Not the winner, but certainly not a loser…or am I? (PICS)

We did a weight loss challenge at work & the person with the most percentage of their weight lost would win…our last weigh in was yesterday, we knew it would be close between 3 of us and I’m super bummed to say I didn’t win by than 1%
Of course I logged onto MFP on January 7th a week before we began the challenge & dropped 7 pounds in 7 days, had that been added to my total I would have easily won.
I am still proud of myself because since January 14th:
My BMI went down 4 points
I dropped 18 pounds (just during the competition with 25 pounds total so far at my weight now I am 1.2 pounds from 10% of my original weight)
I also dropped a total of 11.5 inches off my waist, neck, hips & bust (wish I would have measured my thighs too)
When we come back from Spring Break we are starting a new round SOOOOOO this girl will for sure take the $$$ then!!!
OH BTW I found out for the last 8 weeks my coworker that barely beat me has only had shakes for breakfast & lunch and just veggies & fruit…she is miserable, where I have not eliminated anything from my diet but instead have worked to keep everything in moderation!
Before I started MFP & 7 weeks later

Awesome job! Good luck in your second round. You look fantastic.0

you look great in your profile pic! (I can't get pics to post right on forums)
You did quite well indeed!
PS: extra Kudos for being healthy and good luck on round #20 -
Great job losing that weight!! You definitely will be keeping it off whereas the 'winner' may have some 'bumps' in the road ahead.0

Every pound lost makes you a winner! Keep in mind that your co-worker is not changing her lifestyle, so will probably gain the weight back when she goes back to eating normally... If she's miserable you know she won't keep it up.0

You are CERTAINLY a winner, no matter what :drinker:0

Congratulations on doing so well and making it a lifestyle change! I'm actually in my last week of a biggest loser challenge through my gym and as of last week I was in 3rd. I too have been doing it the right way, though admittedly for this last week I will probably reduce my calories and may even fast the day before my final weigh in. The winner gets $800 soooo I think it's worth a shot ;-)0

Great job! Sounds like you "won" the right way. =D0

Great job, and what a fun way to keep motivated!0

Thank you everyone! My goal was to drop pounds & get healthier by making small changes so I do feel like in the long run I will be much better off.0

Pam: I think you have done so great. You are a very inspiring person and you lost the weight the right way. You will certainly win the battle with your outlook. From some who is very happy to be your friend.0
