    Hi everyone, hope it was a good week!

    This week I'm down 1.2 to 134.7.

    Camping was pretty good but wow, are the wood ticks out in full force. We actually ended up cutting our trip short because we were starting to find so many of them on our dog. Ewww, I don't handle stuff like that well!

    Looks like our army is growing in leaps and bounds! Jenn, you're doing a great thing keeping everyone motivated! (If it wasn't for this group my little fall off the wagon would have lasted MUCH longer.) This week's challenge is a fantastic idea!

    healthyeater9 – Baby steps are where it’s at! Great job!
    fordbarth – Happy to see you post today! That’s awful about the ticks. Did you get them all off the dog? The army does feel like it is getting bigger with all the "hellos" and "is there room for one mores" but alas it is actually shrinking. . .almost all of the folks who say hello never return and several of our original recruits are MIA. That being said, we are still stronger than ever and will continue to push each other! I’m so happy that you like the challenge!
    barty – My goodness you’ve been a busy bee! Sounds like everything is going wonderful for you and you deserve you! I love BBQ! Congrats on the pound down! I think with the nicer weather we’re going to see some really great results from everyone!
    enromero – You are busy, make sure you don’t wear yourself out. You are doing so well!
    bowbee – Thanks for the drive by! Look at you go! 1.8 pounds down! Fantastic!

    Everyone is doing so well!! :flowerforyou:

    I had Mon and Tues off of work this week, so I haven't been able to weigh myself. I could go in just to do it, but I never like to go into the hospital if I don't have to.
    So I will report first thing in the morning.
    It has been sooo beautiful here the past couple of days. Hope everyone else has been able to enjoy the beginning of summer!

    Jenn!!! I love the idea of the new challenge. I have no idea what I'm going to do, but I'm excited to do something fun and new. I WISH I could go to a movie by myself but that won't happen. Wes can't handle the loud noises and Kenny is working late :( Does standing up to a "bully" count? It's sad to be a grown woman and still be bullied by someone, but I've reached my breaking point! Anywho, I hope I have something positive and fun to report!!!

    maur52een – There’s a huge chance that you can join us! We weigh-in on Monday mornings and on Tuesday I post a chart with everyone’s progress. I give weekly challenges and we motivate and support each other!
    sweet148angel – Sounds good, well I will post the graph tomorrow morning then that way we’ll have your results on there as well. Can’t go into battle with out all of the troops now can we!
    aprilchampalmer – Holy, you need some you time pronto! it’s all good, as long as you get it in before the graph then you’ll be on it.
    melbhall – I thought it was a fun idea, I think I’m going to try and come up with fun challenges like that every week. Standing up to a bully? I don’t think I have the balls to do that, wow, good luck. Where do you know her from?

    So, just a little change in plans this week, I’m going to post the graph tomorrow. On a personal note, I’m really trying hard to get to the down 20 pounds by Saturday so I’m going to be doing a weigh-in everyday this week. I know it’s bad to weigh yourself everyday and I use to do it and it wasn’t very constructive at all but for this I think I need to so that I can really push myself. That being said, I weighed myself this morning and I’m down 0.6 pounds! 2.6 pounds to go. I know it’s a huge chance but I’m really hoping I can do it.

    Do you weigh yourself the same time every time? I think that makes a difference and I weigh myself everyday but just don't put too much emphasis on it. I know how fast it can change. Best of luck losing those last 2.6lbs! It's all about calories in, calories out so get out and rock out some calorie burns!

    GOOD LUCK!!

    metfanlisa – I usually only weigh myself once a week but right now because I’m trying super hard to reach this goal I’ve been weighing myself daily. Yes I weigh myself at exactly the same time every day.
    fordbarth – Thanks so much and I will be, I just really want to reach this goal, haha. It’s the first goal that I’ve ever set with an actual date to it. I’m getting closer!
    blondie76 – Will do! Can’t wait for next week’s results!
    Setneuf – Good luck to you on your challenge.
    sweet148angel – Don’t be sorry, we’re a team!

    It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for! A day late but here is our progress chart! It looks great everyone!

    No holiday this weekend in Canada but I am off to a wedding out of town without my girls so I'm pretty excited about that. The hubby is coming too which is nice because he always has to work weekends (he's a Chef) but he took a weekend off for the first time in 4 years.

    You're doing so well! So close to that 199 mark!!
