Not much movement in the measurements the last 3 weeks. The scale started going in the opposite direction but since my measurements remained the same, I'm think maybe I put on muscle weight from beginning Strong Lifts. I'm a bit bummed that I didn't get my waist to 28" (That was the only measurement I really cared about). But 29.5" is still better than 31"!

Hi everyone. I am out of town and not near a scale. the last few weeks have not been good for me. I've kinda not cared and that's never a good thing. I'm starting to get back - and feel confident by Monday I'll be ready to be back on track.

thanks for the support!

have a great 2013!!!

I did not accomplish the goal I set out for myself thanks Denise for doing the challenge you were awesome. My weight sucks though I actually weigh for more than when I started :-( today was 186 still looking forward to rocking 2013

bluiz13

i'm not going to "finish" our chart....not many are still hanging on and overall only a few were "successful" in losing weight while others did well maintaining even though they were striving for losses...i'm done with challenges for a bit.....best of luck to you all in 2013 reaching your goals whatever they may be....luckily everyone on the thread is on my friends list already so i'll be able to keep up with all your amazing successes this year.....hugs, denise
