This was a great finish for me, a new decade, halfway to goal, and no longer in the obese catergory! I even switched scales during this challenge so I've actually lost 3.5 more pounds than what this reflects!

Well, this is certainly not how I wanted to end this challenge, but I'm trying to concentrate on the overall loss (16 pounds!) and get myself geared up for the next challenge. I wanted to weigh in today so I could finish one thing before I started another. Just worked best for me. Congrats to all the biggest losers of this challenge!!

Didn't have much progress on the final week, but PsA is flaring so I'm rather puffy. Hopefully I'll have a good loss the first week of the next challenge. Still happy that overall the scale is moving in the right direction and I'm down 17.8lbs since we started. Congrats to everyone who met their goals and to everyone else who stuck with it until the end!! :drinker:

Finishing off this challenge 8.4 pounds lighter firmly in the lower 160s. I am seeing the next decade in my future soon. Thanks for all the motivation. Congratulations to all who finished lighter than they started on this challenge. And I know I always learn more and more about the whole process during these challenges. Thanks to those who have been a part of that learning process!

I didn't quite make it to goal for the challenge, but I am sooo happy with where I ended up. I am 18 pounds down from 12 weeks ago and now weigh less than I did before I got pregnant. I also started running and am eating much better than I use to. I am well on my way to being a better, healthier role model for my daughter.

And a big huge NSV for me this morning, I managed to run over 2 miles this morning and the only hard part was the hill back to my parents.

Good luck to everyone with their last weigh in of the challenge. Even if your weight isn't where you want it to be, give yourselves a pat on the back for making it through all 12 weeks.

I'm sure I just posted this but it disappeared or maybe I am going crazy. Well I am disappointed I gained in my last week. This week I have been calorie zigzagging from a post I saw a few weeks ago and my average for the week is worked out at 1800...I think I will try 2000 cals each day again or maybe zig zag around this number and see if that makes a change since the workouts I'm doing now are so intense that maybe I am not eating enough. I started a new workout program this week and I can already see changes so that's good enough for me I have only lost 2lbs for this challenge but I have lost 9 inches so that's made me happy I've loved this challenge with everyone and thanks so much to Kristen for putting so much time into it! Good luck everyone and I hope to see most of you in the other challenge.

Shadowkitty22 - Yay for "looking better naked"!

Brinasacat - Woo hoo for "a new decade, halfway to goal, and no longer in the obese catergory"!

Sailingsal - I hope your ankle heals quickly!

surferfreak - Yay for inches lost!

Congrats to those who reached their goal!! To those that didn't, congrats if you lost weight!

Thank you sooo much, to all of you who stuck with this until the very end!! To those doing the next challenge, I'll see you there! To those who aren't, good luck on your continued journey!

I'm sorry, as your host, that I wasn't a good example with weight loss. Out of the four challenges that I've hosted, this is the first one that I haven't lost some decent weight. :-( This is how I looked at first:

Current Weight: 132.2
Challenge Goal Weight: 128

04/09: 132.2
04/16: 134.4 (enjoyed Easter food a little too long)
04/23: 134.4
04/30: 134.2
05/07: 132.0
05/14: 132.2
05/21: 132.2

then I went on vacation for two weeks (5/21 - 6/4) and had a hard time recommitting for the two weeks after that! Part of my problem during this challenge (My sister! and...) is that I like the way I look in clothes now and I'm pretty happy where I'm at. Feeling/thinking like that, it is hard to change. But my mind also wants to have a number on the scale in the 120s and I really would like to be firmer. For our next challenge, that's what I'm going to work on. I want to get to 128. I want to get firmer. I'm committing here to take my measurements today and again at the end of our "Ready to Rock it" challenge. If I don't accomplish both, I'd rather (at this point in my weight loss journey) have smaller measurements and, at least, be back at my pre-vacation weight.

Thanks for doing the "Thin In My Skin" challenge with me!

I love that attitude, and it hits home with me because you are so right!!! So many times in the past I have given up when the going got tough and found out that did not work for me. The weight came back on (big surprise). Our bodies seem to be strange creatures sometimes, but I truely believe that if we stay the course our bodies will eventually cooperate too. So all that to say - Way to go for sticking with the challenge!!!!:flowerforyou:

I was down to 166, but went to a birthday party yesterday and had one too many cookies and chips. This week will probably not be great for me as it's my birthday week but I'll try my hardest to stay on track. I still made my goal and still lost 2 pounds since last week (bringing the grand total loss in this challenge to 24 pounds!!) See ya at the next challenge!!!

This was a rough time for me. A shoulder injury followed by problems with my knees really impacted my motivation and weight loss. I am so looking forward to the new challenge. I weighed in last night for that challenge because I wanted to make sure I got my weigh in numbers in for the start. The good news is that this morning, I was down another 1.5 pounds from yesterday..hope I keep going in this direction. See you in the next challenge!!
Thank you Kristen for keeping us going and thanks to all for the group sharing!

I didn't hit my final goal for this challenge, but I am down 16.5 pounds for this challenge so I feel VICTORIOUS nonetheless.

Thank you team for all your support along the way! Hope to see many of you on the Rock It challenge!

Hugs, Amy
