    I did it! My food diaries are open so please check them out if you want to see how. For me, it's all about making positive choices that are healthy so I don't feel like I'm denying myself anything. That and a food scale for some portion control, very limited snacking (no eating because I'm bored!), fun physical exercise, and being OK with being a bit hungry once in a while. Thanks for the challenge--it really helped me stay focused and now I'm almost at my goal after only two months!

    I was down to 161.3 on 2/27, for a total of 7 lbs, but that was mostly a result of being sick from 2/21-2/26 so I'm okay that I'm back up on 2/28.

    Congrats to everyone who participated, even if you didn't make the 5!
