Only one more week!!!

I'm doing a community weight loss challenge (with 250 other people). So far I've managed to stay in first place. Next Sunday is our last weigh in, and I've been on a 2-week stall. I haven't changed a thing...counting all of my calories and exercising 6 days/week. The second place winner was 0.9% behind me as of last week--too close for comfort.

When I joined this challenge, I only did it to kick start my weight loss...I wasn't planning on being anywhere near the top let alone in first place! But then again, I am a competitive person which is what has been driving me this past month--visioning the naming rights of 1st place!! :bigsmile:

To top it off, I'm traveling for work 2 days next week, and I'm also going camping next weekend. I'm not so worried about the camping, because I'll plan my meals before I go and I'll walk my butt off at the campground. And really I'm not worried about the traveling because I've made smart choices up til now. I'm just trying to figure out a way to kick this stall and guarantee my 1st place spot.

My current daily calorie goal is 1200 (I'm usually sitting on my butt all day at work), but I do eat my exercise calories. My calories burned per day usually are around 550-600; but there are some days, especially on weekends, that I do 2 workouts and double those calories burned.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would more then welcome them. Normally I wouldn't worry. I've lost a total of 31 lbs. since Feb. 1st and stalls are to be expected, but this is just really bad timing. I started using MFP a week after I started the challenge which is why it says I've lost 24 lbs.

Thanks for letting me vent outloud!
