    I couldn't find my starting weight but I weighed in this morning and am 278. Finally over the first hurdle(mini goal) of 30 lbs. Tonight I am going to celebrate with Papa Murphys Delite Pizza and Miller 64 beer. 2 slices and 4 beers ring in a total of 656 calories and I don't feel like I am compromising a bit because it is delicious. Thank you for the challenge. I have always given up on diets after four or five weeks and I have as much drive today as I had on April 12 when I started.

    Well folks, it looks like I've reached my plateau... May's starting and ending weight: 167. :ohwell: There were some ups and (slightly) downs throughout the month, but generally the scale keeps landing on 167 (still 21 lbs lighter than October!). I'm going to have to do more than just healthy eating and drinking and occasional workouts. Time for me to really get moving! :tongue:

    P.S. I'm choosing to weigh in today instead of Sunday because I have a feeling Sunday's weight might be slightly higher (weekends are a little more relaxed for me). Wouldn't want to end the challenge by gaining! :wink:

    WOW! I am so happy that so many of you are reaching your goals!

    Bride: dont get discouraged... plateaus just mean your body thinks that it doesn't need to lose anymore weight and it is your job to make sure that you reach a healthy weight for you... When people hit plateaus they tend to give up and gain back so... DONT GIVE UP!

    My SW was 252, my final weight is 250. I wanted to loose 5lbs, but I only lost 2lbs. That's okay. I'll do better in the June Challenge. :tongue:
