29) and I was around 126-127. The one in the blue dress was from my Open House/Meet the Teacher Night (I was 125 -- that was when my tongue was crazy and I couldn't eat). The one flexing is from last night...I'm just a dork. :laugh:
Now go check out the final results at....
