Hey everybody!

Welcome to the next postcard challenge. Here is how this works:

Enter your starting weight by Sunday, March 17th. Then we will all work really hard to eat right and exercise.

THEN... 2 weeks later, on Sunday, March 31st, everyone checks back in with their new and improved weight. The person who has the biggest percent of weight loss gets a postcard from YOURS TRULY!!! (from somewhere in "exotic" Belgium :laugh: )

How fun is that! You know you want me to send you a post card.

Sorry for the short notice on this one but want the challenge to be done in time for Easter dinner :laugh: See you all on Sunday!

PS - If you see this after 3/17 you can still join, just remember you will have less time than those who get their weigh-ins on Sunday.

    I'm in!

    Starting weight is still the same 201 from a week ago :(

    Hopefully in the next two weeks I will get well below that 200 mark, which would also put me at a 10% loss.

    Thanks Concordancia for asking Lori Lynn to weigh in :-)

    How is everyone doing so far?

    I have had an off week food wise but my exercise level is finally returning back to what it had been pre-flu- now to boost that a bit more and get the food under control :-)

    Hope you all have a fabulous friday!

    That's great Evelyn! How is everyone else doing?

    I am getting my exercise in but have had quite a bit of salt, think I will up my water volume and try to flush that all away!

    I finally broke through the stall and lost three pounds! My three month total is 10% of my starting weight! Since I was stuck for so long, I am still hoping for another one by Sunday!

    I did not lose one pound (or even one ounce) this entire challenge, so I'll bow out. :) Looking forward to the next one!

    Current weight - 222 lbs

    Congrats to anyone who lost weight during the challenge... even if we don't win a postcard, we have won a little in the battle of the bulge and have received the award of better health & more time on this planet. :flowerforyou:
