Ultimate Goal Weight: 130-140? Not sure about this one.
Maybe this challenge will be just what I need to get out of my latest plateau.

I have a whole pile of 'skinny clothes' - I want to throw them out & buy a completely new set!
& I'm going to add a goal for this month for myself - I'm going to commit to tracking no matter what (it's something I struggle with).
Good luck everyone!0 -
All right- dang nab it- you got me! I said to myself I'd like to lose 10 # between now and 9/7. I purchased some of that green coffee extract to help me along... Being accountable in this way will be good- because left to my own devices, I'm hopeless!
I'm thinking if I beef up my running regimen and perhaps bike after work, I can do this. I'm starting to feel fat again as the pounds are mounting back on- I hate that feeling. I need this...
Thank you for the challenge.

When I reach my goal weight, I'll have to go on a shopping spree at the outlet mall because I will be smaller than I've ever been in my adult or even teen life!0 -
