    Well, I took the challenge and my goal was 9lbs to be 4%. Starting weight was 231, finishing weight was 224. I lost 8 pounds. I didn't quite make it, but, close. I will try again in April for 4%. I'll take 8 pounds over 0 pounds I guess. Thanks for the challenge.

    Final Weigh-in:

    I don't know what to do with this one. As of Thursday, the scale said 130. Then yesterday it said 129.2. Then this morning it said 127.6. Can that be? I do tend to go slow, slow, slow and then show a bigger drop, but I don't know if I can trust this one. It was also that TOM, so there may have been some water retention that I finally shed this week.

    I'm tempted to just go with the 129.2 - I just don't think the 2.6 pounds is going to hold up. I'll just post both. It will be interesting to see my starting weight for next month's challenge!

    I guess I just showed why you should only weigh yourself once a week and not every day (something I already know, but just don't follow).

    Either way, I'm making progress and I see and feel changes and that's all that matters. Even at the 129.2, I'm close to 1 pound per week.

    Starting Weight – 132.8 lbs. (Thursday 1st March)
    Goal Weight Loss – 5.3 lbs
    Week 1 –131 lbs. and 1.35% lost (Thursday 8th March)
    Week 2 - 131 lbs. and 1.35% lost (Thursday 15th March)
    Week 3 - 130.2 lbs. and 1.95% lost (Thursday 22th March)
    Week 4 - 130 lbs. and 2.11% lost (Thursday 29th March)

    Based on 129.2:
    Total Lost – 3.6 lbs. (Saturday 31st March)
    Total % Lost – 2.7% (Saturday 31st March)

    Based on 127.6:
    Total Lost – 5.2 lbs. (Saturday 31st March)
    Total % Lost – 3.92% (Saturday 31st March)
